Inside and Out

By
" I ain't no vision, I'm the girl who loves you inside and out, backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out. I love no other way, what are we gonna do if we lose that fire?"
~Feist
One of this Feist's songs is my favorite, tells me that to love someone is to love him in every aspect: his inside and also his outside. Loving means having passion, and to keep it lasting is burning that fire, burning the passion. No...no..no, I'm not talking about love, but the passion, even though for me it has a correlative between love and passion.

What is (are) your passion?

You know what? Sometimes is hard to find out our passion. Is that hard for you? For me is not that really, I've already known my passions, the hardest part is to live that passions true.

What passion means for you, as for me it's a bless god gives to everyone to live their life, to know what you live for. And how to keep your passion and to live that? Like Feist said, inside and out, loving your passion inside and outside, understanding it inside and outside, learning form the inside and outside.

Look inside yourself. Learn from it. Do not have fear of being considered that you're selfish or self-centered. If you do that you will be stopping yourself before you begin. Do whatever it takes to toss all you fear of failure, all your bad past, or your comfort zone. Trust me your comfort zone only makes you complacent. Learn from your own past failure, call upon your life experiences and make amazing connections between what you had done and what will you do.

Talk to your inner, follow your hunches, when you start to try, gather, and begin to do what you want to do, what your passion tells you. It is the time for you to open yourself fully to find your own understanding that makes your passion alive and reach whatever you want to reach is akin to a catharsis.

It doesn't mean you'll only listen to your heart, listen also to what others have to say. Like what I said before. Learn from the outside. Find others that can talk with, can listen to you without any jealousy or any competitive feeling. Other people can be your inspiration to live your passion. Or maybe you can learn from your idol, make them your role model (but the good ones of course), and acquire their experiences. These people are necessary for growing your true passion, so seek them out.

By looking both inside and outside for inspiration, I hope you can permeate your passion and it can also permeate you.


dedicated for Mae Alliswell and also for me too (people who live with or without passion) LOL

Jadikan Aku yang Kedua!

"Jadikan aku yang kedua... Buatlah diriku bahagia..." Lirik lagu Astrid ini tetiba terngiang-ngiang saat saya membaca status FB (anonim) yang di-share oleh teman saya. Baca deh... dan buat Ibu-Ibu yang anti poligami siap-siap geregetan yaaa... Terlepas ini postingan siapa, anonim sekalipun, saya cuma mau bilang, ke pasar gih Mbak, beli ketimun yang banyak. Oppss!! Sorry terdengar tidak senonoh dan hardcore yaaa, gimana nggak, kata-kata yang tertulis dalam statusnya juga seputar itu kan? "kenapa hanya tidur dipelukan satu istri saja?" Hey, menjadi seorang imam itu bukan hanya masalah di tempat tidur, dan statement itu lebih kepada nafsu bukan sunnah. Oke well, masalah nafsu, birahi, itu manusiawi dan sesuatu fitrah, jikaaa... hanya jika disampaikan dengan cara yang fitrah juga. Nafsu yang seperti ini selalu dikaitkan dengan sunnah, padahal (cmiiw, sunnah Nabi yang lain itu banyak keleeuuss, kalau memang tujuannya adalah mengikuti sunnah Nabi). Berpoligami t...

Pembuktian

By
Dear Taylor, Saya pernah begitu "young and naive" di fase-fase usia saya yang masih 20-25 tahun, saya selalu ingin membuktikan pada orang-orang di sekeliling saya bahwa saya bisa dan mampu. Bahwa saya juga pintar, bahwa saya juga diperhitungkan. Pada masa-masa itu saya seringkali sadar kalau saya sedang menggunakan topeng, topeng "bisa" topeng "sok pintar" topeng "berani" dan topeng-topeng lainnya. Saya sadar saya memakainya dan saya merasa kelelahan. Lama-kelamaan topengnya terasa begitu berat mencengkram wajah asli saya, sehingga saya tak lagi mengenali siapa saya sebenarnya dan apa yang saya mau. Selalu yang ada dipikiran saya saat itu adalah apa saya melakukannya dengan baik, atau apakah saya berhasil mendapatkan sesuatu yang orang anggap itu adalah hal yang bagus, apakah jika saya begini begitu sikap saya dapat diterima?  Lagi-dan lagi yang saya pikirkan selalu adalah pendapat orang lain, saya telah jahat pada diri saya sendiri dengan tidak ...
