Law of Attraction

Masih pengin ngomongin THE SECRET, di bawah gw upload step-step for applying Law of Attraction kayak yang pernah gw bahas di The Secret

The Universal Law of Attraction (LOA) is the most powerful law in the universe. It is simple in concept but practice is necessary.  But once you "get it", there is no looking back!  It will be part of you forever. The simplest definition of this law is "like attracts like."   Other definitions include:

You get what you think about, whether wanted or unwanted. The Law of Attraction is neutral.

All forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration.

You are a living magnet.

You get what you put your energy and focus on, whether wanted or unwanted.

Energy attracts like energy

Everything draws to itself that which is like itself.

Here are some ways of expressing the Law of Attraction:

Birds of a feather flock together

Like attracts like

Whatever you want wants you

What you sow, you reap

What you put out you get back

What comes around goes around

The Law of Attraction is fun to learn and use because you are always watching, waiting expectantly for your desires to manifest.  You can deliberately use this law to create your future!

Universal Law of Attraction

This universal law is working in your life right now, whether you are aware of it or not. You are attracting the people, situations, jobs and much more into your life. Once you are aware of this law and how it works, you can start to use it to deliberately attract what you want into your life.

How do you create your desires using the powerful law? There are just a few basic steps.
 
1. Get very clear on what you want

2. Visualize and raise your vibration about it

3. Allow It

You must be very clear on exactly what your desire is. Focus on it.  Give it all your positive energy. Feel good!

A major factor behind this Universal Law is the energy and vibrations of our emotions and feelings. Any thought you may have, when combined with emotion, vibrates out from you to the universe and will attract back what you want.

You can leave all the details to the universe.  Let the Universe figure out the method of delivery, when you will receive it, etc.  Now all you have to do is Allow It.  Sounds easy, right?  This can be the most difficult part to do.  Be doubt-free. All you need to do is expect it.  Act like you already have it. Be grateful.

And always take inspired action. If something feels right, then go ahead and do it. Taking action is an important step.

That is it!  You can always be expectant of good things, your desires.  Feel good knowing your desire is on its way to you.  

Always expect your desires. Expect miracles.

Pasar Malam Agama

kemarin habis ngebaca ulang buku "Burung Berkicau"nya Anthony De mello, jadi pengin share di blog, apalagi belakangan berasa gak sih makin marak juga kerusuhan berbau SARA, gw jd ngerasa kita tuh bego kok gak sembuh2 masih aja ngeributin hal2 yang gak penting banget, padahal masih banyak hal penting lagi di dunia to make Peace and Prosperity.

PASAR MALAM AGAMA

Aku dan temanku pergi ke 'Pasar malam agama.' Bukan pasar dagang. Pasar agama. Tetapi persaingannya sama sengitnya, propagandanya pun sama hebatnya.

Di kios Yahudi kami mendapat selebaran yang mengatakan bahwa Tuhan itu Maha Pengasih dan bahwa bangsa Yahudi adalah umat pilihanNya. Ya, bangsa Yahudi. Tidak ada bangsa lain yang terpilih seperti bangsa Yahudi.

Di kios Islam kami mendengar, bahwa Allah itu Maha Penyayang dan Muhammad ialah nabiNya. Keselamatan diperoleh dengan mendengarkan Nabi Tuhan yang satu-satunya itu.

Di kios Kristen kami menemukan, bahwa Tuhan adalah Cinta dan bahwa di luar Gereja tidak ada keselamatan. Silahkan mengikuti Gereja Kudus jika tidak ingin mengambil risiko masuk neraka.

Di pintu keluar aku bertanya kepada temanku: 'Apakah pendapatmu tentang Tuhan?' Jawabnya: 'Rupanya Ia penipu, fanatik dan bengis.'

Sampai di rumah aku berkata kepada Tuhan: 'Bagaimana Engkau bisa tahan dengan hal seperti ini, Tuhan? Apakah Engkau tidak tahu, bahwa selama berabad-abad mereka memberi julukan jelek kepadaMu?'

Tuhan berkata: 'Bukan Aku yang mengadakan 'Pasar malam agama' itu. Aku bahkan merasa terlalu malu untuk mengunjunginya.'

Wealth Management (Another Point of View)

NELAYAN YANG PUAS

Usahawan kaya dari kota terkejut menjumpai nelayan di pantai sedang berbaring bermalas-malasan di samping perahunya, sambil mengisap rokok.

'Mengapa engkau tidak pergi menangkap ikan?' tanya usahawan itu.

'Karena ikan yang kutangkap telah menghasilkan cukup uang untuk makan hari ini,' jawab nelayan.

'Mengapa tidak kau tangkap lebih banyak lagi daripada yang kau perlukan?' tanya usahawan.

'Untuk apa?' nelayan balas beitanya.

'Engkau dapat mengumpulkan uang lebih banyak,' jawabnya. 'Dengan uang itu engkau dapat membeli motor tempel, sehingga engkau dapat melaut lebih jauh dan menangkap ikan lebih banyak. Kemudian engkau mempunyai cukup banyak uang untuk membeli pukat nilon. Itu akan menghasilkan ikan lebih banyak lagi, jadi juga uang lebih banyak lagi. Nah, segera uangmu cukup untuk membeli dua kapal ... bahkan mungkin sejumlah kapal. Lalu kau pun akan menjadi kaya seperti aku.'

'Selanjutnya aku mesti berbuat apa?' tanya si nelayan.

'Selanjutnya kau bisa beristirahat dan menikmati hidup,' kata si usahawan.

'Menurut pendapatmu, sekarang Ini aku sedang berbuat apa?' kata si nelayan puas.

Lebih bijaksana menjaga kemampuan untuk menikmati hidup seutuhnya daripada memupuk uang.

Lesson to Be Learnt

Kemarin pas lagi ngisi ulang tinta di X4 Rawamangun Gw baca di dinding ada proverb lumayan bagus, it says :
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A WINNER AND A LOOSER
"a Winner always sees an answer in every problem, a looser always sees a problem in every answer"

Tapi trus gw jadi inget tulisan lain, bener sih we have to solve a problem we face, BUT be sure there is a problem in a first place before working too hard to solve one.

LESSON TO BE LEARNT

One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off long the route. No problems for the first few stops - a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.

At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a  restler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at  the driver and said, "Big John  doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back. 

Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it.

The next day the same thing happened. Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth.
This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John has taking advantage of him.

Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, kungfu, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong; what's more, he felt really good about himself.

So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" the driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed, "And why not?"

With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a bus pass."

Moral of the story:

"Be sure there is a problem in the first place before working hard to solve one."

What makes person rich (a different point of view)

kemarin ada yang ngebahas about perception, trus jadi inget rich and poor itu juga soal perception, ada yang secara financial kaya bgt, tp tetep ngerasa kuraaaang terus. Ada yang hidupnnya kita liat pas2an tetapi dianya sendiri merasa cukup. Makanya pengin upload tulisan di bawah. Sebenernya pengin nulis tulisan tentang nelayan ama consultant economy, cuma detail ceritanya rada lupa jadi ilutrasinya tulisan ini aja deh

WHAT MAKES A PERSON RICH

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that  reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no  end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us; they have  friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would  happen  if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of  worrying about  what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Please pass this page on to friends and acquaintances to help them
refresh their perspective and appreciation.

Wording for Wedding Invitation

Dari pengalaman gw pas mo merit dulu, paling susah tuh nyari ide buat bikin undangan, ya wording-nya lah ya lay out and modelnya lah. So gw mo nulis beberapa wording yang bisa dipake buat wedding invitation (beberapa di antaranya udh gw pake di undangan gw dulu):

WORDING 1
Woman was created from thi rib of man
Not from His Head to above him
Nor from his feet to walk upon

But From his side to be equal
near his arm to be protected
and close to his heart to be loved
(Note ini gw pake di undangan)

WORDING 2
Love is patient,love is kind
It does not boat, it is no proud
it is not rude, it is not self-seeking
it is not easily angered
It keep no records of wrong
Love does not delight in evil
But rejoices with the truth
It always protects, always trusts
Always hopes, always preseveres
Love never fails
The Bible : 1 Corinthians
(note : ini gw pakai di suvenir)



WORDING 3
LOVE...
Give new gladness to the sunshine
New fragrance to the flower
New beauty to the earth
and new mistery...to life


WORDING 4
Rings of gold shall be exchanged with love
Our lives together shall be blessed from above
Uttering promises to be honest and true,
Reciting our vows, and saying 'I Do'
We'll begin our new life, as we share in this day

APA LAGI YA, masih banyak sih tp tiba2 otak gw lagi blank. Ntar deh ya, kalo udah inget gw sambung di Wording for Wedding Invitation part 2.

Love Chance and Choice

Still this is the most favorite poem I have, wanna share it with you...^_*

LOVE CHANCE AND CHOICE
 

When we meet the right person to love

When we’re at the right place at the right time

That’s a chance

 

When you meet someone you’re attracted to

That’s not a choice

That’s a chance

 

Being caught up in the moment (and there’s a lot of couple ho get together because of this)

is not a choice

that’s also a chance

 

The different is what happenes afterwards

When will you take that infatuation…that crush…that mind blowing attraction to the next level?

That’s when all sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate…

whether you want to make this into concrete relationship or just fling

If you decide to LOVE person, even with his faults…that’s not a CHANCE

That’s a CHOICE

 

When you choose to be with someone…nomatter what…that’s a CHOICE

 

Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter or richer

than your mate, and yet you decide to love your mate just the same…that’s a choice

Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes to us by CHANCE…

But true love that lasts is…truly a CHOICE

A choice that we make….

 

“Fate brings you together, but it’s still up up to you to make it happen…”

I do believe that soul mate do exist…

That there is truly someone made for you

But it’s still up to you to make the choice..if you’re going to do something about it…or not

We may meet our soulmate by CHANCE, but loving and staying with our soulmate is still a CHOICE we have to make…

 

We came to the world NOT by finding someone perfect to love…

BUT to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly…

 

CONCLUSION:

It is not the matter how to find someone perfect to love…but to love someone imperfect perfectly…

 

Love itself is a choice….

The Secret

Udah nonton the secret? Lagi booming loh (katanya). Gw beli DVD-nya (versi gak legal neh) pas bulan Maret 2007, dari sepupu my husband yang kebetukan jualan depan gereja (padahal DVD bajakan loh he..he..kok jualnya depan gereja), tp pas bulan itu the secret tuh blm booming kayak sekarang, so habis beli yach gw geletakin gitu aja di tpt CD orang belinya karena gak enak hati sepupu sendiri yang jualan (sorry ya Tok bukan gak iklas nih ^_*). Pas bulan August baru deh baca ulasannya sekilas di Tabloid GAya Hidup Sehat, langsung deh hbs itu gw tonton DVD-nya (after 5 months since I bought the DVD), bagus sih isinya tp berhubung gw udah tau (masksudnya sering baca buku2 psikologi yang isinya sama persis kayak yang diputer di The Secret itu) id gak terlalu amazed. Besoknya gw bawa tuh DVD ke kantor, kebetulan ada temen kantor yang hobby bahas tema2 kayak di The Secret itu, eh besoknya pas dia puter trus discuss ma gw kayaknya kok amazed bgt, gw jd bingung (hbs gw kok biasa aja yach he..he...) trus pas sering dibahas di milist-milist soal DVD itu (sampe ada seminarnya segala) gw jadi mikir apa gw yang aneh ya...kok gak feeling amazxed getu loh. Gak denk, masalahnya gw udah one step ahead (ceilee...) jd tu8h DVD baru direlease taon 2007 ini, tp gw dah baca inti-nya sejak jaman kuliah dulu.

Kebetulan yang nongol di The Secret itu orang Top and succeess semua sih, padahal gw lupa siapa namanya udh ngarang buku dengan topik yang sama long..long time ago, cm mungkin si author itu gak gitu terkenal.

Inti The Secret cuma 3
1. ASK (what you really wanted deep down in your heart)
2. BELIEVE (that you will receive whatever you ask, no matter when, and act like you've already receive it even it haven't came yet. But don't ever forget should be thankful in any situation you face in present time, and live will joy)
3. RECEIVE (and finally you will really receive what you ask, the universe 'the power of God' will deliver it to you in the right time in this case is time of God)

Sering denger kan proverb "What you think is what you got", nah inti the secret itu ya cuma itu. In example kalo kita ngadapin situasi yang gak enak, kita punya 2 pilihan :
- Mo terbawa arus and feeling bad all day --> gw jamin semua di hari itu bakal berakhir berantakan, karena kita menarik energi2 negativ
- Ato kita ignore aja hal2 gak enak itu and move on trough the day with Joy --> anggap aja hal gak enak yang kita alamin tuh (misal dimarahin bos) gak penting bgt and gak boleh mempengaruhi mood kita. Don't le anyone else ruin your day

So kalo kita berpikir hal2 yang baik yang membahagiakan, maka kita akan menarik hal2 yang sama (Joy, health, happiness, wealth) ke arah kita.
Sebaliknya kalo kita mikir hal2 yang negativ, hal2 yang buruk akan terus mengikuti. I've already proved that. For Example nih kalo gw habis ribut di rumah ama my husband, pasti siangnya segala sesuatu yang di kantor jadi gak beres (project telat lah, material hbs lah etc, which is kalo dilogika kan gak ada hubungannya my husband) some people may said that's coincidence, I'll said No, it's because -->cause and effect.

So because What You think is What You've Got, think only good things in your mind (well I know it must be difficult) and good things will come right trough you. And don't forget to be thankful for any of your condition. If You thank God for what you've already have, God will give you more, if you haven't thank HIM yet, how could you wish He'll give you more???

Gw ikut bgt salah satu dialog di The Secret, dibilang di situ kalo kita gak setuju perang jangan membuat gerakan/demonstrasi ANTI WAR. cause war will keep coming, cause our mind will focus on the word of "WAR" even there's a verb "ANTI" before.
Jadi kalo kita anti perang pas demo gunakan kata kebalikan dari WAR yaitu PEACE, so peace would come.

Pokoknya gitu deh, yang pengin nonton DVDnya boleh deh kontak gw

Marry the Right Person

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question.
She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?"
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?"
 In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"  
Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's  weighing on your mind.   Here's the answer.
EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse.
You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.  
Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience.
You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... Because it's happening TO YOU.  
People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my  feet." Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU. Falling is love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if  they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.   The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.   At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire That experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for  fulfillment.  
Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious.
But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.  
But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie Outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else.
You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better.
But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this): THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT  PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND. SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you.
You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out.
That's why we have the expression "the labor of  love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM.
You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work. Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery.
There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage. Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships.
Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable...you can "make" love. Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.
