There are two things in my mind, or there were actually two e-mails coming to me. One was from the Bob Evers nieuwsbrief with an image of a locomotive. The other one was from the Marc and Angel site (http://www.marcandangel.com/2013/08/18/7-questions-you-are-too-scared-to-ask/#more-654) and from the last what struck me was the following:
Doing nothing gets you nothing. Doing the wrong things gets you the wrong things. Doing the same things gets you the same things. Your story only changes when you make changes.
What is bothering me with the last that it seems contradictory with the stuff i read from the ideas of the Law of Attraction. In my experience I hardly ever did ‘nothing’, although recently I’m trying that a bit as doing ‘something’ does not seem to produce the results I’m looking for. But that’s not the point, what’s bothering me is that this statement leaves out ‘The Universe’, ‘God’, ‘Infinite Intelligence’ that also does things when you don’t do anything, or don’t change anything, or do the same thing. Somehow the world is changing, so if you do the same thing the result may still be different. Anyhow, I don’t have all the answers, but I’m believing(?!) more and more that things mainly happen because i or you or someone else believe them to happen or possible to happen. So yes, maybe if you say something like “change your belief” then things will change. But changing doing things? Not sure. And I mean just physically doing.
And I’m not really in the mood writing something inspirational as i feel a bit stuck. A bit stuck myself and a bit stuck with this site, because indeed, writing a daily post i don’t really feel like writing in an inspirational way, like creating something inspiring doesn’t seem to work, at least not for me, even though from a Search Engine Optimization point of view I’m still writing content, which was also the reason to write a daily post: just create content, be found, get traffic, so at least we can analyze how to do the right thing.
Anyhow, it seems I’m impatient again, but yes, somehow I still hope someone will read my posts, each of them, either now or somewhere in the future. As most of them still came from the heart, were honest and an honest action to add something to the world, something to the site.
But what about the locomotive you may think, the one I put the image of. Well, I got it today in my e-mail from the Bob Evers newsgroup and it reminded me of the influence the book series with the same name probably has had on me, on my life. And when I think about the books I think about the writer, Willy van der Heide. And I feel a bit sad as in my opinion he never got the recognition I think he deserves. Imagine, his books are basically from the 1950’s and are still being read, and have always been read, by a group of aging youths like me. And they are children’s books. To me that’s quite an achievement. So hats of for Mr. Willy van der Heide. How bad and weird a person you even may have been.
