<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Having a cup of tea in the
morning and seeing the beauty of blooming flowers were really refreshing. The
butterflies danced around me, the birds sang beautifully and the wind blew
slowly. All of these made the symphony of nature and my senses were pampered
with the beauty of nature. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Experiencing all of those things
made me realize how I forgot to enjoy the life. Targets, planning, deadline, responsibilities
and so on have filled in my life and looked like so real so that I forgot that
I am not those targets, planning, etc. I have identified myself into my role so deeply,
so that I forgot that no matter what role I play, it’s just a temporary role
and it’s not mine at all. I played my role as best as I can, but when everybody
around me didn’t play as best as I do, I became so upset. I was also easily irritated
when my role was being bothered by the external conditions such as the presence
and moods of everybody around me, the weather which may change suddenly, the
television program which sometimes provide uneducated program and the internal
conditions such as physical illness, fluctuated moods along the day. Why did I
become so fragile? Where did my all my power go?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #351c75; text-align: justify;">
This morning, getting a chance to
be here, to be present at the moment when I was enjoying the beauty of
everything surrounds me made me feel that I found my treasure back which has
been lost in the last few years. I am glad to find it cause I know that I am
back on track and I know that I can find my way back home to the nature of my
self to become peace, free from attachment in my role, and powerful. <br />

Dear Readers, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The first of all I would like to
wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014. May the beauty of the day and the brightness of
the light will always fill in your heart in whatever you do and wherever you
are. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I truly appreciate for your
continuity to read this blog although I have been off from writing on this blog
for almost 2 years. Thank you also for your inputs, comments, supports and
contribution which have been given to this blog. I am so happy to response to
your enthusiasm to this blog. Also, as you suggested, I will keep updating and
improving this blog, so it will come to you in the beautiful touch and it will
become more interesting to read. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
It has been a long time I did not
write for this blog. After wandering in many cities around the world, my journey of life has
brought me back to my hometown, Jogja, Indonesia. Living back in the village, in
which I am surrounded by the people with their simplicities, the beautiful views of mount Merapi and the rice field, these have provided
me with the sense of natural life and brought my soul back to the nature of
myself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I experienced a lot of things in
the last few years, 2 flip sides of life, up and down moments: such as being bounded
very close to my attachment, experiencing changes of the situations and
conditions, experiencing physical illness and emotional suffering, getting lost
in the middle of my journey of life, searching for the light,
standing up and moving forward to the new way, and learning from all of those moments. It is interested to share to all of you, how I learn to get up
from the unpredictable situations, to deal with all of the
feelings, and to find the new equilibrium. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
What I learned from this
experience is the pathways of life are not always straight, but also up and down,
sometimes it is twisted with turn around, even sometimes we may find the dead-end road. But, regardless what kind of ways that we have to face, the
keys to pass through the various conditions of the ways are, keeping the hope, being grateful,
and adapting to the changes. In addition, my practice of meditation also has
helped me to remain calm, so that I can find the center of myself again and re-connect
to the universe to discover the way out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Well, I also hope that you can
take a lot of lessons from your life story. It doesn’t matter whether you like
it or not, the most important thing is it shares values to develop your soul to
become you right now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Enjoy to read this blog and wish
you have a “better” you.</div>

I thought yoga was only about exercising of our body, which is as same as any other sports such as doing aerobic, jogging, Pilates etc. So, it’s only a kind of body movement from one asana (posture) to another asana and intended to stretch all part of my body. I thought it’s just need a discipline to be able to do yoga and to master all of the asana (s). But, when I did yoga in this way, I felt it’s just a static movement. I let my mind led me to move from one asana to another asana. Even sometimes when I did some asana(s), my mind was still wandering around thinking about something else. So often I felt proud when I was able to do some of the difficult asana(s). But, I was doing these asana (s) with coercion, trying to push the capacity of my body into the limit. Sometimes my body followed my mind, so that they can perform the asana(s) as I want. But, sometimes my body was so stubborn, so that I found it’s really difficult to perform only one asana correctly. In this way, I still saw yoga as a piece of picture. I treated my mind and body as the different entities which have no connection in doing yoga. That’s why what I got from yoga was only exercising and there was no difference with any other exercises. At the end of my yoga practice, what I got was only sweating. I could not get the optimum benefit of doing yoga. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the middle of my journey to learn about yoga, especially after I learnt about meditation and how to do the correct breathing, my understanding of yoga was improved. I started to understand that when we applied the correct breathing in doing an asana, the effectiveness of this asana was improved. Because the key of doing an asana is not on forcing the capacity of our body, but on letting the breath leading our body to perform an asana. That’s why the first thing to do before doing yoga is breathing, trying to calm down our mind and our physical body, in order to get the right tone before entering to the real orchestra. So, when I practiced to do yoga in this way, I combined the asana (s) and the correct breathing. Breathing helps me to get some energy to perform the correct asana. Breathing also helps me to get some space to move between asana. Furthermore, breathing helps me to control my emotions, my mind, and my body. When I breathe in a hurry, my mind gets restless and uncontrollable. As a result, all of the movement and asana become static and unstructured. On the other hand, when I breathe slowly and gently, my mind becomes more relax, and my emotion gets calm down, so my body becomes more cooperative to follow the tone of my breath. Having done yoga in this way, the effectiveness of each asana is improved because it’s energized and strengthened by every breath that I take. Of course, my health condition also improved significantly. For instances, my blood circulation became more fluently, my digestion system became stronger and therefore, my immunity system also improved. However, in overall, I still feel incompleteness, because what I got was only some improvement of my health condition, but I still felt there was no spiritual progress that I achieved in this way. I still easily get stress and being impatience in life. I felt that I only practiced yoga, without really understanding the true meaning of doing yoga.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Later on, when my meditation practice was improved, my understanding of the whole life got better and became more complete. I was able to be more focus not only in doing one activity, but also in my whole life. As a result, my understanding of yoga was also increased. I see yoga is not as a piece of puzzles anymore but as the whole picture. I found that yoga is not only a static movement anymore. It’s the way to unite our mind, body, and soul through breathing and doing the asana(s). Yoga has an important role because it’s a preparation to the higher union with the ONE through meditation. It’s the beginning of a spiritual journey which is advanced through meditation. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Through yoga, our body is prepared to be more relax and our mind to be more calm, so that they will be ready to move to the next step - meditation. Therefore, it’s really challenging for doing yoga in a right way, because it needs a total focus of our mind, body and soul. Through yoga I learn to develop the ability to listen and to communicate with my body. Through yoga I learn to develop cooperation with my body instead of coercion. Through yoga I learn to develop trust with my body instead of order. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Arriving at this point, my purpose of doing the asana was changing. In the beginning I learned yoga; I used to do as many asana (s) as I can. But now, I focus on my attention and my breath in doing each asana correctly. So, I focus on the quality instead of the quantity. Through these ways, I learn to listen when my body talks. I learn to feel when my body moves. I learn to focus on capturing the signing of my body. When my body needs rest, I follow my body to rest. When my body is ready to move to the next stage, I give a chance to move to the next stage. My body is not just a vehicle of my soul which is controlled by my mind anymore, but I develop a very intimate cooperation with my body so that it flows synergistically with my mind and my soul.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">To be able to do all of those things correctly, of course I have to develop not only the discipline of doing yoga, but also I have to make some correction of my characters. The most important thing that I learn from yoga is I learn to be more patience. It is because the signing from our body is so subtle, therefore it’s difficult to be caught without paying a full attention to it. It’s not a kind of voice which can be easily heard through our ears or seen through our eyes. My mind, my feeling, my attention, and my breath have to be in harmony and fully focus to be able to hear the signing of my body. If I become impatience, what I hear is nothing. My body doesn’t want to speak to me if I become restless. Therefore, I have to be more patience in listening and searching the voice of my body. But once I find the right tone to come in, my body will automatically dance in harmony and recognize the right time to move from one into another stage. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The second thing that I learnt from yoga is it helps me to raise my consciousness. Yoga helps me to be in the state of mindfulness. It’s because to be able to hear all of those signing from the bone, muscles, neurons, etc, I have to be totally present and focus on each breath and asana. I have to do the conscious breathing and also to be really aware for any subtle voice or sign which appears, such as the beat of my heart, the flow of my blood, the stretch of my muscles. My mind could not wander around anymore, because I have to focus of my attention. In this way, I can optimize my feeling to capture the subtle voice from each part of my body. Thus, yoga helps me to develop the sensitivity of my feeling. In addition, when I do the conscious breathing and focus my attention to feel each part of my body, all of the emotional state that I had during that time (whether it’s good feeling or bad emotion) is suddenly disappeared and becomes unimportant anymore. That’s because I focus my mind and my feeling on the present time, the present moment, which is the yoga itself.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">To conclude, based on my progress and experience of practicing yoga and meditation, I found there is a link between an understanding of spirituality, the quality of practicing yoga and meditation and the quality of our life. Therefore, if we want to get the optimum benefits of yoga, it’s not enough if we just only practice yoga as the way to exercise every day. The most important thing in practicing yoga is we have to be totally present and focus. Do yoga with our heart, not our mind. Try to understand our body and give some space to our body to speak. We don’t have to force our body to master all of the asana at once time. But rather, do each asana correctly and continuously. Our body will send the right signal whenever it is ready to move to the next stage. Conscious breathing will help us to improve the quality of our asana. If we are able to practice yoga in this way, we will find not only our physical and emotional health will improve, but also our spiritual progress will be developed through the improvement of our characters and our ways to see the life. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Enjoy your journey to yoga and I wish you discover your meaningful moments !!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
In every step of our life, we have to face so many choices. <br />
These choices challenge us to take a decision.<br />
Having considered the choices that we have, sometimes we become panic and confuse. <br />
Because when we try to imagine the consequences of every choice, sometimes it manifests into a good solution, or an ordinary thing, or even the worst one. <br />
<br />
So often, these choices and consequences make us confusing in taking a decision. <br />
However, there is one important question that we can keep in mind when we make a decision. This question will help us to stay on track: “What is the purpose of our life?” <br />
The main purpose of our life will guide our journey of life. <br />
<br />
Of course, there are so many considerations will always come into our mind when we were making a decision such as: the society values, a realistic choice, a cost and benefit analysis, etc. <br />
But then, a question comes up whether we are ready to become an “object” of our desire?<br />
<br />
Sometimes, we just need to “let it flow”.<br />
Sometimes, the most important thing is not on the decision itself, but on how do we responsible to every decision that we take and how do we enjoy each moment in our choice. <br />
So that no matter what a decision that we take, we will find the true value of our life. <br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>A year has changed. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Leaving us so many stories behind. </em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Sometimes we call this story as “a good memory”, <br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>It is such a time when we like to play our favorite music on our CD player. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>We replay it again and again, till satisfying our needs. </em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>But, sometimes we also find “a bad story”, </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>so that we don’t want to keep it in our memory.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>If possible, we may want to delete it in our mind. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Or we may pretend that those moments have never happened in our life.</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Indeed, there is no such a good or bad story. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>When the rain drops, </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Some people call it “a disaster”, </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Because it may cause flood. </em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Again, there is no such a good or bad story.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>It is only a matter of our way of seeing.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>If we want to see it as a good thing, then a good story will manifest. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>But if we want to see it as a bad thing, then a bad moment will appear. </em></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><em>Have you ever entered into a labyrinth? Labyrinth is a maze with an intricate structure of interconnecting passages, but it seems does not have an entrance and exit doors, so that will be very difficult to find a way out. A labyrinth actually has both entrance and exit doors, however those are hidden in the alley.Therefore, when we enter into a labyrinth, we often find the wrong direction and it forces us to try it again and again. The more we feel panic, the more we find difficulties to get a way out of a labyrinth. We will only go around and spin in a labyrinth, because we feel trapped and we can not see the way out.</em><br />
Sometimes in life, we often encounter a complex problem in which we feel that it is really hard to find a way out. It is such an analogy of entering into a labyrinth.<br />
<br />
There are several possible causes. Our unrealistic perspective, our mind which is dominated by our ego, our impatience to make efforts and to wait for a result, our limited time, the conflict of interests of everybody around us and there are many other reasons that make us feel stuck and be a victim of the situation.<br />
<br />
When we are in such condition, there are several tips that I could share to overcome this situation:<br />
<br />
First, acknowledge that indeed we have a problem. We may cry, shout, share it to other people or compensate it to other things. However, we should not run away from the reality. Embrace and face the problem. Because no matter how fast we run out of the problem, we still have to face similar problem at another time. If we ignore to settle the problem when it comes, sometimes the impact of the problem could be more complicated in the future. Therefore, keep in mind that actually a problem is not a bad thing, because it serves as a way of reflection or "homework" to correct our inappropriate attitude in order to be more mature in life.<br />
<br />
Second, calmness or tranquility is the second key word. A problem will not be solved only because we force to solve it. The more we become panic and impatience, the more our mind become overloaded, distracted and exhausted. Providing the opportunity for resting our mind, such as doing meditation, relaxation or praying; our mind will recover from its exhaustion and will be ready to provide a way out.When we are at the state of peace, we listen with attention and totally present, therefore it opens many possibilities of solutions.<br />
<br />
Third, be grateful.Gratitude is appreciation for everything (place, people, life, thing) surrounds us. Through gratitude we learn to appreciate everything and to see it with the different eyes. Therefore, gratitude is a key to boundless opportunity when we get caught in our limited certainty, because through seeing with different eyes and appreciation, we will find the real values of everything surrounds us and these will give us an opportunity to see many possible ways out of problem.<br />
<br />
Fourth, sometimes we just need a problem to be solved by its time. Do we realize that so far we have developed a habit of wanting everything right now, at this moment and not a second later? Everything requires efforts. In this case, patience is the next keyword, because patience taught us to learn and to wait. Furthermore, patience will help us to analyze the problems step by step and to set up a priority scale of the things that we have to do.<br />
<br />
Fifth, in setting up a priority scale, try to give priority to settle the main source of problem, not just the symptoms of problem. The difference of solving the main problem and the symptom is solving the main problem will have a long term and bigger impacts. But, it requires more efforts and more patience. If we are impatience and try to find an "instant solution", it will be effective only for short term. A peaceful mind will help to distinguish the main problem and the symptoms, because through peace we learn to settle our ego and to see the problem as it is.<br />
<br />
Sixth, after finding a priority scale of the problem, then set up a planning and focus to solve them one by one. Focus means to direct our attention, to optimize our resources (energy, money, attention, and strategy) and to make our best efforts to settle the problem. If we focus to handle our problem seriously and persistently, the universe will open the door for a lot of solutions and help us to settle the rest of our problem.<br />
<br />
The last but not least, if we have done our best, but then everything is happened not according to what we want. Just let it and follow the flow. Sometimes the universe has a better and more comprehensive planning than our own planning. Our narrow way of thinking sometimes is not always in line with what the universe designs for us. Following the flow means that we open for any possibility not only in our planning but also in our implementation. This will teach us to become more flexible for accepting any opportunity in life. As far as we could understand what the universe intends to us, just follow it, and it will provide the best and the most appropriate solution for us, no matter what it is.<br />
<br />
So, if you encounter a complex and difficult problem in life, you don't have to be panic. Because indeed there are many solutions available there. Sometimes we could not see these solutions because our ego is too dominant and our way of seeing is too narrow. Therefore, through a peaceful mind, we will be able to see a lot of possibilities and to find a way out. Good Luck !<br />

<div align="justify">I visited Taman Mini Indonesia Indah last week for refreshing. It’s nice, because it has been around 15 years I did not visit there. It was such a journey of tracing back to my childhood, at the time when I started to learn about diversity and to understand that there were a lot of different cultures in Indonesia. <br />
<br />
Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) is also known as a Beautiful Miniature Indonesia Park. It is a recreational area located in East Jakarta, where we can see the beauty of cultural diversity representing through various traditional houses, architectures, clothes, and dances of almost all provinces in Indonesia. It’s beautiful, not only because of those various attractions, but also the unique atmosphere. There are several other interesting objects which we can see in TMII such as museums, planting gardens, swimming pool, bird park, and many things.<br />
<br />
But, among all of those visiting points, the most interesting aspect for me is when I stopped by at several religious houses which were build in the same area and close to each other, such as a Mosque for Moslem, a Church for Catholic, a Church for Protestant, a Vihara for Buddhist and a Pura for Hindus. These religious houses are not only replica, but also real. It means these can be utilized for praying and conducting various religious services and activities. I feel grateful to see that in fact we can stay close to each other in harmony by respecting the differences of others.<br />
<br />
Talking about the diversity, there are a lot of diversities in our life such as nationality, culture, religion, political party, ideology, etc. For me, the diversity is something unique that could enrich our live. But for some people, sometimes it is difficult to accept the diversity around us and even they often see it as a problem. For example, the fighting between different religious followers, the unfair competition between different political parties to win for the election, the battle between different nations and there are many things.<br />
<br />
In fact, every body is born as a unique creation; it means no one is designed in the same condition. Indeed this diversity has so many benefits, such as it could expand our view, because we could get the opportunity to know that there is another side of life, so that we can learn from others. It will enlarge our horizon and improve our way of thinking to see the thing or a problem as a whole. It will also enhance our creativity, because through diversity we could see the various kinds of solutions which may come from other people with different backgrounds.<br />
<br />
Understanding those benefits of diversity, I really wish that no matter what background we have, which country we came, what religion we follow, what political party we choose and so on, it would be nice if we can stay close to each other in harmony, so that this diversity will not threat our life, but it could enrich and complete our life. <br />

<div align="justify">Beberapa hari yang lalu kebetulan saya bertemu seorang teman di kantornya yang eksklusif di kawasan Sudirman, Jakarta <em>and we had a conversation about life</em>. Sebut saja nama teman saya itu “Mr Executive” karena dia seorang executive director yang bisa dibilang mapan, dengan jabatan yang tinggi di sebuah perusahaan multinational. Usianya masih terbilang muda. Namun demikian, segala fasilitas materi sudah berhasil dia gapai. Dari mulai rumah yang indah di kawasan elit, mobil kantor dan mobil pribadi yang siap membawa dia dan keluarganya ke mana saja, dan <em>gadget</em> terbaru yang siap membantu semua aktifitasnya. Pendidikan dan posisi yang tinggi pun sudah berhasil dia raih. Bahkan berkali-kali dia meraih penghargaan dari dalam dan luar perusahaan tempat dia bekerja yang berbuah kenaikan gaji atau <em>reward</em> jalan-jalan ke luar negeri.<br />
<br />
Tapi lucunya, ketika itu dia mengungkapkan kepada saya bahwa dia masih belum bahagia atas semua pencapaian itu. Dia mengatakan bahwa dia belum memiliki ini dan itu. Dia juga menceritakan bahwa ada beberapa teman satu angkatan waktu kuliahnya dia dulu sudah memiliki pencapaian materi yang jauh di atas dia. Di sela-sela pembicaraan, dia bahkan mengeluh berbagai hal yang tidak menyenangkan yang dia rasakan selama bekerja di perusahaan tersebut. Ketika saya tanya bagaimana definisi kebahagiaan menurut dia. Dia menuturkan bahwa “kebahagiaan adalah apabila kita bisa mendapatkan apa yang kita inginkan seperti posisi, gaji, pengakuan, fasilitas materi dan sebagainya”.<br />
<br />
Saya jadi termenung kemudian. Ada pertanyaan mendasar yang terlintas dalam benak saya “Sedangkal itukah makna kebahagiaan?”. Kalau kebahagiaan identik dengan pencapaian keinginan atau materi, maka saya rasa hanya orang–orang tertentu saja yang akan mampu mencapainya. Kalau kebahagiaan selalu diperbandingkan dengan orang lain, maka mungkin “rumput tetangga akan selalu lebih hijau dari rumput di rumah sendiri”. Kalau kebahagiaan adalah suatu tujuan, maka pasti akan sangat sulitlah untuk mencapainya, karena tujuan itu sendiri sifatnya relatif, yang bisa berubah pada saat kita sudah mencapainya. Tetapi apakah makna kebahagiaan memang hanya sedemikian?<br />
<br />
Lalu muncul pertanyaan lain dalam pikiran saya : bagaimana dengan seorang yang kebetulan dilahirkan dalam kondisi yang tidak mampu secara materi atau memiliki kekurangan secara fisik? Apakah mereka lantas tidak layak untuk mencapai kebahagiaan seperti definisi yang dituturkan oleh teman saya Si Mr. Executive itu.<br />
<br />
Beberapa hari kemudian, saya juga sempat bertemu dengan seorang teman yang lain. Sebut saja namanya “Mr Simple”. Dia berprofesi seorang cleaning service di salah sebuah perusahaan. Usianya bisa dibilang tidak lagi muda, karena rambutnya yang nyaris putih semua. Tetapi raut wajahnya yang teduh dan senyum selalu terpancar di mukanya membuat saya selalu asyik bila ngobrol dengannya. Saya bertemu dengan teman saya tersebut di halaman kantornya yang rindang, sehabis dia selesai menyapu dedaunan yang jatuh berserakan di tanah. Saya mengobrol santai dengannya di suasana sore yang cerah itu. Ketika saya bercerita tentang perjuangan saya untuk bisa <em>survive</em> hidup di luar negeri. Dengan arifnya dia bilang kepada saya tanpa meninggalkan logat jawanya yang kental “<em>Sampunlah mboten sah dipun penggalih, urip puniko njih mekaten, dipun sekecakaken kemawon sak wontenipun, mangkih lak njur kepenak”</em> (Sudahlah, tidak usah dipikirkan, hidup itu ya memang begitu, dinikmati saja apa adanya, nanti kan enak menjalaninya).<br />
<br />
Saya tercekat mencermati kalimatnya yang sederhana, tetapi cukup dalam maknanya. Kemudian, saya bertanya lebih jauh mengenai apa makna kebahagiaan untuknya. Dengan santainya dia menjawab “Ya seperti ini, selesai menyapu saya duduk di bawah pohon yang rindang, merasakan angin sepoi-sepoi, sambil menikmati secangkir kopi yang dipesan dari warung tegal di sebelah kantor”. Saya seperti tersentak tersadarkan diri mendengar penjelasannya. Saya yang sudah melanglang buana ke sana kemari, ternyata belum bisa memahami arti kebahagiaan yang ternyata sangat sederhana seperti yang dituturkan oleh Mr. Simple.<br />
<br />
Saya lalu berpikir : mengapa kita harus menunggu untuk mencapai sebuah kebahagiaan? Kebahagiaan bukanlah tujuan seperti kata teman saya si Mr. Executive itu<strong>.</strong> <strong>Kebahagiaan adalah jalan menuju apapun tujuan kita. Kebahagiaan ada di mana-mana di sekitar kita dan kita tidak perlu repot mencarinya. Yang kita perlukan hanyalah satu ‘merasa bahagia’ dengan apapun kondisi kita. Karena sangat simplenya makna kebahagiaan itu, sehingga otak kita yang terbiasa kita gunakan untuk menganalisa berbagai kerumitan menjadi tidak peka dengan kesederhanaan tersebut.</strong> Barangkali teman saya Mr. Executive perlu belajar untuk melihat dan menerapkan makna kebahagiaan dari Mr. Simple.<br />
<br />
Saya lalu tersenyum, di dalam hati saya berkata bahwa saya tidak akan menunggunya sampai saya mencapai sesuatu tujuan untuk bisa bahagia. Saya memutuskan bahwa saya berhak untuk bahagia sekarang ini juga. Perlahan-lahan saya hirup aroma wedang jahe yang ada di depan saya dan kemudian saya menyeruputnya. Hmmm……. Betapa nikmatnya. Ternyata hanya dengan sebuah wedang jahe panas di musim hujan yang dingin begini saya merasakan dan memahami makna kebahagiaan. </div><div align="justify"><br />

Ketika mendengar berita tersebut, saya bergegas menuju ke rumahnya yang kebetulan bersebelahan dengan rumah saya. Walaupun saya tidak sempat bertemu dengan Pak Djon sebelum meninggal, namun Ibu Christine (istri Pak Djon) masih memberikan saya kesempatan untuk melihat jenasah Pak Djon untuk terakhir kalinya sebelum Pak Don dimakamkan. Pagi itu, Pak Djon terbaring tenang, dengan seulas senyum menghiasi wajahnya.<br /><br />Sebetulnya saya jarang mengobrol panjang lebar dengan Pak Djon. Namun ada kesan yang cukup mendalam di hati saya tentang sosok Pak Djon yang saya kenal. Sejak saya pindah ke rumah itu beberapa tahun yang lalu, setiap pagi di saat saya berangkat beraktifitas, Pak Djon selalu menyapa saya dengan tersenyum lebar, seraya melambaikan tangannya sambil mengucapkan “Selamat Pagi”.<br /><br />Beberapa bulan terakhir ini kesehatan Pak Djon memang menurun karena beliau menjadi agak sulit berjalan dan berbicara. Meskipun demikian, hal tersebut tidak menghalangi Pak Djon untuk tetap memberikan senyumnya kepada setiap orang yang lewat di depan rumahnya, walaupun tanpa diiringi ucapan “Selamat Pagi” lagi, karena kondisi kesehatannya yang sulit untuk bisa berbicara.<br /><br />Pagi itu, ketika saya melayat di rumahnya, dan mengobrol dengan para tetangga, rupanya mereka juga memiliki kesan yang sama tentang Pak Djon. Mereka juga merasakan kesejukan setiap melihat senyum Pak Djon saat lewat di depan rumahnya. Sebetulnya apa yang dilakukan Pak Djon sangatlah sederhana, tetapi besar maknanya bagi saya dan orang-orang di sekelilingnya. Dan yang membuat saya kagum terhadap Pak Djon adalah bahwa ternyata dalam kondisi sakit stroke, hal itu tidak merintangi Pak Djon untuk tetap menikmati hidup dan berbagi keceriaan terhadap semua orang dengan senyumnya. Senyum itulah yang mengisi hari-hari indah saya. Senyum itulah yang membuat saya bersyukur di setiap pagi . Senyum itulah yang mengawali aktifitas saya dengan keceriaan. Senyum itulah yang membuat saya menjadi lebih menghargai arti kehidupan.<br /><br />Pak Djon memang telah pergi, namun saya yakin senyumnya yang tulus akan selalu menghiasi hati sanubari orang-orang di dekatnya. Sebuah senyum yang sederhana, tetapi sangat dalam maknanya. Seperti sekuntum bunga yang memberikan warna yang indah bagi lingkungan di sekelilingnya.<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><strong><em>Selamat jalan, Pak Djon. Terima kasih atas senyum tulus yang telah Pak Djon berikan selama ini. Semoga Pak Djon beristirahat di dalam kedamaian yang abadi. Salam hangat.</em></strong></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:+0;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:0;"></span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Written by : Ati Paramita</div><div align="justify">Photo : The brightness of hibiscus flower by Ati Paramita</div>Ati Paramitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16119362079240697209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4511992440814967997.post-33771862726675371782009-05-13T17:21:00.001-07:002009-05-13T17:41:03.775-07:00Friendship and Love in the Flowers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGb9pWfQ4SJiOYKfLq9DGSopfRfPnQnuZhB3QeZIlk5kwJJbEbi3w0Oj6ME6CvBj3UADOdZbXTKBCKk38UisJ2JuXF2VyGaGO69N9Tg5eFEB0itW3UpQIeY83hM7aXqrPCLqNiIm2txtAf/s1600-h/Friendship+and+Love.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335470708503998834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGb9pWfQ4SJiOYKfLq9DGSopfRfPnQnuZhB3QeZIlk5kwJJbEbi3w0Oj6ME6CvBj3UADOdZbXTKBCKk38UisJ2JuXF2VyGaGO69N9Tg5eFEB0itW3UpQIeY83hM7aXqrPCLqNiIm2txtAf/s400/Friendship+and+Love.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div>Photo : Lily Flowers in Keukenhof by Ati Paramita</div></div>Ati Paramitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16119362079240697209noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4511992440814967997.post-7725653847095575922009-05-10T18:14:00.000-07:002010-08-06T17:21:04.347-07:00Let's smile and the world will smile with us<div align="justify"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhASzdHYb5PFpaUJthOuMlFlh_wXoPPyEoATpRuqv21_V_71LbmQdE3oh9CRweZToQSho_0rE278j4CGIOnDmYsItsOSxevM1m0LDKyDyGYafNTAzIXTfKTni9c1sGaGjU20nX6cDOvwwMH/s1600/Smiling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" bx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhASzdHYb5PFpaUJthOuMlFlh_wXoPPyEoATpRuqv21_V_71LbmQdE3oh9CRweZToQSho_0rE278j4CGIOnDmYsItsOSxevM1m0LDKyDyGYafNTAzIXTfKTni9c1sGaGjU20nX6cDOvwwMH/s320/Smiling.jpg" /></a></div>Too often we assume that smiling is not important in our life. Maybe, it’s because smiling is very simple, so that we usually take it for granted. Many times we only smile on the specific cases, such as if there is something funny and it makes us smile, or if there is someone who smiles to us, then we response it also by smiling.<br />
<br />
Indeed, smiling has so many benefits for our soul. One of the benefits : smiling is an effective way for improving our positive energy. When we feel down due to anger, disappointment, or sadness, let’s try to smile for a few minutes by remembering a funny thing or seeing a funny story. Then, progressively we will forget any negative feeling which has bothered us. Why? Because, smiling is commonly associated with happy feeling, so it will lead us to switch our focus of attention from the things that makes us restless, to the things that makes us feel good.<br />
<br />
Another benefit of smiling is, when we give our smile to other person, it is also a signal that we treat this person as an important person in our life. This can change the negative mood of everybody surrounds us, so that they will feel comfortable with our presence. If they response it also by smiling, this positive energy will strengthen each other and will lead to a warmer and friendlier situation.<br />
<br />
When I gave a seminar in a company about “positive attitude”, there was a question asked by the participants, “How can I smile, when I find a traffic jam on the way to go home or even when I remember the price of everything goes up during this economics crisis? “<br />
<br />
Actually, smiling could also bring us to see a positive side of everything, it will also lead us to be grateful for anything that we have. So, if we found a traffic jam on the way to go home, let’s smile and be grateful that we still have a good job although we have to pass a long traffic jam. Meanwhile, there are a lot of people who are still struggling to find a job or who were laid-off by their companies due to this economics crisis. If we found that the price of everything goes up, let’ smile and be grateful that we still have good health, so that we can do many activities such as working (to fulfill our responsibilities to provide the main needs for our family), whereas there are other people who are still struggling with malnutrition or poverty.<br />
<br />
The main point is as often as we smile and feel grateful with anything which happens to us, it will be easier for us to see a good and fun side of that thing. In a long term, it will build the positive habit and attitude towards us, so that could bring a lot of positive things such as lucks and happiness in our life.<br />
<br />
So, have you smiled today? Let’s smile and the world will smile with us !!</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Written by Ati Paramita<br />

Terbersit kekaguman dalam benak saya bahwa potongan-potongan besi yang dirangkai sedemikian rupa dan saling melengkapi satu dengan yang lain, ternyata bisa membentuk sebuah rel yang membentang cukup panjang. Bukan hanya itu, rangkaian itu sedemikian kokohnya sehingga bisa dilintasi gerbong kereta api yang sangat berat yang membawa penumpang atau barang dari satu kota ke kota yang lain. Padahal apabila potongan-potongan besi itu berdiri sendiri-sendiri, mungkin hanya akan jadi potongan besi biasa dan manfaatnya tidak akan sebesar ini. Di satu sisi, kalau rel kereta itu kehilangan 1 atau 2 batang besi, kemampuan menopang beban gerbong kereta juga tidak akan menjadi sekuat apabila rangkaian potongan besi tersebut utuh.<br /></span><br />Di dalam sebuah organisasi, setiap elemen memiliki fungsi yang penting dan masing-masing elemen yang berbeda-beda tersebut harus dapat saling melengkapi satu dengan yang lain untuk dapat mencapai tujuan bersama. Tidak optimalnya komunikasi di dalam organisasi dapat menyebabkan ketidakseimbangan di dalam organisasi tersebut, sehingga dapat mengganggu proses tercapainya tujuan organisasi. Oleh karena itu, kerjasama dan komunikasi antar elemen yang ada di dalam itu organisasi sangatlah penting. Dan itulah mungkin sebabnya mengapa kerjasama dan komunikasi disebut sebagai team spirit. Karena seperti sebuah spirit atau soul yang menjadi energi penggerak suatu tim atau organisasi.<br /><br />Berbicara mengenai kerjasama di dalam sebuah organisasi, saya jadi teringat saat saya mendapat tugas sebuah projek untuk merampungkan <em>job evaluation</em> di salah satu perusahaan tempat saya dulu bekerja. <em>Job evaluation</em> merupakan sebuah proses untuk mengevaluasi dan mendeskripsikan tugas dari suatu pekerjaan berdasarkan tugas, tanggung jawab dan kompetensi apa yang diperlukan, sekaligus memberikan penilaian dan rangking atas pekerjaan tersebut di dalam skala yang ditetapkan di dalam sebuah organisasi.<br /><br />Semula tugas tersebut hanya dikerjakan oleh saya dan tim saya dari HRD saja, karena manajemen memperkirakan bahwa tugas tersebut hanya menjadi tanggung jawab dari bagian HRD dan bukan tanggung jawab dari keseluruhan organisasi. Namun, ternyata kami sempat mengalami kondisi macet yang cukup lama, karena walaupun bisa dibilang kami ahlinya masalah Human Resource di perusahaan tersebut, tetapi dengan jumlah karyawan yang ribuan orang, pengetahuan kami terbatas mengenai detail tugas karyawan di departemen yang berbeda-beda. Kami juga kesulitan mendapat dukungan dari departmen lain ketika kami memerlukan data dan informasi untuk menggarap tugas tersebut.<br /><br />Setelah tidak ada kemajuan yang berarti dalam selang waktu tertentu, kemudian kami mencoba meyakinkan manajemen untuk mendapatkan dukungan dan merubah formasi tim dengan melibatkan masing-masing manager dari tiap departmen seperti <em>Finance, Production, Technical Service, Customer Service, Information System</em>, dsb. Kemudian kami juga melibatkan mereka secara aktif, seperti mensosialisasikan manfaat dan efek dari kelancaran projek tersebut terhadap mereka, membuat target dan <em>planning</em> yang kita sepakati bersama, membuat komitmen bersama untuk meningkatkan <em>“sense of belonging”</em>, mengadakan pertemuan rutin untuk memantau perkembangan projek yang kita buat dan saling mengingatkan dan membantu satu dengan yang lain apabila ada yang kesulitan mengerjakan tugas tersebut. Kami juga sering bertemu secara non formal di luar jam kantor untuk sekedar menghabiskan waktu bersama seperti makan siang bersama atau ngopi sembari ngobrol. Akhirnya, tugas tersebut malah lebih cepat selesai daripada perkiraan semula. Tugas yang semula ditargetkan selesai dalam jangka waktu 1 tahun, bisa kami selesaikan dalam waktu 10 bulan.<br /><br />Ada tiga hal yang bisa saya tarik dari kejadian tersebut : </div><ul><li><div align="justify">Pertama, dengan dilibatkannya para lini manager dari berbagai departmen tersebut, dan memberikan penjelasan yang transparan, justru meningkatkan rasa kepemilikan terhadap sebuah tugas di dalam organisasi, karena mereka jadi menyadari apa manfaat dari lancarnya tugas tersebut bagi mereka dan apa akibatnya bila tugas tersebut macet. </div></li><li><div align="justify">Kedua, dengan komunikasi yang intensif selama ini kami lakukan, baik secara formal mapun non formal, kami dari HRD jadi bisa melihat sebuah permasalahan dari sudut pandang yang berbeda, karena kami jadi tahu apa saja kesulitan-kesulitan para lini managerdi lapangan dan begitu pula sebaliknya, mereka jadi memahami kesulitan-kesulitan kami, sehingga kami bisa lebih memahami satu sama lain. </div></li><li><div align="justify">Ketiga, ternyata hubungan kami dengan departemen lainpun menjadi lebih harmonis, sehingga <em>support</em> yang kami dapatkan justru lebih tinggi daripada sewaktu tugas tersebut hanya dikerjakan oleh HR department saja dan begitu pula di tugas-tugas selanjutnya. </div></li></ul><p align="justify"><span style="color:#000099;">Suara peluit sang Kepala Stasiun memberikan tanda bahwa kereta api akan berangkat. Waktu sudah menunjukkan pukul 09.00. Saya segera bergegas naik ke atas gerbong kereta. Sekali lagi sempat saya tatap rel kereta itu. Dalam hati saya berkata, "Alangkah indahnya bila dalam sebuah organisasi, kita bisa selalu bergandengan tangan menggapai tujuan bersama, seperti rangkaian besi-besi yang membentuk jalinan rel kereta yang kokoh menghantarkan kereta api sampai ke tujuannya".</span></p><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Written by Ati Paramita</div><div align="justify">Photo : Railway in Bunde - Maastricht by Ati Paramita</div>Ati Paramitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16119362079240697209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4511992440814967997.post-18805010825647447922009-05-04T00:55:00.000-07:002009-05-13T18:27:45.028-07:00I believe I can fly<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz6SWflXZGD_2_ykLe-mdQ2pcGUhv2Ga_TYYiC2Iy2FkORSl1-Dy35UPEr_1axdc2VeXAMdpxJTtWlCiz9A7HkLhVSFkUjo_7_sK_kZzU4jVQ155gLGE7AFUReo4Qy9lrdIfDBA69fMi7w/s1600-h/Kite+Festival+in+Scheveningen.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335484420896214834" style="DISPLAY: block;

Dina berusia 11 tahun dan saat ini duduk di bangku kelas VI SD. Saya mengenal Dina sejak dia dilahirkan, karena saya dulu pernah kos di rumah orangtuanya sewaktu mereka masih tinggal di Kebayoran Baru, sehingga Dina kecil sering bermain-main dan menghabiskan waktu bersama saya dan teman-teman kos lainnya. Saya dan teman-teman sangat krasan dan nyaman sekali tinggal di rumah tersebut karena sikap kekeluargaan mereka. Bahkan kami menganggap orang tua Dina (Mas Darsis dan Mbak Yati) dan anak-anak mereka yang lain (Dika dan Bagus) seperti keluarga kami sendiri. Tetapi kemudian karena rumah warisan keluarga tersebut harus dijual, sehingga mereka memutuskan untuk pindah ke Depok dan akhirnya saya dan teman-teman pindah dari rumah itu.<br /><br />Sudah sekitar 3 tahun saya tidak bertemu dengan Dina dan keluarganya, karena kesibukan saya bekerja dan meneruskan sekolah ke Belanda. Sehingga ketika saya menelpon Dina dan mengatakan akan main ke rumahnya, dia gembira sekali bertemu dengan saya. Seharian itu ketika saya berkunjung ke rumahnya, saya habiskan waktu saya untuk menemani Dina bermain-main seperti ketika dulu saya masih kos di rumahnya. Saya menemaninya bercanda di taman rumahnya, bermain di kolam renang, menemani Dina makan, minum ice cream dan juga mendampinginya les pelajaran sekolah. Bahkan Dina juga ikut ketika saya dan Mamanya mengunjungi rumah salah satu teman kos juga, Indri, yang tinggal tidak jauh dari rumahnya karena kebetulan Indri baru melahirkan.<br /><br />Ketika di sor<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEK2qEhjxdjNSwjhZFw955uMhYac6QpuJwDy464VWZTQjT4lHnxNi9cJvY4173j3YtfxsYa0W2Nu4MO_R_5Hz5Y-LB5khbPgLzgppn0H06Qq-7PLyLWImVLDU8dJM7ob_eRkcSTA-WcG38/s1600-h/Dina+picture.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327775988675542690" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 307px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEK2qEhjxdjNSwjhZFw955uMhYac6QpuJwDy464VWZTQjT4lHnxNi9cJvY4173j3YtfxsYa0W2Nu4MO_R_5Hz5Y-LB5khbPgLzgppn0H06Qq-7PLyLWImVLDU8dJM7ob_eRkcSTA-WcG38/s320/Dina+picture.JPG" border="0" /></a>e hari saya pamit mau pulang dari rumahnya, tiba-tiba Dina menghilang, dan seperti sibuk sendiri mengerjakan sesuatu. Dia hanya bilang ke saya “Tungguin bentar ya, Mba Ati, Dina lagi sibuk!”. Sekitar tiga perempat jam saya tungguin dia, sampai akhirnya dia datang dan membawa sebuah kertas dengan tulisan khas anak-anak “Buat Mba Ati” . Ketika saya buka kertas tersebut, ternyata ada sebuah gambar tentang 2 orang perempuan yang berdiri berdekatan, dan dia menulis namanya dan nama saya di kedua orang tersebut. Hehe…. Gambar tersebut membuat saya tersenyum setiap kali memandangnya. <em>It’s so cute</em> ! Dan ketika saya buka halaman berikutnya ternyata di balik kertasnya Dina juga menulis sebuah puisi buat saya yang berjudul Kampung Halamanku. <em>Oh my God</em>, saya jadi terharu sekaligus kagum dibuatnya. Dalam usianya yang semuda itu, dia pintar sekali merangkai kata-kata yang indah yang menyentuh dan memberikan makna yang dalam. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"></div><p align="justify"><em><strong><span style="color:#6600cc;">Buat my little angle and my best friend, Dina. Terima kasih banyak ya ! Mbak Ati seneng banget deh dikasih gambar dan puisi dari Dina. Gambar Dina indah. Puisi Dina juga bagus dan dapat memberikan ketenangan dan kedamaian di hati Mba Ati. Selamat belajar, dan semoga lulus ujiannya nanti ! Sampai bertemu kembali di lain waktu.

Hujan salju yang sangat lebat menerpa bandara udara Korea Selatan pagi itu di bulan Januari 2008, sehingga landas pacu dan badan pesawat tampak berwarna putih tertutup oleh salju.<br /><br />Setelah menunggu selama 3 jam, pada saat menjelang jadwal keberangkatan, tiba-tiba pihak maskapai penerbangan mengumumkan bahwa keberangkatan pesawat harus ditunda selama 4 jam karena hujan salju yang semakin lebat menerpa, sehingga demi keselamatan penumpang, keberangkatan pesawat akan dilakukan menunggu hujan salju mereda.<br /><br />Sempat terlintas kekecewaan dan kejengkelan dalam diri saya, saya berkata dalam hati “Apa? 4 jam lagi? Apa mereka ga ngerti kalau saya sudah menunggu selama 3 jam di sini”. Sekarang saya masih harus menunggu selama 4 jam lagi, berarti total waktu menunggu saya adalah 7 jam. Dan ternyata apa yang saya rasakan dialami juga oleh para penumpang lainnya yang kebanyakan adalah penumpang transit yang sudah menunggu cukup lama seperti saya.<br /><br />Saya memperhatikan reaksi para penumpang tersebut satu per satu. Ada berbagai macam ekspresi ada di sana. Ada seorang ibu yang duduk di sebelah saya di ruang tunggu, bergegas menelpon putranya di Amsterdam yang akan menjemputnya mengatakan bahwa pesawatnya akan mengalami keterlambatan. Ada sepasang suami istri yang mengomel-ngomel dengan nada yang keras sehingga penumpang lainnya bisa mendengar apa yang diucapkannya. Ada seorang eksekutif yang mendatangi <em>front desk</em>, marah-marah, dan mengatakan bahwa dia ada perjanjian bisnis penting, sehingga meminta pihak <em>front desk</em> untuk segera memindahkan ke pesawat lain. Ada seorang anak muda yang tampak cuek, dia hanya terkejut sebentar tetapi kemudian memasang lagi speaker iPod di telinganya dan bersiul-siul.<br /><br />Setelah saya sempat menarik nafas panjang sesaat, dan mengamati reaksi orang-orang di sekitar saya, kekecewaan dan kejengkelan saya malah menghilang. Saya merasa bersyukur bahwa total waktu menunggu saya hanya selama 7 jam, sementara ketika saya ngobrol dengan seorang penumpang dari Australia, ternyata dia harus menunggu lebih lama dari saya dengan total waktu tunggu kurang lebih selama 12 jam.<span style="font-size:0;"></span> <span style="font-size:0;"></span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:0;"></span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:0;"></span></div><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:0;"></span></p><p align="justify">Kemudian saya ngobrol dengan Ibu yang duduk di sebelah saya tadi, dia juga menuturkan “<em>I don’t care how long I have to wait. For me, safety is more important than taking a risk for flying in the bad weather”.</em> Sejujurnya, saya setuju dengan pendapat Si Ibu itu. Kembali saya bersyukur, bahwa keselamatan saya dan semua penumpang tetap terjaga karena keberangkatan pesawat tersebut ditunda. Saya bayangkan pasti rasanya ngeri juga seandainya si pilot nekad menerbangkan pesawat dalam kondisi hujan dan badai salju. Tiba-tiba energi positif saya kembali hadir, saya memilih untuk tidak membiarkan kekecewaan dan kejengkelan menemani saya, saya memilih untuk menikmati suasana yang ada. Lalu setelah saya selesai mengobrol dengan penumpang lainnya, saya segera membuka notebook saya, membuat catatan-catatan kecil mengenai apa yang saya alami, sehingga saya bisa sharing seperti apa yang saya tuliskan di sini dan menghasilkan sesuatu yang lebih bermanfaat.<br /><br />Kadang-kadang kita tidak bisa mengelak dari situasi-situasi yang tidak kita inginkan yang terjadi di sekitar kita dan di luar kendali kita, seperti jalanan yang macet saat kita berangkat dan pulang beraktifitas, acara televisi yang kurang mendidik, berita-berita di media yang menegangkan, teman-teman kerja yang perangainya tidak kita sukai, dan masih banyak lagi contoh lainnya. Memang kita tidak bisa mengendalikan hal-hal tersebut untuk berjalan sesuai dengan kemauan kita, tetapi sebetulnya kita bisa memilih respon aktif dalam menghadapi situasi semacam itu. Dalam situasi penundaan penerbangan seperti yang yang saya ceritakan tadi, <em>instead of</em> jengkel dan mengomel, saya memilih untuk bersyukur dan menikmati waktu dengan mengobrol dengan penumpang lain dan menulis kisah ini di <em>notebook</em> saya.</p><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:0;"></span>Ternyata, dalam situasi-situasi lainpun hal itu juga bisa diterapkan. Misalnya, kalo kita tidak ingin terjebak kemacetan yang akan membuat kita jengkel, mungkin kita bisa berangkat lebih pagi. Teman saya bercerita bahwa dia selalu berangkat dari rumahnya di Bekasi jam 05.15, sehingga sekitar pukul 06.00 dia sudah sampai di kantor nya yang berada di daerah Sudirman. Karena jam kantor dia baru efektif pukul 08.00, jadi dia manfaatkan waktunya untuk jogging di Senayan sekitar 1 jam, kemudian dia sarapan, mandi dan beraktifitas di kantor dengan tubuh yang bugar.<br /><br />Demikian pula, kalo misalnya kita tidak menyukai acara-acara di televisi seperti sinetron yang kurang mendidik atau berita-berita yang menegangkan, kita bisa melakukan respon aktif dengan memindah <em>channel </em>kita dengan acara lain misalnya musik atau olahraga yang kita sukai, sehingga keberadaan acara televisi itu tidak menganggu kenyamanan kita, tetapi justru membuat kita merasa rileks.<br /><br />Seandainya kita ditempatkan di lingkungan kerja yang teman-temannya menurut kita tidak menyenangkanpun, mungkin kita bisa mencari teman lain yang lebih nyaman menurut kita. Bahkan kita bisa juga introspeksi diri dan belajar untuk mengenal lebih jauh teman-teman yang menjengkelkan tersebut, barangkali ada sisi-sisi positif dari teman-teman tersebut yang selama ini tidak kita lihat atau kita kenal. Sehingga, kita bisa lebih memahami dan memaklumi latar belakang mengapa mereka bersikap begitu. Jadi, sikap menjengkelkan dari teman tersebut tidak mengganggu kita lagi.<br /><br /><em>All in all</em>, <strong>walaupun kita tidak bisa mengatur segala sesuatu yang terjadi di sekeliling kita, tetapi dengan respon-respon aktif yang bisa kita pengaruhi terhadap diri kita sendiri <span style="font-size:+0;"></span><strong></strong>tersebut, akan membantu kita untuk men-<em>switch</em> energi kita dari negatif ke positif. Sehingga, kita bisa lebih <em>enjoy</em> dan <em>flexible</em> dalam menghadapi situasi-situasi yang <em>unpredictable</em> and <em>unexpected</em>.</strong> Mari kita coba !!</div><div align="justify">Written by Ati Paramita</div><div align="justify">Photo : Snowing time in South Korea Airport by Ati Paramita </div>Ati Paramitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16119362079240697209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4511992440814967997.post-44390318294295509242009-04-12T00:44:00.000-07:002010-09-03T02:55:18.114-07:00The light in the darkness<div align="justify"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #003300;">If </span><span style="color: #003300;">there is a </span><span style="color: #003300;">desert</span></span><span style="color: #003300;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #003300;">,</span> there must be an oasis,<br />

Karena saking simpelnya sebuah senyum itu, sehingga kita sering mengganggapnya sebagai sesuatu hal yang biasa, yang hanya kita lakukan pada saat-saat tertentu bila ada sesuatu yang membuat kita geli sehingga kita tersenyum, atau bila kita berhadapan dengan seseorang yang memberi kita senyum sehingga kita membalas dengan tersenyum.<br />
<br />
Padahal, senyum memiliki banyak manfaat bagi jiwa kita. Salah satu manfaat tersebut adalah senyum merupakan sebuah cara yang ampuh untuk mendatangkan energi positif. Cobalah ketika perasaan kita sedang tidak enak entah karena marah, kecewa, atau sedih, kemudian kita tersenyum dengan lepas selama beberapa menit. Maka, perlahan-lahan beban yang mengganggu kita akan terasa berkurang. Mengapa? Karena senyum akan menuntun kita untuk memindahkan fokus perhatian dari hal-hal yang meresahkan dan menggantinya dengan hal-hal yang menyenangkan, sehingga energi negatif kita akan tergantikan dengan energi positif.<br />
<br />
Manfaat lainnya adalah apabila kita tersenyum dengan tulus kepada orang lain, hal tersebut juga merupakan suatu signal yang kita kirimkan bahwa kita memandang penting makna orang lain tersebut bagi kita. Senyum tulus yang kita berikan akan dapat merubah mood orang-orang di sekitar kita, sehingga mereka merasa lebih nyaman dengan kehadiran kita. Dan apabila mereka membalas dengan senyum juga, maka energi positif itu akan saling memperkuat dan akan mengalirkan suasana yang hangat dan penuh persahabatan.<br />
<br />
Ketika saya memberikan training mengenai <em>“positive attitude”,</em> beberapa peserta sering menanyakan kepada saya, “Bagaimana mungkin untuk bisa tersenyum kalau pulang dari kantor melihat jalanan macet, apalagi mengingat harga-harga bahan makanan yang membumbung tinggi di tengah krisis ekonomi ini?”.<br />
<br />
Sebetulnya senyum juga akan melatih kita untuk membiasakan diri memandang segala sesuatu yang terjadi pada diri kita dari sisi positif, menuntun kita untuk mensyukuri segala sesuatu yang kita miliki. Jadi kalau pulang dari kantor, kita melihat jalanan macet, mari kita tersenyum dan bersyukur bahwa kita masih dikarunia oleh Tuhan, pekerjaan, tempat kita mencari nafkah walapun kita harus melewati kemacetan untuk berangkat dan pulang dari kantor, sementara itu banyak orang yang kesulitan mendapat pekerjaan atau bahkan terkena pemutusan hubungan kerja (PHK). Kalau kita teringat harga-harga bahan makanan yang membumbung tinggi, mari kita tersenyum dan bersyukur bahwa kita masih dikaruniai oleh Tuhan, kesehatan, sehingga kita tetap dapat bekerja dan memenuhi kebutuhan pokok keluarga kita.<br />
<br />
Intinya adalah <strong>semakin sering kita tersenyum dan mensyukuri keadaan yang terjadi pada diri kita, maka akan semakin mudah bagi kita untuk melihat sisi yang menyenangkan dari suatu peristiwa atau keadaan, apapun itu. Dan dalam jangka panjang hal tersebut akan menjadikan sebuah kebiasaan positif bagi kita, sehingga akan dapat mendatangkan energi positif yang lebih kuat dan membawa berbagai keberuntungan bagi kita</strong>.<br />
<br />
Jadi, sudahkah anda tersenyum hari ini? Tersenyumlah, maka dunia akan tersenyum bersama kita !!</span><br />
