Think positive. Be Fearless.

Yesterday, I attended the meditation session in Gianyar and I met one participant who used to have job or business of snake in Australia. His name is Pinky. Soon all attendees who were there asked him some question about snake. Most of the questions were actually basic one, like how to manage if someone had bitten, how fast we should bring them to hospital, how to avoid have snake as visitor at our place, and also about some snakes which often “found” in Bali.

When one of attendee asked him about the snake which often came to her house, he was laughing and called that snake as a baby snake. The lady who asked him were confuse why he called it as baby snake as for her it a big one.

Then Pinky showed her the picture of giant python and other kind of snake, which on the picture carried by almost dozen people.

“This is a big snake. That is why I called it as baby compare this snake”, explained Pinky.

And as everyone asked about snake, I made a joke that it seemed I cant sleep to think a lot about snake.

The lady who asked about the snake looked at me and said, “ I don’t understand why so many people scared about snake when actually here dog could be more danger than snake because they have rabies which can kill us”. I grinned. Indeed in Bali, dog is almost everywhere. I only saw snake twice during years in Bali.

It was really interesting conversation as it actually describes how we are facing our problem or life in general.

Some people will be very easy panic or scare about certain things which for some other it was nothing. Are you the type of person who easy to be panic or fear easily? Let’s learn from Pinky why he is fearless about the snake…

That because he tried to understand well about the snake. He learned to identify various snakes; which one is danger, venomous or need to have specific treatment. He learned how to manage the risk facing the danger or venomous snakes, and also learned how to conquer the snake or protect himself without having to hurt them.

When you have a problem, dont run from it. Face it. You should try to find out what the real issue; what is the trigger and obstacle, what needs to be done and how to avoid not having more problems. Sort all the problems which need to be considered, which should be ignored. Do not waste your energy to small issue were actually meaningless.

I used to really scared about snake too. I used to even cant stand to see the picture of snake. It was because I had a lot of information about how danger snake without knowing further from other side. Until I met Ron Lilley an American reptile expert from Bali Snake Patrol. Same like Pinky, Ron also laughed when he saw I was so scared about snake. On that moment I was involved on TV program about natural remedy but I refused to be on the shooting location as I did not want to see Ron holding a snake in front of me. When we watched the result of shooting, everyone teased me as it was actually very small snake and not venomous at all.

Ron explained to me that what people did not know that snake in the fact also scared about human. Number of snake even powerless compare to human. They will not attack but as self defense. So why we have to be scared when we are not trying to bother them? After that, I felt “stronger” and less scared about snake as I also learn how to eliminate the possibility “meet’ with the snake.

Both Pinky and Ron showed us what we suppose trying to be a master on our lives. Believe and knowing that we have the strength to face the problem. When we realize that we have the power or strength, we will not be afraid of any risk as we know how to manage it. We will not have any problem when we try to stay away from it.

Pinky also answered my question whether any certain way or remedy which snake don’t like so we can’t avoid any snake coming. He said there is no “remedy” that we can use to for it. “It’s about vibration. You will not attract the snake coming if you don’t want they come”, said Pinky. That is exactly about our life too. Think positive. Be fearless when you know you are in the right path.
