Keajaiban Yang Kurasakan

Semula kugenggam erat-erat sedikit yang aku punya: aku tak mau kehilangan lagi, aku tak mau merugi lagi, tak sudi patah hati atau tertipu lagi. Tapi, hidup dengan tangan mengepal kuat-kuat itu kok membuatku gelisah: sudah benarkah pikiran itu?

Pada suatu hari, mati-matian kulawan rasa takutku. Aku belajar lagi mempercayai manusia lain. Belajar lagi menumbuhkan empati dengan berbagi apa yang aku punya. Lalu, perlahan-lahan kubuka kepalanku, dan kujumput dan kusisihkan yang sedikit untuk berbagi kesempatan kepada manusia lain yang kutahu memang membutuhkan sedikit energi itu ...

Apa yang terjadi?
Tiba-tiba berbagai kebuntuan yang selama ini kualami mendadak mencair! Kesempatan emas, peluang yang menyenangkan, dan juga tak kalah pentingnya, pintu-pintu rezeki lainnya terbuka dengan mudahnya!

Aku tidak sedang berkhutbah atau berceramah, kawan. Hanya ingin berbagi pengalaman ajaib sebagai manusia biasa. Ketika kita akhirnya berani membuka kepalan tangan, ketika kita tidak pelit dengan apa yang kita punya apakah itu waktu, energi, kasih, simpati, pengetahuan, dan bahkan rezeki, semesta memutarnya kembali dan putarannya mampu mencairkan kebuntuan titik-titik energi lain di seputar hidup kita.

Aku bersaksi, hidup ini mudah dan indah bila kita memberi kesempatan kepada cinta untuk menang mengalahkan rasa takut!

Namaste!

15 Things Ambitious Girls Do A Little Bit Differently When They’re Dating

1. Their relationship will not take up 100% of their life, but they will put 100% into their relationship. It’s important to ambitious girls to have other priorities and things going on outside of their relationship. But that doesn’t mean they won’t give it their all when it comes to being happy with someone.

2. They’re not looking for a challenge, but they are looking for someone to challenge them. They’re not interested in the chase or winning the game. But they’re interested in being with someone who’s going to challenge them to be better and to grow every day.

3. Romance usually means something different to ambitious girls. They love dates and surprises just like the next girl. But in their minds, the most romantic thing in the world is being with someone who they can truly relate to, and someone who supports them in everything that they do.

4. They’re not afraid to tell you when they like you. If they think this thing has a chance, they’re not going to sit back and play coy and always wait for you to make the first move. They’re going to be straight-up with you, and you can do with that what you want.

5. They don’t play games. There’s no “wait two hours to text back” guidelines that they believe they have to follow. Ambitious girls do what they want when they want, because they don’t have time for arbitrary dating rules.

6. They’ll still have a lot of other things going on besides you. They take dating seriously. But they’re also passionate about their careers and friends and family and hobbies. When they’re dating, ambitious girls are looking for someone who’s not only going to support that, but someone who’s going to love them all the more for it.

7. They don’t hold it against you if you’re not interested. They know what they want, and if you’re not interested, they’re just happy that you’re not wasting any more of their time.

8. They’re not looking to be a trophy wife. The idea of playing backseat to their companion is nauseating to an ambitious girl. They’re looking for someone who is going to be their partner, not their leader.

9. Ambitious girls know that being tough and being emotional aren’t mutually exclusive. Ambitious girls are strong, confident, and intelligent. They know how to handle themselves. But they’re aware that that doesn’t mean they can’t be vulnerable or emotional. One of the reasons they feel comfortable dating is because they know how to be tough without feeling the need to apologize for having emotions.

10. A good conversation in their eyes doesn’t revolve around how much money you make or how successful you are. They’re more interested in hearing what makes you tick, what inspires you, what gets your blood flowing, and what you’re passionate about.

11. They know that sometimes they have a hard time opening up in the beginning. They’re used to being in control, so when they’re not, it’s a little disorienting. But they enjoy the challenge of trying to get better, so it’s something they’re always keen to work on.

12. They won’t ask you to choose between them and your other priorities, because they’re too busy having priorities of their own.

13. Ambitious girls are attracted to people who have goals and aspirations – people who want more than an average existence. They don’t need you to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 or an insanely successful entrepreneur. They just want to know you care about something that matters and are willing to work for it.

14. They’re not going to wait forever. They’ll let you know, one way or another, that they like you. They’re never in a rush to jump into a relationship, but they’re also practical about where they are in their lives and when it’s time to move on. If you like them, do something about it.

15. They’re less worried about a fairytale romance and more concerned with finding someone who will simply make them happy. They’re not preoccupied with a huge diamond ring, an over-the-top wedding, and a ridiculous love story they can tell their friends. They just want to be with someone who will love them for who they are, and never ask them to stop following their dreams.
