Good out of bad

I guess most of you, at least in the future, wouldn’t know I am of Dutch origin and currently live in The Philippines. And right now the quote about negative things by definition somehow have something positive in them:

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.

And it seems to be true for me related to the typhoon that hit a part of The Philippines around a week ago. And in this case I was not even affected in a bad way myself, but what I see on TV the destruction in some areas is enormous, like the city of Tacloban seems to be virtually completely destroyed. And I have visited that city a few years ago and it was just a normal Philippine city, not just a shanty area or something. Just pretty decent built houses and shops and such in the city center. So yes, something really bad happened there, no matter what I wrote about Philippine culture a few days ago in my Dutch blog.

But something good came out for me as some people I did not have contact with for quite some time or even a long time were sending me messages to check if I was OK. And actually some people from a very long time ago, from my study time and my first job. So somehow very important people from the period ‘where it all began’ where I also have been thinking quite a lot about recently.

So while writing also something like ‘Law of Attraction‘ comes to mind. It seems that thoughts indeed have enormous power as I have been thinking quite a lot about the period of my first job recently. And the most important person about that period contacted me a few days ago. And i have been thinking quite a lot about my student home, especially a certain person. And it was not that person contacting me, but another one from exactly the same period, the same group. Coincidence? Well, while writing, cannot really be. There is indeed more between heaven and earth than we can see. And it is good!

Enough is enough

Well, enough is enough, at least for today.

And no, I didn’t finish what i wanted to finish, but somehow Infinite Intelligence didn’t seem to want me to finish it.

So enough is enough.

One of those days

Leave a reply

Well, the challenge is more and more to write something inspiring, but today was one of those days where nothing seemed to work out as I expected or intended to. Up to just five minutes ago as on my own computer for some kind of weird reason I could not even edit or create a new post or page in this site with the standard WordPress editor, which was very weird as nothing changed in the site and yesterday it just worked.

So this morning started with one of our two main servers not starting, which is kind of annoying as many things will slow down and some things are not available as they only reside on that server. This morning also started with a weird water problem where I finally found out that the tank was empty, which should not be as I can’t image we consume that much water. Ah, and before the electricity went off wich was something I took as a signal to continue with the improvement of our water system that I had planned for today. Before that something needed to be printed, where of course the printer was connected to the system that was down. At that time someone was cleaning so it was a lot of hassle to print as I had to pass the floor being cleaned (and very wet and slippery) many, many times. Also there was one envelope left where I needed two. Ah, and of course the server didn’t have a CD-ROM device attached that I needed for repairing the system. And I can’t remember other things, but I’m quite sure there were some other things I didn’t like either. Ah, and forgot, just when a customer called through Skype, a call that hadn’t pushed through for a few days, the internet connection was down. And when I had switched to our other connection, which of course was more hassle than usual because I felt so down about this computer being down, he was not available anymore.

So my mood was very down and indeed, it somehow was one of those days where it seems nothing can go right.

And still, it’s not the whole truth. It’s a feeling, a mood that indeed somehow also affects your environment. And I don’t know how that works, but something like Law of Attraction indeed seems to exist.

So yes, most of the day I felt very bad and had a bad mood and even felt physically exhausted. I guess you know the feeling. But somehow I did manage the things

So it felt like ‘just one of those day’s. But was it really? In a way yes, as normally there are not so many things breaking down at the same time. But looking at how the world works, 99% of everything around me still worked. So somehow I, or we, seem to focus on things that don’t work, not on things that work. I wrote about that also yesterday or a few days ago. And I’m not sure if you realize, but it’s kind of a miracle that most things work. Rationally it would be more likely that things wouldn’t work. And also I have put so many things in place as a back-up, like my duplicate file server system, that I somehow still could work. And I had had a warning from that server there was a disk problem a few weeks or months ago. So I had been warned aleady something like this might happen.

And somehow I still did the things I had planned for today. And many things more. So rationally it wasn’t really a bad day, even though I don’t plan so many things on a day like before, actually embarrassingly little, but that’s another story.

So somehow, doing these little things for quite a while now and keeping my daily promises to myself, no matter how small or could even be ‘nothing’, I have developed a habit of ‘doing the things I planned for a day’, which is even why I’m writing this post now even though it’s very late at night.

So inspiring, this post? Maybe, because also some things pointed me in the right direction, like the electricity going off made me move on the water, one of the things I had planned. And the server breakdown and the phone call somehow made me do some little work on something I had planned for a site. And I have developed to ‘push through’ in a more relaxed way than before, indeed from ‘habit’ and not from ‘have to’.

So yes, I’m not there as I feel it, far from it, but somehow something changed. Thank you Napoleon HIll and Lynn Grabhorn and Abraham Hicks and many, many other people.

Procrastination

Leave a reply

i read a bit ahead in my thirty day Law of Attraction program and it was about procrastination. And Abraham Hicks says on day 26 that procrastination is not necessarily bad (see what i just wrote about procrastination on the page procrastination if it’s still there). And I agree with that as that’s what I often felt even though everything around me, around us, seems to say that we should take action and don’t wait, don’t hesitate.

And I don’t say you shouldn’t do anything, shouldn’t take action, as I still believe action is the thing that in the end makes things move. But looking back at the last year I am also starting to realize that patience may be as important as ‘action’.

You see, patience brought my biggest dream closer, closer than I could have ever imagined one year ago. One year ago when my biggest dream was impossible, literally impossible. Where everyone said I was crazy to follow my heart, follow my dream. And I’m not there yet, but I’m very, very close. And yes, i’m willing to wait, willing to be patient, willing to ‘allow’ my dream finally become true. So the weird thing with the thing I really wanted, I really want, is that it came closer by just being patient, without really taking action. And yes, persistent I was and still am, but patience seems to have been the biggest issue, not action.

And also today, the last few weeks, I saw that patience paid off much more than action and pushing pushing. Patience also seems to have been the biggest issue towards other people, towards my team, that slowly but surely seems to start moving in the direction that I have and had in mind for Inspiration for Success.

So yes, procrastination is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes the Universe just needs time to put things in place, to align things. So be persistent, but also be patient.

Prosperity

Leave a reply

I have been reading more about the thirty day Law of Attraction program of Abraham Hicks. And one side of me says ‘just another self help program that made the person originating it rich and famous’. But another part of me says that there is a lot to focusing on the positive, focusing on abundance and prosperity. And maybe the main thing that lets me believe that ‘working hard’ will bring prosperity is not true is that most of my life I have been working hard, harder than average. And it didn’t bring me success, it didn’t bring me prosperity, it didn’t bring me happiness. At least not in the end.

Yes, I had good jobs and earned a lot. And during those days I was financially well of, quite well of. Not rich, but more than average rich, especially as i am gay and had a partner who also worked, so we were in the ‘double income no kids’ group. So yes, basically we were well of and I was happy with it.

But looking back something didn’t add up. As I had to work hard and do all kinds of things that didn’t suit me as a person to keep my job (= my income) and my partner. And because I was doing those things ‘forced’ in the end I lost everything. Yes, that’s what I believe now.

And the same thing happened again to me last year. Again I worked hard to have an income and keep my partner. And again it was not enough. And again it didn’t add up.

And don’t get me wrong, I did like my jobs, my work and I loved and liked my partners. But something didn’t add up and it seems those Law of Attraction type thoughts make more sense than ‘work hard and you will get’.

So no, I don’t have the answers yet and I still feel i’m in a very shitty situation. But I’m going to give this positive thinking, this ‘feeling’, this ‘vibrating’ stuff a chance. As the ‘working hard’ stuff didn’t work out for me, never.

And indeed, also logically, rationally the whole thing of ‘work hard and everything will be OK’ doesn’t add up. Look at nature and everything. Nature is all about abundance, about ‘waste’ about too much of everything.

So there is enough, there must be enough, also for me, for me to do the things I want to do, for me to enjoy life.

To be continued…
