Inspirational white heat

White heat desire, passion Just now I found a Retweet in my mailbox:

“To succeed… you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.” — Tony Dorsett.

And I was reading again about desire, passion in Think and Grow Rich earlier this morning:

You may as well know, right here, that you can never have riches in great quantities, unless you can work yourself into a white heat of desire for money, and actually believe you will possess it.

And lately I notice with myself that that’s lacking, that I don’t feel passion, I don’t feel desire. And I’m starting to realize more and more that that’s what it’s all about: passion and desire. Or actually I even know for sure, as in another area in my life I achieved a great success, the greatest success ever, and that one is based on passion, on something i really want, something I really wanted, and something I believed I could do, believed it could happen. But it did! It really did happen!

So about my/our sample goal, the one million dollar through this site is not really moving, or, while writing this, is it? I know I don’t really have the desire yet, but basically everything is in place: the goal is there, dates are there, the plan is there, a Master Mind is there, some desire is there and I do believe it can be done. So maybe the only thing missing is the white heat desire, the passion.

Or isn’t it? Does it just take time? As another quote from the book just before the other quote says:

One must realize that all who have accummulated great fortunes first did a certain amount of dreaming, hoping, wishing, desiring, and planning before they acquired money.

So I must be very close to get what I want, get what I, yes, desire, what I deserve. And just this action of writing helps me increase my belief, the belief that I can really do it.

So don’t give up, don’t give up hope, no matter how far you think you are from your goal. These type of things often just take time, which is not explicitly stated in the book(s), but I know now it just is.

So just be persistent, be patient! And you’ll get what you want and deserve!

Other white heat

I have often been wondering why this post scores relatively high in being found and having visitors as I once just wrote it related to inspiration and passion. So a few days ago I checked the internet and found that one of the reasons may be that there is movie called White Heat. And while checking right now there is a lot more called White Heat, even a relatively recent TV series. So more on that later.

Emotions are just emotions

Leave a reply

I was very surprised when I saw today’s quote in a website searching for a quote related to something like ‘inspiration and anger’::

We’re taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they’re of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration. – Alanis Morissette

It made me feel much more relaxed straight away as I realized that emotions are just emotions, they are not ‘good’ or ‘bad’, they just are, they just are expressions of what you are feeling, of what’s going on in you and/or around you.

And now I’m a bit lost on how to continue. Because this site is about Inspiration for Success and with what I know from the Principles of Success as stated by Napoleon Hill positive emotions lead to success, not negative emotions.

And I also prefer to experience positive emotions, not negative. And I guess most people do. But while writing this post I get more and more a weird feeling as you can only experience positive if you know the negative. So would it also be something like you can only experience a certain level of positive emotion if you also have experienced a same level of negative emotion? Is there some kind of balance there? And how would you measure that? Or has there been research done on these things?

Weird. And looking at myself my experience in life has been mainly negative. But that’s just my experience, how I experience life, how I look at my life. Comparing myself to others I guess, others in my surroundings, not others like ‘everybody in the world’. Or comparing my life to what I wanted, comparing it to what I expected.

Wow, I opened some subject here. Maybe it’s indeed all about how you look at things, like if a glass is half empty or half full. If you look at it objectively my life hasn’t been that bad. Yes, I had a lot of problems with work. And a lot of relationship issues. But thinking right now, these are exactly the things that are important to me. So if there is something wrong there I guess it gets magnified, maybe magnified beyond proportions.

And yes, I am very stubborn, want things my way. And I won’t give up. And these things of course also seem to create the problems. And keep me in situations I don’t like. But in the end I believe in persistence. And yes, in the end I still believe that my persistence will pay off, will lead me to success, to the success I’m looking for and by now also really need, really feel I deserve.

So in the end it seems indeed all about choice, choice to persist, choice to stick with what you’re ‘willing to give’ (from the six steps in the chapter desire in Think and Grow Rich). In expectation of success, in expectation to realize your dreams. And belief that you will get there.

Yes, life is weird, don’t you also think?

Doing what you like

I was searching for the daily quote and found this one:

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. – Wayne Dyer

And I can’t connect to it, I don’t recognize it. I have always done the things I love to do and until now it just didn’t work out. Me doing the things I love doesn’t seem to be experienced well by other people. And it didn’t bring me abundance, at least not in a relaxed way, so no, it didn’t.

And yes, I believe in the statement, that people should do what they love and that that would automatically convert into happiness, not only for the person himself, but also for others. But why doesn’t it seem to work for me?

So what about you, do you believe in the same thing? That everybody should do what he or she likes? And that that would make the world a better place? Or does it work for you? Or doesn’t it?

Please share below, I, and I guess many other people, are really interested in what you think or feel about it.

Inspiring Master Mind

Leave a reply

Yes, I am starting to see how important it is to work in a group, to do something together. I was very down today and talking to a friend first and having a Master Mind Group meeting later today completely changed my outlook and my feeling.

Still, very scared though, as I hardly have any friends and only one Master Mind Group member. Still don’t fully get why, why it seems other people don’t like to be around me, or I often not seeking the company of other people.

Again, of course these are just thoughts, and thoughts can be changed, at least ‘they’ say. But not as easy as I think(!?). So maybe changing my thinking about changing thoughts first? Sorry, didn’t really mean to play with words, but it sounds a bit funny, don’t you think?

So maybe work on some exercise or exercises on changing thoughts. Sometimes I used tricks, like counting 10 times to 100 or somethng. Or repeating strange sets of words. Might try that a bit more and make a more serious exercise from that.

So, somehow still some kind of useful or inspiring quote, don’t you think?

All kinds of things needed

Leave a reply

Wow, it seems I put myself some tasks. And yes, I still believe virtually anything can be done and you (and I) can make virtually any dream come true. But at the moment everything just seems work, work, work. And somehow I know this is just how it works, this is how to get there, step by step, one thing at the time, no matter how slow it seems to go. Although that reminds me that many things in my life also just ‘came to me’. Many things I wanted or wished for or had somewhere in my mind were suddenly just there, without me even realized that i ever really wanted it or something.

One sample is a car I once had. It was even quite some time after I acquired it that I realized that during childhood i had kind of dreamed of this kind of car. When I was a child I was completely crazy about cars, like reading car magazines and books and i was also subscribed to a weekly magazine. One weekly item in the magazine was a weekly car test report and one week the report was about a Saab 900 Turbo (or at least a Saab Turbo). The car was way beyond I could ever imagine for my dad to have, let alone me. Anyhow, years and years later I realized I drove in one, and that I owned it. So indeed, even your wildest dreams can come true, although there was one issue with the car. It was not the shiny brand new car from the test report, but a ten year old car that was at the end of its lifetime. So be careful what you wish for, but don’t forget that I really enjoyed the car and that I was amazed that I not only drove one, but even owned it.

And this is not the only thing that happened to me, that kind of ‘came to me’. Many of the things I had in mind when I was a boy or teenager I did and got in my life, also many things that appeared completely impossible.

So yes, I guess this post even inspires me now as I know that nature or the Universe or Infinite Intelligence or God or whatever name you have for the ‘higher power’ often, or maybe even always, just gives you what you want,although sometimes not in exactly the way you had imagined it.

So whenever you are tired or down or whatever, just know that despite of all the principles of success it is not only those principles, that to me often sound like hard work, but that often things also just ‘come to you’, without direct effort or action.

Or as I started with this post like feeling of needing all kinds of things, that those things might just be there already or on the way.
