Last thing of the day

Well, it’s a bit late again, so I guess this is about the last thing of the day, even though I still have to send the second batch of the daily inspirational e-mail and maybe one or two other little things. But I think I am basically finished with what I had planned for the day and it is about time also, as it is already past 2 am.

So not really sure what else to write here, as I’m a bit empty from everything I did today. A day that ended pretty well, even though I couldn’t get started (where the Universe seemed too agree with something like ‘stop’), my computer didn’t want to start, one of the major internet connections in the house broke down, and more like that.

But in the end everything went pretty okay, so I guess right now I’ll stop here and just check my list for today if there are no major things I forgot, but I don’t think so, even though I think I forgot some follow up calls. Or actually I am sure of that. But also there, somehow it must not be the time, as the Universe said ‘stop’ around lunch. And recently I listen better to those messages and often that turns out well.

So yes, make sure to listen to that inner voice. And act upon it. It is there for a reason and often, or I even believe always, has the best in mind for you. Like I find recently that delays just put me in touch with the right people at the right time.

Coincidence, I don’t think so

Last time I extended my planning, a bunch of dated scratch paper in a folder, extended up to a specific date like September 30 or so, somehow the date I had in mind or something. And I did the extension from a pile of scratch paper that I slowly added without a date or anything in that folder. So for today I had planned to extend my planning up to October 31, 2014 and while doing it of course I was wondering if the Universe had somehow matched the prepared empty scratch papers with only holes in them. So I started putting dates on the empty scratch papers and added them in the right place in the folder (there are some planning papers further in the future) one by one. And getting closer to the date of October 31, 2014 I realized that the scratch papers were not enough to reach that date. So I ran out of paper at October 28, 2014, meaning I needed three additional scratch papers (as October 31, 2014 was already there). So I was kind of laughing at myself, like how could it be possible to have the exact amount of scratch paper to reach the planned extension, as that pile of prepared scratch paper is just randomly extended whenever I have suitable scratch paper on my desk.

So I was standing up, laughing, to find some more scratch paper. And then I realized I had separated the pile of scratch paper in two parts, as there were some things from previous days I wanted to copy to the new planning. And imagine, that second pile consisted of two pages I had used for previous days and, yes, three empty pages that would exactly extend my planning up to October 31, 2014.

Coincidence? I don’t think so. It seems the Universe is really telling me that I am on the right way or something, with all kinds of amazing things that are happening to me recently, since I am starting to be myself, live my own life, do my own things instead of listening to others ‘how to live my life’.

Thank you, Universe (or God or Infinite Intelligence, or whatever you believe is what goes beyond our understanding).

Suddenly I believed

This morning I had quite an interesting experience. As I suddenly believed that I will really have my black Pajero. And it was a very strange feeling, as until now I just tried to imagine it by surrounding myself with photo’s and such and yes, also writing to Mitsubishi about my wish, my dream. And yes, sometimes while going up to Malasag on a habal-habal or at other times on or in a vehicle I try to imagine myself at the steering wheel of my black Pajero. So yes, I am following the instructions of e.g. the ideas about repetition of thoughts from Think and Grow Rich. But until today it never really felt like it worked, I never really believed. But somehow today it was different, somehow I really saw my black Pajero coming to the house, being brought to me, through the gate. And it had all to do with the progress I am making with my project, my projects about improving internet in The Philippines and improving life in Cagayan de Oro City.

And some other things became very clear to me, as e.g. while working on my presentation for the Mayor of Cagayan de Oro City I realized that statements like ‘poverty alleviation’ are fully missing the point. As what do they emphasize? Yes, poverty! So I thought that it would be better to use something like ‘riches awareness’ or ‘wealth awareness’ than ‘poverty alleviation’.  And all of this is related that especially for the last months I am constantly evaluating my thoughts. And I found that many, many of my thoughts are negative, or maybe better stated limiting. And looking back also this process took me a long while of, well also some kind of repetition, checking my thoughts on whether they help or or just push me down.

So yes, I can certainly recommend again to buy Think and Grow Rich. But don’t only buy it, read it, keep reading it, and work from it, do the things that are suggested, even though they don’t always may make sense to you. And don’t give up, as I realize more and more that virtually nothing can beat persistence, not by reading it, but by experiencing it, especially with my ‘impossible projects’. As somehow my project, my projects are starting to come alive. And indeed, as per ideas of Abraham Hicks, you can’t force things into place, you need to come from a place of no resistance. Or as Napoleon Hill mentions Infinite Intelligence as some greater force, which is basically the same idea. And that is also what I am starting to feel, that if I do my part, the Universe and all people around are starting to cooperate. And yes, I believe action is needed, but that is not the only thing. It indeed needs to be inspired action, which is sometimes difficult to explain.

So yes, just start, somewhere, and don’t give up!

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.

Outliers

Today I was talking about success and someone pointed me to the book Outliers of Malcolm Gladwell that she was apparently reading. So she gave me the book and I started reading, and right from the first chapter I realized it gives a new point of view additional or contrary of the Principles of Success as described by Napoleon Hill. And no, while writing I realize that it is not really contrary to the Principles of Success of Napoleon Hill, the things I have been following for quite a while now, but it shines some new light on why some people are more successful than others, or why you (read ‘I’) sometimes feel something isn’t right, something like that the Principles of Success can’t explain why e.g. Bill Gates is so super rich, so super successful.

And the book indeed explains why Bill Gates has been somehow ‘lucky’ being so extraordinary successful. And also explains why Andrew Carnegie achieved such unimaginable success. The explains that those people indeed were talented, worked hard and things like that. But it also explains that related to those people some more things like time and circumstances were in their favor.

And the books starts with a very simple sample that we all know, that there are early students and late students, related to the ‘cut off date’ that schools, or actually governments, set, that cause some students in the same year, the same grade, are older, months older than other students. And of course in later life a few months don’t really matter. But based on research it can be proved that those few months just make the difference for some people to pass the mark for ‘next stage’ in something, where other people don’t pass that mark. And in many areas of life, that ‘passing the mark’ means that you get more coaching or time or whatever that makes the difference bigger. And depending on the situation it means that in some areas those who have the advantage can be successful in that area and that those who don’t have the advantage have no chance in being successful in that specific area.

And it was quite comforting for me to read why Bill Gates has been so much more successful than I have been. As e.g. he was just in the right age bracket to jump on the ‘computer band wagon’ and be extraordinary successful. And I am just something like eight years older, meaning that I was just too late to jump on the bandwagon that Bill Gates and some other people, including Steve Jobs, to be ‘really successful’ in the ‘computer world’.

So this book, the ideas in this book of course mean that I am thinking what that means for the Principles of Success, for this site that is built around the Principles of Success. Like the book certainly confirms that ‘luck’ is somehow involved in being successful.

But looking at the Principles of Success as described by Napoleon Hill my gut feel says that the Principles of Success he describes still apply. And that these new insights just explains some of the reasons why some people are so extraordinary successful. As indeed, what I always felt, it appears that there is something involved in the extreme success that some people have. But that certainly doesn’t mean that applying the Principles of Success is invalid or something. And it also doesn’t mean that not anybody could achieve the success that those really successful people have had.

And thinking further, maybe Napoleon Hill does explain it, maybe it is included. As indeed, Napoleon Hill acknowledges something like Infinite Intelligence, some higher power helping us to achieve success, if we are open to it.
