Self analysis, question 42

I still feel very stressed so it seems that my journey of working from Think and Grow Rich didn’t deliver what I expected from it. Or maybe better say, hoped from it. And I still can’t imagine other people feel as stressed as I do, or did most of my life. So how would I ever live a normal life with a little happiness and such in it? And would answering these self analysis questions help?

Anyhow, it is often said that one should never give up, so let’s just continue working on the self analysis questions, even though I got an e-mail just half an hour ago that hit me very hard as it is about something I have no clue how to solve it.

But let’s just persist and work on today’s question: “Are you conscious of possessing spiritual forces of sufficient power to enable you to keep your mind free from all kinds of fear”?

And the answer is definitely ‘no’. Or isn’t it? As I just feel very stressed, which makes me think ‘fear’, so I feel like I don’t have sufficient power to keep me free from stress. And I feel very poor, which makes me feel very bad, but it doesn’t mean I fear poverty (anymore?). As being in this state of feeling poor, which I still don’t really am as I still have quite some capital in the form of part ownership in The Malasag House, so if that is sold (or mortgaged further) I am out of direct financial trouble.

Anyhow, everything lately seems to point to spirituality, so maybe I should look more in that direction to deal with my stress, with my feeling tortured by, yes, who or what?

Self analysis, question 40

I never realized there were more than 40 self analysis questions, but I knew there were a lot. More than 40 is impressive though and there are still quite a lot to go.

Today’s question amazes me a bit though because I already answered it, but apparently I didn’t, at least not in public, not in the site like I am doing now.

And today’s question is “Have you learned how to create a mental state of mind with which you can shield yourself against all discouraging influences”? And the answer is certainly no, as I am often pretty much discouraged. Although when writing this down I think I improved a bit, or even a lot, as slowly I somehow tell myself positive things when I feel discouraged. Like that I still have a lot of time, as ‘age’ is just an excuse (according to Napoleon Hill). And also that in the end with persistence you get quite far, as that is what I seem to read very often lately.

And I know I am persistent, so it is certainly encouraging to read that persistence seems to be one of the major things that helps one achieve success.

And yes, I am learning and developed some pretty good habits, and a good sample of the last is that I am writing here even though I feel very, very tired.

But the habit keeps me going.

So well, I am getting more and more confident that I will achieve success, in the end, even though a bit late. But as they say: “better late than never”.

Self analysis, question 38

Wow, another question that I guess is about something like looking in the mirror: “What habits of other people annoy you most”?

And right now nothing really comes into my mind except that I don’t like that my partner always wants to have the house super clean, much cleaner than I. And of course I like the house to be clean, but I don’t like people cleaning the house continuously where I can see them and often the house is just clean enough.

And I guess I am a bit jealous of really disciplined people and people who wake up early and do all those things successful people are doing or are supposed to do. As I don’t like waking up very early and I am not that disciplined. And because of those things I believe I am not successful.

And strange, before I knew many more things related to this question but I am a little bit drunk (from only one can of Red Horse) and nothing much comes into my mind.

And no, I didn’t drink a lot and I am pretty okay with Red Horse normally, but tonight it just seems too much.

So enough for now I guess, even though it feels like a bit of a waste not to spend a bit more time on this question.

But I am learning a little bit more to trust my feelings and let my body tell me when enough is enough.

Not easy

Not easy to do my daily Inspiration for Success things here on holiday without any decent internet and only a smart phone that connects. But the habit for doing these things is very strong and I also have things to share as I had a very interesting conversation today about life and happiness and success and such. And got a new book of one of these friends with some interesting stuff about success and leadership. Unfortunately not practical to continue writing like this, so sharing has to wait. And still in doubt if I am over doing writing here in the middle of nowhere and on holiday on a tablet. But they still say success is also about going the extra mile also and doing things other people don’t do, so I guess I’m doing the right thing.

Holiday

Well, I’m on holiday, travelling yesterday and only my smart phone is working so not easy to write a daily post, but at least I can let you know that I am still there and trying to get something written. Or not truing, but actually doing.
