Progress?

I was in a very bad mood this morning, as I did not get exactly what I wanted and the discussion with my partner took much longer than I thought. But then I realized that I made progress, that we had gotten to some kind of compromise that may have been, is, half way.

So then I went to the city, still with this bad mood. And of course some things I wanted to do didn’t turn out as I wanted. So I kept spewing negative energy. But somehow Infinite Intelligence was helping me at some stage, after I kind of asked to help me, but that any outcome would be okay.

So somehow indeed we are not in control. Somehow we sometimes need to leave things to the Universe. And when we do that, things will fall easier into place than when we try to force them into place, as humans often try.

So thank you, Abraham Hicks, for letting me know.

Daily and drunk

Leave a reply

It is late and I am a little bit drunk and the electricity was just off and I was quite busy today, so not sure how to write anything inspiring here. So maybe I shouldn’t even try.

Still, I am more happy as my computer system is more stable now, as I was able to make the full 2 terabyte hard disk space available to my two main servers. And still a bit crazy to have such an elaborate system just for myself, but somehow It pays off, as I think I hardly ever lost any data, despite computer crashes like disk drives breaking down, which is the most common cause for data loss.

And yes, this latest crash cost me quite some movies, but that is private data. And with some data I am not fully sure if I have everything as I want it to have. But no, in the end I hardly ever lost anything, where the major loss are the movies I lost a few weeks ago with the latest crash. But even now, with one disk that fully failed and another one still kind of running, but starting to fail, I think it pays off to have everything in duplicate and have it setup the way I have it.

But then again, how to make other people make use of my knowledge to do all these things? As I think there are not so many people around who know how it all works and how to keep your data safe and available. And that is not easy, but kind of essential to any serious company.

But that’s another story for another time.

No water

Leave a reply

Today I am a bit annoyed as there is no water, still even up to now and it is almost four o’clock in the afternoon. And I am blaming the person in charge of repairing the water system. And I feel a bit guilty about that as according to the teachings of Abraham Hicks blaming does not work, even has the opposite effect. And yes, as the teachings of Abraham Hicks are very important to me I am a bit confused, a bit lost. As somehow yesterday and today things are not moving, somehow today and yesterday nothing seems to work. And in my experience it is the surrounding world that creates that, that is first, but according to Abraham Hicks it is the other way around, according to Abraham Hicks my annoyance comes first. However, in my mind is also the story about the access card, the story that you cannot go from very annoyed to very happy in one setting, that you can’t reach happiness in a state of being annoyed.

So yes, according to teachings of Abraham Hicks it would be best to see what the best feeling place would be related to where I can go right now. But it is kind of funny even, as while I am writing this, this idea just makes me more annoyed instead that it brings me to a better feeling place.

So how does this all work? I still have no clue, as today I also got a nice e-mail and my package from the US arrived with a computer add on card that will probably solve the computer problem I still have. And so also there must be something in the idea that it is best to first change your feeling, instead of first taking action. And that is also kind of how it feels to me now, because I have the feeling that whatever action I would take right now, it would not have the proper result, even though I was able to install the card in the computer and even though it seems to work.

So yes, I can still do things, but somehow I also have the feeling that I have to be very careful with what I am doing right now, as e.g. calling people or something might just not work.

So let’s indeed try to relax a bit and ignore all the things around me that are not to my liking, like the water that still does not work, meaning I can’t take a shower which means that my mood normally is bad. As my morning shower mostly makes me feel alive and makes me happy to start my day. And that didn’t happen for more than a month now, as also the water pressure has been lower than usual.

So yes, let’s try to be thankful that John John is repairing the water system and that I don’t have to do it myself. And that there was water in the shower anyhow the last few weeks, even though the pressure was a bit low.

I guess the last might be the starting point to get going.

Have a nice day!

Nice, a refund

Leave a reply

I was pleasantly surprised when I was offered a refund of the delivery cost of something I ordered from Amazon. And my concern finally even seemed to be related to something on my side, like someone not opening the gate for the person trying to deliver the package.

And this reminded me of what I heard about a major hotel chain as that hotel chain gave every employee an amount like USD 200.00 to deal with concerns of guests that need immediate attention. And I thought that type of trust towards guests, customers and staff was a very good idea. And apparently Amazon has something similar in place.

And yes, it had a very positive effect on me, on the conversation, as I was just given something, for free and unneeded, just because I took the time to report some issue I did not understand.

So yes, if I am ever in a position again to implement something like that in my company I will certainly do. Even though it is probably much harder here, in The Philippines, than in the western world. But I will certainly do.
