Wow, another one

Wow, another post I want to write and I don’t feel any inspiration at the moment. But I can still be proud of myself as I just saw that this is post number 61 and as I wrote most of the posts and only missed one day or so I think I achieved quite a goal and showed quite some discipline. And I thought and I am still thinking I really had no discipline, but facts now show differently. For the last months, or maybe even the last half year with the things I kind of ‘put on myself’ I have been very successful, even though they are and were little things, at least in my opinion.

And that’s what a friend of mine recently told me, that I’m so hard on myself. And I guess she is right. It felt as if she is right. But my main question is still that if I am so hard on myself, or actually just have been pushing and persisting all my life, why did I not achieve the real success yet? I’m really confused with that, although I see more and more why, as success requires a lot more than just ‘push, push, push’ or work hard and be persistent. Indeed, it seems the harder I force or forced myself, the less successful I was. So recently I am a lot easier on myself, more relaxed, and it seems indeed that things go more ‘on their own’, more natural.

The weird and scary part is still that I hardly have any money left, actually even the opposite, and no clear picture of the future. And those things I always had, at least I thought I had. But still, I feel also less scared, so somehow it seems I’m making progress. Somehow it seems I’m starting to understand.

And I guess that’s all about The Secret or the one thing that Napoleon Hill doesn’t specifically describes in Think and Grow Rich. Somehow you need to figure it out yourself, somehow the whole thing is about, well, don’t know how to describe, but I’m starting to get the feel about it. Somehow it’s about taking charge in a natural way, without all the ‘push, push, push’ and that’s also what Lynn Grabhorn wrote about. The big thing, the really big thing, doesn’t seem to be that difficult and it seems you can only understand it ‘when you are there’.

So where are you?

And this reminds me that one of the ideas of the site was to connect ‘inspirors’ with ‘people who need inspiration’. So we need to find a way how to do that.

For now of course we can do that manually, so just e-mail us or write something in a comment.

Things are falling into place

Leave a reply

Things are falling into place. I ended up reading the last chapter of the part of Think and Grow Rich about the Power of the Master Mind. It seems all the answers to life, to success somehow are in that book, same as in many other books. It’s something like finding yourself, finding your destiny, finding your dreams. Then find people to share it with, the right people. Then think about how you can make that dream come true, make some kind of planning. And then put that plan into action.

But the whole thing works only from positive emotions, if you have conquered your fears, if you are able to stand on your own, believe in yourself, and in others. Allow yourself to be part of it, allow others to be part of it.

And yes, it takes thinking, a lot of thinking. I have been thinking a lot lately, and things are falling into place. And I still feel guilty, as my whole process took a lot of time, time I ‘should’ have spent on other things, useful things, things ‘they’ say I should do. And I feel guilty of ‘not taking action’, not ‘doing the right thing’. But somehow I’m starting to see that action without purpose, action without the right dream, action without a definite purpose, without desire, without planning, is useless, leads nowhere.

So my next question is how I can help you, use the thinking i did, use the experience I have, much of which is not pretty, looking back. And the site is called inspiration for success, as it started from me not being inspired, inspired by other people. So the site is planned to inspire, not planned as ‘self help’ site as there are already many very good sites on that. I think through there should be and there actually are already some ‘self help exercises‘ in the site, but I think we need to make sure they are inspiring, not just ‘exercises’.I k

So maybe for now, to inspire you, in my mind is something like, first go for your dream, find your destiny, find your definite purpose. And make sure you feel it, make sure it feels good for you, no matter what other people say, no matter what your limiting beliefs say. Don’t do anything else until you know deep inside it’s YOUR dream, your destiny, what YOU want to do in life.

Dreaming

Reading and thinking more about the ideas of Lynn Grabhorn who says that the only thing you need to do is something like ‘be in connection with your core self’ and certainly don’t force things through ‘do, do, do’ and ‘push, push, push’ made me very confused as these ideas, based on the Law of Attraction, seem contrary to the ideas of Napoleon Hill. From Think and Grow Rich

I got the idea of ‘push, push, push’, mainly through the idea ‘persistence‘ that probably suits me as a person, but maybe I’m not interpreting persistence properly, maybe I’m interpreting it as a very stubborn person. So I’m pushing a lot and it doesn’t seem to work. if you follow my posts you may have noticed in between the lines that I kind of came to a total stand still. As no matter how ‘persistent‘ I was, nothing seems and seemed to work, so I kind of stopped recently. And that ‘nothing seems to work, no matter how much I push’ has been going on for quite a while now, maybe even most of my life.

So the last few days it slowly sank in that my interpretation of the ideas of Napoleon Hill may need some adjustment and that my understanding of persistence does not imply ‘push, push, push’, but that the persistence should be based on a desire, a dream, and not simply based on just ‘something I want’.

So what made me think more, well the part of the book Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting: The Power of Positive Feelings about step 2: identify what you DO want. And it made me think more and feel more that I HAVE STOPPED DREAMING, I have stopped wanting things. I’m just surviving and even barely surviving. So again, what hit me and how do I get out of this ‘survival mode’, or better stated, how do I come alive again? Because the whole thing adds up. I”m not dreaming anymore, I don’t have any desire anymore, everything ‘living’ has just been killed long time ago. And it seems I’m not alone, because in Think and Grow Rich as well as in the book of Lynn Grabhorn and maybe also what I see all around me is that most people are kind of ‘surviving’ and not ‘living’, not living their dream or dreams.

So what happened to us, to you, to me, to most of us on this planet earth? We’re dreamers, we’re creators, so why don’t we create? And how can this site contribute to that?

And while thinking I realize i already made an exercise about relighting your desire, so it’s also not a new subject in the site. Let’s see if we can do some more there, as desire or dream seems to be the main thing, the main driver for, well, success I guess.

What hit me

Leave a reply

I still don’t know what hit me. It must indeed be something like ‘negative focus’ as Lynn Grabhorn describes in her book (see my previous post and the one before that). Somehow indeed I must have been focusing on ‘don’t want’s’. And how to turn it around, as also now I feel like I’m spreading negative energy like hell. This whole site is about inspiration, a very positive thing, and I’m just spreading negativity. So how can this ever take off if the initiator and the leader of this project is so negative? And that’s exactly the negative spiral I feel and the most stupid thing is that I KNOW what’s going on and I just let it happen.

And not only here, but also in my work, friendship, and if i look more deep in all areas of my life? I see what’s happening and somehow I’m not stopping it, somehow I have the feeling I can’t stop it.

But again, that’s also exactly what this site is all about. Books and stuff are so easy to read, but when you want to put things in practice sometimes it’s not that easy anymore. And maybe I should give myself some credit, because

Sun water and. My geneticfairness.org a it the this via.

also Lynn Grabhorn describes a very long down period in her life similar to the one I’m feeling myself right now. And also Napoleon Hill writes somewhere in Think and Grow Rich that most or even all successful people go through heartbreaking periods in their life and that even the ‘down point’ is actually the way to their success.

The weird thing is here that I am actually using the whole thing to be successful as this is supposed to be a real time success story. So this is actually very good if I read all the books: my down period should be the jumping board to my success, and that’s exactly how I got my idea for doing this whole thing live.

But it’s not funny. All or most success stories are written by people who are already there, who have left behind their struggles, their deepest points. And I’m in the middle of it, and believe me, it’s not funny. I just feel shit.

So I hope, and I should not ‘hope’ according to all the stories, but just ‘persist’ that in the end I can look back on this whole thing as really being the road to success, to get the one million dollar and such. But believe me, it’s not funny right now and I really feel shit, really feel down.

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.
