Could use a little inspiration myself

Well, biggest question is starting to be how would we inspire you, inspire you to be successful. That would start with something like what is success, or better, what is success for you?

So if you are looking to be inspired best click on the link what is success for you. If you just want to listen to me, to my story, just read on, as this is a blog post, my blog post, and they mostly are about me, about my life, about my experiences.

I got some comments about that, that most posts are about me, and i realized that is true. And I think I made a mistake there, as I was hoping and expecting that people would just read my stuff and be inspired by that. But I’m starting to realize that it’s not that simple. If you want to be the best site in the world on something, and that’s what I want this site to be, you’ll have to do work, do research, produce stuff that people can really use, stuff that helps them on their way to success, inspires them. And that may be fully different than what i think or know about success, motivation and inspiration. That may be fully different what I think inspiration is, than what inspires me. That may be fully different from what I think that success is or what motivates me.

So yes, quite some job to do, but learning and somehow also more motivated, as it’s starting to be real work now and not just hobby.

So what would inspire me now? Well, I guess what would inspire me at this moment would probably be more people visiting this site and even more, getting more comments on it, so I would feel more I’m working on something for other people, for the world..

Troubled soul searching for destiny

Leave a reply

I just got confirmed that there seems to be a lot of negativity in me, which of course seeps through to this website/blog. The person who told me actually also kind of implied to me that a better name for this website might be something like “Troubled soul on difficult path searching for destiny” than “Inspiration for Success”.

As I consider myself as positive, at least in the sense that I believe my intentions are good, that my heart is good, that I am a good man (and the last sometimes is confirmed to me by others) and that I want all the good in the world for everybody, this was a bit a difficult thing to hear, or actually to hear confirmed.

Of course I know all this. Of course I know how I am writing my blog posts, mostly starting with my troubles, telling my story and at the end a short inspirational message. And it also kind of bothered me earlier, although this website consists of two parts and I hope mainly the blog part has this ‘negativity’:

a ‘pages’ part with real information about inspiration, success and related subjects, including tools and exercises and such;
the ‘blog’ part where I write blog items, indeed about me, about my road, about my life.

And as of now the blog part is quite negative, often about negative experiences I have, as indeed as of the moment, and looking back, I have been struggling a lot. And indeed, the blog items are about me, about my issues, about what I am struggling with, not about you.

Thinking further, this whole thing is kind of intentional, as I am looking for followers, ‘souls’, who are similar to me. I am looking to connect with people like me. And I feel very lonely, very lonely in life, very lonely on my journey on earth. And very misunderstood. So that’s what I’m writing about, so my blog will be found by the right people.

What struck me most in the whole conversation was that my conversation partner also told me that there are not so many souls like me, not so many souls with a similar mission or purpose on earth. So also not with a similar struggle, or that many may not even struggle at all like me.

He told me that people are very different, probably more different than I think. And that if the purpose of this website is really to inspire people for success, I might want to consider to make it more practical for more types of groups, for more types of souls. And I’m thinking now that I might want to indeed emphasize things like spiritual inspiration and spiritual success more, not only earthly success of success as I see it.

Inspiration for you

Yes, today I finally found some time to work a bit more on the pages part of this website. Due to other priorities i had set for myself i did not work on that for a week or so, even though to me the pages part of this site in the end would probably be the most important part, giving all kind of information about achieving success and inspiration for success.

And maybe just to show off, this website is probably already much bigger than it appears as it has many pages related to inspiration and the principles of success that are not in menu’s or something.

So while working on the page What is Success I realized a bit more what the basic goal of this website should be, like inspiring you for your success.

So what is success for you?

All kinds of things needed

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.

Spring always follows winter

Leave a reply

I was in a Buddhist meeting this afternoon and I found it an inspiring meeting. And even though I don’t consider myself a Buddhist (yet?) the message of Buddhism is very similar to what I am trying to achieve with this site: be successful in life. As I understand now Buddhists use chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to achieve Buddhahood, meaning something like being at peace or being at peace with yourself or just ‘be’. And something like achieve what you are supposed to achieve or to be. Or at least that’s my interpretation now.

So what was inspiring? Well, basically the story of a woman who told about her winter in life, where everything seemed to go wrong, where they went bankrupt, lost everything. But her chanting helped her through and she went from winter to spring and seems very confident and positive about the future now. So to me this chanting is related to the faith and belief my favorite books talk about. And of course the reading out loud that is often suggested from my books of course relates to the Buddhist chanting aloud, including the repeating thing. And to me the chanting of this strange phrase also relates to the Infinite Intelligence Napoleon Hill relates to.

Also inspiring was being in a group, in a group of people believing in something, believing in a similar or the same thing. This relates to me to the Master Mind principle and I felt the power of the group.

And inspiring was indeed the idea of spring always follows winter, also in life. At least I guess that is true, although I’m still a bit scared it may not always be true or something like winter can still get colder.

But no matter what, I am starting to believe that everything is about belief and that if you have the belief you can achieve virtually anything.

So just believe.
