It’s almost here. The day I dreaded is almost here.
My empty jar has not filled yet, a symphony of unfulfilled dreams that I dreamt for 10 long years. Since I was merely a soul I’m making a pledge to myself that I will live in NYC in my 25th birthday. And that day is just 10 days left and I’m standing here like a big loser in the door of disappointment.
New York City, a dream of a young boy somewhere in another part of the world without having any knowledge of the Big Apple himself. I never been there, doesn’t know anyone there but dare to take my dream as far as my mind could take me. People have told me so many stories relating to that particular city, where the people never sleeps, where the traffic is making your head explode in anger, where money is the most thing that matter and needed there, where your blood and sweat combine together to just live in that city.
All of my life I’m trying to make it simple, something I could hold on and running to. In my life there are only 3 places that most matter to me: NYC, Europe and Africa. I want to work my ass off in NYC, when my ambition fighting for place between my ego. As time goes by, youth no longer in my dictionary I dare to cross the land towards Europe. Visit Greece, Milan, Paris, Venice and Berlin just to enjoy my work and continue maintaining my business relation everywhere.
And the last resort of my tired old soul, Africa is my sanctuary. Where earth still untouched by the thickness of asphalt, where trees and mountains never changes into building and parking lot. I could hear the animals’ passes by the gate of my humble residence in the land of Africa. Goes fishing or croc hunting by the weekend is just a bit of paradise for me. In there I will surrender my heart beat and died peacefully whenever my time comes, coz I’m ready.
But before my mind wonder much further, I need to make a ground for my first place: NYC which I haven’t fulfilled yet. Such a disappointment for me, no one to blame but myself. I have work in every way to get myself to that city and nothing succeeded. Sometimes it just became a fairytale in a mist I could never have. Thus, I never lose hope and always believe in myself. Time might change, plan could alter, but the process is always as important as the result.
they follow me to my bed
they follow me to my sleep
they follow me to my grave
and if you let me die in peace
i will never haunt you away
my shadow will
Tika - Saddest Farewell
Risks
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure
But risks must be taken
because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing
The person who risks nothing,
does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow,
but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love or live.
Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves,
they have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.

You Can Be Whatever You Want To Be
There is inside you all of the potential to be whatever
you want to be
All of the energy to do whatever
you want to do.
Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
doing what you want to do,
and each day, take one step
towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem
too difficult to continue,
hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find
that you are the person
you dreamed of
doing what you wanted to do
simply because you had the courage.
To believe in your potential
and to hold on to your dream.

Life is about dreaming and putting it into reality. While the reality is not always parallel with the plan, but anyway it is life has to go on, and people has to take everything that happened now happily for the sake of their own life.
When people stop taking the present as what it is then they’ll lose their dream in the future.
Keep dreaming while working in the present. That’s what I call “Ora et Labora”
please help me
someday, you will get there, man. NY is still waiting.
1. Review Your Negative Beliefs About Dating:
Take a piece of paper and write out every limiting belief that you have about dating and challenge it. For example:
(limiting belief) ‘Meeting ‘the One’ should happen naturally.’ (challenge) ‘I have to work at school, finding a job and apartment, why not love?’
(limiting belief) ‘It is only fun to date someone who is really right for you.’ (challenge) ‘Meeting any new person can be fun with the right attitude.’
2. Figure Out How You Judge Yourself:
Dating often makes us feel miserable because we judge ourselves the whole time. You can hardly hear the other person because your mind chatter says, ‘If only I was thinner, I’d feel ready to date’ or ‘How can he like me if I know nothing about politics?’ Ask yourself why you are a good catch and begin to speak to yourself in a way that works. Everyone has things to work on … but there are so many wonderful things about you. Why not concentrate on that? It will help you stay present and positive.
3. Address Judgments that You Have About Your Date:
We often judge our date from the first minute: ‘Is he tall enough? Is he husband material?’ Notice when you start to do this, take a deep breath and allow yourself to be present and open to learning something new.
4. Observe Your Dating Expectations:
Observe how your dating expectations block you. Do you drive yourself crazy when he doesn’t call the next day and instead calls in two? Do you try to control every aspect of what he’ll do instead of letting the relationship unfold? Notice when you do this and be willing to be surprised and be present over time.
5. Develop a New Dating Context:
Most people consider dating a necessary misery. If expectations create outcomes, why not expect to have fun? Create a dating context that will serve you no matter what happens. For example, ‘I will learn something valuable from every person I meet.’ Then make it your business to do so.
6. Date Outside Your Comfort Zone:
Do you think that you will meet ‘the One’ by accident? Do you think that love should happen naturally? It is uncomfortable to take risks to reveal yourself in new situations, but dating requires some adventure. Perhaps you have gone to clubs but you have never tried Speed dating or online dating. This year it is time to think ‘outside the box’ and to be willing to try at least 5 new approaches to your dating life.
7. Take a Lesson From Everyone You Meet:
Often people think that dating is a waste of time when they do not meet ‘Mr. or Mrs. Right.’ You never know why you meet someone. A date could become a colleague, a friend, could teach you something about travel, business or yourself. Think of the world as one large adventure, where you can learn and grow. You are there anyway, so why not make the most of it? If you are clear about this context, your dating will transform you, from the inside-out, no matter who you meet.
how,can i meet a Mr.right for me…cause every time there’s a guy whom interested in meeting me i am the one who refuse to meet…how can i survive doing this…
