If you don't get what you want, you suffer;
if you get what you don't want, you suffer;
even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer
because you can't hold on to it forever.
Your mind is your predicament.
It wants to be free of change, free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death.
But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter
that reality.
"Way of the Peaceful Warrior", by Dan Millman
Barusan sempet baca sepenggal kalimat2 di atas. Setelah dirasa-rasain ada banyak benernya. Terutama dikaitkan dengan postingan tentang "kesuksesan".
Buat gue pribadi sangat setuju dengan penggalan tersebut. Meskipun kita ga pernah merasa cukup atas apa yang sudah kita raih, namun kita harus terus berjuang, untuk mendapatkan yang lebih, lebih dan lebih baik lagi..... tapi jangan lupa juga untuk sekedar berhenti, berisitirahat dan bersyukur atas keberhasilan yang sudah dicapai.
bener banget nih coenz.. masi nyambung sama topic kemaren yah, hehe..
ReplyDeletetapi mungkin paradigmanya bisa diubah jadi gini kira2:
if you don't get what you want, be happy
if you get what you don’t want, you still be happy;
and when you get exactly what you want, you will me more happy because you know all things in the world has his own limit, so you will enjoy your best when you still hold it.. ^^
