A Wonderful Trip

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I had just come back from my trip to New York and Miami. I traveled from New York to Miami on the Greyhound coach and it was a very enjoyable experience. one of my goals was to see a little more of the United states countryside as well as some of the towns and cities on the route that i wouldn’t ordinarily travel to if I had a choice. but being on the bus allowed me to travel through them.

I saw people from all walks of life on the bus. The educated and not so educated. The cultured and not so cultured. Those that have a little more in the bank and those that are not so well-off. I made some acquaintances and learned a little more about some cultures. All in all, it was a very enriching experience and I don’t regret it for one moment.

I also saw some beautiful roads and bridges and the scenery was at times breath-taking.

I rented an apartment in new york, but in Miami I stayed with friends who showered me with true over-the-top hospitality.

All of this help to remind me how truly blessed I am.

On thing that I found is that the more I am grateful, the more reasons I found too be grateful. in other words, things just show up that show me that i’m truly blessed.

If you find that your life is not going where you want it to go, then remember. Maybe the problem is that you don’t show enough appreciation for what you already have. So I want to encourage you to try some more gratitude and see what happens.

It has worked for me and may work for you too.

Start where you are, with what you have

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” – Arthur Ashe

What do you want… where you want to go… what do you want to accomplish? Well, whatever it is, the best place to start is right where you are, using whatever it is you want.

Many people wait for things to change, or for them to be in a new relationship, or to have more money before they start doing something. However the truth is that you’ll never started if that is your attitude.

Your ship will never come in. You have to swim out towards it. You have everything you need right where you are, even if it doesn’t seem like it.

If there is something you don’t like where you are right now, then change it. If you can’t change it, then accept it. It may be just what you need right now.

The greatest asset that you have right now, is your mind. If your mindset and your attitude is right you can do, be and have anything you want.

As you start using what you have, you’ll find that you’re starting to receive more. So be grateful for what you have and focus on what you want, not what is… because when you do, you’ll receive more of the same.

I’m still vacationing in Namibia, Africa right now. There are many things that I miss that I have in the Caribbean, such as the cheap Internet connectivity. But instead of worrying about that I appreciate what I have here, such as family and friends and good food, which I will not have when I return soon.

Is there something like being too grateful?

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

I remember a time when someone would do something for me, and I would be so grateful that I would thank them over and over. I’d sort of feel guilty that they would do something for me.

 Later I realized why I acted that way and why I felt that guilt.

 It is because I felt unworthy. I felt unworthy of receiving the thing I was given. And that is why I would thank that person over and over.

 Now this is not, only bad for you, it is also bad for the person who gives the gift. People don’t want you to be like that. Its ok to say thank you and move on or to show your gratitude in other ways. Anything more than that becomes an exercise that can be described as wallowing in your unworthiness.

Now that I look back at that time I realized that this is one of the reasons why I could never succeed, no matter what I tried. If you want to succeed, you have to BECOME a SUCCESSFUL PERSON.

Successful people beieve in themselves. They don’t let anything hold them down. They declare that they are worthy and they are aware of their worthiness and they act in ways that show they are worthy. Of course they are grateful for what they have, but they don’t get stuck in it.

People love others who are confident, and who know what they want. They don’t like people who beg or act in other ways that show they are unsure of themselves.

Many people thing that you have to have money or be related to someone rich or famous to be worthy. It is not so. Worthiness is something that YOU ARE! You don’t receive it from somewhere outside of you or because of your association to something or someone.

You cannot give away what you don’t have. You cannot be happy or make others happy without without feeling worthy.

So if you struggle to succeed in any area of your life, then this is definitely something to look at – To discover more tools for successful living visit my website http://how-to-manifest-your-desires.com and subscribe to my Free Newsletter.
