What’s next

Yeah, what’s next. No real customer requests today. And while writing this I realize that somehow there is an enormous abundance in the world of people wanting to do something. As I’m quite sure all those people demonstrating e.g. in Syria are just looking for jobs and I guess most people don’t want a job only for the money, but also want a job to have something to do. Or not? Maybe I should check some statistics for that.

So how can we organize better that we can do the things we love to do and give that effort to others and the other way around? I mean, I have plenty of time and a lot of drive to do things and I’m quite sure there are a lot of people who would like to receive the things I can do for them.

So how can we find each other?

Negative thoughts

Leave a reply

This is day 29 of my thirty day Law of Attraction program and together with e.g. what i found in Think and Grow Rich I am starting to realize how many negative thoughts I am thinking most of the time. And I am starting to see what a powerful destructive force that indeed probably is. And it is so hidden and it is so linked to what I have been taught, to what we have been taught all my life, all our lives. And it’s all about what i, what we, ‘should do’ and ‘shouldn’t do’. It’s all about ‘the law’, whether from my upbringing or whether the real law in society or the things that are commonly considered ‘good’ or ‘bad’.

You see, for most of what I want, what I desire, the first thing I’m thinking is something like ‘I cannot afford that’, or ‘that’s improper behavior’ or ‘that’s against the law’ or ‘my parents considered that wrong’ or <fill in whatever you are thinking>.

And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying what we are taught is wrong or that the law is wrong or that my parents were wrong or something like that and I don’t want to promote criminal behavior or something. I’m just noticing how many negative thoughts I am producing around all kinds of things. And yes, ‘thoughts are things’ and they produce results. So if my thoughts are negative, if your thoughts are negative, I’m quite sure the produce negative results.

And I notice it’s so hidden, it happens on such a deep level, so deep in my subconscious brain. And today to me it started with something like “I shouldn’t use my credit card to get money as there are a lot of charges involved” (and this will get me into further financial trouble). And this is basically true. But then I realized that there is no more food in the house and that there are people depending on me. But on a more deeper level, I believe that the world economy is stuck because the money is not flowing anymore. So who says it’s a bad thing in general that if the bank charges me a lot for getting this money that it has a negative effect. And behind this are some other negative beliefs, like ‘banks are bad and abuse me with their charges’. Is that true? Maybe, but also maybe not. Most money earned by banks I’m quite sure is used to pay their employees or pay other people, and yes a lot may also go to places I don’t like or agree with or you don’t like or agree with. But who decides what is a good place and what is a bad place? So in this case I just don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that money I control, a choice I make would have an effect that I like in the broader sense or an effect that i don’t like.

You know, I’m starting to believe that indeed everything is so connected and that we really can’t know what actual effect our actions have. Or what is actually ‘good’ or ‘bad’ in the end.

So for now let’s examine every thought and just think about it whether it is a negative thought or a positive thought. And at least focus on the positive thoughts, not the negative ones. And yes, i think we all know deep inside what is a negative thought for us and what is a positive thought for us.

Subject in my mind

Leave a reply

There is a subject in my mind for a few days already, but right now I can’t remember it. In my mind it’s quite a positive subject and important to write about, to write here. Weird, it’s just fully gone now. And I don’t feel inspiration right now to write even. It has been raining all day and I feel locked up. And i realize that i feel locked up for quite a while now, actually since I lost the freedom to roam around with a car. And today I thought also how privileged I actually am, or maybe was, as I have traveled the world, have seen many places, while many people can’t move at all, never really leave the place where they were born.

Still, I’m not sure what’s worse, having had something and lose it or not having had it at all. I am starting to believe that having had something and losing it may be worse than not having had it at all. I realize now that i have been spoilt before, that I had a lot of things, that I may have taken too much before without giving or giving back. So maybe my current situation is the punishment for that. But still, on the other hand, there is enough in the world for everybody. We have become so efficient at everything, at least producing material things, that I guess everybody could have everything he wants.

Ah, and that’s the subject that was in my mind before, that I am starting to realize what ‘organized effort’, or capital as Napoleon Hill also calls it, has brought us. So yes, I see now how it works. But I don’t feel part of it anymore as I have the ideas, but don’t know how to implement them, don’t know how to involve other people.

So yes, that’s frustrating. Somehow seeing what a leader is, what a leader can do for the benefit of everybody, and not being able to implement it due to lack of some skill, due to some personality thing.

And I’m complaining again. But what nice stuff is there at the moment. I just feel locked up. I did my best and even today tried to work hard, yes, basically for myself, but I guess my customer and his customers would also benefit.

Anyhow, let’s stop here, as I’m not adding anything. Not with this post and maybe not even with this site as there seem to be so many people doing a similar thing and doing it better.

Although no, I’m starting to get annoyed with the commerce behind all of it. That all the e-mails of the sites I signed up for seem to just have one purpose: sell more. And yes, the services help people and could even help me. But in the end it’s about the person selling the service wanting to sell more. Or isn’t it? I still don’t get it, the give and take thing.

The more I think about it

I am starting to understand more and more about the ideas behind Think and Grow Rich. The amount of ‘capital’ and ‘organized effort’ in our daily life is enormous, almost unimaginable. And it has been already been like that for quite a while, thousands of years actually, starting with people building tools and boats, I guess the first forms of capital.

So going to ‘being rich’ or ‘becoming rich’ in 2013 indeed is something like ‘having a sound idea’ and ‘make it work for the masses’. At least that’s what I start to understand now. And basically my idea with the sample goal is the same, although we are a bit careful at the moment revealing the full idea and related plan as we don’t want it to be copied. Don’t get me wrong, one of the team members suggested that we should do it openly, and maybe we will, but as of the moment we’re not ready yet.

And yes, the enormous amount of capital and organized effort involved in everybody’s life, and I mean literally everybody is so enormous that it seems it indeed doesn’t matter how productive you are. Really realizing this also makes me feel very small, like only a small clock part in the enormous clockwork that the human world has become. Like that I, or any human being, is not really important. And I don’t like the idea and I guess if you think about it nobody would like it. As a human being in our thinking the world still revolves around us, at least I guess that’s true for the most of us.

And again, not sure how I would make something inspiring out of this post. I just started with writing about the awe I feel about how huge, how enormous everything is. And now I end up in how small a human being really is, like a cell in a body. And that’s the weird thing indeed, as indeed one cell in a body doesn’t really mean anything, like if it’s there or not doesn’t really matter. But if all are missing the body, the human doesn’t exist. And if a certain amount or specific parts are missing the body also cannot survive, the human doesn’t exist.

So I guess that’s a positive, as I often think of myself in the world as a cell in a body. That if I just do my part, just try to fulfill my role, just am happy with that, in the end it will affect the body, will make the body healthy and happy.

So yes, I inspire you to just try to figure out what you’re supposed to do, what type of cell in the body you are, what type of human you are in the world, and then do your job, your part in a happy way. As in the end the cells make up the body and humans make up the human world and human consciousness.

Hope again?

Today was a very weird day for me (again). And maybe I’m learning, something like learning to be myself, do my own thing, making my own decisions and at the same time respecting others, respecting the opinions of others and following others. And maybe i found what I have to give in the sense of what Napoleon Hill states that you have to be willing to give to get what you want. And it hurts, because the thing that seems to be asked for is a high price, higher than I expected it to be, different than what I expected it to be. It is not out of bounds of what I stated that I was and am willing to give to get what I want, to make my dream come true, so I can give it, relatively easy. But it hurts, the price is higher than I thought, in a way. And in a way it’s not. Maybe it’s logical Maybe this is the only simple thing that has to happen, even though I didn’t want to let go of it. But indeed, if this is the thing I will have to give, will have to let go of, then the price is very low, then the whole thing indeed is easy.

So again, not sure how to inspire you with this. Maybe indeed just start with the six steps, defining your desire, your definite purpose, stating what you are willing to give. Make a plan and put it into action and write it down and read it aloud. Twice a day is ok, but sometimes for me less than that was also ok as the whole desire document was and is already in my heart.

And for me patience was important, and ‘no action’ was the action I decided to often take, which was hard, because I’m an action oriented person. Often I take too much action.

Let’s see, my belief went sky high again today.
