“Let’s Breathe…”
Morning guys. It’s 09.49 am now in Jakarta. Thirty minutes left before my office time. How’s your activity? Hope all goes well. Before going to shower, I decided to write this shit and I hope it will make my day -or yours.
I believe that every human being must have felt at the lowest point in his life. Feeling himself useless, stupid, and so on. Basically, it comes when we comparing ourself to others. I’ve been like that too, yes of course because I’m also human. But gradually I started to realize one thing, one thing that the things we don’t want are actually a process for us to become better versions of ourselves.
In facing these shit, I often to think, “Is it the reality that evil, or it’s just my misunderstanding mindset?”. Plato once said, “You can change the reality by changing your mindset”. Developing a superior mindset is not an overnight process. It could take years, if not decade. We must acknowledge this and grant some level of patience and grace, both to ourself and to others. Comparing ourself to others is a futile endeavor. There are many variables to compare. We have different life experiences, opportunities, talents, biology, family, relationships, setbacks, education, and so on. We are not comparable to anyone else. Everyone is on a different path but, hopefully, making progress in the right decision. Be merciful to others. Mind your own fucking business. The only thing we should compare is where we are now and where we were last year.
Don’t dodge the pain. To have a chance to grow, we must step into a different mindset. We have to learn how to be unwounded, and also learn how to stop wounding others. That requires some maturation, transcending problems, and forgiveness.

Take your time to think, reflect and move on. The universe didn’t create you just to thinking the same fucking thing. Revolution is not happen in your bed and pillow. Let’s breathe, and step up my friend…
