Someone posted in Facebook the quote “You can’t control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen“. And I think that is just what I needed to hear. As indeed, it is so little what you can do alone, as one human being. The more I look at it, the more I see that it is really humanity, or maybe ‘life’ that makes things happen. And yes, we are each part of it and we each contribute something to it. But in the bigger picture it is just ‘life’. So relax, let’s relax.

Justice system and leadership
I can’t get enough of the movie Law Abiding Citizen. The story is so strong depicting the weaknesses (and strengths) of the (Western) justice system. And it is about leadership, about the Principles of Success, where Clyde Shelton does everything to make his point, fulfill his definite purpose of showing Nick Rice that justice is not about how the justice system works.
And especially the end is very strong, as somehow Nick Rice still sticks with not really violating the law by killing Clyde Shelton directly. So in the end everybody wins.
And yes, these type of movies, or any famous or successful movie, makes me still kind of jealous. As I have the feeling I never really accomplished anything ‘great’. And even though I am now working on making internet better for Filipino’s, even though my mindset has changed by focusing more on service and less on wanting to get rich myself, I still don’t know if my project will push through. As the longer I am working on it, the more I realize what an enormous task I have given myself, putting up a third internet service provider in The Philippines.
But maybe the movie Law Abiding Citizen gives some inspiration here, as the whole thing that Clyde Shelton pulls off is also ‘impossible’. And also a creating a movie, any movie, seems to be a similar thing, as I guess in the end often probably only one person has an idea and has to ‘pitch’ it to other people, induce other people to make it, have it made.
And yes, the last days, few weeks, have been a bit lonely, as many times before. As yes, I had quite some talks and my project is slowly growing, but I still don’t feel any real commitment from or real work done by other people. So how do you do that, that is still my biggest question, ‘induce’ other people as Napoleon Hill states it.
Maybe just continue the way I am and yes, asking the Universe, Infinite Intelligence, to support it, to help. As yes, lately I also encounter that one human is so limited in what is going to happen, that one human is only a means to get something done in the greater thing. So maybe I am just playing a role in this project and maybe the project is going to come true anyhow, regardless of my effort. But yes, maybe also because of my effort.
Best vibration possible
The last days, weeks, I am very tired. And no matter how much I try to feel good, it doesn’t really seem to result in inspired action, the thing I am looking for. And yes, somehow I have the feeling that I needed this, needed to stop, needed to relax. But losing time is my basic feeling, as indicated by Napoleon Hill. But yes, indeed, without inspired action nothing happens. And maybe indeed the Universe needs time to get into place. As I have some quite big plans and dreams and somehow I have the feeling this time I will succeed.
So maybe just pray for me.

It’s okay
The last one or two weeks I almost fully left my planning, my daily to-do list. And somehow it feels right, especially as I had not planned a lot, or at least that is what I thought.
And yes, somehow I still follow it. And yes, I will pick it up soon. But somehow I am still myself, my impulsive chaotic self that also knows what to do and not to do. And yes, I needed a break from that strict following of my planning, doing the things I planned to do every day.
And still, I have the feeling something changed, I changed. As somehow I still do the things I have planned to do. Except some things I didn’t do.
Sounds strange, but it feels right. And that’s what I learned from Abraham Hicks, that procrastination can be a very good thing. And I think it was, the last few days, weeks. And it will pass, and I will have learned, again.
