TERBAIK UNTUKMU

Ketika isi kepala saya penuh dengan sampah yang sudah sangat membeludak, seringkali dalam hening saya hanya duduk disampingnya. Tidak berkata apa-apa. Hanya duduk berdiam diri, kadang sambil memegang tangannya. Dia selalu mengerti dan berkata "Semua pasti berlalu, kamu tahu apa yang seharusnya kamu lakukan". Kalimat itu membuat semua sampah itu lepas dari kepala saya. Kalimat sederhana itu bagaikan heroin yang mampu menenangkan isi hati saya. Dia adalah orang yang sangat mengerti saya. Dia paham siapa saya. Senyumnya mampu membuat saya berjanji kepada diri sendiri akan selalu membahagiakannya.

Dia tahu makanan kesukaan saya. Dia tahu betul apa yang tidak saya sukai. Dia paham suasana hati saya. Dia hafal warna kesukaan saya. Dia yang akan memperhatikan semua barang-barang yang saya gunakan. Dia mengenal saya lebih dari saya mengenal diri saya sendiri. Dia selalu merasakan sakit yang sama jika saya sakit. Dia rela pergi sejauh apapun demi membelikan vitamin buat saya. Dialah orang pertama yang akan saya cari bila hidup terasa tidak adil.

Terima kasih telah membuat saya bangga & bahagia memilikimu. Terima kasih untuk selalu memberikan yang terbaik buat saya. Terima kasih. Terima kasih.

WEDDING PROPOSAL *Tsahh*

Eng ing eng dia datang dalam hidup saya dengan membawa semua keflamboyanannya. Gak ada hujan gak ada badai tiba-tiba berdiri didepan saya sambil memandang dengan tatapan aneh. Bingung sih awalnya. Sempat bertanya-tanya juga maksud & tujuannya untuk ketemu saya adalahhhhhh, entahlah. Well, selesai bincang-bincang dengan seseorang, terus saja saya mengalihkan pandangan padanya. Saya langsung menatap matanya jek, tepat dimatanya -sambil ngomong dalam hati: "tatap mata saya"- hehehehehe. Dengan sopan pastinya saya mengajaknya untuk duduk dimeja ujung, maksudnya biar ngobrolnya lebih nyaman. Dan ternyata saya salah sodara-sodara, kenyamanan tempat duduk & corner itu membuatnya semakin menjadi-jadi mengarahkan pandangannya tepat pada saya. Ehhhh pembaca, risih lagi diliatin sampai sebegitunya. Ya sutralah ya mau bagaimana lagi, terima nasib sajahhhh. 

Ngobrol lah ceritanya ini yak, ternyata dia cuma ingin kenalan. Kirain ada yang mo dicurhatin pak. Iya udah bingung aja biasanya kalau datangnya model-model dan gaya-gaya begini nih ujung-ujungnya mau curhat. Bukan sekali duakali jek, udah keseringan didatangin customer dengan muka model begini buat curhat. Kayaknya saya perlu cek deh jangan-jangan dijidat ada tulisan "Terima Curhat Pelanggan yak" *pusing_pusing*. Well, ngobrol lah kita, kemana-mana pulak lah ngobrolnya. Akhirnya sampailah pada topik intinya yang adalah 'lamaran'. Reaksi saya, kaget lah pasti. Lah, kok ya jadi ngelamar, ini pegimana yak jalan ceritanya tau-tau bisa sampai ke lamaran. Kaget, bingung, lalu tahan nafas, sambil tangan kanan jalan pelan-pelan ke tangan kiri, cubit sedikit. Wekkkk sakit ternyata. Hmmmm beneran lho ini, manusia yang didepan saya, ini lho yang duduk persis didepan saya sedang ngelamar. Huaaaaaa bagaimana ini. Saya kan gak kenal situ lahhhh kok ya situ bisa mengajukan proposal lamaran begini. 

Mata saya terus aja mandang manusia super pede ini. Well, laki sih ya bo, pede mah kudu. Super pede pun halal aja hukumnya. Nah, yang perempuannya yang bengong bego gak tahu harus ngapain. Sudah selesai ritual lamarannya dia baliklah ketempat duduknya bergabung dengan teman-temannya. Saya masuk lah ke ruangan berharap kejadian barusan itu cuma bagian dari skenario orang iseng. Ya iyalah apa yang kamu harapkan jika tiba-tiba ada orang yang mendatangimu & membawa kalimat yang seharusnya di jawab "I Do". Lupakan, yap mari kita lupakan keisengannya dan melanjutkan hidup, begitu pikir saya. Pulang kantor biasanya saya langsung pulang kerumah, mandi, nonton tv sebentar & tidur. Rutin seperti itu biasanya. Lagi asik-asik baring ditempat tidur sambil menikmati siaran televisi tiba-tiba hape saya berteriak minta diangkat. Mengambil hape lalu kening saya mulai berkerut melihat sederetan no yang muncul disana. Siapa? 

Begitu mendengar suaranya jantung saya rasanya mo lepas. Lahhhhh manusia ini tahu dari mana no hape saya. Uaaaaaa bakal merusak keindahan hari-hari saya nih orang kalo sampai tahu no hape segala. Pertanyaan pertama yang keluar dari mulut saya seperti biasa "Kamu tahu no hape saya darimana?". "Name cardmu". Jedinggggg uaaaaaaa kali ini saya benar-benar menyalahkan teknologi *hehehehehe*... Ya sutralah ya terima nasib saja. Ngobrol entah kemana-mana, lalu dia kembali mengajukan proposal nikah. Kali ini saya meresponinya dengan lebih biasa, okelah dengan sedikit lebih tenang dari sebelumnya. Lalu mulai menawarkan pertemanan dengannya. Mau diterima silahkan, ditolak juga gak masalah juga sih. Hasilnya? Ditolak mentah-mentah. "Saya maunya jadi suamimu, bukan berteman denganmu". Lahhhhh pak ini pan penawaran saya, kalau situ menolak gak apa juga kale. 

Yap sodara-sodara ditolak mentah-mentah penawaran saya. Pembicaraan di hape pun terputus dengan penolakannya. Saya tidur, dia entah ngapain. Saya pikir selesai sudah penderitaan saya. Mari kita nikmati tidur saja. Besok pagi-pagi sekali saya dibangunkan dengan teriakan hape. Dengan nyawa masih setengah saya beranjak mengambil hape, meletakkannya ditelinga tanpa melihat dari siapa & jam berapa ini sekarang. Sapaan "halo" saya disambut dengan suara yang membuat saya reflek membuka mata lebar-lebar. Dia, manusia itu kembali menelepon saya. Kiamat, kiamat ini namanya. saya kira tadi malam sudah selesai ternyata ada episode sambungannya toh. Uaaaaaa. Mau bagaimana lagi, meladeninya bicara di hape. Well, lebih tepatnya mendengarkannya 'update' status kegiatan seminggunya. Saya cuma diam & iya2 saja. Lah lantas mo ngomong apa. Ngobrol ngarul ngidul kembali. Saya hanya menyediakan telinga sebagai pendengar yang baik. Yaaaa itung-itung belajar sabar dengerin cerita orang lah ya.

Semakin kesini obrolan sudah lebih terarah. Lebih tepatnya saya yang berjuang keras mengarahkannya yang selalu melenceng kemana-mana. Mencoba untuk menikmati ngobrol dengan orang yang baru saya kenal. Walau bagaimanapun saya menghargai perasaannya. Lepas dari itu benar atau hanya gombal. Yang paling penting buat saya semua orang berhak mengungkapkan perasaannya, apa yang dirasakan, apa yang dipikirkan. Sama seperti kita yang berhak memilih, entah itu menerima atau menolak. Entah itu berkata tidak atau mengiyakan. Saya tetap menawarkan pertemanan padanya meskipun berkali-kali dia menolaknya. Saya menghargai keberaniannya. Saya menghargai waktu yang dia habiskan untuk hanya sekedar menanyakan kabar saya. Saya juga menghargai semua pujian-pujiannya. Tapi semua itu hanya sebatas itu

"Jadi menikahlah dengan saya, kamu akan bahagia dengan saya".... Terserah saja mau bicara apa. Kalau saya untuk saat ini cuma bisa bilang "gak deh".... Ya iyalah gak masa iya sih. Saya gak kenal manusia itu, ketemu juga baru. Dia anak siapa, keturunan siapa, kerja dimana, rumahnya dimana aja saya gak tahu. Masa mo jawab iya sih *geleng_geleng_kepala*.... 

Menikah kan gak semudah membalikkan telapak tangan. Menikah kan bukan main rumah-rumahan ntar kalo bosen tinggal berhenti. Menikah juga bukan cuma untuk setahun dua. Menikah itu harus dipikirkan bukan. Harus melewati masa-masa yang tidak mudah. Menikah kan bukan untuk sementara lalu pisah dikemudian hari dengan alasan "sudah tidak ada kecocokan lagi". Sama aja pasangan yang mau dinikahi pun harus melewati badan sensor yang cukup akurat. Rumah tangga mana bisa dibangun cuma dari rasa suka & cinta aja. Emang kalo kehabisan uang bisa beli beras, minyak goreng, gula, garam, dll diwarung cuma dengan cinta. Buehhhhh mana bisa begitu jek. Yaaaa dipikirkan dululah ya. Walaupun hati kita sangat-sangat yakin dengan perasaan yang mengatakan "Ini dia orang yang saya cari selama ini" tapi tetep bo logika pun harus jalan. Perhatian perhatian logika harus jalan lho ya bukan jalan ditempat. Nah emang ntar bisa beli nasi bungkus di restoran padang cuma pake cinta. Gak bisa kan. Lalu kenapa harus kedebak-kedebuk waktu memutuskan untuk menikah.

Seringkali nih hanya cuma malu dibilang gak laku terus memutuskan menikah dengan orang yang tidak tepat. Hanya karena takut kejar-kejaran dengan umur lantas memilih siapa aja yang ada didepan mata. Terserah sih, itu hak asasi. Hanya kalau saya lebih memilih untuk selektif. Terserah orang mau bilang apa kek. Toh yang ngejalanin hidup pernikahan nantinya kita toh. Lantas jika menikah karena omongan kanan kiri terus berantem, beda pendapat apalagi beda prinsip yang gak bisa ditoleransi lalu memutuskan untuk cerai, siapa yang bertanggung jawab coba. Menikahlah karena memang kita telah menemukan pilihan yang tepat. Menikahlah karena memang waktunya telah tiba. Menikahlah karena memang pilihan kita benar-benar yang surga sediakan untuk menghabiskan sisa waktu bersama. Menikahlah karena memang dorongan & kesiapan itu muncul dari diri sendiri. Menikahlah karena memang kita menjadi sempurna dengan pilihan itu. Menikahlah jika memang kita telah siap secara mental & fisik sehingga apapun kerikil atau badai yang nantinya bersimpangan jalan dengan pernikahan itu akan membuat kita mampu bergandengan tangan, memberikan dukungan untuk tetap tegar. Menikahlah jika hati kecilmu meyakinkan pilihan inilah yang terbaik. Yang terbaik akan selalu tersedia & datang tepat pada waktunya.

Terima kasih telah menjadi yang terbaik buat saya selama 9 tahun ini. Kamu tahu kamulah pilihan hati & hidup saya :)

THANK YOU, IT WOULD BE ENOUGH














I'm so blessed having a grand journey with an amazing people. Some of them were so unpredictable, the rest were so kind. Some of them are so unlikely, the most are so lovely. There is a word to describe its, most are indescribable. World as it is. Unfair enough, but this is it. Unfair is part of the universe, people. That's why "welcome to the real world" is so familiar quote ever. There are much unfair things around, depending on us. People come and go. Some stayed for seconds, others staying for life. Some came for minutes, others come forever. When people love us just saying thanks for the love. When people hate us, let them. We can't be able to force others always like us. We couldn't be able to make others love us for life. They have own choices. We have it, either. But the most important thing for me is whatever people treated me, i won't treat that way to others.

Thank you for being a very good people for me. I'm so blessed having a grand journey with an amazing people as you are....

SELAMAT JALAN


Pagi itu ketika ayah saya melepaskan nafas terakhirnya. Saya memutuskan untuk pulang kerumah & mempersiapkan segala sesuatunya. Cika, keponakan saya yang baru berusia 5 tahun merengek ingin ikut dengan saya. Dalam perjalanan ke mobil saya bicara dengannya sebagaimana orang dewasa berbicara. Menjelaskan padanya bahwa opanya sudah berada di surga saat ini. Opanya telah pulang kerumah yang sesungguhnya. Setibanya dimobil penjelasan ini terus mengalir. Saya ingin memastikan bahwa ia mengerti bahwa kematian bukanlah akhir dari kehidupan. Bahwa kematian adalah awal dari kehidupan bagi setiap orang yang percaya pada Yesus. Agama & kitab suci serta iman saya mengajarkan hal ini. Saya ingin menanamkan pemahaman yang baik tentang kematian untuk cika. Saya ingin dia tidak bersedih karena tidak bisa lagi menemukan opa nantinya. Saya katakan padanya bahwa saat ini sang opa telah berada dirumah Tuhan Yesus & sudah senang disana. Suatu hari nanti kita semua akan berkumpul kembali. Jadi tidak perlu bersedih, tidak perlu menangis. 

Kalimat sederhana yang saya ucapkan ternyata punya impact yang cukup besar padanya. Ketika dia melihat omanya menangis, cika menghampiri dan duduk disebelah omanya sambil berkata: "oma jangan sedih, oma jangan nangis. Kan sekarang opa sudah dirumah Tuhan Yesus. Cika aja gak nangis". Setelah pemakaman setiap kali melihat omanya duduk sendiri sedih dia selalu menghibur omanya dengan kalimat yang sama. Hari ini saya menemukan kalimat yang sama distatus BBMnya: "Opa sudah dirumah Tuhan Yesus". Tanamkanlah nilai-nilai ilahi & kebenaran maka generasi ini akan tumbuh menjadi generasi yang luar biasa. Generasi yang memiliki pola pikir yang baik.

Kematian bukan sesuatu yang perlu ditangisi secara berlebihan. Agama, kitab suci & iman saya mengajarkan bahwa kematian merupakan langkah awal memasuki kehidupan yang berikutnya. Kehidupan yang kekal. Bahwa kita sedang kembali kepada rumah yang sesungguhnya. Kematian itu buat saya hanya perpisahan antara dua dunia yang tidak bisa tertembus. Kematian itu buat saya merupakan berakhirnya perjalanan kehidupan fisik kita & bermulanya kehidupan kekal manusia. Menangis itu hal yang wajar selama kita masih manusia biasa. Namun menangisinya terus menerus itu yang tidak wajar. Saya percaya dengan kehidupan setelah kematian. Saya percaya bahwa Tuhan itu ada. Saya percaya bahwa perpisahan ini hanya bersifat sementara.

27 Februari 2014, jam: 05.10 WIB ayah saya telah dimuliakan Tuhan. Ayah saya telah kembali kerumah yang sesungguhnya. Ayah saya telah menempati kekekalannya. Untuk kita yang masih hidup, mari kita teruskan & lanjutkan hidup ini. Pertandingan yang harus kita selesaikan masih sangat panjang. 

"Selamat jalan kapten... Selamat menikmati kehidupan yang sesungguhnya. Tugas kapten sudah selesai. Selamat memasuki kehidupan yang kekal. Terima kasih telah menjadi ayah juara & terbaik sedunia. Kap, pasukan telah membawa kapten ke tempat peristirahatan terakhir dengan upacara militer".

Thank you for being a very good father to me. As you did, i will doing the best for taking care of our family well. Dad, you're a very good person, everyone tell me so.
 Welcome HOME dad :)

KEEP MOVING ON PURPOSE

We were created on purpose for a purpose. Each of us has a own destiny. There is a thirst and hunger in our heart that is real. Pay attention, people, to it. Be careful what you wish, what you think and what your respond. Many times, if we put wrong of them, they become our destroyer. The world is waiting for us to wake up to the person we are called 'to be'. This is the time to stop listening to the negative inner conversation that's causing us to play small. Just stay focus our mind on positive thoughts, possibilities and solutions that can move us forward. Tap into our creativity and determination and stay busy. Stay focused.

Life is in our side. The challenges that we are facing now are the only a test. If there is no test, there is no testimony. Keep moving. Cry if we must, but keep moving after it. Pray if everything depends upon God and work as if everything depends upon 'we' and 'us'. Keep moving. We were born to be happy, healthy and prosperous. There is a power in us that can't be denied. Get up people and keep moving.

Have a very wonderful weekend everyone. Let's we share our spirit, joyness and happiness to others.

OWN VOICE


Focus on where we are going not where we are. Speak life to our circumstances, situations and challenges. Hold the vision of brilliant future and what we're creating. Challenging circumstances will try to shape and mold us. Stand firm - we will come through this even stronger and more powerful than before. Dedicate our energy to doing positive things that our spirit, soul and mind has. Remember that we hold the key to shape our life and future. There is power in us to blaze a new trail and to pursue our special thing. 

Listen to our own voice, the one in our heart that is the keeper of our dreams. Never let someone convince that we can't do something, especially if they haven't done it. Take the time to find our own path and trust our inner voice. Know what's true for us.

Respect ourselves by limiting access to people who are negative and unhappy. Many times they project the anxiety and dissatisfaction with their own lives into our life. One negative comment can be more damaging to us than one positive comment. Own the responsibility for our life and journey. Give our self the gifts of experiences and relationships that strengthen our deepest convictions about dream and honor the calling on, sure, our life.

PERSPECTIVE


Put things into perspective. People who obsess about what others think tend to put 'issues' under the microscope and can't see the forest for the trees. People who don't obsess about what other people think tend to look at the big picture. You, yes you only get one chance at life, are you going to allow other people's thoughts to make it less enjoyable.

Be confident in yourself. What if we could eliminate the amount of times we second-guess ourselves? Well, you can. The trick, if you want to call it that, It is to simply be more confident in the decisions and actions you are taking.

RETHINK

Don't underestimate yourself. You're capable of more than can ever imagine. When life press in on you the hardest, that's when your breakthrough is near. Press on. Don't stop to think about the work you have to do. Just put yourself on auto-pilot. Hold yourself to a higher standard daily. Your family, friends and co-workers all look to you for their cues. Be mindful to lift the vibration in every room you enter. Treat yourself to a higher belief system. Trust and let go. Greatness is in your DNA. God don’t make junk. Each day you have a new chance to develop new ideas, reach for new goals and conquer new mountains. Chase down your dream like it’s the last bus of the night. Go get it! You have something special within you. Believe in yourself right now, even though it may be hard. You don’t have to be up, to look up. Don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed by darkness, surrounded by negativity, or give in to despair. None of these things improve your life. Do not give yourself permission to feel sorry for yourself, or give up your power, or giving up so quickly to something good.

Start right now to take massive action on your own behalf to move your life forward. You can do this, trust it. Keep your mind focused on the outcome you desire. It takes discipline of mind, heart and spirit to create your breakthrough. What you think about, you bring about. your circumstances and all of the challenges you're facing know this. Now it's time for you to believe it. Make it happen. You can do it. Sometimes when you have outgrown the situation in your life, and you're not aware or don't have the courage to move on, life will move on you. You may have been told that your company is going in another direction. You knew it was coming and you didn't prepare yourself. Now you're angry & feel you were wronged. You have to move on. Sometimes you feel your relationship of many years may have ended & you were devastated, confused and shocked. You’re in pain; feel disillusioned; full of despair. However, it’s time to move on. Your mind might be reeling. Your heart probably feels like it’s been ripped out and handed to you on a platter. As hard as it will be, you must shake it off and move on. Heyyy people ‘moving on’ doesn't mean that you give up. Moving on means that no job, relationship, house, or any other thing is worth your sanity. Don’t focus on the things that you've lost. You can always get these back and much more. Focus your mind. Get still. Go within. Tap into your greatness and move on. You deserve having better life, better relationship, better feeling and so on and so forth.

You can start over again. Don't even think of quitting now. It's easy to replay in your mind how things didn't work, how much you lost, what you're going through, and how angry you are. There's no amount of conversation or magic that's going to wipe the slate clean. You're wasting valuable time and energy that could be used to regain a new normal and start another version of your life. Even though you're hurt and you may be feeling down, just stop kicking yourself, people. Face what has happened and make the decision to start over again. This life and everybody should be happy on their decision and ways, either you. In life, friendships change, ‘divorces’ of something happen. People move on and others die. Money and jobs will come and go. Live long enough and your health and body will change. It goes with the territory of being human. The fact that you’re still here gives you an advantage. Don’t look back. Look straight ahead. Your right way is in front of you not behind you. Decide to use all of your knowledge, skills, experiences, as well as your life lessons from your mistakes, defeats and setbacks, to start over again. Life changes. You may not have the same life as before, but you can still enjoy your new life, your NOW life.

Focus your energy on the things that really matter. There will always be distractions that will keep you from achieving your goals. Don't give in to them. How have you increased your skills, knowledge and abilities determining your success. Do you really expect to be successful given how you are using the majority of your time, resources and skills? Are you spending time with people who can enhance and enrich your life? What are you doing to take your life to the next level? Will your current efforts make the next few days even more successful than what you just experienced? Be honest with your assessment. Don't play games with yourself. Remember, if you don't have an agenda for your life, you are a part of someone else's agenda. Go all out. Decide to live a bigger life. Get outside your box and push yourself beyond your comfort zone to explore the unknown aspects of you. Choose to conquer your fears, make your life more fulfilling and achieve your dreams. You may need to let go of negative people and habits that no longer fit into who you are or rethink key relationships. Surround yourself with people that you can learn from and grow with. Live with a spirit of possibility. Make your move NOW to create your greatest life. Give yourself a break. It is easy to stress out over a lack of productivity, or fail to turn off your ‘work’ brain. This weekend, take time to re-energize, but don’t forget to keep your mind open. When you are open to it, you can find inspiration in the most surprising places. Wherever you are, enjoy, and take advantage of the days granted to you. Know that you are a part of this world because you have something to offer. If you know what that is, be thankful and generous. If not, it’s time to discover your talents and share your gifts. You have something special to show up to the world. 

Happy New Year everyone. May God bless us.

SUCCESS AND EFFORT

181292690 Overcoming fear is essential to your success. The future belongs to the risk-takers, not the security seekers. Life is perverse in the sense that, the more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire. What have you always wanted to do, but have been afraid to attempt? Don’t be afraid to fail but be afraid not to try. Success & effort working in the same level. The more you put hardest in your effort the more you close to the success. Remember success is only for those who is ‘living in’ not ‘living out’. Don't stop now cause your breakthrough is just right around the corner. The last mile is often the longest one then keep moving forward, look for ways to pull ahead and win. Someone is about to step in and give you a break. Continue to believe in miracles and work to bring about a victory. Strengthen your faith to believe that anything is possible in every aspects in your life: relationships, career, health or finances. Your words create your world, so affirm yourself daily. Monitor your thoughts. What you think about will bring you about. Keep your mind focused on your goal. Never give up. Because, you have something special. Most people have gone as far as they want to go and they are satisfied with living a small life. But that's not you. Make up your mind to break loose and live the life you were meant to live, fueled by your passion, skills and determination. Continue to hold the vision of what you want for your life and live from your dream. Start to break the shackles of fear, procrastination and despair. Tap into your faith, relentless action and inspiration to create your greatest life. Your life matters in the greater scheme of things. You were put here to make a difference and create something original. Design a legacy worthy of your greatest self. Stay on the path and you will see something special happen.

Live your life from a place of power. Remind yourself daily, regardless of what you're facing moment to moment, that you are stronger than anything you are going through, facing, or have to handle. Refuse to operate at the level of the problems or challenges that you're facing!! Project yourself in the future, and see yourself victorious as a person who has resolved, completed and achieved your goals. Just keep your head up and your spirit strong, and continue to develop an achievement driven mindset. Tell yourself that you're going to operate at the top of your game. Apply your best thinking to the issues before you, and bulldoze your way to the top. It’s time. It’s time for you to make a tough decision. Just take one step first, began to take a deep breath. Get still. Visualize the worst case scenario. After doing that, see your self having made the decision, stepping into your personal power, becoming more courageous and stronger. It’s time buddy, Your mental well being health and happiness, off course, are dependent upon you making this decision. If you don’t do it now, you will look at yourself one day and say “Why did I waste so much valuable time?” If you don’t do it now, you will regret it, and this situation will continue to take a toll on you mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically!

It’s been said that people delay making tough decisions, not because they don’t know what to do. But they really know what to do, but lack the courage and will to deal with the emotional consequences. You can do this, see it done. You are now operating from a higher place of integrity and personal power and going to the next level in your life. You deserve for the best. Be your own advocate. If you have a dream, you must be its primary cheerleader. While the support of others is helpful, appreciated and sought after, you must first believe in your goal and then encourage others to follow. If you're feeling apprehensive or unsure of your strengths and capabilities, then others will feed off of your negative self-thought. Do what you can to reassure yourself that you are talented, worthy, and have something of value to create and share. Once you believe this, you'll do more than convince others of your dream, you'll be able to help family, friends, and peers recognize the same heart and strength in themselves. Encourage yourself and feed others with your positive spirit and energy. Because everyone has Greatness within them, but first they must refuse to live a defeated life. You were born to do great things. Success can be yours. Regardless of your present situation or circumstances. Tap into the discipline, the perseverance and the mindset of determination to create a new future for yourself. Affirm to yourself that no excuse is acceptable to keep you from achieving your goal. And last but not least, surround yourself with top achievers and with people who are focused and hungry to accomplish more... to experience more and to do more with their lives. Say to yourself, everyday as you greet each new day. I have Greatness within me and you guys either. Have a very nice weekend everyone. You and i deserve to the best.
