Menata Otak dan Jiwa

Ikhlas adalah sebuah kata, dimana anak manusia semua menyadarinya. Selalu dikatakan di mulut, tetapi pada prakteknya amat sangat sulit untuk dilaksanakan. Berbicara mengenai ikhlas adalah perkara menerapkan keimanan jiwa. Apa yang membuat sulit?. Ego, ego manusia yang menyebabkan ikhlas sulit, dan perasaan tidak bisa menerima kenyataan. Sepenuhnya ikhlas adalah merupakan rasa sakit, memaafkan sepenuhnya, dan tidak pernah membahasnya lagi. Saya pun sampai detik ini belajar, dan masih harus banyak belajar ikhlas. Belajar ikhlas atas segala kegagalan studi, ikhlas atas segala kehilangan, atas segala realitas yang tidak sesuai kenyataan, dan segala hal yang berjalan tidak sesuai rencana.

Baru-baru ini saya bertukar pikiran dengan seorang kawan yang cukup sepuh, dan banyak makan asam garam kehidupan. It is called TOXIC MIND. Apa itu toxic mind? toxic mind adalah ketika pikiran kita terlalu berfokus akan sesuatu, sehingga mendrive atau mengarahkan kita kepada hal tersebut. Tetapi sesuatu hal tersebut adalah menyakitkan. Kita mengetahui itu salah, tetapi masih tetap dilakukan, sehingga bica mengacaukan sistem pemikiran kita, karena terlalu fokus dalam pencarian apa yang membuat kita sedih, kesal, marah. Seperti kita tahu makan junk food itu tidak sehat, tetapi masih makan junk food. Addicted like marijuana, sadar salah tapi masih terus dilakukan. Pengalihan itu yang dibutuhkan.

Pengalihan seperti apa yang kita butuhkan?. Pengalihan yang bisa membuat pikiran kita teralihkan dan melakukan hal lain, dibandingkan melakukan hal-hal yang tidak bermanfaat untuk kita. Kenapa manusia masih melakukan toxic mind?. Karena kita memiliki energi berlebih dan bingung dengan apa yang akan kita tuju. Mengubahnya bisa dengan memfokuskan apa yang ingin kita capai, dan membut set timeline untuk meraihnya.  Contohnya apa?. Misalnya kamu pengen hidup sehat coba untuk buat reguler work out ke gym, jaga pola makan. Atau kamu pengen sekolah ke luar negeri, coba browsing ke negara mana kamu pengen tuju, spesifik negaranya, cari universitasnya, cari profesornya, terus kontak kasih tahu rencana studi kamu, perhatiin persyaratannya apa aja. Then working on that requirement.

Toxic mind, i means. It is related with sincerity atau keikhlasan, belajar mengolah negative mind, menuju something yang lebih useful dan berguna. Kebalikan toxic min mungkin bisa disebut juga mind talking or self hypnotize. Somebody sometimes talk, oke arahin terhadap  hal yang pengen kamu capai. Be focus, sustain,  and retain. Then the result will be awesome. Bicara ikhlas juga, bicara pengendalian diri. Mengendalikan apa yang ingin kita lakukan, kita jalani, then there is the reality.

Yuk belajar ikhlas, usir toxic mind, then convert into positive mind.

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...
