Hujan Ikan Mengguyur Australia

saya dapet info ini dari situs Yahoo. tentang hujan ikan di slah satu kota di australia, unik memang, berikut cuplikan selengkapnya :

VIVAnews - Sepanjang akhir pekan lalu, penduduk suatu kota kecil di wilayah tandus Australia bagian utara mengalami berkah yang jarang terjadi. Kota mereka dilanda hujan ikan.

Laman harian The Telegraph mengungkapkan, dalam dua hari berturut-turut Kota Lajamanu di negara bagian Northern Territory kejatuhan banyak ekor ikan. Bersama dengan air hujan, ikan-ikan itu muncul begitu saja dari langit.

Sebagian besar ikan masih dalam keadaan hidup. Hujan ikan itu baru berhenti Senin, 1 Maret 2010.

Para pakar cuaca di Australia yakin bahwa ikan spangled perch, salah satu jenis ikan air tawar di Australia, tampaknya terhisap ke dalam badai. Mereka lalu dibawa angin kencang sebelum akhirnya berguguran di Lajamanu, kota yang jumlah penduduknya hanya 669 orang.

"Badai membawa ikan-ikan itu naik hingga ketinggian 40 ribu hingga 50 ribu kaki di udara," kata seorang pakar senior di Biro Meteorologi Australia, Mark Kersemakers. "Saat mereka ikut dalam 'sistem' badai, mereka membeku. Setelah beberapa waktu, mereka bebas dari badai," lanjut Kersemakers.

Ini merupakan kali ketiga dalam kurun waktu lebih dari 30 tahun di mana Lajamanu dilanda hujan ikan. Peristiwa serupa terjadi pada 1974 dan 2004.

"Biasanya, ikan ada di dalam air. Sekarang ikan-ikan itu jatuh dari langit. Bagaimana kalau sesuatu yang lebih besar jatuh dari langit?" kata Joe Ashley, warga berusia 55 tahun. "Bisa saja besok-besok ada buaya yang akan jatuh dari langit," lanjut Ashley.

Untuk Dia

"Dia, mempesona dalam diam, tinggi karena ingin merendah, terlihat karena bersembunyi, sempurna karena seadanya, berani karena memiliki rasa takut, anggun karena ilmunya, cantik karena amalnya" semoga Allah mempertemukan kita.....

"kerendahannya menunjukkan ketinggiannya, diamnya menunjukkan keluwesan perilaku dan keluasan ilmunya, terpandang karena tak ingin dipandang, kuat karena kelemahannya, darinya kumengerti betapa Allah sangat sayang kepada hamba-Nya, betapa ku ingin menemuinya, dalam ridho-Nya,sunnah Rasul-Nya, restu orang tuanya, ikhlas saudaranya"

A love inspects the distorted promise.

Live Your Life - How to Live Your Life by Changing Your Limiting Beliefs

Our beliefs are the foundation of who we are, the thoughts we think, what we say and how we behave and act.

What we believe within ourselves we create outside of ourselves. It has been said, our inner world creates our outer world.

If we have beliefs that support us then we will more than likely achieve what we want.

However, if we have beliefs that do not support us, when we have limiting beliefs, we then limit ourselves; we limit what we can have or achieve.

For you to live your life the way you want to you will have to identify those beliefs that limit you and then change them. Most of us are used to living our daily lives in a certain way, by default, and yet we are not happy with what we get and we do not know why we do not get the things we want.

Why not step out to get what you want?

Why not step out and identify your current limiting beliefs in a certain area and challenge them; change them one by one. Here is an example, what would happen if you did not have that morning coffee? What would happen if you wake up tomorrow morning and instead of going for that coffee you went for a glass of fruit juice?

How would that affect your day?

Would you have the jitters? Would you be saying: "Oh my God. I need that coffee to function. I must have my morning coffee!" You need that coffee because you made it a habit to have your morning coffee. You think you need it. You believe you need it to start off your day.

For you to live your life on your own terms, you have to start off by changing your routine, your habits.

This way you will change your limiting beliefs around coffee. You do not need that coffee to turbo-charge your day. You think you do and so you turned that thought into a belief.

By changing the things you believe, you can actually change your reality.

Spend some time looking your beliefs and ask yourself these two questions: "Why do I believe this belief?" Then ask: "Does this belief support me in getting the things I want in my life?" If the belief does not support you it is then sabotaging you. So now you have the opportunity to change that belief from being a limiting sabotaging one to one that is self-enhancing and supporting.

Discover why you don't have what you want and how to get it. Get your free e-book Establish Powerful Self-Enhancing Beliefs and eliminate those limiting beliefs that are holding you back.

Motivation Through Challenge

Motivation is the driving force to do anything in life. Different people feel motivated by different things. Therefore, the factors resulting in sufficient motivation are as diverse as there are number of people. Now, we shall examine just one factor that motivates most people. This is the factor of facing a challenge.

Challenge and motivation go hand in hand. Below are some points proving this -

A. In nature, life in any form faces challenges from all around. Staying alive, in reality, is an act of overcoming challenges every minute. The urge to survive is fueled when there is challenge to the very existence.
B. Like animals, humans when faced with a situation where their survival is at stake feel motivated to somehow overcome the challenge. Their innate instincts are sufficiently stimulated at such times of dire crises.
C. Mundane existence of day-to-day life makes your challenge facing abilities go weak. This also leads to your motivation levels going down.
D. If by any means you can arouse your challenge accepting ability, you can again feel a surge in your motivation levels.

Motivation through challenge can be achieved when you develop an ability to perceive every event that requires best performance from you to be a challenge to your identity. This may come across as a very strong statement to many. Hence, some clarifications are offered below -

1. Humans mostly act on learned behavior patterns called habits, which determine all your actions.
2. It is possible to learn new behavior patterns.
3. When you are faced with a challenge you feel motivated to overcome it.
4. It is possible to isolate any situation as challenging.
5. It is possible to tune your mind to interpret any situation demanding action as a challenge and feel sufficiently motivated to act.
6. Motivation is always at your disposal when you relate your circumstances with challenge. All you need to do is to feel the challenge of the situation and you feel motivated to do something about it.
7. Challenge initiates such a reaction in you because it arouses your intrinsic animal nature to survive under crisis.
8. It may not be necessary for the crisis to be huge or as something capable of threatening your identity. It may just be a regular office or domestic issue. But, if you learn to accept it as a challenge, you see that you feel motivated to do something about it.
9. You simply perceive any situation to be important enough to qualify as a crisis. This is not really deception because most situations have a capacity to develop into real crises if left unchecked.
10. All you are doing is tuning your brain to react well in advance before you actually face a bigger crisis.

When you learn to motivate yourself by accepting challenges, you become unstoppable. So, feel the challenge. It helps you to self-motivate. It is the best skill that you can develop.
