Change

I was very down today, and it started earlier this week when I gave in to my partner to invest again in some business venture of him, meaning we again have virtually nothing left, not even to pay our daily needs, while I just got going to stick with spending the money that is coming in. But the last decision was also kind of impossible to stick to anyhow as I decided to pay my health insurance and as basically not much money came in this month as a few customer projects have been delayed.

And somehow I see myself doing things over and over again, things that don’t seem to work. So I feel very tense and feel guilty about that, especially towards my partner, as I have the feeling he just wants me to be happy. But who doesn’t want to be happy?

And yes, some things are fun, like the progress of my new large crazy project, where I get some replies and there seem to be people supporting the idea. And my partner seems to be moving back to me, even though, again, there is money involved, money going to him, from me.

And today there was actually good news, as the damage related to a hard disk that broke down in one of my main computers was kind of limited, even though I can’t use a major database and I probably lost quite some movies.

So no real reason to feel so bad, except, yes, no money again. And actually that affects me a lot, as we can’t do shopping as usual, I can’t go out and indeed, we still don’t have a car or a new motorcycle, so it’s a bit of a hassle to go out, visit friends and such, even though as of the moment a friends car is available as she left it with my partner as she doesn’t need it right now.

Ah, yes, and nothing of the tricks I know, especially from Abraham Hicks, seems to work, like finding something to be happy about, finding something to be grateful about. But maybe indeed stick also with the idea that sometimes you are just limited in the areas of feeling range. Sometimes you are just stuck in an area where there is no real happiness, no real relaxation. Just tension and less tension. So maybe just look for the ‘less tension’.

Ah, and I didn’t even write the post I wanted to write. As I just wanted to write that I also need to change something with how to deal with Inspiration for Success, with this website. As I don’t feel I’m inspiring. And I’m certainly not inspired.

Stopping?

Somehow I am thinking about stopping writing every day, but somehow I also decided to continue to write every day. So I think the main issue is to make my posts, the things I write, interesting again, more interesting or just inspirational. As often I find myself, like now, late at night ‘having to’ write my daily posts, send the daily inspirational e-mail and update my gratitude diary. And this ‘have to’ often has nothing to do with writing for you, with the history and the purpose of this site, this blog.

So yes, while writing I know I am going to continue. As that’s just something I decided. But I have to find a way to make it more inspiring, for you as well as for me. As this is not really working, although I still believe that if I write every day for two years Google will start seeing this site as more serious. And that is also kind of the way I started to write, like ‘anything will do’ as long as it is original content and related to the site, to the subject. And in a way I still believe that is true, but I just want to do more and also enjoy it more.

But not easy with no real feedback (yet). And there may be various reasons for that, but I think still one of the reasons is that the site just doesn’t show up in Google enough yet. And another reason is that the content is just not interesting enough. And still another reason is that the tools are not good enough yet.

But  yes, the longer I work on this project, the more I admire all those people, all those bloggers who write all these serious blogs. And write every day, or every week, or at least regularly. Because it is not easy to do that, even though right now I know I have developed the habit of writing every day, here and in my more personal Dutch blog. And the more I am working on the tools, or not working that much on them, the more I realize that also that is not as easy as I thought As today I had planned some small extensions, but it was late and I was only able to work very shortly on it. And I made hardly any progress, even though I worked in my normal working speed. So I also admire all those people making tools in other sites. As that often takes much, much more time and effort than one would think. As it seems it is with most things in life.

So yes, maybe I have been too hard on myself, maybe you have been too hard on yourself. As most things that appear so easy if we see other people do it, apparently effortless, come with a lot of effort and time spent. And come with developing habits. And come with persistence. And yes, I also believe things come easy, or relatively easy if you do it inspired, as Abraham Hicks teaches it. So yes, easy, kind of effortless. But not without effort and a lot of time and a lot of persistence.

Bruce Lee give and receive

Letter of Bruce Lee to himself.I am still subscribed to some of the kind of self help sites from the beginning of my journey with Inspiration for Success. And while I somehow believe often they are a bit too commercial, sometimes I click a link to ‘read the full story’. So today I got an e-mail from http://authenticnumerology.com that got my attention: Bruce Lee give and receive. And I am not sure if the story is true, but I guess so. And it fits exactly the ideas of Napoleon Hill, so I just wanted to share it. The story is that Bruce Lee wrote a letter to himself in 1970, stamped “secret”, with the following text: “By 1980 I will be the best known Oriental movie star in the United States and will have secured $10 million dollars… And in return I will give the very best acting I could possible give every single time I am in the front of the camera and I will live in peace and harmony.”. And it seems that’s what he did, although I don’t remember when he died and how much money he had in 1980. But we all know he was a famous and probably the best Oriental movie star in The United States (ever?).

So I searched the internet for that statement and found some sites that confirmed it. Together with some more advice, like it’s not only about the statement, you have to live it, plan it.

Letter of Bruce Lee to himself.And it inspired me to re-read my desire document. And while reading it I realized that it needs some updates. As I missed some date. Yes, you read this well, I missed some dates. But no matter what, it is still the most important document I ever wrote. As I am starting to live it, it is just me, now, nothing more, nothing less. AND I WON’T CHANGE IT, at least not the basics, not the original idea, the original thing I stated as my definite purpose, the original thing I decided to give, even though I adapted the ‘giving part’ a little as the very first original statement was just too much, like fully giving myself away, which is not the right thing to do. And I won’t change the plan, the ways to achieve my original purpose, even though they don’t really sound like a plan, but more like another goal or definite purpose. BUT THE DOCUMENT IS MINE, I OWN IT NOW. And keep in mind, what I wrote here quite some time before, when I wrote it, my definite purpose were completely impossible. Literally impossible, at least that is what I believed when I first set my basic goal.

And right now I am living the document, on my way to my goals, on the way to my definite purpose. So don’t wait, write down what you want and don’t forget to state what you’re willing to give. You can even do that right now in this site by registering or logging in: login or register.

Things are coming to me

This morning

Well, after my writings of yesterday I got some things coming to me. Like this letter to you. And I know all these things, I see all these things. But not always easy if you feel like being abused or someone being angry with you for no reason.

I did not plan to write right now, but I don’t want to forget this moment, so I’ll start today’s post just with this.

This evening

So today wasn’t such a a bad day after all, even though my start was not that fast, as usual. As next to the e-mail I got I also saw that someone shared a very old link from this site, meaning that at least something somewhere starts to happen, based on all the things I wrote here.

So yes, it’s just the little things you do that you may not even aware of that can create happiness for other people. Like just sharing a link or sending a simple e-mail or SMS.

Crying inside

Inside I’m still crying. Maybe even more now. As I know life is not supposed to be like this and despite everything I have learned I still feel very unhappy. And somehow I believe life is fair. But I know in my case somehow it’s not. And I’m trying to look at the good things and keep my gratitude diary. And tried to listen to people and tried to give first and tried and tried again. But inside I’m still crying as I really don’t understand that things that in my experience should be so simple apparently are not. Things like just working and having an income. Things like having a partner and do and share things together. Things like just having sex, or preferably making love with your partner, if he is just nearby, or lying next to you at night.

And i am wondering where did I get those thoughts, about fairness or what is supposed to be, what is supposed to be fun or create happiness?

So maybe I should stop looking at success and inspiration and trying to give (things that I don’t have) and believing in the good and believing in fairness and believing in peace and love. And pushing and being perfect and writing every day even though I have nothing to write.

Maybe I should first cry, just follow my feeling. As things are very wrong.
