Goals, Master Mind and belief

1 Reply

Today i had a discussion with one of the Master Mind group members for this site, for this project. Actually the discussion started a few days ago when he mentioned in an e-mail that my one million dollar goal is a personal goal. He suggested that each of the Master Mind Group members, or actually team members, should set his or her own goal in relation to the project as he didn’t feel connected with that goal. Or at least it seems it gives him a feeling like it’s too big, too ambitious in too short amount of time.

Actually I was a bit amazed, but also not really, that he came up with that issue now. I presumed he and his fellow team member fully understood what this site and related project is all about. But it seems he doesn’t or doesn’t yet or didn’t. And that he doesn’t know is of course also logical, as the whole project started for me around three quarters of a year ago, started with reading in and working from Think and Grow Rich, implementing and experiencing the principles of success from that book. And reading other books, and reading related sites and doing some exercises on related sites. And reading more books.

And then a few months ago I started this site, that basically started from another site a one or two months earlier. And then the sample goal evolved from all kinds of things, including the related plan.

So indeed, how can a team member that just joined a few weeks ago and didn’t find a lot of time yet to understand the project. Understanding like reading and understanding the many posts and pages on the site.

Anyhow, as you may know leadership (or Master Mind) is not my natural strength, but I’m very happy to have two team members already who support me and I hope I can induce them in the correct way to achieve the goals I have in mind. And be able to give them their one million dollar, even though the sample goal is not the main objective of this project and the site. Or is it? I think in a way it is, because the money is kind of the desire, my desire, and the giving is kind of the site and the one million dollar to the team members. But after this already long process about “success” it becomes clearer and clearer that the whole road to success is a, well, weird mix of giving, taking, receiving, manipulating, power, inducing and many more things. Maybe just summarized as leadership.

And again, I deviated a bit from the title as the article was meant to be something like how to make the Master Mind group believe in the goals so they will really start moving, doing things, really helping to push forward towards achieving the goals. And indeed, when that happens, I’m quite sure I may be amazed how big the effect could be as what Napoleon Hill also describes in Think and Grow Rich.

I gave so much

I just had a very weird experience as it seems that I relate my ‘I gave so much’ to something like ‘I gave so much in suffering’ or ‘I gave so much and did not receive enough in return’. So somehow I relate the ‘giving’ as mentioned in Think and Grow Rich to something very negative, to things like suffering or things I don’t like.

I guess the quote “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” from Martin Luther King, Jr. did something to me, as it seems I often tend to drive out darkness with darkness or hate with hate or anger with anger or dissatisfaction with dissatisfaction or stress with stress.

The last happened to me this morning (again?). I often feel stressed as there are a lot of things I feel I should do. The ‘actions’ Napoleon Hill talks about add even up to that. And I still don’t have a good plan, I’m not good at planning, at least that is how I feel. And this whole pile of things I want to do or have to do is often so big that I don’t know where to start anymore and just ‘wait’, feel kind of paralyzed, just think, without action. And then I start feeling guilty again of being paralyzed, not knowing what to do.

But in the meantime I also know I’m kind of doing the right thing, as this waiting and thinking probably in the end points me in the right direction and everyday at some point I start moving and do a lot. So again, it’s all in the mindset. Why should I feel guilty for being who I am? Why should I feel guilty needing some time in the morning to get going?

And I was shocked a few minutes ago that I didn’t put a post yesterday on the site while I was quite sure yesterday that I did, and I did work on the site yesterday quite a bit. Again, guilt came up, although it’s kind of OK with me now that I now skipped one day of posting. And there is still a lot in my mind to share, so I guess I will just make another post after this one.

So what’s the inspiring thing I can give you now, based on the above? What would I give myself? I guess I would tell myself that indeed maybe I should(?!) put some more time in planning and goal setting. In getting my desire clearer, making a clearer picture in my mind. And that it’s OK to be me, to take time to thing in the morning. To just feel what I feel in the morning.

So yes, just be you, just be yourself and be proud of it!

Inspirational or not? Some is certainly.
