Dreaming

Reading and thinking more about the ideas of Lynn Grabhorn who says that the only thing you need to do is something like ‘be in connection with your core self’ and certainly don’t force things through ‘do, do, do’ and ‘push, push, push’ made me very confused as these ideas, based on the Law of Attraction, seem contrary to the ideas of Napoleon Hill. From Think and Grow Rich

I got the idea of ‘push, push, push’, mainly through the idea ‘persistence‘ that probably suits me as a person, but maybe I’m not interpreting persistence properly, maybe I’m interpreting it as a very stubborn person. So I’m pushing a lot and it doesn’t seem to work. if you follow my posts you may have noticed in between the lines that I kind of came to a total stand still. As no matter how ‘persistent‘ I was, nothing seems and seemed to work, so I kind of stopped recently. And that ‘nothing seems to work, no matter how much I push’ has been going on for quite a while now, maybe even most of my life.

So the last few days it slowly sank in that my interpretation of the ideas of Napoleon Hill may need some adjustment and that my understanding of persistence does not imply ‘push, push, push’, but that the persistence should be based on a desire, a dream, and not simply based on just ‘something I want’.

So what made me think more, well the part of the book Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting: The Power of Positive Feelings about step 2: identify what you DO want. And it made me think more and feel more that I HAVE STOPPED DREAMING, I have stopped wanting things. I’m just surviving and even barely surviving. So again, what hit me and how do I get out of this ‘survival mode’, or better stated, how do I come alive again? Because the whole thing adds up. I”m not dreaming anymore, I don’t have any desire anymore, everything ‘living’ has just been killed long time ago. And it seems I’m not alone, because in Think and Grow Rich as well as in the book of Lynn Grabhorn and maybe also what I see all around me is that most people are kind of ‘surviving’ and not ‘living’, not living their dream or dreams.

So what happened to us, to you, to me, to most of us on this planet earth? We’re dreamers, we’re creators, so why don’t we create? And how can this site contribute to that?

And while thinking I realize i already made an exercise about relighting your desire, so it’s also not a new subject in the site. Let’s see if we can do some more there, as desire or dream seems to be the main thing, the main driver for, well, success I guess.
