O Beautiful Mind

O beautiful mind


O beautiful mind

How is it that you think your today will be like?

In what ways do you want yours to unfold?

What journey that you wanted it to be?

What story that you wish it will be?

 

O beautiful mind

Did you know that we, human, in particular

Operate in such incredible and amazing ways?

 

For we can shape how we want our "today" will be like

For we can manage our entire lives, down to the hour of every day.

 

For we are capable to think, to feel, to arrange, to re-arranged our days.

For we are more than capable to live the life that we want.

 

For we are the maker of our own story.

"The plan is ours; but God decides" people says.

Sure.

But again, the plan is ours.

We are free to organize our days whatever we like. How-ever we want.

 

We are free to choose our books, our musics, our habits, our performances.

We are free to choose our future, 

We are free to choose our lives.

With pressure from no one, not even ourselves.

 

So then, 

O beautiful mind,

Please hope and strive for the best, 

Please always struggle for the best.

 

Look up to the beautiful, exciting life you will be living

Not just for today, but for tomorrow, for the day after tomorrow, and all of the days after.

Please, 

Look up to life.

Label-free

I mentioned sixth sense in one of my previous post, the “What Should I do” one. True, I stated that the longer we know someone, we’ll develop some kind of sixth sense that’ll help us “communicate” with them. A wordless communication, so to say. That mind reader, gesture-talk kind of things. But I must say that that telepathy is a double edged sword. Why? Because it has its own downside. Opinion. Allow me to quote another saying of Haemin Sunim : “when we think we already know someone, we stop making effort to know them better. Consider when you think you already know your loved ones and when you do, you are failing to see them as they are right now, you see them through the prism of previously held opinions , instead.” Those words quoted from his “Love for Imperfect Things” book, and again, I could not believe how true it is. That “prism of previously held opinions” have an immense power to destroy our relationships because we instantly judge people. We did it in a heart

The Family Who Read

         I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books.           So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father on motivation-filled books, and my mother stays with her love for fa

Learn to Let Go

Let go; letting go :           “An act of letting go; to free yourselves from self-destructive things. Be it a thought, a person, a feeling and anything of the sorts. To make peace with yourself.”           Letting go of someone or something truly is not an easy task, so easy to say yet extremely difficult to do. I just had a very tough day as me and my friend shouldered something we shouldn’t have. We got caught up in the middle of something so bad, which may affect our future (in a bad way, of course). A “bad luck”, so to say. We’re just some unlucky dude who got involved in some unlucky event, basically just being in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Same old story. And so I got home, bursting my anger to an (also) unlucky friend of mine and sure enough, I ended up regretting what I did later.           As my head start to think more clearly, I can see fear as the main culprit of my raging anger. Fear of my lack of knowledge that will eventually lead to my teacher’s
