Resolusi di Tahun Baru

Resolusi baru yang diiringi dengan motivasi baru. Namun tidak sedikit juga yang tidak memiliki motivasi untuk membuat resolusi baru.

Yak, segera tutup web ini dan mulai lah membuat resolusi baru dan kejar targetnya. Selamat Tahun Baru!

Kembalikan rasa berdaya Anda

Jeff adalah ahli terapi Joe. "Anda merasa lemah," begitu katanya. "Anda kehilangan semangat. Yang Anda perlukan adalah menemukan kembali rasa berdaya Anda." Pete adalah sahabat Joe. Mungkin Pete memikirkan hal yang sama, tetapi berbeda dalam mengungkapkannya pada Joe. Baru kali ini Joe merasa berada dalam posisi terbawah dalam seumur hidupnya. Dia terlalu bekerja keras, hingga sampai suatu saat, sang istri menggugat cerai. Ia kehilangan keluarga, puterinya dan kebahagiaanya. Jeff sebagai ahli terapi berusaha mengembalikan Joe. Pete sang sahabat juga berusaha membantu Joe recover. Tetapi Joe tetap terpuruk. Sampai suatu saat, Jeff mengatakan, "Rasa tidak berdaya ini disebabkan oleh wanita, karena saya menyarankan Anda untuk berkonsultasi dengan ahli terapi wanita." Joe merasa tertolak. Hingga suatu saat Joe melakukan aksi percobaan bunuh diri, 1 hal yang menggagalkannya, puterinya. Ingatan akan puterinya membuat aksi bunuh diri berakhir di kursi roda. Yah.....

All of us have the choice. To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all. Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the bes...

Change Begins With Choice

Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year. We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not need more answers or more time to think thin...
