I was so happy today as a request from a customer gave me so much hope. It appeared there was finally light at the end of the tunnel with this customer and that he somehow still trusts me. And hope that finally my investments would pay off, the enormous amount of hours I put in this real estate stuff.
And then it appeared I was not the only one in the race, that I’m not there yet. And it put me down a lot, indeed. As Morty Lefkoe says, it was the meaning I gave to this little extra information. Or maybe also the meaning I gave to the first event, the request for a quote. I thought I was already there, that I’m just the best, and I know I am in this case.

So how to go on from here, with this post and with this project I so badly need. Indeed, it seem to be my emotions that are in the way. And I was reading again in Think and Grow Rich this morning. And I read more and more that it’s my weakness, our weaknesses that stand in the way towards success. So yes, maybe my biggest weakness is that I let my emotions, yes, let what?
But that was the weird thing and why I started this post. Napoleon Hill states hope as a positive emotion. And it worked, this hope I felt today from this simple request made me feel so good, made me feel alive, made me feel enthusiastic, it just made my day, it made me move, quite effortlessly, it also made me allow myself to take a break, a very well needed break, this time a real break.
And I was especially happy as this whole hope thing just made my day, confirming everything also about The Secret and such. So maybe better stay in the hope than in the fear, as I realize while writing this that what happened after was just fear.
Still, confusing, but something to think about more as it feels it is important to understand what happened just now and what’s the effect.
