I appreciated Lex, he's right: Seize The Day. You know, maybe lot of people only live on their fantasy and day dreaming.  Even whatever they said to plead their self about fantasies are: targets, goals, hope, planning, etc.

Supposedly if you're asking an optimistic scholar or a self-motivator, of course they would say, "You have to make planning for your life, you have to set your goals, in a short term, in 5 years ahead, 10 years ahead, bla bla bla..."

Right.. Now.. think different! Think outside the box...

Something different I got from Kang Dicky Zainal Arifin : "Don't live in your planning! Human don't plan and never be able to plan. Just maximize this day, because Life is Today, this moment, this second. Life is NOW, not tomorrow nor yesterday! But remember, the more wealth and prosperity you got, the more consequence and responsibility become harder for you to Allah in judgment day. "

Kang Dicky taught me that this is the Islamic way of thinking. "How could you persist your life in tomorrow, or even one hour ahead, if Allah doesn't allow you to have what you have planned before? People said, 'In one year I will have a car, in ten years I will built a house, in five years I'll become a CEO, etc' That are people said about planning. Of course they'll got them, But they are only the most valuable things they can get in the futures. The situation will be quietly different if they think and do Life is Today.  They might will have more than they had imagine before, they will have limousine, they will have buildings, or they'll become the owner of companies."

"Just maximize this day, this second, and this moment. If the present is good, the futures will be better by itself. Insya Allah (this mean if Allah permits it) ."

Well, what an enlightenment...

I can feel that, because sometime my fantasy hampered me to do my activities. Disturbing my concentration, setting myself being an unrealistic person. Damn sinetron (Indonesian soap-slapstick TV serials)..!

Right now, I began to treat myself for living in today not 'in the futures' nor yesterday. Because Life is Today, this moment, this second, so I have to maximize today. If the present is good, the futures will be better by itself.  that's all!

Want to try it too, anyone ?
