Inspiration for Success

Well, slowly I feel like starting to move again after I think weeks of relatively doing not so much. And I still don’t know what triggers these periods of activity or inactivity. Somehow it seems that there are things beyond our control, even though many ‘success‘ sites and books and maybe successful people make us believe otherwise. And no, what I am writing right now doesn’t sound like ‘inspiration’ or ‘how to achieve success’, but somehow it is reality, somehow we are different, somehow people are different. So somehow some people are not meant for ‘success‘.

And yes, of course I keep asking myself why God gave me this ambition, this drive to find success, where until now I didn’t really find it, at least not the success I was and am looking for. As somehow I have this drive, but only up to a certain point or something. It still feels like something is missing, something I don’t get, something that is still needed before I would really achieve the success I am looking for. But somehow I am also starting to believe that I am on the way now, that it is not as far as before, that I am getting closer, especially the last two years. And yes, I did learn things like being more patient and knowing the difference between being stubborn and being persistent. And I am also starting to notice that really successful people are indeed in their forties, fifties or sixties, not in their twenties or thirties, even though there are also many samples like that. But not that much, not as much as I thought, as I believed there were.

So yes, I think there is still a chance to be really successful, to have my Pajero and relationship as I want it, as I think how it should be. And have my holidays again.

So yes, let’s be patient and persistent, as that seem to be the key Principles of Success for me. Ah, yes, and self confidence, maybe even the most important. And yes, it is all in Think and Grow Rich. And yes, it takes time to understand, to realize, to experience.

Inspired action

I guess I’d rather call this post ‘inspired non-action’ as I didn’t feel like moving the last days, weeks. So also today, even though I did start moving a bit and even though some things ‘came to me’, I didn’t really feel like moving.

And even my planning, my daily to-do list is suffering from it.

But it just doesn’t feel good, it just doesn’t feel i should, or even could, move more, put more action.

So I’ll just wait, wait until I feel inspired for the right things, now.

Quiet

Things feel a bit quiet right now, but I hope it is the quiet before the storm. Nothing much to say today also and as usual it’s quite late, even though I wrote my Dutch post much earlier today.

So I think I’ll just call it quits for now.

Thanks for opening this page anyhow.

Being appreciated

I am still struggling with being appreciated, with having the feeling, or maybe the confirmation, that I am doing something useful. And I was thinking about that as I was just working on the tool I am developing to help you achieve more success by scoring yourself on each of the Principles of Success. And I was a bit frustrated, as I did not get any real feedback on it, except from one of the team members, who suggested that I should develop a more common tool about achieving goals, like a goal planning tool. But there are many goal planning tools available, probably better than I could ever imagine or build, so I don’t see any added value on that. And I also think I would not do justice to the ideas of Napoleon Hill by ‘just’ developing a goal achieving tool. As his ideas go much further than just achieving a goal, even though I think the Principles of Success could certainly help you achieve goals, any goal.

And yes, I am still confronted with my inability to create a team, to connect to people in a way that I would like, to inspire people to do, to create what I want, what I have in mind. As I believe that is what real leaders do. But no, on the contrary, I still find myself doing things myself instead of having people around me doing at least part of the work. But yes, I am starting to see now that there is indeed some kind of energy you can tap into as a human, an energy that can indeed create universes, so why not a simple website, a simple web application like I have in mind for Inspiration for Success. But until now I was still not able to really tap into that, even though the last few weeks a few times I felt some of the flow that I know belongs to that. So maybe indeed the keywords here are still patience and persistence.

But still, when looking at people like Bill Gates or Richard Branson they must have something I don’t have, as they seem to be able to create really big things. And they started doing that at a very young age.

So how to get my really big project of the ground? Patience? As that is where I feel the energy flow when presenting that or parts of it to people.

And yes, would you be willing to check my tools and use them or give feedback on them? Then at least I wouldn’t feel so alone and it may even help you on your way to success.

Learning to relax

I was tired the last few days and somehow (or of course) ended up with the following quote that I sent as the daily quote today:

“Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.”William S. Burroughs

And yes, somehow I have the feeling I am forcing things (again). So maybe just time to relax and wait, as I have all the information I need and many things have been put into place for great things to happen.

So just wait.
