Tired after a long trip

I am tired after quite a long travel day where I and many others had to wait quite a long time for the ferry to bring us from Cebu to Negros. But I keep thinking about the teachings of Abraham Hicks, especially where he states that many, many things need to line up to make things happen and I am starting to trust more and more that thing happen for a reason and I am trusting Infinite Intelligence more and more to give and bring me the things I need and want. And today it meant I was not so worried that I woke up a little later than planned and that I was held up a little longer in the hotel than I wanted. And I was right, because the moment I arrived at the bus terminal a bus was waiting for me, a bus about to leave, that indeed left five or ten minutes after I arrived.

And there was more, as I found a seat that was perfect because it brought me into contact with some very nice people that even may be good contacts for the future. But even if it was just for today, or today and tomorrow or something, it was a good contact.

And yes, I was annoyed as there was no ferry, that we had to wait an awful lot of time for the ferry to arrive, only to find out that it didn’t leave because the weather was still too bad. But again, the reason was probably that I had to meet Rony (not sure about the spelling of his name) from Norway, with whom I had a very nice conversation and who seemed very close to me as a person.

And yes, I’m still a bit annoyed as I probably have to extend my stay in Dumaguete, meaning I have to let John wait for my arrival. But yes, there must be good reasons for that, as it seems that if I just listen to my inner voice things just turn out to be right.

So yes, trust your inner voice and follow it and you can’t go wrong.

Everything is lined up

Philippine taxiLately I am thinking more and more how everything is lined up as per ideas of Abraham Hicks. And I am more and more surprised how everything is connected, how there is one flow, or actually many, many flows adding everything up, making everything happen. And the more I think about it, the more amazing it all is, how everything is connected.

Like tonight I was just looking for a taxi to go home and I was on the highway  And there are many taxis here on the highway and using a taxi in this case is a very common thing to do. But if you think about it just taking this taxi is, or looking back, is quite an amazing thing and an enormous amount of things need to add up to make me and this taxi, or maybe more specific this taxi driver, to meet up.

As before I was with friends, where those friends influenced the time I was leaving the house. Then I joined one of the other guests to drop me at the highway, so their speed would partially define at what time I would arrive at the highway. Then my partner called me to buy a packet of cigarettes, so I did not wait at the drop off point but went to the gasoline station nearby. At the gasoline station I had to wait for some other customers before I could make my order and finish my transaction. So next to me, these customers had their own speed and events to end up there at that specific moment in time and of course the people behind the counter had their own process which influenced the transaction and the time.

So I finished my transaction and went outside looking for a taxi, so walked with a specific speed outside to the main road where taxis could see me and where I could see taxis. So finally one stopped, or not really ‘finally’, but quite quickly actually. And of course this taxi had had its own journey how to get there today, at this specific time and place, like the previous customer, or actually customers who brought him in this specific time and  place where I was, looking for a taxi. Which of course was related to all the little things and decisions and moods of the customers, the taxi driver and all other traffic, all other vehicles directly or indirectly influencing the flow of this taxi.

And the weird thing is and stays like no matter whether you believe in ‘things happen based on how you flow your energy’ in a more spiritual way, of course my mood, my emotional state, my spiritual state at least directly influences whether I would take this specific taxi or another one or couldn’t find one at all. As the simple thing of waiving my hand and how I waived it when I saw a taxi coming to me on the other side of the road would directly influence the behavior of the taxi driver, like whether he would turn around and take me or not. And the simple mood or emotional state of the taxi driver would define whether he would see me or not, as even if I would not have waived my hand he might have decided to turn around anyhow and see if he could make me into a customer. As my emotional state would define how the sales people in the gasoline station would define how they would react to me, like how fast they would serve me. Or not serve me at all, although the last thing would be unlikely.

And so my mood and the mood of all the other people, participants in this game, this play we call life definitely defines how things are going, what would happen and what would not happen and when and how it would happen.

Amazing isn’t it?

And so yes, somehow we fully define our life, define what is happening and what is going to happen, as each moment we decide what to do or not to do, how to behave or not to behave, what to show or not to show. And somehow we do not, as all the other players also play their own role and make their own decisions.

Amazing, this game of life.

Listening and understanding

My partner keeps hammering on me that I don’t understand, that I lack understanding. And he keeps telling me that I’m wrong, that I’m doing it wrong and that I need to change. And that the whole problem is ‘me’, something like me being me.

So what to do, what to do next. Lately I have been ‘allowing’ him to be him more according to the teachings of Abraham Hicks. So I’m not complaining so much anymore about things he does and things he wants. But deep inside I keep hearing this little voice telling me “yes, but what about me?”. As somehow it seems and feels like that I’m allowing my partner a lot more than myself. And it drains me, it drains my energy. But also according to Abraham Hicks it is indeed me who has to change, or at least I read something like “…it’s not her…”.

And somehow all of this goes back to beliefs, to my beliefs, like “you reap what you sow” and “who does well, will meet well” and things like that. And maybe the beliefs “you can’t change the other person, but you can change yourself” and “if you want to change the world start with yourself”.

All very wise and nice sayings, but I can’t do so much with them, at least they were somehow not confirmed in my life, or maybe they were, but not in a way I like and I don’t know what to do to change it, to change my life. But again, I hear Abraham Hicks say that you should be happy here and now, not somewhere else.

But my inner voice keeps telling me that I cannot be that bad a person in the sense that I don’t believe I sowed that bad things related to what I’m reaping now. And yes, I always have an excuse to tell myself that that’s negative thinking. So who to believe, my inner voice (the little voice?) or the reasoning? And it seems I am treating other people very bad, as basically everybody leaves me behind. Something like it seems I don’t listen to other people. But should I be punished so bad for that? I don’t believe it.

And I turned myself inside out to please other people, to make them happy. But it didn’t work out as nobody seems to be pleasing me (and yes, I know they say you shouldn’t do things to please other people).

So what’s going on here? Deep inside I know I’m not a bad person, actually I’m a good person, although especially recently I discovered I also have my bad sides, sides that I didn’t know existed. But should I keep turning myself inside out to please other people, to ‘allow’ them? I’m willing to, but somehow I also believe there needs to be balance, giving and receiving should be in balance. And again, my inner voice says I’m not receiving enough. And yes, deep inside I know I’m not really allowing that.

So what to do, to restore the balance? Any ideas? Recognize something?

Everything is connected

Nelson MandelaThe last few days of course I also couldn’t get around ‘Mandela’ as all news channels put a lot of time to (the death of) Nelson Mandela. So this morning I was watching the news or one of the documentaries about Nelson Mandela and it reminded me of some character site putting me in the same category as Nelson Mandela and some other famous leaders like Mother Teresa. Something like the ‘craftsman’ personality type or something. And me being me of course I thought about the fame those people have, like I guess most people in the world know their names. And somehow I also still want that. Egoistic? Maybe. But I didn’t want to write about myself now, I wanted to write about how everything is connected. As I felt like writing about Nelson Mandela, about how Apartheid came to be. And about power, as I understood Mandela used power, even in the form of violence, which I am so much against. But I also remember the phrase “Great achievements as for Power” or something like that that Napoleon Hill refers to.

And I was thinking indeed on how everything is connected, because it felt quite natural to write about Nelson Mandela and/or his story or everything his name is connected with. But of course it’s not, as ‘everything’ on TV is somehow connected to or showing ‘something Mandela’. And it influences everybody;s thoughts, including mine. And it’s not really the power of television or newspapers or something, it is more. It is indeed the Energy Abraham Hicks is writing so much about, it is the Infinite Intelligence that Napoleon Hill mentions, it is maybe The Secret that other people refer to.

And what I heard in this documentary about Nelson Mandela, about what he did to achieve what he wanted to achieve, it really sounded like he applied the Principles of Success. And yes, I don’t know what was or were his heartbreaking struggles, but something like twenty seven(?!) years in prison is not nothing, especially if your communication is limited to the absolute minimum. And I was struck by the statement that he said that he was willing to die to achieve what he wanted to achieve: democracy in his home country.

And of course I was thinking about myself again, looking at myself. And about the word, the term charisma I have been thinking about a lot lately. As it seems that’s what I don’t have, at least not towards other people, that’s the main thing missing in my struggle to fame, to achievement.

But after some quick research about charisma I just found there is a second meaning to charisma, a meaning not related to inspiring people, and that is using some personal talent. And that’s something I have, something everybody have: talents. So there is hope and it seems somehow I also stopped learning somehow have closed my mind. And that is what I encountered lately also a lot: open your mind, have an open mind. And I didn’t know what the people meant, what people were trying to tell me, but I think I’m starting to get it. Because mostly I seem to be stuck in my own opinion, in my own ‘being right’ and forget to listen and look around, meaning I will miss opportunities, miss other solutions, miss the contribution of other people (which may be more valuable than I always thought).

And this is becoming a bit chaotic post I guess, but maybe that’s also just who I am, maybe that’s also just my style. And probably, over time, people will find me, the people who like my style, who like what I write. And yes, somehow I’m writing all of this for you, not for me, even though I often get feedback, often tell myself even ‘that it’s all about me’. But it’s not, as if it were all about me I wouldn’t be writing here, I wouldn’t push myself to write here every day. And believe me, that’s not always easy as I sometimes can’t find the time or the inspiration. But no matter what, I wrote, I posted virtually every day. And somehow I know my persistence will pay off.

And don’t forget, it’s all a weird combination of doing things yourself, of ‘action’ and just waiting for the world come around, waiting for things to fall into place.

So there is hope, for you, for me, for everybody. As everything is connected.

I always feel forced…

“I always feel forced to meet other people’s expectations”, that’s the sentence that came up to me after listening to the audio recording “Who are you really” from Morty Lefkoe. I can’t find a link to the audio recording right now, but I guess a related article is You are both consciousness and creation.

And Morty Lefkoe is specialized in helping people eliminating false beliefs. And with what I now know basically, literally every belief is false. And that also goes back to the teachings of Abraham Hicks, as he states that everything started somehow with a thought, with a belief. And that everything in this world are just implemented and executed beliefs.

So somehow I have the belief that I always need to meet the expectations of other people, always need to make them happy, fulfill their needs.

And this post is not yet finished, and I’m not sure if I’m ever going to finish it, but I guess so. And here I bump into some other belief, something I read, something my team members try to tell me: that I need to produce quality content, finished articles and such. And yes, I believe that would be better. But it’s not ‘me’ and I’m starting to believe that I indeed need to follow my own way, find my own followers, no matter what I write about or how I write.

As indeed, I cannot please everybody, should not want to please everybody. As everybody is different with different needs and different ‘gives’. So I guess the gift of my posts, of my writings, of the effort I did to build most of this, might appeal to some people. At least I hope.

And yes, of course this post has a message, a message for you. And the message is to not follow ‘the world’, not follow other peoples thinking and beliefs, but just be yourself. Because you are unique and whether we are here for a reason or not, I still believe we deserve to be happy and enjoy life.
