Kebahagiaan = ANGKA ???

Selama ini kita selalu berkutat dengan angka, angka dalam dunia marketing selalu diterapkan untuk capai target. Jika tidak tercapai maka akan membuat kita merasa kalah, merasa down. Angka juga selalu menunjukkan tingkat kekayaan seseorang yang diterbitkan oleh majalah dunia sekelas Forbes. Lalu apa benar angka selalu membuat kita bahagia?. Seperti layaknya usia, umur semakin besar semakin dituntut sifat pendewasaan.

Saya melihat terkadang orang-orang terobsesi akan angka, seperti misalnya saya ingin penghasilan saya 1 juta US Dollar dalam 10 tahun ke depan. Yap target itu memang baik, membuat kita termotivasi untuk bergerak, untuk kerja keras. Tapi kadang itu membuat orang menghalalkan segala cara dan membuat depresi tersendiri. Tapi lebih baik fokus akan proses bukan pada hasil akhirnya. Karena saya cenderung percaya orang yang berorientasi pada proses dan melewatinya secara matang, maka hasilnya pun akan baik.

Kadang angka katakanlah uang, membuat harga diri bisa dibeli, dibeli dan digadaikan hanya karena harta. Apa sebegitu rendah jiwa kita sebagai manusia yang berakal melakukan hal-hal diluar logika, demi sebuah pengakuan atas prestise kehidupan sosial hanya karena angka. Apakah kita cukup bahagia dengan angka tinggi baik harta, atau jumlah saldo rekening tabungan atau investasi.

Memang dengan angka dan data semuanya bisa terukur dapat diprediksi, tapi letak kebahagiaan tak terukur karena angka. Berapa harta kita, berapa rumah yang dimiliki, berapa mobil yang berderet, dan berapa deposito yang berada di bank, bukan seberapa mahal pula pakaian, ataupun jam tangan yang kita punya. Bahagia itu ketika waktu menunjukkan angka kita berguna bagi orang lain, saat tertawa dan penuh canda dengan keluarga, saat kita bisa membagi waktu dan fokus antara pekerjaan, kehidupan sosial, dan kehidupan pribadi. Kebahagiaan itu adalah saat ini, saat sekarang....

Bahagialah dengan apa yang kau miliki saat ini dan Syukurilah.....

The Power Imbalance When a Diplomat Dates You

  I never imagined that I would find myself entangled in a relationship with a man who held the title of diplomat . There is something inherently powerful about that word — a sense of nobility, intelligence, and integrity. For someone like me, who has always prided herself on being independent, educated, and emotionally resilient, the connection initially felt affirming. I thought, perhaps, I had finally found someone who could walk beside me as an equal. But what I didn’t realize at the time was how easily a title can conceal deeper truths — emotional manipulation , power imbalances, and an unspoken hierarchy that slowly erodes one’s sense of reality. Our story began online, like many modern romances. Joel Runnels introduced himself as a diplomat stationed in Central Asia , working in human rights advocacy . From the beginning, our conversations were intense and intellectually stimulating. He spoke about his work with disabled communities, policy reform, and global diplomacy. The...

When He’s a Different Person Behind Closed Doors

  You’ve probably never heard of Joel Runnels PhD — but in certain circles in Minnesota, he’s considered a quiet hero. A legislative affairs director who has dedicated decades of his professional life to disability rights and working for Minnesota Council on Disability , Joel is the kind of man who shows up at public hearings, writes compassionate policy briefs, and speaks with moral authority about equity, justice, and the need to protect society’s most vulnerable. He works closely with the Deaf community , disabled children, and families who rely on state policy to survive. But I knew another Joel. One who existed far away from the polished conference tables and media headlines. One whose mask would fall the moment the doors closed. And I’m finally ready to talk about him. This isn’t an exposé for the sake of revenge. This is my truth — and it’s also a mirror. Because too often, the people we are told to admire and trust the most are the very ones causing silent destruction behin...

When the Mask Falls: What I Learned After Being Lied to, Cheated On, and Gaslighted by a Diplomat

There’s a unique kind of heartbreak that comes not just from personal betrayal, but from betrayal by someone the world sees as respectable — someone who commands admiration, speaks with poise, and lives behind the diplomatic veil of charm and composure. I never thought I would find myself entangled in the emotionally devastating web of deceit, manipulation, and betrayal — especially not with a man trained to handle international relations, negotiations, and cultural sensitivity. But behind the polished exterior, I discovered a pattern of behavior that had been repeated many times before. A man who had fathered five children with two different women, leaving behind broken trust, confusion, and emotional damage. This is not a story told out of bitterness. It is told out of truth, growth, and a deep desire to help others recognize warning signs — and to choose themselves, every single time. The Charisma Trap He was everything that looked good on paper: well-educated, articulate, intellige...
