To Be Content

These few days I have stumbled upon the fact that free time could actually give me a lot of personal spaces in order to re-think and make me become fully concerning about what is needed to be done as a part of what we may call: 'self-care'. As I have read couple of good books, I just started realizing more that amongst of those important things in life, what matters most is the healthy being of the heart, mind and soul. 

Nowadays, it is inevitable that people have the tendency to measure the insides against someone else's outside, the thing which obstructs the process of receiving self-contentment. While we are virtually knowing those two things probably bear no resemblance, we keep on comparing ourselves to another. Sadly saying, we may fail to run and manifest the self-care or we may stay unhealthy. 

However, I also just found out the psychological concept by Carl Rogers known as the Fully Functioning Person (the FFP). According to Rogers, a fully functioning person is one who is in touch with his or her deepest and innermost feelings and desires. These individuals understand their own emotions and place a deep trust in their own instincts and urges (quoted from verywellmind). I feel like, personally, comprehending this concept will help us a lot in a term of maintaining the health or self-care inside (heart and mind), besides all the physical acts. 

From what I read, if I may conclude that the FFP don't ask for attention cause they have no need of it. For them, comparing and showing off ain't necessary since they live with and strongly hold their own thoughts, ideals also values. They do virtues not for the sake of other's recognition but simply to make them feel content. They are humble and fully aware. They don't stress. They quietly bloom and as the world spins, their redolence fill the whole and every corner possible. 

He is warm, gracious, happy and charming and is called a 'fully mature, fully integrated personality." 
As Brian Tracy stated on his book, "to reach this level is one of our most important goals."

Seseorang Harusnya Berpikir Sekaligus Merasa

Saya selalu percaya bahwa dunia ini terdiri dari dua komponen yang tidak bisa dipisahkan, sejak keduanya merupakan satu kesatuan yang ada dan tercipta serta saling melengkapi dalam sebuah lingkup ruang dan waktu yang dinamakan kehidupan. Komponen tersebut ialah pikiran dan perasaan. Di dunia pun, kita mengakui adanya keterberpihakan akan suatu hal yang membuat kita cenderung memiliki preferensi dalam arti menyukai maupun memilih yang satu lebih daripada yang lain, contohnya memilih perasaan daripada logika atau sebaliknya. Preferensi yang terlalu diyakini kadang menyebabkan kita hidup di dalam satu warna absolut, di mana hal lain yang tadinya kurang menjadi prioritas berubah menjadi sesuatu yang tidak diyakini lagi secara mutlak atau dikenal dengan ketiadaan. Seseorang akan meyakini hal yang satu benar kemudian hal yang lain salah. Secara pribadi saya pun meyakini sesuatu namun sedikit berbeda. Saya selalu memilih untuk berdiri di garis perbatasan, berkaca pada hasil pemikiran Hag...

Mount Gede / 2958mdpl 9 Agustus 2018 "Grid, bangun! Jadi muncak ngga?" ... Duh. YaTuhan, kangen kasur rumah, huhu. Padahal baru juga semalem di gunung. Punggung sakit banget.. Bilang kali ya udah gakuat jalan, tapi gaenak dan sayang udah capek-capek sampe sini. "Ini jam berapa?" "Setengah 5 pagi grid, yuk kalau jadi muncak biar gue bikinin sarapan dulu nih" Jam stengah 5? YaTuhan, baru juga gue jantungan gara-gara terpaksa trekking malem, mana pake 'digangguin' pas bikin tenda, sekarang muncak masih gelap gulita gini, setakut itu. Kalau ada yang 'nyolek-nyolek' ..?
