The analysis of the flight of time...

Ever told yourself and your friends that "time flies"?

Many times.... I'm sure I did.

So why did the person throw his clock out the window?

To see time fly.... duh... haha *pfff....

Haha, well its not the point of this blog post. Anyway the thought randomly came into my mind. So I'm gonna spill it all out here. BLAHH...haha

So why does time fly?

Bare with me here.. I'm going to get real technical. Haha.. not really...

Well I noticed that I started mentioning that term, and started reminiscing heavily during high school days... And I would hear from my other mates as well..
And so on until our present age... We'd never stop saying... "Time flies..."

Did you notice? During our younger years... Say, primary years, or just before high school... We'd never say those words.. Well at least I've never heard anyone of them say them.

We'd probably be imagining clocks with wings instead!

In theory, subjected to, as to what is said, deduced with.....just kidding haha

Well I'm suspecting that it's related to our "attention span"
*Gasp....say what??

You know...when we were kids in class... We'd always look at the time. "Arghh time is soo sloww..."
Listening to the lesson, and then go blank, and stare at the clock every ten minutes...

Then jump into high school... Did you notice time zipped by pretty fast? We now have longer attention spans! And of course reminiscing of our fun and stupid times, which seem to grow ever distant every time...

And yeah, taking into account we start to make bigger decisions... Which stream to take, "science or commerce?" Noo! What happened to the good and carefree days?...

Then zip, it's graduation day!.... Another milestone... "Time flies."

So long are the days when we'd just imagine clocks to have wings... And now take on it's dreaded meaning instead.

Anyways... My mind just vomited right there haha...

Enjoy ;)

How long can a person last with just a positive mindset?

How long can a person last with just a positive mindset?

From my experience not very long...

I believe it's the spark that get's you up when your down. And is also the grease that smoothen the grind in life.

But it's really not the thing that sustains a person to keep on going. I think it's more like an "add-on", like and upgrade of your hero in in your computer game.

This grease really does dry up, and you just have to keep on applying it. But like I said it doesn't really sustain a person consistently.

I feel it real bad...
So what's the thing a person really needs to keep on going?

Yep... you guessed it.
Love and affirmation from another human being. Be it family or friends, or whoever.

It's so true.
Yes, it is very good to have a good and positive mindset.

Picture a car... Love and affirmation is the gasoline. And a positive mindset is the grease which keeps the car going smooth and not rusty. It will definitely get that car faster to it's destination.
What's the destination? Your goals, your aspirations, and whatnot. Where are you going?

There is also the quality of gasoline. Much like the quality of love that we're receiving. I hope it's unconditional love.

Like everyone else, I have a love tank that needs to be constantly filled.
If not... I succumb to temptations more easily.

So love the person you meet. You may never know what he or she may be going through. Whether it be a smile, or a cheerful hello, a pat on the back, or whatever... Bring light to that other person's life. Give some gasoline in that tank!

And when you give love, you will receive it a hundred fold.
Keep in mind this only works when you don't expect it back from that other person. Give it freely, and it will be freely given unto you.

I just want to thank God for totally, completely, and perfectly loving me.
I thank all my friends who like to share their laughter with me. Their time, and their love.
And I want to thank you...
For giving your time just to read my not so perfect, not so accurate view, but with every ounce of love I might have, I give it to you through this blog.

God bless...

Thank you Lord

Time flies so fast yeah...

I remember when I just got to Melbourne as if it was just a few days ago, it's literally been more than 3 months now, and I'll be heading back to Jakarta soon... Whewh...
I'm pretty excited, as I love to fly. Ironic though, I'm quite afraid of heights, but I love to fly.

Haven't been blogging in awhile yea...

Anyways I just want to share what I've learned recently. I'm pretty much a wisdom junkie haha...

Just two days ago, I went to meet the YFCs here, had a talk from Kuya Kirby Llaban, who just left today to go back to phils...
It's cool cuz somehow I learned something new from the community, and I actually did learn something. I used listen to talks back in Indonesia from the community and it seem like it didn't go in my mind. But this time it did. Probably I didn't have a good mindset before.
I learned the 4 'P's
on growing the community.

Passion for service
Protect your relationships
Prepare your heart
Keep a a regular prayer time

I pray that CFC Indonesia will be revived once again.

The next day, Saturday, we had a Music Min/ Song writing workshop.
I had quite a difficult time getting to the venue, but once I got there, it was totally worth the trouble. There weren't any trains going to the venue, so I had to take the two long bus rides.

I feel proud of myself stepping up and just having the courage to sing in front of many people.
It was definitely a great feeling just running towards my fears and just doing it anyway. During the workshop, someone had to voluntarily sing a line from a psalm in his own way. In his own flow, whatever felt right to the person. And I actually did it! Gosh... Increase confidence points for me =) haha...

Then I had a great Tito and Tita who willingly drove me all the way to the city from far away Werribee! It was even already 12.30am! Man.... I really thank God for such wonderful people. Thank you tito and tita! :D

What a wonderful experience. More inspired to write songs now. To improve my singing. Just simply more inspired to live to the full in my own flow.
Striving to find out what I was created to do. To find my purpose. My deepest happiness, and to bless the world with it.

Thank you Lord...

A post after a long time

I haven't been blogging for awhile huh..

Well, here's my next post after a long, long time.

Ever felt that you weren't good enough?
That you get overly conscious on what you're doing or saying?

Like you see others, and they're that good, and you weren't just good enough?

I've honestly been feeling that way recently.

But thankfully I've learned how to counter those. I can say it's a real pain in the... heart.
haha... You thought I was gonna say that other word did ya? haha...

It's really a painful process, and requires perseverance on my part. Just really grinding it out.

So these are the things that I've learned to counter them.

*Build a good self-image
*Don't compare yourself to others
*Have a daily self-affirmation in morning after getting up, and evening before going to sleep.


Building your self-image

This ones a real must.
What I do is, every morning and evening I read out loud my goals and imagine that I have actually achieved them. Tangible goals, and Intangible goals. Tangible like; Earn $15,000 per month, have a new home, etc. Intangible like; I am a confident person, I am a good people person, I can read fast, etc.
Do it every single day without fail, or it will lose it's momentum & energy.

Don't compare yourself to others.
This is one of my weaknesses. When I look at others, and then I look at myself, I unnecessarily suffer, and am being masochistic in a way.
So what I'm doing my best to do now is just to look at my past, and see how far I have gone. And then I start to feel good about myself.

Have Daily self-affirmation
I do this every morning and evening. I tell myself that I am a good person, that I am totally, completely, and perfectly loved by God, that I am a phenomenal human being, etc.
It really helps me get through, especially when I start to feel self-pity, and when I feel down cuz I compared myself to others.


I'm really in the process of building my character, well consciously doing it.

I've recently learned something as well, the law of reciprocity... is that how you spell that? haha anyways.
I learned that what you give, you receive a hundred times fold.
Want love? Give love first, and you will receive even more.

This I seriously gotta remember.
