Personality

As you may know I, Guus, still don’t consider myself successful, although I am starting to see that I am and have been successful in many things. And one of the things I never wrote about, but that is often in my mind is the subject how successful people feel, feel themselves. Or how people who consider themselves successful feel themselves. Do they really feel different from me or you or not? I think so, I think many people I admire or consider successful feel better than I do. And I am starting to believe that many people around me feel better than I do. And that’s another subject I never wrote about. How does personality, how we are built, influence how happy or successful we are? Many of the people I consider successful are e.g. self help coaches of successful business people. And all those successful coaches look and talk the same: they have been poor and one day they decided they wanted to be successful or rich or something. And they did, they  managed, and that’s why I know them and that’s why they are rich. But it’s easy to tell other people what to do or how to get there if you’re already there. If you already made it. And those self help coaches like Tony Robbins, Bob Proctor and Esther Hicks often are very good talkers, very good ‘sales people’. And I’m quite sure that also successful business people like Richard Branson and Donald Trump have certain treats that makes them who they are.

And I know that i have certain treats that make me what I am. And I know I have done many of the things that are preached by those rich people. But I’m not there yet, so what’s going on? Can anybody become successful and rich? Somehow I believe yes and somehow I believe I’ll get out of this ‘rut’ and get my Pajero and will have enough money to live (not survive as I’m doing right now) and pay back my debts. But I still have no clue why and I’m still not fully sure why e.g. people leave me behind, don’t visit me or connect to me. That indeed must have something to do with ‘me’, but should I change something to change that? Or is all of this still ‘the secret’ that I didn’t find yet. And yes, I now know it’s not in hard work, because there have been periods where I have worked hard, very hard. And yes, that brought me quite some money, but deep down I didn’t feel happy as somehow I felt there was something ‘wrong’. And there was something wrong and I’m starting to know a bit what it was. And it’s not as wrong as it was anymore. But financially, businesswise for example I’m much worse off and that’s no fun as I feel like I can’t move anymore.

So maybe the next step is indeed something like mixing the two, the feeling good, the feeling myself AND the hard work, maybe my way now.
