Cerpen Lingkungan Kita Adalah Pikiran Kita

Suatu ketika seorang pria menelepon Norman Vincent Peale. Ia tampak sedih.Tidak ada lagi yang dimilikinya dalam hidup ini. Norman mengundang pria itu untuk datang ke kantornya.
“Semuanya telah hilang. Tak ada harapan lagi,” kata pria itu.
“Aku sekarang hidup dalam kegelapan yang amat dalam. Aku telah kehilangan hidup ini”.

Norman Vincent Peale, penulis buku “The Power of Positive Thinking”, tersenyum penuh simpati.
“Mari kita pelajari keadaan anda,” katanya Norman dengan lembut.

Pada selembar kertas ia menggambar sebuah garis lurus dari atas ke bawah tepat di tengah-tengah halaman. Ia menyarankan agar pada kolom kiri pria itu menuliskan apa-apa yang telah hilang dari hidupnya. Sedangkan pada kolom kanan, ia menulis apa-apa yang masih tersisa.
“Kita tak perlu mengisi kolom sebelah kanan,” kata pria itu tetap dalam kesedihan.
“Aku sudah tak punya apa-apa lagi.”
“Lalu kapan kau bercerai dari istrimu?” tanya Norman.
“Hei, apa maksudmu? Aku tidak bercerai dari istriku. Ia amat mencintaiku!”
“Kalau begitu bagus sekali,” sahut Norman penuh antusias.
“Mari kita catat itu sebagai nomor satu di kolom sebelah kanan “Istri yang amat mencintai”.
“Nah, sekarang kapan anakmu itu masuk penjara?”
“Anda ini konyol sekali. Tak ada anakku yang masuk penjara!”
“Bagus! Itu nomor dua untuk kolom sebelah kanan “Anak-anak tidak berada dalam penjara.” kata Norman sambil menuliskannya di atas kertas tadi.

Setelah beberapa pertanyaan dengan nada yang serupa, akhirnya pria itu menangkap apa maksud Norman dan tertawa pada diri sendiri.
“Menggelikan sekali. Betapa segala sesuatunya berubah ketika kita berpikir dengan cara seperti itu,” katanya.

Kata orang bijak, bagi hati yang sedih lagu yang riang pun terdengar memilukan. Sedangkan orang bijak lain berkata, sekali pikiran negatif terlintas di pikiran, duniapun akan terjungkir balik. Maka mulailah hari dengan selalu berfikir positif.

Tuliskanlah hal-hal positif yang Kita pernah dan sedang miliki dalam hidup ini, bebaskan pikiran-pikiran kita dari hal-hal negatif yang hanya akan menyedot energi negatif dari luar diri kita. Dengan berfikir positif kehidupan ini akan terasa amat indah dan tidaklah sekejam yang kita bayangkan. Objek-objek yang berada di sekitar kita akan sangatlah tergantung dari bagaimana cara kita memandang dan mempersepsikannya. Lingkungan Kita adalah Pikiran Kita. Lingkungan akan berbuat positif kepada Kita jika Kita mempersepsikannya baik, sebaliknya Lingkungan akan berbuat negatif kepada kita ketika kita mempersepsikan sebaliknya.

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
