Pursuit of Happyness

It’s technically already NEW YEAR!!! So, let me just make some throwback? Can I?

First day in 2014, I and everybody else in the universe will hope the same thing, “Whatever may come, just hope we’re gonna have a great year ahead”. Whatever, right? Yeah everything that could happen, something we wish or not wish for, literally just happened. As for me, who knows that I could have another break up thing? Just on 30-ish page of a note life of 2014, when I was just preparing myself to welcome the new chapter of my life, the new semester, the new project as Kadept back then. It’s not a good start. But time is still ticking and it’s not gonna pause just because you are not ready yet. Everything happened not concerning with your readiness. You. As one of the society that have modern mind, I suppose, should take a leap at any cost. You don’t like it, but you still have to do it. Well, this is a tough life, people. World is not a wish granting factory.

Happiness is a kind of feel that anyone would wish to have in any way. I, myself describe it as simple things going around us every single day. Waking up without alarm, bathing with fresh water, having clothes to wear on, finding something to satisfy your appetite, having someone to talk to, having gadget to kill time, and in my case also, having the practical report and all my assignment done. Have you just be grateful for the life you have? In another side of the earth, maybe there’s someone or some people will kill for something to live the way you live your life.

I quote something: “Happiness is when you’re accepting the real thing and be grateful for it as the maturation process” There are people who hurt me. I forgive them for my happiness. Now, I understand that they are the same person as me who still searching for our own happiness. However, maybe they are failed at finding happiness so they tend to do bad things to others. I understand their situation, I forgive them. When I forgive them, it’s literally for myself, for my healthy, for my prosperity, and for my happy life.

I thank to Allah for giving me such a wonderful pain-killer friends. For their unending support and tease. I don’t know how could I be without them because I’m kinda ‘rantau’ kid that barely back to home. For everyone of you who read this, don’t take your friends for granted. I feel that I did it once when I was totally in love with my boyfriend and I was kinda leave my friend for a while. Because my life was only filled by my boyfriend. Practically that’s not healthy. So, I’m gonna backward my time for a minute just to remember about happy time I had with happy people in this happy life.

Studies show that taking note of what you're thankful for will increase your happiness levels immensely. By making a ritual of logging thankful thoughts, you're forcing yourself to solely concentrate on the positive aspects of your life. This activity is aimed to be uplifting and it takes less time than watching one episode of Glee. So why aren't we doing it more often? One explanation could be that we automatically default to the negative. Our brains have a natural negativity bias and we have to train them to focus on the good. Let’s be more grateful!

Just breathe. This may be the most basic yet most important thing you could tell yourself in the coming year. Pausing to breathe, to live in the moment, to let go of stress, is crucial to your well-being. If worries start to creep in, remind yourself to pause. You'll feel better for it.

The Fault in Our Stars: Lesson Learned

From the last post I’ve already told you about the story of TFIOS. I think that the story has deep meaning and one of the greatest love story that comes from book into screen. I don’t read much love stories, though, but I love to read. And after I read something that touch me and make me think differently, I like to talk and share it to people.

When I read the book, I had sentences that quote me.

“That’s the thing about pain. It demands to be felt”

I know most of people ever been in pain, because of words, actions, harassments, be cheated, even situations. Pain doesn’t come with no point and no reason. Perhaps you’re just keeping an evil inside so that evil coming back straight to you. It made by your certain act that unfair for other people who they might have a pray that you’re gonna get worse than they get (ini namanya suudzon, gaboleh kalo di agamaku, tapi terkadang bener loh kayak di sinetron). Or it can be you’re just being tested to be a better person, God is going to suffer you so that you get His point that your chosen path was wrong and He’s leading you to the right one through pain. It made me realize that we have to always see things positively. Be patient, pain is just a side effect of improving.

I knew it! However, it’s just reminding me. You don’t live alone. You can’t make people have the same perception as yours. You can’t make people understand the same as you. You can’t steer people to do the way you wanted. You can’t guarantee words that come out from them wouldn’t harm you. You can’t have something you really wanted only in one blink of the eyes. You have to work on those things. But, if it doesn’t work and your wish doesn’t granted, just leave it. What you did isn’t nothing, it’s a lesson. That’s also kind of learning.

“It’s a world of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.”

I’m young and free. I tried and am trying and will try many things which is not (will) always resulting well. I find sin in mine clearly, but have no regrets (I hope). The freedom of doing everything sometimes lead us wrong, but life doesn’t come with instructions though. So, that’s fine. We do -> we get wrong -> we learn, we do -> we get wrong -> we learn, we do -> we get wrong -> we learn, and it keeps going like that. The thing is, don’t let those do’s are the same case. It means you never learn.

“There’s no try. There’s only do”

It’s simple. Take action! Talk less do more. I pay attention to one of Augustus’s script. It says that he wants to leave a mark, his fear is oblivion. He wants the world to remember him even when he’s gone. It taught me that we need to do something to make the universe conscious that we are exist. It’s kindda motivate me. That’s good to make the world knows you, however, it’s useless when you don’t have special people around who love you. It’s better to be known, loved, and remembered deeply than widely.

It taught me that there’s no limit. We can change it with “some infinities are bigger than other infinities”. It’s actually more positive way of perspective. How we see little things become infinite, when we don’t limit them. There’s always bigger circle outside the circle you’re at. Try to think and act more than you can imagine. Frankly, the best or worse thing that could happen to you is those you never predicted before. Some way it’s a good thing, some way it’s not. I’m grateful with my infinities now, and I couldn’t wait for the bigger infinities I could have ahead.

“Funerals is not for the dead, it’s for the living”

I agree with this. Every single creature that God made in the universe are tend to die one time. The deaths are dead. The lives are left. Funerals only remind us how we spend our time in our lives, how useful we are as a human, and how well our preparation of receiving the calling of the death. Wow, sounds creepy. No. Deaths are not supposed to be feared. It supposed to be prepared.

“Nothing gold can stay”

Gold is precious and pretty. No pretty things happen forever. The world don’t orbit around you (Ain’t It Fun by Paramore). If we never lose the gold, then we never know how to appreciate the golden.

“The real heroes anyway aren’t the people doing things, the real heroes are the people noticing things, paying attention”

It’s simple. It realizes me that we have to notice things about our closest surrounding than already try to do big things that comes with nothing. It made us become someone people adore. 

Other quotes from TFIOS

Motivating indeed!

And the other after taste is, I LOVE THE CASTS! I finally realize the existence of Shailene and Ansel and how they match. How adorable, beautiful couple is just beautiful. The first thing that made me love about the movie is the cast. They’re so eye catching. Their chemistry are real, on and off the screen.

With the writer of TFIOS, John Green

ONE MORE THING! I have some lists of the soundtrack that ear catching enough in me, here they are:
1. Grouplove – Let Me In (Most suggested)
2. One Republic - What You Wanted
3. Ed Sheeran – All of The Stars
4. Boom Clap – Charli XCX
5. Jake Bugg - Simple As This
