Mengotak-ngotakan hidup

Halo semuanya!

Entah kenapa pagi ini rasanya pengen banget nulis soal mengkotak-kotakan kehidupan.

Gampangnya mengotak-ngotakan kehidupan itu ketika kita tanpa sadar membatasi ruang gerak dan berkreasi diri sendiri karena merasa tidak mampu, padahal belum mencoba.

Rasa takut untuk gagal memang kadang menghantui diri sendiri, takut akan membuang-buang waktu yang kita punya, takut salah mengambil keputusan, takut diomongin orang, takut karena saingannya hebat-hebat, takut gak bisaa bagi waktu, dan bermacam-macam alasan lainnya.

Padahal semua itu belum kita lakukan sama sekali gais wkwk ya begitulah, kadang kita terlalu banyak pertimbangan yang pada akhirnya kesempatan-kesempatan yang datang kita lewati begitu saja karena kita belum mempersiapkannya dengan baik.

Saya pernah mendengar suatu nasihat :

“ Keberuntungan itu bisa diciptakan saat persiapan bertemu dengan kesempatan. Ketika kesempatan itu datang dan kita belum siap maka keberuntungan itu tidak akan tercipta dan lewat begitu saja”

Nah gimana tuh gais, sakit gak sih kalau nanti kesempatan datang tapi kita gak nyiapin apa-apa. Malah sibuk mikirin kalo nanti gini gimana, kalo nanti gitu gimana? Yah, pas dateng kelewat deh :’D

Waduh sedih banget ga tuh :’)

Nah mungkin saya mau ngingetin yang pertama buat diri saya sendiri dan kalau temen-temen lagi ngerasain ini semoga bisa bermanfaat.

1. Ingatlah bahwa hidup adalah sebuah anugerah

Kesempatan untuk bisa hidup di dunia, mungkin gak akan terulang lagi… (YOLO ( you only live once)). Ya.. walaupun hidup gak cuma sekali, nantinya kita bakal dibangkitkan lagi ya…

Namun dunia ini menjadi medan perjuangan yang perlu kita pertanggung jawabkan kan yaa :) Jadi kalau lagi takut, coba deh ingat lagi ini dan semangat untuk mengoptimalkan potensi mu selagi ada waktu… Gak apa kok kalo nanti salah atau gagal, toh kalo kita jatuh kita bisa bangkit lagi kan :D

2. Berdoa agar selalu diberikan yang terbaik

Nah, hal yang gak kalah penting ketika mau melangkah. Jangan lupa berdoa ya gais. Kadang kita juga punya keterbatasan, salah satunya kita gak pernah tau apa yang akan terjadi dimasa depan. Kita gak pernah tau ada hal besar apa dibalik pilihan-pilihan yang kita ambil.

Manusia bisa saja berencana, namun Allah mengetahui apa yang terbaik untuk hambanya.

3. Jangan menyerah

Pernah ngerasa udah capek? terus mau nangis terus mau udahan terus mau ngeluarin apa yang buat pikiran capek? dan akhirnya bilang “ udah ah gua mau nyerah aja :’)”

Emang kadang menyelesaikan sesuatu yang kita mulai itu butuh tetesan air mata. Dan kalau teman-teman sedang membayangkan cita-cita diraih dengan indah. Tolong, stop disini… Teman-teman perlu sadar bahwa jalan menuju cita-cita akan terjal dan menyakitkan, sekali-kali saat hujan reda mungkin akan ada pelangi indah dihadapan kita. Dan disitulah titik-titik keberhasilan mulai melambaikan tangan.

Saat ingin menyerah coba tengok kebelakang, sudah seberapa jauh langkah kaki teman-teman? yakin teman-teman akan menyerah begitu saja?

Ibarat suatu game, ketika kita menyerah dan gak mau main lagi. Apa kita akan jadi lebih baik? kita akan terus berada disana kan.. gak akan naik level sama sekali, gak jadi lebih baik.

Jadi, please… coba tengok lagi udah seberapa jauh? dan apa kita mau jadi orang yang gini-gini aja? Itu semua ada dipilihan kita masing-masing :D

4. Biarkan diri kamu bekerja sama dengan sebaik mungkin

Ketika kamu punya ide untuk melakukan A, melakukan B, melakukan C.

Coba aja, coba dan coba.

Biarkan dirimu bekerja sama sebaik mungkin. Biarkan hati, pikiran, dan tindakan yang kamu lakukan menjadi sebuah doa baik dan pada akhirnya semesta menghendaki yang terbaik untukmu. Jadilah pemberani yang akan menemukan versi terbaik dari diri kamu sendiri.

5. Jadilah orang baik

Apa yang kamu tanam itu yang kamu tuai, kadang dunia ini perlu keseimbangan. Jadilah orang baik dimanapun kamu berada, karena bisa jadi Allah memberikanmu kesempatan hidup untuk menjadi penolong bagi sesama, untuk menjadi kebahagiaan bagi sesama, dan untuk menjadi penerang dikala gelap.

I recently applied to contribute articles to Sydney’s Weekend Notes, an online travel guide letting readers know what’s going on in Sydney at any given time, from events to great restaurants to outdoor activities and more. After being accepted, I submitted my first article a few days ago and it was published last week. I think this marks the first time something I’ve written has been published on a site other than my own blog. Needless to say, I’m pretty excited! Check it out by clicking on the link above. :)

I write for it now! :)

This morning I volunteered for a bit at Perth City Farm with their plant stall:

I come about once every 3 weeks on a Sat morning to help out the organisation because I believe they do some great stuff for the community.

It is also really nice to have a chat to people. Today I met a raw food vegan who invited me to go Urban Foraging in October when the Mulberries and Figs come out. I met 2 recently moved to Perth guys who told me about what they have planned for the weekend and their move to Perth. As well as a man who is helping out the farm by putting together some boards that will act as sign posts to the market.

Unfortunately, last night the cafe was broken into. So it was closed today. It was pretty sad to hear about it. The intruder came to look for money and when he couldn’t find it, he went and smashed eggs and was quite aggresive with the cafe’s food. There will be a news report about it sometime soon as I saw 2 different news people with their cameras speaking about it. They did catch the guy, he was actually still IN the farm.

After the stall, I ate some lunch and then at work on the Ref Desk. Students are all quietly studying right now, which is really affirming that we can offer it to them.

After Ref desk I will be meeting up with a work friend and going to check out Dr Haze’s Incredible Maze!

The Royal Botanic Gardens are definitely a lovely place to visit. You can bring along a picnic and just lie on the grass, or walk through the gardens admiring all of the plants and flowers. If you’d rather not eat a picnic on the grass, there are cafes and restaurants here too. The lush grassy spots are a lovely place to sit with someone you love. There are definitely some gorgeous sights here that you couldn’t find anywhere else in Sydney, it could be here that you feel romance is in the air. 

Perhaps Sydney’s most romantic spot is not a spot at all, maybe your heart gets aflutter up in the air. Balloon Aloft offer hot air balloon rides that fly high above Sydney and the Blue Mountains. You and your significant other will be joined by an instructor, as you get a birds eye view of everything below. it will be as if nobody else in the world matters except for the two of you, up in that balloon. It is a unique way to spend a date, but you might find it a very romantic option. 

A private boat ride on the harbour might be as romantic as it gets. Champagne and strawberries will help make this even more special. It could even be an afternoon strolling through the Art Gallery of New South Wales, soaking up the culture and emotion around you. The fact is that everyone will probably find a different spot romantic for different reasons, wherever it is we want to know all about it.

Some girls might feel like a trip to Tiffany & Co. is the most romantic option you can get, while an animal lover might enjoy a romantic trip to the Zoo. If you’ve had a wonderful first date, or a memorable Valentine’s Day, then make sure you tell us all about it. Romantic locations are often formed from the memories that are made there. So let us know which place ticks all the boxes for you, and is the most romantic spot in all of Sydney.

There is something for everyone who enjoys their crafty side.
