3 Things That I Learnt From Balinese People


There are three things that I learnt a lot from Balinese people.

The first was, no matter how difficult their situations are, culture and prayers to the higher self should never be weakened. Their dedications and commitments on taking care of their culture and beliefs are just amazing.

The second was, the way they see work and progress as the breath of life. Being able to work closely and intensely with Balinese artisans for few months, I could see how they took pride of their works. They don't hesitate to dedicate more time and efforts on creating details and delicate arts until they feel satisfied and find the perfection that they had in mind, making it a very enjoyable and satisfying experience for me since the closest to perfection is what I aim at my works as well.

The last one was, there is always time for everything. The economy in Bali is affected the most with no or less tourists around. Businesses were closed down, Kuta area had 95% businesses closed when I first arrived here. Most people would be on survival mode but I see almost no desperation. One stranger that I met on a warong said to me, “There is always a time for everything. When business was busy and blooming, it's time to put hardwork and efforts up. When the world needs time to heal like now, it is time for us to heal ourselves and learn to be better human, too.” And I love that very much.

Bali always reminded me to center myself, to connect deeper with the universe, and to respect people and the land where I stand.

Education & Detachment

"I believe that the true value of education lies not in the accumulation of knowledge, but rather in the cultivation of the ability to educate oneself. It is not a finite endpoint, but an ongoing process that requires self-reflection, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. The same goes to detachment; it is not solely about releasing attachments to things and people, but rather about cultivating the ability to recognize our attachments and the hold they have on us. It is not about becoming indifferent or apathetic towards the world around us. Rather, it is about the process of cultivating inner freedom, that requires ongoing practice and self-reflection, much like the process of education. Both education and detachment are important for us to master, for only when we feel enough about ourselves and stop making our lives as the center of the world, or the projects to fix, we can then learn more about the universe and how life actually works. And isn't that the greatest desire a...

A Perfectly Happy Artist

-When Beatrix Potter was a little girl, imagining stories about rabbits that wear smart jackets, she was a lonely child who needed to concoct some company. And when Monet paint his impressionistic water lilies, he was a man deeply dissatisfied with traditional views of nature. The inventions of writers and artists are forged through dissatisfaction. That discrepancy between the world we walk through and the world inside of us encourages some to try to build a bridge (in the shape of a book about talking bunnies or an impressionistic painting). A perfectly happy artist would be a failure.- "I disagree on the part of the perfectly happy artist, tho." "Oh why?" "It just doesn't exist so it won't ever fail." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following ...
