Want vs Need

All what you want is not all what you need. Most of us have known about it but we often forget about it at the moment we face it.

For example, when we want to have a very new model of mobile phone but we don't have the cash yet, we feel disappointing, sad, even angry to ourselves. Consciously, we know it rather ridiculous, because we already have well-functioned mobile phone, though it is not the newest model. So what?
Moreover, we could use our money for another need which necessary, or we may just save it for next time (future).

Sometimes it because a friend who shows us that he just buy a mobile phone, the newest, because he need it. Or, because the ad is so tempting. But, they're not the reasons indeed, as long as we could control our 'emotion'. Just ask to ourselves again and again (before we buy), do we really need it?

Not only for anything we could buy, but also for situation we face.
Sometimes, we could not accepted when bad things happen to us. If we get sick for example, it's not comfortable at all and we don't want to experience it (even for a moment), but maybe we need it, in order to appreciate the good thing, even it daily (usual).

Shortly, we may try to get whatever we want, with filtering question 'do we really need it?'. But, even if we don't get it, just be grateful, at least we already try. 
Then, for situation or condition we don't want to happen but come, just be grateful and be sure there should be something good after that.

Sleepy..., go away

Sleepy is common, it's human nature, especially at night and we've got tired after many activities all day. Actually, people have their own 'body alarm', so they know what time they have to eat or sleep. It's under control but it's already arranged, just follow. However, we still could change it once in time, if needed.

But, what if we get sleepy in the morning, during our activity, after we have sleep well at the night before, is it fine? Yeah, there's various reasons, some of them are below.

First, it may because we still tired. Second and mostly because we get bored.

Just remember a very happy activity, we will do it well, without sleepy, though we feel tired. Obviously, because it fun, we like to do it, we enjoy it.
Then another activity, for example our daily job, we do it as well as we could with yawn sometimes, cause we do it everyday, we bored, thus we're sleepy.
It's true, even coffee is helpless. Oh God, it's fine but annoyed.

So, why don't we try to imagine? It's not easy but may try to imagine any fun thing, which could stimulate our spirit to (at least) minimize 'the sleepy fever'. Or we may recall ourselves to the great result that we'd like to achieve. Surely, go outside for a while or eat some snack would also help throw sleepy away. And the best thing will come: it's important that we're not only do but also enjoy our activity then we could reach our goal nicely.
Last but not least, sleep well also important to get 'the sleepy fever' away.

Life is Beautiful (1)

I know it's cliche, so cliche, but it's also true indeed. I mean, if we just simply accepted life and enjoy it while never forget say thanks to God.

Seems easy but not really. As human, we always want more and more. Sometimes, we forget our capacity and fulfill ourselves with this and that, which actually not so important, not so needed, but only for satisfying our 'hand'. 

Well, in fact human never could be satisfied. Only if they thanks to God, than enough. That they key which often missed by us, God. Our Creator that know-comprehend ourselves more than any creature, anything, in this world. He never forget us. The vice-verse, human tends to remember God only if they need. Of course, it's not for all the people. Some of us always remember God, but there also people who never remember God in any condition. Ironic. It's become optional now.

However, it's not too late. At least, better late than never. As long as we have time, we still alive, meant that God loves us. He gives us opportunity to 'repair' ourselves, be better, to enjoy this beautiful life.
