"Ultimately, this is not about solving your problems. It's about realizing that there are no problems. Only situations โ to be dealt with now, or to be left alone and accepted as part of the โisnessโ of the present moment until they change or can be dealt with."Eckhart Tolle

Truth
Another I can't stop reading this book by Mitch Albom. A little liar. This time, the book weaved many stories into one big theme: what is a lie, what is the truth? Can we say the truth all the time? Or to the far extreme, why do some people become a pathological liar? Is the … Continue reading Truth
A book
If I write a book... No... When I write a book, it will be about me. About what part of me to be specific? That's the question I'm toying with nowadays. I write.. in this blog... Mostly to channeling my emotions et al. But a post in LinkedIn sparks this idea inside me. You want … Continue reading A book
Weltanschauung
The book is altering my Weltanschauung ( world view). Probably the only history book that made me cry. After reading this book, I see Ompung Si Singamangaraja differently. I admire him completely.

Bubble
I carved a space for myself today. A Daniel kahneman book (admittedly way too heavy for my life situation now ๐ ) and a caramel Macchiato. I sat there in this cafรฉ, sipping my macchiato, and read without any intention to understand the cognitive dissonance explained by Mr. Kahneman ๐. I just let the words passed … Continue reading Bubble
Prosperity
For example, many people are waiting for prosperity. (But) It cannot come in the future. When you honor, acknowledge, and fully accept your present reality - where you are, who you are, what you are doing right now - when you fully accept what you have got, you are grateful for what you have got, … Continue reading Prosperity
