Drunk

Yes, I’m a little bit drunk. And that inspired me for today’s quote as sometimes it’s just good to let go, to not be too serious. And not too easy right now for me to write, to write something serious, as that’s what I intend of course to achieve with my daily posts: be serious, bring something good, something serious to the world.

But while writing now I feel like kind of a fool. Because is life just not to be just enjoyed and are we often not way too serious about it? And no, I certainly don’t want to promote being drunk every day or something, or be dependent on alcohol or something. But looking at myself now i often am way too serious, including with this site and my daily obligations about it, like sending an inspirational quote every day and writing a post every day. And the main reason for the last is even just to promote the site in Google, just to put content to get the site started. No, that’s not fully true. I also want to attract people in a similar situation as i was, and somehow still am.

But I did make progress and am even very successful in many areas of my life. And i’m even much more happy than before, even though my circumstances didn’t really change for the good or what i consider good or what I wanted, especially in terms of money, money that would give me some more freedom to do what I want, like travel, have a car, visit friends, invite friends. That kind of stuff. So on the contrary of having better circumstances in many ways i can confirm now that you indeed can be more happy independent of your circumstances. it’s just a choice.

So just choose to be happy. That’s all. And the rest will follow.

Working hard

Leave a reply

Yes, this is what struck me today, or actually yesterday when I already read it:

Haven’t you been mystified when you see people who seem to not work very hard at all that have so much wonderful stuff coming to them? And then, you see those that are working the hardest and they seem to be getting the least. Haven’t you ever wondered what was wrong with that? They just haven’t learned the leverage of aligning Energy. They are going about it the hard way. They are trying to use their action to create rather than their alignment of Energy. – Abraham Hicks

And it feels very familiar as I am the hard working type. I’m the one who tries to do everything with action, tries to control everything. And indeed, it doesn’t seem to work, because all my hard work didn’t bring me wealth or anything.

Still, I also don’t believe that no work at all, or no action at all would bring me or anyone else anywhere. But maybe that’s also exactly the point of what is stated above: action or hard work doesn’t bring you anywhere and that’s a fact as I did experience it and I’m still experiencing it.

But no action also doesn’t work I think. So what’s it all about? Inspired action? But then, what is inspired action and how would it be that different from any action? Like today, I worked on the site of one of my customers: Smaal Zwitserland. And i just enjoyed it, really. But I’m also tired and I worked hard and didn’t find time to e.g. post my blog items or work on this site or work on the plugins or work on sites of other customers. So was it inspired action? Does it bring me anywhere, anywhere near my dreams that are more of a better love and sex life, a well earned holiday, a car, the house being renovated and inviting friends and family and enjoy my time with them? There must be a way to combine, to have it all, but I still didn’t figure it out.

And yes, i did figure out and I am experiencing that everything indeed starts with being grateful, with being happy, with positive thinking. But that’s what I’m doing right now (or actually not right now as the above is a little like complaining), but yes, that’s what I’ve been doing the last few weeks. And things still don’t flow my way yet. And yes, my belief is not strong or not there at all for some things. But I do believe that I deserve more, that i can have more, that there is more.

So what to do? Or just be patient and let the Universe line up things? Just be patient, not expecting too much too soon? Yes, feels good indeed while writing this. So yes, let’s be patient and see.

Law of Attraction

Leave a reply

As you may know I’m doing the thirty day program from the Law of Attraction and today I read this as the text to start the day:

“If theres an opportunity to praise, Im going to praise. If theres an opportunity to criticize, I’m going to keep my mouth shut and try to meditate. If I feel like criticizing Ill say, here Kitty, Kitty, and Ill pet my cat til that feeling goes away. Within 30 days of mild effort, you can go from one of the most resistant people on the planet, to one of the least resistant people on the planet. And then those who are watching you will be amazed at the amount of manifestations that begin to occur in your physical experience.” – Abraham Hicks

And I’m starting to see what all these things mean, what the Law of Attraction or The Secret or Think and Grow Rich or all the other books and courses and philosophies for a better life are all about. So after waking up and realizing that I am starting to understand or now really understand what it’s all about. It’s indeed about just being happy, no matter what. Focusing on the positive, no matter what. And I never understood those things and it has been a long journey for me. But it is what this site is all about, trying to make you understand earlier, make you experience earlier that you can be happy, no matter what.

You see, it is so weird to see that my circumstances somehow have never been as bad as they are now, but then I’m just talking about my material circumstances, the amount of money I have as of the moment, or actually I feel I have, or actually don’t have. But I’m more happy than I have ever been, and somehow that’s indeed a choice and I have read about that many times and i never understood, but I’m starting to understand now. And I’m also starting to understand that it is indeed a ‘secret’ as I guess you have to experience it. It cannot be ‘taught’ and as I mentioned earlier, it has been a long journey for me, a journey of searching, something like lifelong searching. And yes, somehow in the back of my mind I’m still scared that I will lose this feeling, this happiness. But somehow I also know you cannot lose something like this.

So how will I share this? It all started a long time ago, I guess when I was a teenager, being gay, being lonely. And last year, about a year ago, I think that’s the point where things started to turn around. And indeed it was the lowest point of my life until then as I felt that I had lost everything, literally everything that was worth living for. So I was about to give up, commit suicide, but somehow that didn’t happen. And then things started to come to me, although even disguised in some very bad things, looking backwards. And it started with some books coming to me, especially the book Think and Grow Rich. And it started with my desire document. But it also started with some kind of decision from me, the decision that things would be different. That indeed as Napoleon Hill states, I would not accept circumstances to define my life, to define how things were going to be.

So yes, this journey is wonderful, as while writing things seem to start falling into place more and more. The things that seem to be contradictory are less contradictory than they appear to be or they are not contradictory at all.

And yes, I’m starting to understand more and more why all those people having these ‘self help type sites’ want to share this kind of experience as that’s what I also want to do now.

But I guess enough for now. Just maybe improve the page about the Law of Attraction with these thoughts, so it can be shared better with you, with people who are not yet where I am now in order to help them on their journey, hopefully increase the speed of their process so they/you can be happier earlier in your life than I am.

Making progress

2 Replies

Wow, it seems I’m really making progress. Today we had the first team meeting with the whole team together, even though we had to fall back to chat as some of our internet connections and/or Skype let us down a little bit. But amazing what you can do in 2013 in the virtual reality of internet connections, like building a virtual team. And you may know that ‘people’ and/or ‘team’ and/or ‘teamwork’ and/or ‘Master Mind‘ are not my strongest points, but today I was really proud of myself that, well, I, have somehow managed to build a team around our project Inspiration for Success.

And I’m starting to believe that patience may have been my biggest issue in cooperation with other people as I know I used to push hard and expected employees, team members and who else to put the same amount of effort and time as I do and expected them to be as intelligent as I am or maybe something like expected them to understand straight away what I want without properly explaining what I want or properly instructing them or give them time to think things over and let it sink in.

So things seem to sink in with my team members and they even start taking initiatives and generate ideas that i had never thought of or could have never thought of. So I may be ‘intelligent’, but other people have their own intelligence and I’m certainly not ‘all knowing’, which I think I presumed I was too much.

So wow, what a day, that started very, very bad as I had a very bad mood as i really didn’t know where to go anymore, but that’s another story.

So yes, I’m starting to become very happy with my team and I’m very proud of them! Thanks a lot for being with me, staying with me, Christian, John and Robin. Thanks for your patience, support and the work you all already have done. Thanks!

Only now

Yes, there is only now as I sent today in my daily quote e-mail:

“Nothing is more important than that I feel good. And I’m going to find ways today. I’m going to begin my day by meditating and bringing myself into alignment with my Source Energy. And as I move through the day, Im going to look for opportunities to appreciate, so that all day long Ill bring myself back into Source Energy.” – Abraham Hicks

and with my comment:

“Yeah, that’s what we all want, just feel good. That’s all. So better just do that, no matter what, as there is only the Now, only one Now, nothing else.”

And yes, I agree with all that and I guess it’s simple, not easy. And that’s what I’m using a lot lately, the phrase “It’s simple, not easy.” as that is often how things feel to me appear to be to me.

And I realize more and more that most things go right, that most things just work. And that we often mostly or only focus on the things that don’t work. So somehow I, and probably everybody else, or at least most people, are looking for a perfect world. And somehow, on a lower level, I know that our world is perfect as it just follows the laws of nature, the laws of the Universe.

So what is this that humans strive for ‘perfection’ on the material level. What is it that we everything material just want to work. Or maybe the other way around: why do the material things we build need maintenance, why do they break down. Or do things on the smaller scale, molecules and atoms and smaller, or on the larger scale, planets and stars, also break down, are they also ‘imperfect’. Or is it just the level we live our life on, the ‘scale’ we live our life on, that we see the imperfections. Because of course we can never see imperfections in a molecule or a star or even the moon, although with the moon we can see the craters and stuff with the naked eye as far as I know.

And I realize I’m writing quite a philosophical kind of post, which was not really my intention. And I’m not sure what’s the use or what’s the inspirational or success part.

Or is it just still with what I started with: let’s just be happy with what is, as there is nothing else. Let’s just feel good.
