The astonishing power of feelings

Leave a reply

Well, I continued reading Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting: The Power of Positive Feelings, the book I got two days ago and started reading. And I continued looking at myself, where I am and things like that. And it seems the ideas in the book might be exactly what I need now. And it seems like it’s all contrary to the ideas of Napoleon Hill, but it’s also not. Contrary is like ‘not focusing on actions, on doing’. Similar are ideas like desire and Infinite Intelligence. But in the end my feeling is it’s not all that different as Napoleon Hill starts with desire where Lynn Grabhorn starts with positive feelings. And Infinite Intelligence is not that far from or the same as things like Inner Self or Higher Self or things like that.

So the book is really inspiring to me and I’m looking for ways how to use all my knowledge about personal development or self help or inspiration or inspiration for success or success in a more compact way in the site. Something like exercises or summaries.

And still thinking about what the site should be exactly about. On my journey I end up in many self help sites, but I want Inspiration for Success to be an inspiring site, not a self help site. Inspiration sounds so much more positive, has so much more music in it than ‘self help’. And inspiration is also not the same as ‘self help’, although Inspiration for Success somehow has some ‘self help’ feel in it.

Anyhow, looking forward to your thoughts on this, on inspiration and what you would expect on a site to be inspired.

Vibrations

Leave a reply

Well, yesterdays visit to a friend brought me four new books. I was offered to bring six, but i brought four. Law of Attraction?

They are1:

And the fourth just disappeared, very strange, or did I just bring three? I’m quite sure I brought four, but maybe that’s what this article is all about, vibrating with something, and it seems i’m learning to vibrate positive as many good things are happening to me lately, even though I’m still very scared.

And now, some time after I wrote the post and added some stuff in the rest of the site I realize there is a fourth book on my desk: Fundamentals of Vipassana Meditation, printed and donated by The Corporate Body of the Buddha Educational Foundation.

I was also asking my Buddhist friend about some more background about the chanting, and one of the things she said that part or all of the chanting is getting in touch with the Universe.

So last night I started reading a bit and this morning i continued as I’m still struggling, still don’t understand. All the ‘going the extra mile stuff’ and ‘work your plan’ and ‘things will come back to you’ and ‘you reap what you say’ don’t seem to work for me. Often I go twenty miles extra and it just doesn’t work and I think mostly I plant positive seeds. And all I got back were bad results, most I got back was negativity, loneliness, people leaving me. And I did my best, so it didn’t add up.

So I guess there is more than Think and Grow Rich with all it’s principles of success.

Any how, I started reading and ended up with “Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting“ and I found some relief in it as i did not feel so good this morning, which made me also start reading by the way. And this book has a totally different approach to achieving success, to live a happy life than most other success books.

So what is different. Well, it’s not that different, but the book starts from the idea that ‘everything is energy’ and that ‘energy and matter’ are the same thing. And that we ourselves ‘vibrate’. And that everything around us, everything that is happening to us vibrates with the same vibration. So if we vibrate in a positive way, positive things come to us, vibrate with us and when we vibrate ‘negative’, negative things come to us, vibrate with us. So the starting point of this book is ‘vibrations’, where vibrations come from feelings, whereas e.g. the starting point from Think and Grow Rich is more like desire.

Not that different in the end though, as I guess desire and positive feelings or positive vibrations are not that different. And reading one line more, Lynn Grabhorn mentions deliberate creation and four steps to bring into your life whatever is your passion and much, much more. The four steps she mentions are:

  1. Identify what you DON’T want.
  2. From that, identify what you DO want.
  3. Get into the feeling place of what you want.
  4. Expect, listen and allow it to happen.

Sounds simpler than the ideas of Think and Grow Rich, although I still have the feeling they’re not that different, as also in the principles of success as described by Napoleon Hill the term Infinite Intelligence plays a major role.

Doing what you like

Leave a reply

I was searching for the daily quote and found this one:

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. – Wayne Dyer

And I can’t connect to it, I don’t recognize it. I have always done the things I love to do and until now it just didn’t work out. Me doing the things I love doesn’t seem to be experienced well by other people. And it didn’t bring me abundance, at least not in a relaxed way, so no, it didn’t.

And yes, I believe in the statement, that people should do what they love and that that would automatically convert into happiness, not only for the person himself, but also for others. But why doesn’t it seem to work for me?

So what about you, do you believe in the same thing? That everybody should do what he or she likes? And that that would make the world a better place? Or does it work for you? Or doesn’t it?

Please share below, I, and I guess many other people, are really interested in what you think or feel about it.

All kinds of things needed

Saab 900 Turbo

Wow, it seems I put myself some tasks. And yes, I still believe virtually anything can be done and you (and I) can make virtually any dream come true. But at the moment everything just seems work, work, work. And somehow I know this is just how it works, this is how to get there, step by step, one thing at the time, no matter how slow it seems to go. Although that reminds me that many things in my life also just ‘came to me’. Many things I wanted or wished for or had somewhere in my mind were suddenly just there, without me even realized that i ever really wanted it or something.

One sample is a car I once had. It was even quite some time after I acquired it that I realized that during childhood i had kind of dreamed of this kind of car. When I was a child I was completely crazy about cars, like reading car magazines and books and i was also subscribed to a weekly magazine. One weekly item in the magazine was a weekly car test report and one week the report was about a Saab 900 Turbo (or at least a Saab Turbo). The car was way beyond I could ever imagine for my dad to have, let alone me. Anyhow, years and years later I realized I drove in one, and that I owned it. So indeed, even your wildest dreams can come true, although there was one issue with the car. It was not the shiny brand new car from the test report, but a ten year old car that was at the end of its lifetime. So be careful what you wish for, but don’t forget that I really enjoyed the car and that I was amazed that I not only drove one, but even owned it.

And this is not the only thing that happened to me, that kind of ‘came to me’. Many of the things I had in mind when I was a boy or teenager I did and got in my life, also many things that appeared completely impossible.

So yes, I guess this post even inspires me now as I know that nature or the Universe or Infinite Intelligence or God or whatever name you have for the ‘higher power’ often, or maybe even always, just gives you what you want,although sometimes not in exactly the way you had imagined it.

So whenever you are tired or down or whatever, just know that despite of all the principles of success it is not only those principles, that to me often sound like hard work, but that often things also just ‘come to you’, without direct effort or action.

Or as I started with this post like feeling of needing all kinds of things, that those things might just be there already or on the way.

Mental inertia

Leave a reply

I am starting to believe more and more there is guidance from some higher power as recently all kinds of things came to me, just like now. I feel completely blocked, kind of paralyzed, not knowing what to do, and just read right now “How to snap out of mental inertia“. That may just be what I need. It’s in the chapter persistence of Think and Grow Rich.

And maybe what I needed to hear right now was just ‘You may find it necessary to snap out of your mental inertia through a similar procedure, moving slowly at first, the increasing your speed, until you gain complete control over your will“.

A friend of mine also suggested that a few weeks ago, start with little things. And I did, but it seems sometimes or even often I’m going too fast, want too much, and then everything seems to stop as it’s just too much.

I already realized something like that an hour ago or so and indeed already said to myself something like ‘take little steps first again’, ‘one thing at the time’. That was also the starting point of starting to move, write here again, and indeed, more answers seem to come.

So when you feel paralyzed mentally, this may also work for you:

Just slow down, think of smaller steps, take smaller steps and be happy with each step you make, no matter how small.
