  Bab 1:  Jejak di Nebula Komet   Tahun 2242.  Kapten Elara Vance, seorang wanita tangguh dengan mata biru tajam dan rambut pirang yang selalu terikat rapi, memimpin pesawat eksplorasi Stardust.  Misi mereka:  menjelajahi nebula Komet, sebuah kawasan misterius di pinggiran galaksi Andromeda yang dikabarkan menyimpan rahasia kehidupan di luar bumi.  Namun, perjalanan mereka jauh dari kata mudah.  Keheningan angkasa, yang biasanya hanya diselingi dengungan mesin pesawat, kini dipenuhi ketegangan yang mencekam.   Pesawat Stardust telah berkeliaran selama berbulan-bulan di nebula tersebut.  Sensor mereka mendeteksi anomali energi yang tak terjelaskan, sinyal-sinyal aneh yang seakan berbisik dari kegelapan antarbintang.  Para kru, yang terdiri dari para ilmuwan dan teknisi terbaik di Bumi, mulai merasakan tekanan psikologis yang luar biasa.  Kesunyian angkasa yang luas dan tak berujung seakan menekan dada mereka, memicu rasa takut d...

What Scares You?

Fear can be a very powerful emotion that forms the bars of our emotional cages. Often we worry about things that haven't even happened yet! Control, perfectionism, worry, fear and anxiety are all cousins that feed each other.

When we are afraid, we try to control things and that can lead to perfectionism. If life isn't as "perfect" as we hoped it would be, then worry and anxiety can keep us awake at night and in a state of alert during our waking hours.

There are always things that generate fear but there are also things that can be done to reduce anxiety:
1. Media - Having twenty-four hour access to world news can be a threat to good mental health. Journalists used to report the news. I find that now they spin the news with opinion that is meant to attract attention through sensationalism, a situation that evokes negative emotions. The solution: Limit yourself!
2. Illness - The strange thing is that if you worry too much about your physical or mental health, you become more vulnerable. Do what you can to stay well but don't invest too much of your time thinking about the worst things that might happen.
3. Relationships - You do have control - but only about your own thoughts, feelings and actions. No matter how badly you want another person to change, you cannot orchestra that. Know your limits. You can encourage and offer ideas but the buck stops with the other person. Live and let live!
4. Weather - Good luck with that one! Just make sure that you don't make foolish decisions such as heading out into a storm or ignoring warnings given by experts who have accurate information about patterns that are threatening.
5. Finances - The formula is very simple. Spend less than your income. If you are not sure where to start or how to lay out a plan, book an appointment with a professional who will help you.
6. Career - When you are unhappy in your work it is time to consider your options. Often a short retraining program will open up a new and exciting opportunity for you. Don't just sit and wait for something to happen. Make it happen!
7. Social settings - When you avoid activities because you think that others will judge you - think again! Most people are so involved in their own lives and interests that they actually are not giving you much notice at all. Learning a few skills can build your confidence and help you to enjoy time with others.
8. Unfamiliar situations - The best way to deal with the unknown is to get good information. For example, if you are to appear in Court, do some research in advance. Visit the Court House and ask staff about expectations and procedures. If you need to travel to an unfamiliar area, consider your options and plan the route in advance. Choose the times when there will be less traffic. Be proactive rather than reactive.

The New Living translation of ancient scriptures offers us all good advice:
"Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise."

Really, it is all about focus. Focus on trouble and it is yours! Focus on positives and you win!

The choice is yours.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
