Breakdown or breakthrough?

I’m in day 16 of my thirty day Law of Attraction program and it seems I’m attracting many things I don’t want. Our internet is not working properly and not only one connection but two, as we have two internet connections. This completely doesn’t make sense, although the cause and result may be related somehow, probably are. And we just found out our refrigerator doesn’t work properly anymore, or doesn’t work at all. Also doesn’t make sense as it’s not that old, something like five years, and in my experience a refrigerator lasts ten years or even many years more. We even have a small one that’s probably twenty years old.

So what does this all mean? Probably nothing, but it has a very bad effect on my mood, and my mood wasn’t that good already deep own as I still didn’t find work, or at least enough work to just support myself and our household doesn’t need that much money in Western standards. Something like EUR 1.000,= or USD 1,300.00 or so is enough for us to survive and even have things like a TV card for our satellite TV and some ‘rum and coke’ in the evening and such.

So I’m kind of lost what to do. And according to the Law of Attraction I probably shouldn’t do anything as I’m completely not inspired to do things. So maybe I just keep doing the wrong thing like trying to do it all myself and not trust ‘The Universe‘ or whatever.

So should I write this post? Not sure, but it still makes me feel successful if I do the tasks I intended to do and one of those is to write a daily post here, send an inspirational quote once a day except on Sunday, write my blessings in my Dutch blog and write a post there also.

And recently I basically finished all the things i intended to do for the day and I prefer to keep doing that as it also makes me feel kind of successful. But today that is or was not easy, as there were some internet related things that are very hard to finish without a decent internet connection, although I think I figured out now how to use one of our connections properly which is also why I am able to write this post now. And i also figured out I think why both connections don’t work or don’t work properly. It seems to be a combination of things starting with just bad wireless signals for both connections. And this may have just one cause, something like a change in the environment related to radio signals. That still doesn’t explain why our refrigerator broke down, but even that my be related to some kind of change in the environment (or my vibration of course if you think in terms of Law of Attraction.

Anyhow, so what’s inspiring about all this? I have no clue and mostly I just write what’s in my mind as you may know, although I do have some higher goals with this website. But what if there is just not enough money flowing your way like in my case? It’s just no fun. And I’ve figured out it has indeed nothing to do with working hard or something as I’ve worked hard most of my life. Working clever maybe, but I’m quite intelligent, so that also can’t be the thing that affects ‘enough’ money coming your way.

And I changed my mind about money recently, so I’m not really worried anymore. But my/our debts are getting bigger and bigger and as of the moment I think I even have to use my credit card limit to just pay our daily needs (which was in my mind for quite a while already, so in terms of Law of Attraction it may not be that weird what’s happening). But at least I’m not borrowing anymore from the place i borrowed before and which I think now was kind of a mistake even though I don’t know exactly how I should or could have done it differently, looking back.

And I’m getting a bit drunk now as I just started my second ‘rum-and-coke’, so I’m not sure if it’s still all interesting what I’m writing, but they say drunk people speak the truth, so I guess I do now more, even though normally I’m not really lying or something. Often I just don’t say things i maybe should say and I figured out that’s also kind of lying.

Mitsubishi Pajero So anyhow, I have no clue where to go from here financially and I really need some money for my daily needs and for the things I’m dreaming about and I think I (and Abraham Hicks) think I should have. I did plant a lot of seeds though, so I hope one or some of them will finally start to grow and also make it possible to at least support myself and my partner, pay back my loans (you have no clue how much I hate lending money) and finally get my Pajero, my cruise, some holiday and just some other enjoyable things.

Anyhow, I like to work and I know a lot about web programming and Internet Marketing, so you would really make me happy to put some work my way related to that. And in the end I don’t even mind if I get paid or not as I just like to do it, so if I can help you with that kind of stuff please let me know.

Ah, and I found something weird. I always try to serve my customers and do everything they want as I think that is how a business should work. So I presumed i could also find some people or businesses to do some job I need done. And I just can’t find anybody. It’s related to Search Engine Optimization and I get a million offers for that every day by e-mail. But when I send my little request they can’t do it. Weird.

So if you have something to do for me I can help you with, and yes, i also can’t do everything, like the job I tried to outsource, please let me know. To me it’s still better to do something for someone else than to work on my own projects like Real Estate Philippines that I started today, that don’t really have value, at least that’s what I think.

Enough for today I guess, and even if it’s not inspiring for you, writing all this made me feel better, so at least someone got better from it.

Thanks for reading!

Amazing and humble

Leave a reply

The last week or so I’ve seen several programs on TV, like on Discovery Channel and National Geographic what we have achieved as humanity, as humans. And the longer I think about it, the more stunned I am and also the smaller I feel. As how can one human imagine something like the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (in 1937!) or something like flying to the moon in 1969. Imagine arranging things like that without computers, or with the computer technology, or the level of technology anyhow in the sixties for the moon program.

And still, somehow these things started as a thought in the mind of one person. And yes, I know similar thoughts also often emerge all over the world for these kind of things, like I understand that printing presses for books were not invented by one person or in one place, but still, imagining something like the Golden Gate bridge in the nineteen thirties seems quite ahead of time. Although I saw that even in the nineteenth century people have built quite large bridges, mainly to accommodate train traffic.

And yes, I’m starting to feel humble, as I often I do things alone, like I’m good in programming and configuring computers. But still, I only program and am using programming languages and operating systems that have been built by thousands or even millions of people. As all builds on top of each other. I’m quite sure your newest computer or iPhone or tablet has some code in it that has been developed in the eighties, even though you may not believe that and I am not sure. But it’s quite likely as some code would still be kind of the same as thirty years ago.

So on one side I feel humble as I know that I am just one little human being in this world with like six billion people, like cells in a body where one is not that important. But somehow I also know that I am part of it and can make a difference, somehow. As some things are created in the mind of one man, even though it might be with the help of Infinite Intelligence.

Simple, but not always easy

Yeah, that’s what’s in my mind quite often lately: simple, but not easy. It seems that’s what life or achieving success in life or getting what you want is all about.

Like a daiy post on this site. And sending a quote daily. And writing another post on another site. And writing about my blessings daily. Simple, but not easy.

Like right now, tonight I decided to join the conversation with my partner and a friend who is visiting. And today I decided to finish some work on the Smaal Zwitserland site. So now here I am, still writing a quote, but a little drunk from the rum-and-coke that is the usual drink here in The Philippines.

And yes, simple, to still decide to write my posts and stuff. But easy? No, not really as I can’t think very well and am just kind of mechanically doing all those things.

So inspiring? Not sure. Successful? Sure, as I’m still writing my daily post and just sent my daily quote.

Pressure? Not really as I’m a bit drunk. Useful? Well, I guess that’s up to you to decide.

Good night!

Finding “The One”

Leave a reply

Today the subject in the thirty day Law of Attraction program was “Love” and it started with an advice on how to look for a partner and find one. And it reminded me of a training I once did where I found out that the main thing many, many people were looking for was a partner, a lover, a life partner. Actually one of those people was me. And the weird thing was that it was stated that for many people actively looking for a partner is something ‘not done’, some kind of taboo. And it felt like kind of a relief that the leaders of the course just stated something like, why not look for a partner actively. Why not really go for it, search for it, plan actions for it. Just go until you found one, especially if it’s the most important thing in your life. And that idea felt really weird for me as for most of the other participants.

And today I found Abraham Hicks said something kind of similar. And that similar was related to something that was also mentioned in the course: don’t look for a partner ‘directly’, like looking around and see if someone is attractive. Just go out and meet people, start talking to people, whether attractive or not, whether a potential partner or not. Just be open to it, just be ready for it, but don’t be desparate, don’t ‘desperately search’, as that is what most people would think when talking about ‘actively looking for a partner’.

And yes, have your wishlist, just write it down, the things you are looking for in a partner. Nothing wrong with that? If it’s the most important thing in your life, and I guess for most people it is, then better be serious about it, better define exactly what you want.

So also my training was about plans and deadlines and such, similar to the ideas in Think and Grow Rich. So I did. I did make my list, there was a deadline and there were actions and there was something like a Master Mind, not only the group, but also your ‘buddy’. Ah, and the last is something we want to use this site for, connecting people to inspire each other, either giving or receiving or both. We can already do if you just send an e-mail to info@inspiration-for-success.com, but we are planning some tools for that in the site.

So imagine, having a plan to find a partner and described exactly how you want him or her and a deadline. Never heard of that before and it was really weird doing it.

And you know what? Shortly after the course I did meet my life partner. And he did meet my requirements. And no, I didn’t meet the deadline, but looking back I could have, if I had just done one more thing. And no, it was not ‘forced’, it did not feel like forcing myself or my partner in this relationship. We just fell in love naturally and built our relationship naturally. And no, we didn’t meet accidentally, but somehow it was just ‘accidental’ it was him in the end.

So yes, if you want a partner (or a job or a business or whatever), just imagine it, write it down, make a plan and take action. But make sure it’s not ‘forced action’ as that doesn’t work. Just be active and open and it will come. I’m quite sure about that.

I think the thirty day program is not as accidental as I thought as the daily stuff seems to relate what is happening to many people and indeed might have happened to Esther Hicks when she made it, presuming she made the thirty day program.

A recent valuable suggestion was:

Well you reach for the thought that feels best of what youve got to work with.So the crazy out of your mind though doesnt feel good. The mad thought feels doesnt feel as good but the not so mad thought is the best you can do. So you reach for the thought that feels best where you are. – Abraham Hicks

And that’s a bit what I was encountering yesterday and more today. I was just down as things don’t yet turn out as I wanted or expected them to be. And I couldn’t find a way to be really happy, be really enthusiastic or something. So I didn’t really knew where to go and this text helps as it indicates quite logically that you can’t go from ‘completely unhappy, unsatisfied’ to ‘completely happy and satisfied’. So this thinking indeed gave me a bit of peace.

And it seems the most important thing indeed is to shift to the positive side, no matter what and no matter how little. And as you may know I’m still struggling with ‘positive’ and ‘negative’, but that’s also exactly what the teachings of Abraham Hicks say: there is no positive without negative. How can we ever know what we do want if we don’t know what we don’t want.

And indeed one more thing about these things, these teachings and that’s what I felt today. I indeed believe that it is of no use to do whatever you can think of if you do it from a negative mindset, although as of the moment I am still in quite a negative state of mind and am still writing this post.

But indeed, while writing now too long I feel writing further goes nowhere. So I’ll leave it with this, but I hope it is useful to you.
