The First Post(s)

Orang bilang, the first step is the hardest.

I can't agree more. The first step of anything, termasuk menulis blog, adalah susah. Ini yang membuat gue sangat ingin tahu apa yang orang tulis di blog mereka pertama kalinya. Biasanya setiap melihat blog-blog dengan materi dan layout yang keren, gue selalu ngecek first postnya.

Dan setelah gue perhatikan, the first post biasanya simpel dan cenderung kaku. Tapi, pada tulisan-tulisan berikutnya bakal terlihat gimana perkembangan blog itu. Blog yang jadi inspirasi gue saat ini adalah A Cup Of Jo. Buka link-nya dan lihat betapa kreatifnya si Joanna Goddard. Sekarang take a look at her first post. Nah! Kelihatan kan bedanya. Meskipun ada materi yang mirip, tapi cara penyajian yang sekarang lebih menarik.

Ini ada beberapa contoh blog keren and their first post:
1. Blognya Trinity, The Naked Traveler now and then
4. Word Addict, blognya Tamara Putri dan tulisan pertamanya


Melihat the first post dari berbagai macam blog keren, membuat gue percaya akan kerja keras sebelum sukses. Para blogger itu tidak akan berhasil mempunyai blog yang keren kalau mereka tidak pernah mulai menulis apapun di blognya. Their first post is their first step.

Well, this is my first post.

Forgiveness

[This was written around 3 months ago.] For a past few months, I listened to a lot of Eckhart Tolle’s teachings. In one of his teachings, He shared the story of his father’s anger issue which made him had to go through a miserable and fearful childhood. He resented his father for that. Nonetheless, at one point of his life, Eckhart found the inner peace and forgiveness happened. He said, “It was as if he has never done anything. I realized he did what he did according to the way in which life has conditioned him.” Eckhart regarded his father as someone who was ‘as much as a victim as myself’.   It is a profound wisdom that we all actually have inside us. Those who hurt as, those who put us into what we think as a depressing life, is in fact as much as a victim as ourselves. What they did was wrong, but they are conditioned to choose what they chose to do. And we also need to remember that it is through them life teaches us to liberate ourselves from suffering. It is throu...

Is There a Way to Make Everyone Loves You?

I guess there is no way we can please everyone, let alone ask everyone to love us. You can still try to make people like you, though. You can be: a good listener a helpful friend a supportive family member a loving partner, but there is no guarantee that you will be loved by the deeds you have done. People are unconsciously conditioned to like or dislike certain things or other people. They have their own perception of what's good or bad, which could be quite different from your perception of good and bad. So... In the end, just be unapologetically you . Stay true to who you are. Know that whenever someone judges you, they actually judge their perception of you. Which most possibly is not the real you. Know that any concept that molds our worldly status is just, well... worldly. Ephemeral. Impermanent. Keep spreading love and kindness. And never let anyone or anything stops you from doing good. Because you can't be perfect for everyone, but you can always try to do your best ev...
