Maaf....
Saat emosi bergolak dijiwa
Kadang lidah cepat menutur
Hati pantas menghukum
Segalanya ku luah
Melahirkan segala ketidakpuasan
Hari ini bila ku duduk dan merenung kembali
Akan ketelanjuran semalam
Ternyata aku melampaui batas
Maafkan ku wahai teman
Atas kekhilafan diri

Only You In My Heart
Only You in my heart
Only You loving me
Only You lift me up
Above the clouds where I can see
Let all things be as You would have them
Nothing more as it seems
Remembering the long-forgotten
A breath within the silence
A whisper of love in an ocean of peace
I ask only this of You
To rest forever in Your Endless Grace
Only You in my Heart …
You come to me softly
A star in my dreams
Never asking for more than I have
You give me everything
The sweetness of Your light
Holiness sublime
Becoming You in All of Me
One Love entwined
Only You in my heart …
Buat Insan Yang Diuji....
Ya Allah, dunia yang Engkau hamparkan ini indah, tetapi durinya sering menusuk. Nikmat yang Kau berikan takkan dapat untukku menghitungnya. Tetapi ya Allah, hambaMu ini sering alpa dan lena dek buaian mimpi yang tak sudah. Ya Allah, ujian yang Engkau berikan terasa begitu memeritkan, kadangkala ianya menguji kesabaran dan keimananku yang terkadang nipis, senipis kulit bawang. Ya Allah, jika ini ujian yang pantas untukku lalui, bantulah aku. Agar aku tidak tersasar dari jalanMu. Agar aku bisa bersyukur dengan ujianMu ini ya Allah.Buat insan yang diuji, bersabarlah, sesungguhnya Allah bersama-sama kamu. Percayalah, Allah mendengar segala tangisan dan kesedihanmu itu. Ingatlah ujian Allah ini bukan satu penyiksaan, tetapi hakikatnya engkaulah insan yang terpilih. Engkaulah insan yang layak menerima rahmat dan keredhaanNya, sekiranya engkau sabar dan redha.
20 HOW WAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR LIFE
How do you define a successful life? Is it by how much money or stuff you have amassed, or is it by the legacy you leave behind? All too often we equate a successful life with material possessions. Yet, there are millions of people out there who lead successful, fulfilled lives who may be of modest means. They may not be rich in the financial sense, but they are rich in life and values.So what are the things we should strive for to make our lives successful and have a positive impact on those around us? Here is a list of traits that I think defines what true success in life is all about. Does your list differ?Sincerity. Be sincere in your actions. Don’t try to deceive or impress others. Be yourself, and do what you feel is right based on your values and beliefs. You will be surprised at how people accept you when you stop trying to be someone you aren’t.Unfeigned. Be genuine in what you do; your actions speak louder than your words. Don’t falsify or embellish events that may have happened. Don’t say one thing and do the other.Wholehearted. Be enthusiastic about what you do. Show it. Be committed to life and everything that you set out to accomplish in life. Devote yourself to your family, friends, and community and commit yourself to being the best father, husband, wife, mother, friend, and neighbor you can be.Honest. Be honest in your dealings with yourself and with others. When others interact with you, let them see someone who is reputable, respectable and genuine. Do what you say you will do and never use fraud or deception to get ahead in life. Let ethics, morals, and honor be your compass.Heartfelt. When you do something for someone, or they do something for you, let your thanks and emotion be openly and outwardly expressed towards them.Hearty. Be someone who displays an honest, warm, and exuberant personality to those around them. Let your feelings show and let them be genuine when they do.Humility. Don’t lead a life thinking you are better than others or are superior to those around you. Modesty and humbleness will leave a far more ever lasting impact on people than trying to show off.Personal integrity. Always follow your heartfelt values, and never let a situation or anyone steer you away from doing what you know is right. Be someone that people can look up to and respect and not someone who trades his or her moral values for material gains in life.Incorruptibility. Let it be known that you stand firm for what you believe in and that your morals, values and actions are not for sale. Don’t let outside forces corrupt the person you are.Sound. Show good judgment and sense in life. Don’t let prejudices or emotions cloud your judgment.Whole. Be focused on what you want to achieve in life. Give everyone you interact with your complete and undivided attention.Courtesy. Practice good manners even though others around you may not.Civility. Graciousness and respect go a long way in life. What is more, they are viral – when people see you doing it they are more apt to practice civility themselves. Be kind to others and extend courtesy towards them. Don’t interrupt people when they speak and don’t dominate the conversation.Wisdom. Gain from the wisdom that is inside you. Understand the inner qualities of people and learn how to understand situations that might be different than we are used to.Charity. Practice kind, gentle, and compassionate treatment of others – especially those who may be undeserving. Learn to extend a hand to help others, even though they themselves may not have helped you.Empathy. Be aware that each person is different and may have different values and beliefs than those that you hold. Be understanding of the feelings and thoughts of others without having to be told or reminded of them.Sympathy. Share your feelings with others and understand the emotional situations that people go through. Put yourself in their shoes.Compassion. When someone is in distress, reach out with a genuine interest in helping alleviate their suffering.Altruism. Think of others without thinking of yourself. Do good things for people without expecting something in return for yourself.Magnanimous. Be generous in life. Give of your time, money and wisdom. Share with others so they can see the true joy and adventures of life themselves.There are the qualities I think helps lead a person to life a successful life. Clearly everyone's views will differ, as they should. What are some qualities that you think define success in life?
HOW TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE
I want to tell you a little story.There once was a girl with shiny eyes, wit and a great sense of justice for she had been mistreated for most of her life.The hurt, the anger, the disappointment in the world - she tried to hide it all away.But the older the girl got, the more difficult it became.The more silent she became, the more extreme her rage got.Finally, she stood still, neither moving forward nor backward.She stood and stood and stood and looked as people kept passing by, not looking, not noticing for all of them had an agenda, a life.Many years later, more tormented than ever, the girl, now grown into a woman, finally woke up.Time stopped standing still, and she placed one foot in front of the other.And slowly, very slowly, she learned to let go of her hurt and anger, forgive and take her life into her own hands.That little girl, if you haven't guessed so already (and you all have, I am sure), was me.I cannot even begin to describe how long I played the blame game, how long I made my brother responsible for everything that was going wrong in my life.And while it is true that he has done an incredible amount of damage to my body and my soul...... I shouldn't have held on to the past so very long.We all have our cross to bear.Nobody goes through life without getting some scars, without experiencing some disappointments, hurt feelings or more. But it is up to us to stop adopting the victim mentality and instead take responsibility for our life.If you are dreaming of getting a promotion, then think about how you can make yourself more useful in the coming months.What training do you need to get more qualified? Which mentor could you consult for some advice? Which personal connections could you cultivate that might improve your chances of getting a better position?Your boss is not responsible for your career.It's up to you to do the work.If you'd like to leave your past behind and finally free yourself from it, you will have to work on yourself every single day.Are you ready to move to a different part of your country or even to a different continent like I did?Are you willing to start all over again?Are you ready to let go of whatever it is you are clinging to?Are you dedicated enough to make this effort?Have you been let go and can't stop blaming all your current problems on your former employer?Wake up, refresh your mind and get creative.Don't dwell on what could or couldn't have been but take action right here and right now.Your boss won't benefit from you blaming him or her for what has happened to you. Instead, your life will be even worse because you can't move on.Are you constantly eating junk food and blame it on all the problems you face in your life? Are you short of breath whenever you move but don't do anything against it?You know you are headed down a dangerous path but can't seem to find the help you need in order to get back on track.There is always a possibility to get back into a workout routine and to eat more consciously. But if you keep finding excuses, if you keep postponing this possibility until tomorrow, your health and your life will deteriorate.The bitter truth - and the awesome opportunity it gives you - is that nobody will do your work or live your life. It's in your own hands to create your life's best outcome, to build the career you desire, to have the relationships you value and to be your best you.You have the power to achieve these goals.You just have to wake up, take the necessary steps and then rock the world.Whatever responsibility it is you are not accepting, here are four easy ways to help you embrace it:Identify your areas of senseless blame. Be very honest and stop deluding yourself. This only makes your situation worse.Brainstorm about possible solutions. Write down every idea coming to your mind that might help you to move forward with your life. Just let your thoughts flow and don't judge your ideas right away. You can edit them later.Create an action plan. Now that you have gathered some ideas, it should be manageable to devise actions to get you out of your situation.Implement the plan. Don't stop after you've written down your action steps but implement them. Do the actual work to finally start moving forward again.Take responsibility for your problems and your past, even if they were not your fault.
