For once, i can feel relieved to be pull out of Balikpapan.
25 March 2019, i remembered the first day i became a task force worker at Holding company, stationed at Jakarta.
It was a mix feeling stepping out of our comfort zone.
Balikpapan was a wonderful place to stay. I grew my small family, starting from just 2 youngsters living together, ended up having 4 beautiful children.
It was part of heaven. Small town near the beach, no traffic jam with plenty of quality time for the family.
Coming here can always able bringing back those memory. The smell of the sun in Saturday morning near the Kemala beach where white sand and shell clamp being collected by kiddos.
1 year a head. I feel that this city seems to loose it attaction. 3 March 2020, during a visit, i can't help to notice the place where we use to eat at Plaza Balikpapan are dissappeared. Shoping shops are also closing their doors.
There seem to be a constant draw back.
So, now my heart can stop mourning, for leaving this city.
Embarking a new journey, still together with the full pack. 1 wife, 4 children.
It probably time for me to release my self from the captive of the past, to a full set of opportunities.
Those who are stuck with their past, will surely have a hard time conquering their future.
I need to remember one thing. God plan will always be the best for us.
Even though it will be impossible to understand what God plan is, until it was revealed to us.
What i just need to do is to understand that the causality (God law) are being met. Do the best, grow capabilities, always learning, have open minded, never feel satisfied (in a good way), be humble (networking with anyone, learning from anyone), have integrity, dont be afraid to fail, challenge status quo, ask question(s), fulfill obligations to God, be kind to parent (and to siblings), love your family (wife and children) -schedule time with them, educate, and be their role model, etc.
By doing so, insya Allah, good things will come.
