Free like a bird!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to post some thoughts for few hours ago, and now I lost it.

Anyways, I'm enjoying the long weekend and I should be preparing for my English exam this Tuesday. Somehow it is so complicated to find the disciplin for revising.

I may see what I can do this Tuesday. Writing this post will help a bit, maybe.

Well, I had my race last Wednesday. I didn't make it within the 30 minutes, which I looked for. It took me 33:38 :-( I may say I was bit disappointed. Because I know I can make it within the 30 minutes. So I went out for a 5km jogging today. The next race is on 14th of June. I've to improve my running skills, lol.

Lately I've not been on the higher frequencies so I made up myself to catch the loose ends so I can concentrate my mind and do my tasks perfectly.

I may admit that perfection somehow left my mind for years now. Order and improvement are words which I don't use that much energy on. Perfection is such a beautiful word. And I still remember how much effort I've put on certain things to come out with the best results when I was back in school. 6 years after university period, and I'm here well-knowing I can do much better than this.

I had the great pleasure to read the first chapters in this book "The Postive Principle to day" by Norman Vincent Peale. (Of course I'm reading the Danish version: Positiv tænkning og handling" :-)

And more I read from it more I realised that a particular word has filled my mind for several years now. The author is using the word "imPOSSIBLE", and how devastating this word can be for people's mind and ability. And for me it has always been this particular sentence: "I don't think I can or I can not...!" Ahhh...I had this sentence as the first one which will probably come out from my mouth if I was introduced to something new. Fortunately the use of this sentence is loosing its intensity, and nowadays I catch myself saying this.

I'm really fascinated by the human mind and its ability to make everything and anything possible - as long as you believe in it. And it really seems like I've wasted years not using the power in our human mind. Why?...simply because of my habitual thinking. And more I started believing on the statement "I can not", sooner I give up. I don't fight, I don't look into myself to get the best performance out of each opportunity. I give up even before I start to think whether if it is possible or not.

But I'm not gonna live with this. I made up my mind in this minute to not say or think the sentence again. The only thing is, that I've all the abilities to achieve everything I want. For a change I would start my sentence for all and every task I've to do with this: I can do this!

Yes I can!

Aah, see, this seems incredibly easy. And maybe it is. I just have to make it into this group of my habitual thinking!

Robins S. Sharma says in his book "The monk who sold his Ferrari" (Danish version: "Munken der solgte sin ferrari" and Tamil version: "Thanathu pokkisathai vitra thuravi") that it takes 21 days to make a new manner your habit. We will see whether he is right on his statement.

Before I finish this post, there was something amazing which I realised this weekend. How wonderful it is to let people chase their dreams. I often use to think about the consequences it may cause and get worried. I often use this way of thinking when it comes to my siblings and parents. I've to comment on their decisions. I could worry about what the next "problem" could be. But what you don't know is nothing worth to worry about. And if a specific matter makes one of your loved ones happy, then why don't you let them chase their dream? And when letting your loved ones do what they really want to do, you understands the exact meaning of "feeling free like a bird". Nothing to worry about. You just know that it is their matter, and if it would make them happy, then you will be happy on their behalf. I'm the eldest in our family, so maybe I've my reasons for my way of thinking. But right now I got rid of it. And yeah I'm feeling like a bird. So much freedom, to be the one I always wanted to be. I quess every relationships will succeed if we just give eachother room and let people chase their own dreams in stead of convincing them to chase our dreams. Yeah I learned a little more of life's wisdom... :-) Better late than never ;-)

Now it is time to sleep after enjoying a wonderful day!

Good night!

Forgiveness

Today started as planned with 5km jogging early morning before work.

I'm preparing for this year's 5km race. It is already tomorrow.

Last year my race was almost a disaster. 33 minutes to run 5 km :-(

This year is more promising: 29-30 minutes "only". Actually I wanted to do it within 25 minutes. Since last summer it has been one of my goals. Somehow I couldn't make it. This year I've to.

There are already another two races next month for women only. There have never been any excuses not to be fit, and absolutely no excuses when the summer is almost here. It is simply time to make last year's summer dresses to fit well (again).

Now I'm almost on the right track with these races, jogging regularly etc, it may be time to explore another of my neglected areas: Forgiveness.

It has always been a complicated part to forgive people from within your heart. And I have some unsorted matters from the last decade! It is always so easy to convince yourself that you have forgiven somebody. But the more you get into that particular matter, the sooner you will realise the fact that you only have repressed it. Facing the forgiveness part is tough, no doubt about it. Ask anyone. Unfortunately it is also damn so important to clean up the mess by forgiving those you are not willing to see in your life anylonger. And it is also damn so important to forgive those you really want becoming a part of your life in the very near future.

Without forgiveness I have run into the same wall again and again. Lately I started to understand why the same incidents happened again and again. I haven't let things go. And to let things go, I simply have to go through the tough part and forgive people, incidents, etc. - you like it or not, it has to be faced.

So my next bigger project is to examine myself for any unsolved matters - to give forgiveness from bottom of my heart even it has been a simple and silly matter.

This year started so well, and I've never felt more alive in my entire life: It is time to forgive. And I will do it!

Have a wonderful day!

A lot to learn

I've used my whole evening setting up my blog, and still there is a lot to learn. Anyways it has been little fun to explore this world of HTML codes ...........and I give up :-)

Good night!

For a very long time, to be more precise around 6 years ago, I wanted to create a blog/website, where I could write whatever hits my mind. To share my thoughts with the rest of the world with similar interests as me. Last year I created a group on facebook and started to write some of the thoughts I wanted to share with similar minded people. Today I had this great opportunity to create my own blog. I simply don't know why I haven't thought about this page a while ago. Anyways, today I could do it. I have pasted a text from my group on facebook. The text is written on 14th Dec, 2009. Still I find it reasonable to add it here: The ideas behind why I want to have a blog/group.

Have a wonderful day!

I hope you all are having a wonderful day, and I am having a wonderful day too.

I would like to write few more things about the reasons behind the idea of creating this group.

As mentioned above, it has been an inner desire for a very long time.
Recently I am having the pleasure of reading several writings by authors where personal growth and the opportunity creating your dream life are the main keywords. And I simply can NOT read all those good writings without sharing it with people with similar interests.

I did recommend books to few friends and relatives, but I rather like to have a place, where I can be inspired by others, their recommendations of new ways of thinking and not least inspire others by my own experiences.

The best way to be inspired is by reading about people's own experiences. And therefor I send a earnest request to all to not hesitate writing your own or dear one's experiences.

While creating this group a certain thought came to my mind. I want to write about my experiences using a pseudonym. Do I really have the strength to share my thoughts with people I may not know personally.
And then another wonderful thought hit my mind and convinced me. It stood so clear. If I dare not to write under my own name about my very own experiences, then I should not start a blog at all sharing my thoughts.

We all may have thoughts and dreams. We dare not to tell anybody about it. But at the moment we realise that there is nothing, and here I really mean nothing to be afraid of, life seems incredibly easy. And why not take the easy shortcut and experience more of the wonders world has to offer us?
Why should we use our precious time and energy thinking about what the rest of the world has to say, if we just could step forward on the path our inner heart find so safe and convenience to be on?
