Another accident

So today I had another accident. So how to make something inspiring from that? Yes, I got up quickly, looked at myself, saw the wounds were not that bad as before, saw that the motorcycle was still running, got myself together, got the motorcycle up, gathered the things that had fallen out and went back home.

So yes, they say no matter how often or how hard you fall just get up and continue. And it was easier than before, somehow, for me, as I had been there and nothing really serious had happened to me, at least at first sight.

But still I felt stupid, felt hurt, not only physically but also emotionally. I know I choose to ride that motorcycle as I don’t see any other option to move around conveniently, even though I know it’s dangerous. But it’s no fun actually. It’s just how it is and I don’t know how to change it. And I don’t know how to prevent falling again. The stupid thing is just dangerous. Or use other transportation, but that’s also dangerous and much more inconvenient.

The worst was that I got a whole sermon at home that I need to change. That this kind of thing is part of my pattern. That somehow I do it to get attention, no not consciously, but unconsciously. That I really need to change something here. And believing indeed that things happen because you attract them also made me think. And yes, I know I have to change some things. I know things happened just before that probably triggered it. But still, I don’t know how to change it, how to change.

And I can’t get the lesson from it. Yes, be more careful, drive more slowly, be more focused. But those are only words, I don’t really feel it. I can’t get to the actual lesson and my partner seems to feel it and is annoyed with it. Well, don’t you think I’m annoyed with it? And if I only knew how, of course I would change it straight away.

So yes, I’m way too hard on myself again I guess. And yes, somehow I’m playing the victim here still. But somehow I also feel like I am changing, do improve things, little things, but still, things.

And I need to stop that ‘improving things’ means that there is something wrong with me. Or is there? Napoleon Hill also states something like that in the end of the book Think and Grow Rich, to check what’s wrong with you as otherwise you would be successful, would be in the place you want to be.

Confusing.

So how can I be inspiring here? Or can I?

I know many people, maybe you, would be affected a lot more with an accident like this, while to me it was ‘just another accident’, I got up and rode away. So yes, no matter if you’re hurt, either emotionally or physically, you can just get up and move on, provided you were not hurt that bad that you can’t move anymore.

And yes, somehow I’m determined to do better, make things better, no matter what, even though it hurts and please don’t underestimate how hurt an humiliated I feel at the moment. And physical wounds heal, although sometimes they leave a trace. And emotional wounds also heal I guess, although I want to be very careful stating things about that.

But the lesson I’m still not fully sure of. Maybe I can find someone who is already successful (as I have in mind) say something about that. To inspire me, maybe to try to make clear or clearer to me what’s the most important lesson I have to learn.

Nice stuff on the internet

Working on myself, which inspired me to make this site goes back a long time. I’ve been in many groups, courses, visited psychologists, read a lot of books, etc. etc.

Recently, and it is weird, because I’m fifty years old now, things seem to slowly fall into place. And I’m starting to realize that people are different, that it may be that I am struggling more with life than the average person. Which I am a bit angry about, as I’m also starting to think that I missed a lot, missed a lot of fun, real fun, as i had my part, but mostly or always felt an underlying uneasiness.

Still not sure if I’m the minority in this. Could be. It could also be other people are less aware of it or something. Or are better in hiding it, burying it. Guess i or we will have to do some research on that for the site.

Anyhow, during my recent process related to this site I encountered quite some nice self help sites and was thinking to make a list of them, so if you are looking for some kind of self help program you could find some list here.

So how would I call that page? ‘Self help’ sounds too, well, don’t know how to say. Ah, maybe something like ‘self inspiration sites’, so that’s what I made: self inspiration sites.

World mindset

What I miss in the ideas of Napoleon Hill and similar principles of success is something like ‘common mindset’ or ‘group mindset’, even though he mentions what Gandhi accomplished.

As of the moment I experience the ‘mood’ or ‘mindset‘ in the world as very negative, which I also believe(?!) as affecting chances to financial success for individuals. I know there are still many, many people doing very well and maybe my own lack in achieving the success I am looking for is part of my thinking, but still, somehow i believe that world economy or world mindset is somehow important and should be influenced in a positive way.

It is still some kind of quest in my mind to do something about the current state of the world economy, the ‘world state of mind’ that I consider quite negative, especially in Europe and i think the Middle East. And somehow I also disagree with Napoleon Hill that somehow people ‘choose’ for poverty. Next that i believe in his ideas, I also believe that more people should benefit from all the riches in the world. That not only the successful should benefit from the achievements of human kind in all kinds of things. Not only material things, but also medical care, having holidays, etc., etc.

And in a way of course everybody does benefit, because as far as i know everyone has access to t.v. and practically everybody has a cellphone. But with current technology and efficiency everybody could have so much more.

If only we could find a better way of distribution, maybe more communist like.
