Inspiring Master Mind

Yes, I am starting to see how important it is to work in a group, to do something together. I was very down today and talking to a friend first and having a Master Mind Group meeting later today completely changed my outlook and my feeling.

Still, very scared though, as I hardly have any friends and only one Master Mind Group member. Still don’t fully get why, why it seems other people don’t like to be around me, or I often not seeking the company of other people.

Again, of course these are just thoughts, and thoughts can be changed, at least ‘they’ say. But not as easy as I think(!?). So maybe changing my thinking about changing thoughts first? Sorry, didn’t really mean to play with words, but it sounds a bit funny, don’t you think?

So maybe work on some exercise or exercises on changing thoughts. Sometimes I used tricks, like counting 10 times to 100 or somethng. Or repeating strange sets of words. Might try that a bit more and make a more serious exercise from that.

So, somehow still some kind of useful or inspiring quote, don’t you think?

Anger and inspiration

Leave a reply

Someone was just very angry with me. And as I mostly use the things that happen to me or around me for my daily post it is kind of logical to try to connect anger to inspiration. I feel still upset though, as the anger of the other party was very big, very bad. But I decided to stand my ground. As even though I had done something I could imagine the other party was upset about, angry about, I felt treated unfair.

And yes, even though I’m still upset I guess I did the right thing, standing my ground, thinking of a sentence in Think and Grow Rich: ‘why not put up a stiff fight…’, even though I did not really fight back as the other person was too upset and might have hurt me, as he actually started throwing things at me, damaging things.

Still, standing my ground also gives me a good feeling somewhere below feeling very upset. I feel some kind of power I did not give in to some demands that I thought were wrong. But the type of anger was that bad that I really had to think what to do, how to respond, as bad things might have happened.

So yes, anger can inspire I guess, but only after being upset and when you didn’t let you get dragged into the fight.

And finally I want to share a document here about ending fights: 12 steps to end the fights. Has nothing really to do with this site, but I think there are some very useful suggestions in there on how to deal with anger.

Strong or weak?

“Never let someone stop you from dreaming, because people who are too weak to follow their own dreams will always find a way to discourage yours.” – Mukasa Alanz

That’s the quote I found for today as I was searching for something like ‘negative’ and ‘quotes’ and ‘inspiration’ today. As someone was really negative to me, to what I do, what I think is right.

And I was very happy finding a positive e-mail regarding the quotes I send every day. Would be nice if that happened more, but it’s not like that yet.

It’s not easy, you know, starting a site, a project like this. I knew it would be hard to start this project, to get some visitors to the site, but i didn’t know it would be this hard. I know a bit how to promote a site, how to get it found in Google. But not a site like this, not a site that has quite some competition. Until now I got one Master Mind Group member, one payment of USD 1.00 from that same Master Mind Group member and only after I said that I expected at least him to also take action on the idea of a paid site. i got only two real comments on the posts and pages from the same person and further an awful lot of spam comments. And I can continue like this for a while.

So yes, persistence is one of the things you need to have to pull of some dream, go for some goal that’s above average.

So am I inspiring? No. Is the site inspiring? Not yet.

But I got one positive e-mail from someone I don’t know, one unexpected follower in Facebook and some followers in Facebook, so yes, little things can be inspiring.

And am I strong or weak? Not sure.

Could use a little inspiration myself

Well, biggest question is starting to be how would we inspire you, inspire you to be successful. That would start with something like what is success, or better, what is success for you?

So if you are looking to be inspired best click on the link what is success for you. If you just want to listen to me, to my story, just read on, as this is a blog post, my blog post, and they mostly are about me, about my life, about my experiences.

I got some comments about that, that most posts are about me, and i realized that is true. And I think I made a mistake there, as I was hoping and expecting that people would just read my stuff and be inspired by that. But I’m starting to realize that it’s not that simple. If you want to be the best site in the world on something, and that’s what I want this site to be, you’ll have to do work, do research, produce stuff that people can really use, stuff that helps them on their way to success, inspires them. And that may be fully different than what i think or know about success, motivation and inspiration. That may be fully different what I think inspiration is, than what inspires me. That may be fully different from what I think that success is or what motivates me.

So yes, quite some job to do, but learning and somehow also more motivated, as it’s starting to be real work now and not just hobby.

So what would inspire me now? Well, I guess what would inspire me at this moment would probably be more people visiting this site and even more, getting more comments on it, so I would feel more I’m working on something for other people, for the world..
