Stop being Glass

A Sufi teacher approached a student when her face always looked glum lately.
"Why are you always sad, son? Not a lot of beautiful things in this world? Where did bersyukurmu face?" The Teacher asked.
"Master, lately my life full of problems. It's hard for me to smile. The problem comes as there is no end to," replied the young student.
The Master chuckled. "Son, take a glass of water and two handfuls of salt. Bring me here. Let's fix your mood."

The students also went quietly without spirit. He carried his teacher's request, then back again to bring the glasses and salt as requested.
"Try to take a handful of salt, and put into a glass of water," said the Master.
"After that you try drinking a little water."
The disciples did. Her face was now grinning from drinking salt water.
"How does it feel?" asked the Guru.
"Salty, and my stomach was so sick," replied the student with a face that was still grimacing.
The Teacher giggle see the faces of his pupils who winced salinity.
"Now you come with me." The Teacher brings students to a lake near
their place. "Take the remaining salt, and scatter into the lake." The students spread the remaining handful of salt into the lake, without speaking. Salty taste in his mouth has not gone away. He wants to spit out the salty taste of his mouth, but did not do. It seemed rude not spit in the face of Murshid, so he thought. "Now, let you drink the lake water," said the teacher while looking for a fairly flat stone for the occupation, right on the edge of the lake.
The students cupped his hands, taking water lake, and took it to his mouth and drank it.When cold water lakes and fresh running down his throat, the Guru asked him, "How does it feel?"
"Fresh, very fresh," the student said, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. Of course, the lake is derived from the flow of water source up there. And the water was flowing into the creek below. And certainly, the lake water also removes the remaining salty taste in his mouth.
"Terasakah taste of salt that you scatter that?"
"Not at all," said the student, taking water and drink it again. The teacher just smiled and watched, letting students drink the water of the lake until satisfied.
"Son," said the teacher after the students finished drinking. "All problems in life are like a handful of salt. Not less, not more. Only a handful of salt. Too many problems and suffering that must be experienced throughout your life that you've dikadar by God, according to you. The amount is fixed, that much-much for it, not reduced and not increased. Every human being is born into this world too. Not a single man, although he was a prophet, which is free from suffering and problems. "
The students fell silent, listening.
"But boy, 'salty taste' of the suffering experienced it depends on the amount of 'heart' (heart) that contain it. So dear, so do not feel pain, stop for a glass. Make it so the heart in your chest at the lake."

When you face a complex problem, it is easy to pin any blame on God. You will say, Why so many billions of people that you created, why should I who bear the brunt of this issue Lord? Yes, very easy to despair, and think like that. Therefore, when negative thoughts we are in power, we would think of attributing all problems to the Lord and then repent why it should happen to us.
But, believe me, there is always a positive thought that will offer an alternative that is more soothing our souls and make us thankful behind all the problems that afflict us.Grateful that all the problems that can confront us and make us more mature. In short, we will learn about life when we face the problem. 

Get a grip always, that basically every person has a problem, just levels and kinds are different. Someone, for example, are having problems with his family, while others are experiencing financial difficulties. But essentially the same, that is free from problems.Knowingly or not God actually created the problem in accordance with human capabilities. Thus, in dasarna depends on human beings, whether able to handle it or not. Even not only cope with, whether to change for the better or not. 

Addressing the problem or issue, every human being has two ways of responding, there are happy to accept it and some are desperate.
The wisest response is to accept the problem with the roomy chest, do not regret what has happened and always nurture the spirit. Truly, life is a gift, so try to accept gracefully and be happy even though life is sometimes complicated and difficult. Life is struggle, face it he could, find the solution if you have problems or issues. And if not, ask for assistance to the willing and able to solve our problems. 

Very true to say that someone has not tested if the problem has not been tripped.Happiness and true success really begins with the emergence of the problem, but can be overcome with good. We often hear that "behind the difficulties, there is relief".
Love, hate, sadness, and happiness, it all started from our own ideas and stimulation from outside our bodies. All of it goes into our brain which have levels of discretion to consider that the input is pleasant or not. 

No one is happy forever. And vice versa, no one is sad forever. However, there are people who most of his life he felt the happiness, though minimal possessions, let alone the throne. There is also a sense of endless grief, though he was wallowing in wealth and throne. Happy and sad we only actually only dipikiran. We are the ones who make it, would be sad or happy. Yes, sometimes a bit much sekitarlah situation affects our mood. There are people that when feelings of sadness came, she take it out to get closer to the religion, or listen to music, even watch and read funny stories. But, there are also out on negative things, I should not mention here. You can perform other kinds, such as by pleasing the people closest to, which basically do anything positive. Let us since the early-today-recognizing our identity., So that we can become a better person from now. 

One time, Mario Teguh, the motivator and consultant, get someone "vent" about bad experiences they experienced. The man told me that he felt betrayed by someone who has deceived all out. In short, in that connection, he abandoned and thrown away. His heart was sore and painful when remembering the event. Happiness until then disappeared into the earth. The man then asked Mario how to eliminate these feelings. 

The motivator plus konsultas then memberiman solution, that do not complain about the changes happening around us, and blame for our unhappiness. Mario said, "Remember that the main source of unhappiness was the rejection of what had happened. What can you do to the already mentioned 'earlier'? Life you are in a period called the 'now' and is happening now - that the only time that you can use to lead a happy change is now. " 

Yes, I agree with Mario that we are unable to change what has happened, but we still have complete control over what we can do to make anything that happens as an excuse for our best efforts. so, when this is to turn negative energy into positive energy.
Mario also said that if we require the happiness of a state, then we certainly will not be happy in another state. Because change is the name of our life's journey. Therefore we are able to make ourselves happy under any circumstances. 

Taste happy, happy, angry, disappointed is one sense that there is in our hearts. We would prefer if it is happy and feeling happy is not it? But if we still can be happy and pleased even though we had a bad incident? We must realize that we'll never be able to change events in accordance with our wishes. One is for sure, we can determine the sense that appears. That is called setting the liver. Very difficult indeed mempraktikannya, though also really easy.
childhood we have been accustomed to respond to the things that exist in accordance with our perception. We always think that when there is something beyond expectations, the most appropriate response is disappointed or angry. And when can get what we want then we will be pleased and happy. 

Real happiness and true peace does not depend on what happens outside us. The two are quite dependent on the circumstances in us, nor depend on what we have, who we are, our education, our office, and others. Happiness comes with closed eyes.Happiness came to anyone. It's just that sometimes happiness does not come free. We must pass the tests first, or also sometimes do we go after we can get it new. 

Therefore, there are two that we would get within reach of this life in which both must be accepted with sincerity, not only one of them. Two things that are happy and sad / disappointed. Be prepared to accept happiness, but also preparing to accept sorrow.Let us thank the sense that as the two sides of the coin are inseparable. Is not this world a lot of pairs, happiness and disappointment is one of them. Where there is happiness there must be disappointed. Likewise where there's disappointment there must be happiness. 

Happiness is really no need to wait. Taste it now. Happiness can we create this very moment. At first it seemed difficult and artificial. But over time you will get benefits.Feelings and your mind will be much more calm and peaceful. Is not the main purpose of our life is happiness? Whether it's happiness in the world and the Hereafter. Enjoy the happiness that now. Syukurilah our lives how one is, and no matter how much weight we live this life. That way of life we ​​continue to walk with a happy smile. 

Do you measure happiness with material or money? Beware not to get stuck by the apparent happiness. Due to the fact many people are wallowing in wealth rather they feel unhappy. Therefore, realize that happiness is not identical with the money.Happiness is on each circle: upper, middle, and bottom. 

I also realize that it is not easy to do when we are experiencing financial difficulties, we often overwritten profound sadness, a sudden life so hard. But, we must realize that we are the servants of God who has given a gift, that weighing whatever problems we face in accordance with the level that God has given to us. We must be sure of that. God does not give trouble than what we do not overcome. 

There was a good friend told me that once upon a time he wanted to commit suicide.The problem it faces, according to him, so heavy. Coupled with the situation the nation is worse off course in all things, especially in economy. He felt the rich get richer, and vice versa, the poor poorer. 

But as time went by, he started back to consciousness. He set his heart and mind again.And he got enlightenment that life is truly precious. Moreover, he said, when he saw a father who sells bread in the month of fasting dawn of time. He heard the traders who frequent the bread he bought when he was little, in order to continue living. Traders struggled to never give up despite increasingly severe living conditions with the trade of bread at the time the people were dawn.
He also admitted awakened when he saw the street sweeper that most fathers and mothers. Although their face looks tired and burnt by the sun, they continue to live it sincerely without complaining. Yes, they are true fighters. 

So, it would be shame if we are sad (too long) and falls into despair, let alone to want to commit suicide, because the people under our standard of living just so sincere lived his life. They worked hard and there was no time for moping and mourning his misery.Rather than force us out by the negative things that actually will gradually undermine the "world" we are valuable, better channel the positive energy we are without us knowing it will help us find happiness. Let us help others and be assured of our lives will be good also. No matter how small we are doing, you can be assured bawha it will have a great impact on us. 

There was a point when life is likened to seperto wheel, because we sometimes above, sometimes we are under. Sometimes we are sad but sometimes also pleased. When we are under and are always in rundung sad and suffering, be assured that our lives will change for the better. Of course, as long as we continue to strive together with a sincere prayer. Hopefully with the confidence that makes the attitude was always optimistic.Make your heart area of ​​the ocean, not just as narrow glasses.
