a little note from Alanda

I was one of the loyal readers of the blog Alanda Kariza, admirers of one of  her books "Dream Catcher" and loving her thinking and idea about IYC (Indonesia Youth Conference) foundation .
I actually always spending my time in once a week  to steal time for read her blog. Hope that there is some lessons that I can get it. And today I read her blog with a tittle Little Notes Of Life. There is some lesson i get from her thinking, let me to rewrite in my blogs for remember a precious things that I forgot :

When God takes away something you (thought you) have, usually you are going to get something better. However, be grateful of what you have at the moment. Keep it. Protect it. Or you might end up losing something that matters the most in your life. (And try not to regret when that happens, especially when you have failed in protecting it. Let it wander to a better place, a place that would keep it safe.) 
Never fall in love in your sleep. What usually comes as a dream might suddenly show up as a nightmare. Since then, your sleeps and naps would never be the same anymore. Be in love while you are awake. Be in love knowing the risks you take, the ‘dangers’ you will face. Be in love with a person, not the idea of him/her that you have projected yourself. Be in love with a person, not the idea of him/her that he/she tries to project for you to believe in.
(Always) believe that there is probably a person out there who deserves to get the best of you(You might meet him/her soon). 
The only person in the world who could make you happy is yourself. Before others. (I usually compliment myself with ice creams too, though. Ice creams make me really happy.)

Most of the time, feeling exhausted also means that you have not make your life wasted for nothing. Keep going.
The worst feeling that you could ever possess to someone is the feeling of possessing him/her, as if that person is completely yours. Because you could never, ever “own” a person. You could only be happy when the person you choose to be with also chooses to be with you.
Words might hurt you, but words shouldn’t. (this one’s courtesy of Adriano Qalbi)
Last, but not least, Be happy. Because you only need yourself to be happy, and because you can. Allow yourself to be happy. With or without someone else. Isn’t it such a great feeling to realize that we can be happy on our own? As soon as we have allowed ourselves to be happy on our own, then we can be happy with another person.
So, thank you dear Alanda :)
