"This too shall pass" - story behind my tattoo

This too shall pass – Ini pun akan berlalu

Since I had a really scary experience a few months ago, I decided to immortalize the moment with a tattoo art .. Because.. Yes, I've been through it perfectly.

Several months ago I had to go through tremendous fear, where I had to fight a disease that could have changed my life completely. I had a very large cyst located close to my uterus. The size of my cyst is very large, abnormal, and even doctors have found that my cyst was terrible. He also told me the worst possibility that could happen to me.

Fear, anger, sadness, disappointment, resignation, were all in my mind.
I wanted to run, but did not know where to run.
I wanted to be angry, but to whom?
I wanted to express my fears, but I did not want to burden the people I love.


Somehow, suddenly appeared the courage to change things for the better, courage to recover, and put aside all my fears.

Yes, I did it.

Since then, I believe that all the fear, sadness, anger, tough times in life, will go away. Everything shall pass ...

But ...
I now realize that not only the more difficult moments in life that shall pass, but the happy moments too.
The sun will set
Day will be replaced by night
A wheel someday will be under
There will be times when happiness will change to grief.
Smile into tears
Laughter into a whimper

In life, do and give the best you can ..
Be grateful
Appreciate every moment you've been given, because one day all will be gone, so all ...

Youth, beauty, health, happiness .. shall pass...

Even "LIFE" shall pass ...

What you are experiencing at this time too, shall pass ...

Yes, this too shall pass…



Ada sebuah cerita...


"CINCIN"

Seorang raja meminta tukang emasnya yg sudah tua renta untuk menuliskan sesuatu di dalam cincinnya.

Raja berpesan, "Tuliskanlah sesuatu yg bisa kamu simpulkan dari seluruh pengalaman & perjalanan hidupmu, supaya apa yang kamu tuliskan bisa menjadi pelajaran untuk hidup saya".

Berbulan-bulan tukang emas yg tua itu membuat cincinnya, tetapi lebih sulit menuliskan apa yg penting di cincin emas yg kecil itu.

Akhirnya setelah berdoa & berpuasa, tukang emas itupun menyerahkan cincinnya pada sang raja.

Dan dengan tersenyum, sang raja membaca tulisan kecil di cincin itu, bunyinya...

"THIS TOO SHALL PASS"
(DAN INIPUN AKAN BERLALU)

Awalnya sang raja tidak terlalu paham dengan apa yg tertulis di sana. Tapi suatu ketika, tatkala menghadapi persoalan kerajaan yg pelik, akhirnya sang raja membaca tulisan di cincin itu & ia pun menjadi lebih tenang,
“This too shall pass”

Dan tatkala sang raja sedang bersenang-senang, ia pun tak sengaja membaca tulisan di cincin itu, lantas ia menjadi rendah hati kembali, karna sang raja menyadari bahwa itu pun akan berlalu.

Betul!

Ketika kita sedang mempunyai masalah besar ataupun sedang dalam kondisi terlalu gembira, ingatlah kalimat itu,
"Dan inipun akan berlalu."


Kalimat ini, kalau direnungkan dengan bijak akan mengantarkan diri kita pada keseimbangan hidup.

Tidak ada satupun yg abadi...

Jadi, ketika kita punya masalah, tidaklah perlu terlalu bersedih. Tatkala kita sedang senang, nikmatilah selagi kita bisa..

Ingatlah,
Apapun yg anda hadapi saat ini, semuanya akan berlalu.
Janganlah menunggu tua baru bertaubat
Karena kematian menjemput tidak mengenal waktu!

Janganlah menunggu kaya baru memberi,
Tapi memberilah maka kamu semakin kaya.

Have a nice day..

Happy Birthday My Precious Sister

My Dearest Sister,
There have been so many special, warm, loving and caring times we've shared, as well as going through some mighty rough times together too.

We've shared sweet and bitterness of caring for our Daddy, our Mama. You have been with me through surgery after surgery... holding my hand, caring for Rip and me, comforting me and boosting my courage. I drew strength from your being beside me when I needed you the most and I'm sure that neither Rip nor I could have come through those trials without you. I am so glad we didn't have to try. I consider you one of the greatest blessings in my life and I thank God for you.

Sis, we have shared many sorrows, but we have also shared many joys together, and I think there have been more good times than bad. That is what I want you to remember... the joys, and not the sorrows.

My Sister,You may be the younger one. But you’re wise beyond your years.
When I look to you, I look up, And I admire what I see.
A sister, a friend. So full of love, so full of strength.

What you may not know Is that I envy you. Your heart, your soul.
The way you set out to make all your dreams come true.

You often thank me for my support. What you don’t see Is that if it weren’t for you I would not be me.

I love you, my sister More than I could ever describe.
And I’m thankful everyday That you’re in my life.

Thank You for being my very precious, loving and caring Sister.
Happy Birthday!
