Hope inspiration

Strange, maybe God has its ways. As today, and the last few days, holiday coming to an end, everything feels like it’s falling apart again. Hardly any customer requests or new customers. No meeting planned yet. Delay in going home, which makes me uneasy, as there are just things I want to finish at home. So right now I feel very uncomfortable, very pressured.

But maybe today’s quote from the url https://www.pinterest.com/pin/553450241681175308/ was just what I needed and might have just been the reason for the strange suggestion to look for a RoRo quote when I asked a friend what kind of quote I should send today.

So what’s next? Hope? ‘There is no hope’ is one of the things I once learned in a training, and somehow there is truth in that. Same as what I got from Seth Godin today, that there is no use of mere wishing. You need to do something also. But forcing things also doesn’t seem to work, or actually doesn’t work as I know from Abraham Hicks, and by own experience.

So maybe yes, for now, for today, for the remaining day of holiday, maybe just wait and relax and see what happens, see what other messages God has for me, what other messages will come my way. Maybe just, next to being relaxed, next to waiting, just be alert, alert to what is coming to me.

Relax

Today was a bit a weird day as I didn’t feel doing a lot of things. Still I managed to get my development server running and found out that my new hard disk is not okay, so I’ll have to change it.

And it is very much time to evaluate this site, the site and project Inspiration for Success, as it didn’t bring me much success yet, at least not the success I’m looking for. And I’m not sure if my habit of writing every day a post is a good habit as I don’t really feel inspired recently

So yes, while thinking of all the readings about success I should continue, as success is just beyond the point where you kind of lose hope. But I’m getting tired and as of the moment I don’t really see where this site, this project is going and I don’t have a lot of energy going on, as it feels like nothing is coming back.

So yes, somehow I would love to finish and extend the IFS Tools, but without any users, even including me, it’s not much fun (anymore). As yes, I still feel alone with this, as with many things in life.

So what’s this all about?

And I’m thinking about what John said, that I should give solutions here. But I don’t want to be like all those other sites and bloggers, as there is already so much of the same self help stuff annoying people with pop-ups asking for e-mail addresses and then sending you e-mails regularly, sometimes even every day. And no, nothing wrong, as I’m doing the same with the daily quote, but in the end it seems mostly about selling and not about helping people.

So yes, I could use some feedback here.

Being appreciated

I am still struggling with being appreciated, with having the feeling, or maybe the confirmation, that I am doing something useful. And I was thinking about that as I was just working on the tool I am developing to help you achieve more success by scoring yourself on each of the Principles of Success. And I was a bit frustrated, as I did not get any real feedback on it, except from one of the team members, who suggested that I should develop a more common tool about achieving goals, like a goal planning tool. But there are many goal planning tools available, probably better than I could ever imagine or build, so I don’t see any added value on that. And I also think I would not do justice to the ideas of Napoleon Hill by ‘just’ developing a goal achieving tool. As his ideas go much further than just achieving a goal, even though I think the Principles of Success could certainly help you achieve goals, any goal.

And yes, I am still confronted with my inability to create a team, to connect to people in a way that I would like, to inspire people to do, to create what I want, what I have in mind. As I believe that is what real leaders do. But no, on the contrary, I still find myself doing things myself instead of having people around me doing at least part of the work. But yes, I am starting to see now that there is indeed some kind of energy you can tap into as a human, an energy that can indeed create universes, so why not a simple website, a simple web application like I have in mind for Inspiration for Success. But until now I was still not able to really tap into that, even though the last few weeks a few times I felt some of the flow that I know belongs to that. So maybe indeed the keywords here are still patience and persistence.

But still, when looking at people like Bill Gates or Richard Branson they must have something I don’t have, as they seem to be able to create really big things. And they started doing that at a very young age.

So how to get my really big project of the ground? Patience? As that is where I feel the energy flow when presenting that or parts of it to people.

And yes, would you be willing to check my tools and use them or give feedback on them? Then at least I wouldn’t feel so alone and it may even help you on your way to success.

Lots of things in my mind

Rita Hayworth A lot of things in my mind right now. Like I am still a bit sick and could’t sleep last night, mainly because of my coughing. And the result was that I got out of bed very late, also partly because I still didn’t feel well. And next to this I was thinking that last night I wanted to write about the movie The Shawshank Redemption. A fantastic film, especially knowing now the Principles of Success from Napoleon Hill as I see the main character, Andy Dufresne, applying many of those principles to achieve what he wants to achieve. And despite the enormous setbacks he encounters and the enormous amount of time involved, he achieves what he wants to achieve. So that’s what I would call a success story.

And one of the strange things about the movie is that it is based on a short story of Stephen King. And I don’t like the books of Stephen King so much as they are too full of horror type things, horror kind of believable to happen in real life.

Ah, and I now see the story is much older and based on God Sees the Truth, But Waits by Leo Tolstoy. And it seems that story is about forgiveness, something I have been thinking about for quite a while now. So no wonder I am and was impressed by the story and the film as apparently it has a very long history and a deep background.

And yes, thinking about forgiveness I can relate to the film, where it doesn’t seem to make any sense to lock up people for a very long time as you just destroy them. That is a similar thing I am struggling with, as I borrowed a lot of money, which I don’t know how to pay back as of the moment and it feels kind of unfair to me that I have to suffer so much for mistakes I made in the past. Yes, to me it also feels like a lifetime sentence, the situation I am in now with my debts. And it doesn’t make any sense, it even takes away most of my joy in life. And that’s even what people are complaining about, that I should have more fun, join friends more, go out more. But for me there is always that debt that I feel I need to pay back. So I’d rather save money than have fun.

So how can we get out of those things? How can we go out of those lifetime sentences? How can we really forgive people and let them free?

Resting

Well, somehow today was some kind of resting day. And I didn’t even really plan it, but yesterday or so I saw I had nothing really planned for today (and the next few days). So I added some little items for today yesterday, but just some small stuff, so basically I could do or not do what I wanted to do, without the pressure I still feel with my daily to-do list. And yes, I am still proud of my daily to-do list, as this time, unlike many times before in my life, I know I’m going to do the things that are on it. So it is somehow a different feeling, although until now I can’t really relate it to my definite purpose and other goals yet, making it a bit dull, a bit boring, not exciting like knowing where I am going.

But I still believe it is a step, or actually it are many steps, the things I started and learned since about one and a half year, or almost two years ago now.

And I hope one day I can share that it helped me to achieve real success, to achieve my definite purpose and to achieve some other goals I have in mind. As that indeed might be more convincing than hearing all those things from someone who is not really successful yet. Or am I?
