Success and money

I’m starting to believe that I’m becoming very successful. So that’s a very good thing. And actually John pointed a bit in the direction how successful especially the project Inspiration for Success already is. And until now basically the project is mainly my personal achievement although the other team members also put some effort, next to being supportive.

And indeed, writing one post a day for this site plus adding quite some pages content over a period of four months I guess is quite some achievement I guess, even though I don’t feel it that way as I’d rather see success in the form of many visitors visiting the site and some money coming in. But again, achieving position number four in Google for the phrase ‘inspiration for success’ again is quite some achievement. And it actually took quite some persistence and belief to continue, as over time the site just went down and down in the Google rankings, not up, except for the last week or so. So during that time it was not easy to continue, not easy to believe that my way of on site optimization (also) works.

And my main personal achievements over time were that I actually quite disciplined even though I thought I was not. I ‘only’ skipped one day or so and in the end I decided to skip the Sundays for writing posts as I think people, including me, should also have a resting day.

But yes, it still feels a bit like ‘not enough’ yet for me as the site doesn’t have enough inspiring content yet, as the team is not contributing as I would want to and as I think they should and as there are hardly any visitors yet through search and there is no money coming in yet.

And that’s a subject I’ve been thinking about a lot recently (and also before all my life), money. Somehow money is a very weird thing having mostly a negative aura around it in the form of ‘not enough’ or ‘wrong’. And that’s of course not a good thing.

And I actually wanted to write more about that as also Abraham Hicks said some very useful things about that. But for today I think I have written enough here, so you’ll have to wait for a later day to read more about what I found about the subject ‘money’.

Change my vibration

After three days on working on the thirty day program from the Law of Attraction stuff I found myself this morning waking up in a very bad mood. And I know a bit where it comes from, but I don’t want to feel bad. Or do I?

I think this whole bad mood stuff started yesterday evening with the evening ritual before sleeping:

Segment intend the sleep and dream period.

Here is the way we would utilize our dreams most effectively. Before we go to sleep we would
say:

“I believe I will dream tonight. I will manifest while I sleep – so to speak. And if there is anything significant, I intend to recall it when I awaken. And then in the morning, the first thing that you do as soon as you are aware that you are back into physical consciousness, ask yourself: Did I dream? And if you did dream, then ask yourself even if its vague: Well, how did the dream feel? Because theres much more information coming to you in the way the dream feels than in the way it plays out.”

And I realized that I must have dreamed something ‘bad’, something ‘negative’. And yesterday I remembered I dreamed based on the evening ritual the night before. And that was weird as it was a long time ago I would remember dreams or having dreamed. So this program or these ideas do work, do have some kind of influence.

And I also found that this segment intending works. It gives you more control over situations, over how you feel about things.

So I even did it before writing this post. The process was something that I was feeling bad and wanted to change the feeling as I didn’t like the feeling. So my segment was ‘get myself together’. And the accomplishment was ‘write some kind of post to relax’. And the feeling I wanted to have was ‘tense but enthusiastic looking forward to feel happy and ok again’.

And imagine how I feel now? Indeed something like ‘tense, not so enthusiastic, but more happy and ok again’.

So I did change my vibration with deliberately creating a segment to do that.

Powerful, isn’t it? Maybe worth a try if you feel bad or want to change your feeling? As that’s what I’m starting to see more and more: we just want to feel good, that’s all.

Meaning

Leave a reply

At the beginning of Inspiration for Success I was researching for it and subscribed to several ‘self help’ type sites. One that stuck with me was and is the site of Morty Lefkoe and today I found a link to his post from yesterday. I like the ideas of Morty Lefkoe as it seems they are really true and can help people to, well, suffer less or lead more happy lives.

His post from today was about how humans suffer from giving meaning to events, not the events themselves. And just before there were two events I did not like, which was part of the reason why I clicked on the link in his e-mail. So I tried the suggestion of Morty Lefkoe to separate the events from the meaning I gave to them and it gave me some relief. I’m still a bit anxious though, as I did not feel OK today and those two little events I didn’t like upset me more than usual. So I’ll just do the exercise here below for my two events, for myself as to quiet my nerves, but also for you, so you’ll have a sample.

The first event was one of our dogs, Adam, crying, make a sound like having pain. And this has a long history, as Adam has had a very bad skin disease (mange) for years and we were never able to have it cured for as far as we know it’s a combination of his weak immune system together with the mites being resistant to treatment with Ivermectin, the best treatment we know about for this type of disease. So Adam is in very bad shape and continuously scratching and licking himself as the disease causes very bad itch. So the event is ‘Adam is crying because he has hurt himself again licking or something’. And the second event is my partner reminding me that he wants to euthanize Adam, which I am too scared of deciding on and doing. And this whole thing triggers an enormous amount of thoughts. So these thoughts create an awful lot of meaning to this simple event of a dog crying and make me suffer a lot. Thoughts like ‘I should have treated him better’ or ‘maybe my partner is right’. Also thoughts like ‘I should have found ways to earn more so we could have treated him’. So while writing this, the main meaning I give to this event is an enormous amount of guilt, an enormous amount of ‘should haves’.

And now I don’t know how to continue as I’m not writing anymore about separating the event of a dog crying from the meaning I gave to the event. So for those interested in that, better check site of Morty Lefkoe as he has very good ideas about ‘separating meaning from events’ and what I know him most for: getting rid of limiting beliefs.

So how to go from here, as I feel very anxious now and I’m not sure how to convert that into something inspiring for you, which is still my intention with this site, even with my blog items. And well, when I am in a state like this I often refer to the internet, just start searching for something like ‘how to turn anxiety into excitement’. So I just did and I found this, even though I remember some other post from a while ago I like better. Useful suggestions though and I like most the end of the post (she’s was in acting school): “Your audience wants you to succeed.”. How true is the last. No one wants another person to fail, everybody wants everybody else (also) to succeed.

And there are some other pages about this and, I think unfortunately, the page on ask-gratitude is a bit lower in the search results, but it gave me good tools before to turn my anxiety into excitement.

The main thing though with this kind of (negative) feelings is to start just accepting them, letting them be there. Keep in mind they’re just your feelings. And they’re yours, they’re you. And there is nothing wrong with you, you’re OK as you are, whatever situation or state you’re in.

No decision?

Everything seems to go better and better and still ‘little’ things can upset me very much, while I thought I could deal with ‘little’ things quite easily.

I have been out for a few days and just turned on the two computers that serve as my main servers in the house and the office. And it turned out that one of them, the one holding most of the data, didn’t start. It starts buzzing and it seems the disks and everything are running fine, but it just doesn’t ‘start’. And this made me very anxious (again). And especially the ‘being anxious’ annoys me as I know it’s not needed to be anxious as it’s actually not needed to be anxious about anything in life. Rationally of course.

And again, the whole thing goes back to fear, I think indeed the biggest enemy of success (and happiness). And it’s related enemy of success indecision.

You see, this whole computer thing can be easily solved, because I’m 99% sure that if I bring it to the computer shop tomorrow it will be fixed either tomorrow (Friday), probably otherwise Saturday and at the latest Monday. And most of the data I keep in duplicate, so I can do almost anything i want, even without this computer holding most of the data. So actually I already decided to just maybe first do a small check myself tomorrow morning and if it doesn’t work after just bring it to the shop. And it will be 99% sure back on Monday.

So what makes me anxious with this computer thing. Well, just thoughts like ‘it is my main server with most of my data so if it falls I may lose all this data’. And while writing this it seems this is even the biggest issue. So well, it could happen. But it’s not very likely. And even if it does happen, the data would probably still be there. And even if the data would be lost, I would still be able to work. So that’s all.

And yes, there are some more thoughts like that I’m just annoyed that I have to spend time on this while I have planned some other things. And that I probably need to pay the computer shop an outstanding amount which I don’t have the budget for right now.

And next to the anxiety about the above, the whole thing can be solved in one second by just deciding ‘I am going to check it tomorrow for maximum thirty minutes and if that doesn’t work I’ll bring it to the computer shop after lunch’. And then decide to leave it like that, finish.

And you know what’s the worst thing? I don’t even need that computer right now as the other does all the work I need to be done right now as I’m just using the internet and that’s just working. And I don’t really need that computer tomorrow as I’m quite sure all the work I want to do can just be done on the other computer.

So yes, all this anxiety and annoyance is just created by myself, by my own thoughts that trigger feelings and emotions. And as I said, the worst thing is that I even know that. And yes, I could just check that computer right now, but that just doesn’t make any sense and it would just be to ‘calm my mind’, not to really solve something.

So what’s inspiring about the above? Nothing I guess. And how is this related to success? Well, not really, at least not directly. But it is related to my mood and happiness as the whole thing makes me feel very stressed and basically makes me feel unhappy.

And as of now, now, now I can’t really figure out how to get rid of it except than realizing that this feeling is something I don’t want and try to figure out what I do want: feeling relaxed. And this helps right now, a bit.

So for you, well right now, just realize that above process may also apply to you, that your thoughts just can create anxiety and unhappiness while rationally that just doesn’t make any sense and is not needed. So just try to snap yourself out of it if you’re in it.

Things are falling into place

Things are falling into place. I ended up reading the last chapter of the part of Think and Grow Rich about the Power of the Master Mind. It seems all the answers to life, to success somehow are in that book, same as in many other books. It’s something like finding yourself, finding your destiny, finding your dreams. Then find people to share it with, the right people. Then think about how you can make that dream come true, make some kind of planning. And then put that plan into action.

But the whole thing works only from positive emotions, if you have conquered your fears, if you are able to stand on your own, believe in yourself, and in others. Allow yourself to be part of it, allow others to be part of it.

And yes, it takes thinking, a lot of thinking. I have been thinking a lot lately, and things are falling into place. And I still feel guilty, as my whole process took a lot of time, time I ‘should’ have spent on other things, useful things, things ‘they’ say I should do. And I feel guilty of ‘not taking action’, not ‘doing the right thing’. But somehow I’m starting to see that action without purpose, action without the right dream, action without a definite purpose, without desire, without planning, is useless, leads nowhere.

So my next question is how I can help you, use the thinking i did, use the experience I have, much of which is not pretty, looking back. And the site is called inspiration for success, as it started from me not being inspired, inspired by other people. So the site is planned to inspire, not planned as ‘self help’ site as there are already many very good sites on that. I think through there should be and there actually are already some ‘self help exercises‘ in the site, but I think we need to make sure they are inspiring, not just ‘exercises’.I k

So maybe for now, to inspire you, in my mind is something like, first go for your dream, find your destiny, find your definite purpose. And make sure you feel it, make sure it feels good for you, no matter what other people say, no matter what your limiting beliefs say. Don’t do anything else until you know deep inside it’s YOUR dream, your destiny, what YOU want to do in life.
