Kesabaran untuk Belajar

Seorang anak muda mengunjungi seorang ahli permata dan menyatakan maksudnya untuk berguru. Ahli permata itu menolak pada mulanya, karena dia kuatir anak muda itu tidak memiliki kesabaran yang cukup untuk belajar. Anak muda itu memohon dan memohon sehingga akhirnya ahli permata itu menyetujui permintaannya. "Datanglah ke sini besok pagi." katanya.

Keesokan harinya, ahli permata itu meletakkan sebuah batu berlian di atas tangan si anak muda dan memerintahkan untuk menggenggamnya. Ahli permata itu meneruskan pekerjaannya dan meninggalkan anak muda itu sendirian sampai sore.

Hari berikutnya, ahli permata itu kembali menyuruh anak muda itu menggenggam batu yang sama dan tidak mengatakan apa pun yang lain sampai sore harinya.Demikian juga pada hari ketiga, keempat, dan kelima.
Pada hari keenam, anak muda itu tidak tahan lagi dan bertanya, "Guru, kapan saya akan diajarkan sesuatu?"
Gurunya berhenti sejenak dan menjawab, "Akan tiba saatnya nanti," dan kembali meneruskan pekerjaannya.

Beberapa hari kemudian, anak muda itu mulai merasa frustrasi. Ahli permata itu memanggilnya dan meletakkan sebuah batu ke tangan pemuda itu. Anak muda frustrasi itu sebenarnya sudah hendak menumpahkan semua kekesalannya, tetapi ketika batu itu diletakkan di atas tangannya, anak muda itu langsung berkata, "Ini bukan batu yang sama!" "Lihatlah, kamu sudah belajar," kata gurunya.

Renungan
Hidup mengajari kita secara diam-diam. Semakin kesal kita pada hidup ini semakin jauh kita darinya. Tiada yang lebih baik kita lakukan pada hidup ini selain kita belajar dengan sabar untuk menerima apa adanya.

Melihat Yang Orang Lain Tidak Dapat Lihat

Saat orang lain menganggap sebagai masalah yang berat.
Saya melihat sebagai peluang untuk dapat maju.

Saat orang lain menganggap sebagai hal yang tidak berarti.
Saya melihat sebagai suatu masukkan yang berarti.

Saat orang lain melihat sebagai angka-angka yang membosankan.
Saya melihat sebagai data yang menentukan keputusan.

Saat orang lain melihat sebagai pekerjaan orang lain.
Saya melihat sebagai menambah pengetahuan.

Saat orang lain tidak dapat menyelesaikan masalah.
Saya melihat tidak ada masalah yang tidak dapat terselesaikan.

Saat orang lain hanya sebagai pengikut.
Saya melihat peluang untuk menciptakan pengikut.

Saat orang lain menutupi kesalahan.
Saya belajar dari kesalahan.

If You

Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have power to create conditions in your life.
What you speak about, you can bring about.
If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job.
If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick.
If you keep saying you can't stand your car, your car could be stolen or just stop operating.
If you keep saying you're broke, guess what? You'll always be broke.
If you keep saying you can't trust a man or trust a woman, you will always find someone in your life to hurt and betray you.
If you keep saying you can't find a job, you will remain unemployed.
If you keep saying you can't find someone to love you or believe in you, your very thought will attract more experiences to confirm your beliefs.
If you keep talking about a divorce or break up in a relationship, then you might end up with it. Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and power packed with faith, hope, love and action.

Don't be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve.
Watch your Thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your Habits, they become character.
Watch your Character, for it becomes your Destiny.

The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settle for.
"In the search for me, I discovered truth. In the search for truth, I discovered love. In the search for love, I discovered God.
And in God, I have found everything."

Sharing love, Joy follows

This journey through life is yours;
Live more in the moment and less in the past.
Resolve to accept others differences and opinions,
Knowing it's okay to agree to disagree.

Embrace every day, every hour, and every moment
Just as if each were your last.
Share less of injustice; renew disappointment;
Focus on the positive.

For this is your life, no one can live it...
No one can change it... Except for you.
You have the power to change today, any time, any way!

Spread love just as the bees spread honey
And never leaving a kind word unsaid.
Cherish individuality, for it is the uniqueness
That makes each of us special.

Embrace family; treat them like friends...
Surely then those relationships will never end.
Accept others make mistakes,
Learn to forgive, to let go... to move on.

For this is your life, no one can live it...
No one can change it... Except for you.
Remember, you have the power to change today, any time, any way!

History should remain a study of the past, a valuable lesson perhaps.
Press onward, not backward.
Resolve to concentrate less on the lack of communication...
And more on becoming part of establishing it.

Spend less time focusing on others weakness and more on improving your own...
And know, when you stand back, it will seem like magic...
Great things will happen!

Remember too, that by sharing love, joy follows
And isn't that what really makes life worth living?

FOR THIS IS YOUR LIFE, no one can live it...
No one can change it... Except for you.

And my wish for you today;
To always believe and to always know
You have the power to change today, any time, any way!
