Evaluation

I still have the feeling it is somehow time for some kind of evaluation. And I wrote about it before as far as I remember, but I never really did make an evaluation, at least not on paper, not looking at where I am standing related to what I wrote down, what I decided.

But yes, I am more relaxed than before, more patient, as I think most things just take time, just need to be done at the right time as Abraham Hicks states so nice. As he says something somewhere that if things don’t feel good, they probably aren’t good. And that if things feel good, they probably are good. And also that procrastination is not a bad thing, as things need to be aligned, the Universe needs to line things up.

And that is also what I feel more and more. That I am part of something bigger, of a bigger plan. That I can’t do it all alone, meaning also that I also don’t need to do it all alone.

And last Friday was maybe a perfect example of how things can fall into place if you don’t force them, if you are not annoyed with delays and such. As after my meeting with someone, that person had another meeting. And that other meeting was with I think the most important person related to my project, to my projects. So isn’t that coincidence?

Well, I don’t think so.

So be patient, wait, wait for the right time and follow your heart, follow your feeling.

Just let life happen

Someone posted in Facebook the quote “You can’t control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen“. And I think that is just what I needed to hear. As indeed, it is so little what you can do alone, as one human being. The more I look at it, the more I see that it is really humanity, or maybe ‘life’ that makes things happen. And yes, we are each part of it and we each contribute something to it. But in the bigger picture it is just ‘life’. So relax, let’s relax.

Every day

Not easy to write a, or actually two, inspirational posts. And I admire more and more people who really manage to write or e-mail something useful every day, or even every week. And yes, I still make the bed every day, something I kind of started with. But that is a task you don’t really need to think about, that’s just a simple task. But writing something new, preferably inspiring, is something completely different. And yes, somehow I like to write (or to talk :)), as often I write quite long e-mails for example. But those are mostly for business, where I want to achieve something, some result or something. But just writing for you, for readers, well, that’s still something else.

But yes, I guess it’s just too much what I want, writing something good, something inspiring every day, next to all my other tasks, next to my work especially, even though I am not that busy lately.

But like today I was busy, not really with work, but with my project, my internet project, my project to improve The Philippines, internet in The Philippines.

And yes, that project inspires me, that project is easy to spend time on, more than anything else. So would that really be my final success, would that really be something in life where I finally really achieve something, for others, but maybe also for myself?

Well, time will tell, but yes, somehow it feels different than anything I have ever done before. And somehow people are replying now to me and some people even seem to be ‘in’ the project, even though nothing has been formalized.

So let’s see. Exciting times.

Popularity

Well, interesting, people checking my LinkedIn profile. And of course everybody would be wondering what is my relation with internet and submarine cables. As there is nothing like that in my LinkedIn profile. And even someone called me ‘weird’, which I guess it’s true.

But the truth is that I am starting to believe that I can actually do something, even in a new industry, in an industry I hardly know anything about. And yes, that somehow confidence is key. And persistence of course. And the weird thing is that somehow also other people believe in me and are somehow interested in my ‘crazy’ ideas.

So it seems there is some truth in it, that it is lonely at the top, that there are not so many people doing the real big things, going for something big.

So yes, time will tell if I indeed will achieve something big. But somehow my confidence is growing and somehow I get the feeling the Universe is starting to help me. And yes, I did change my outlook, my focus. Indeed, looking more to do something for other people, in this case trying to provide Filipinos with better internet.

So thank you, Napoleon Hill, who inspired me for all those things and makes me believe. And thank you, person who gave me the book, even though how that went was kind of strange, even embarrassing.

So yes, God has strange ways to achieve things.

Thank you, Lord.

Before The Matrix

Bound movieAs far as I knew The Matrix was the first movie produced by the Wachowski Brothers, but I just found out that they made a movie before the Matrix Trilogy, the movie Bound. So when I found out of course I decided to download it, as The Matrix Trilogy is one of my most favorite movie experiences I have ever experienced, if not the best or at least most interesting movie experience ever. And every time I watch part of it I see something new. Like a few days ago, when I accidentally saw it on TV I realized that Smith says somewhere in the first Matrix movie that if Zion is destroyed he is going to be deleted. And I never realized that. And it is even the most basic foundations of the movie, programs being deleted, like humans going to die. And I never realized it also applied to Smith, so this gives a whole new dimension to the story for me. And believe me, I think I know the movies well and know many of the kind of hidden details and stories and philosophies and whatever, so seeing something new after seeing those movies so many times is exciting.

So I just watched it and it is a good movie with a very interesting plot. And the start reminded me a bit of The Matrix as the music sounds familiar, so probably they used the same composer.

And I thought I had nothing inspiring to share today, but it seems I still have, as my new discoveries, the discovery about Smith not being needed anymore if Zion is destroyed and this first movie of Wachowski Brothers is quite exciting to me.

And yes, I admire the Wachowski Brothers more and more, even now, as I have no clue how they pulled off something like The Matrix with so many angles from so many disciplines in life.
