A root of Passion
Via this blog I will be reporting about my quest for finding and incorporating my passions into my daily life. It will be my personal dairy on this journey and perhaps in the process an inspiration for you to do the same!

Creating your day

Posted In: , , , . By Edwin Jansen

In the movie The Secret there is a mentioning of the creation of your day box.

I had some quite remarkable experience with it the last couple of days. The other day I had to go for a renewal of my driving license. I made an appointment a couple of days before, but somehow forgot about it. The morning I had to go for the renewal I almost forgot about it. Just 20 minutes before I realized that I had the appointment. So I quickly grabbed my driving license and got into my car. When I reached the county office there was a vacant parking space as I had imagined. But then at the parking meter I realized I  had no means to pay for the parking space. So I got back into my car and drove to the nearest parking garage. That was okay because it was right underneath the county office. Standing at the county office counter I realized that I had left my driving license in my car. The woman at the counter said she would wait for me as I was getting my driving license.  when I returned I realized I had forgotten to take my head shot photos for the driving license with me that morning. Some morning this turned out to be! 
The woman at the counter told me there was a photographer right around the corner and he would be able to make pictures for me at 9:00am. So I went to the photographer finding out that he did not open until 9:30am. so I went to the supermarket on the other side of the road and did some shopping. I got my head shot pictures and return to the county office. There I filled in the application for my new driving license and paid with the banknotes I just taken out of the ATM at the supermarket. I went back to the parking garage finding out I had needed does banknotes to pay for the parking garage! so I went back to the supermarkets ATM and paid for the parking garage and I was finally off to work. Next Tuesday I will have to get back for the new license.
I guess this is what happens if you don't consciously create your day. You just get whatever happens! 
So the next morning I tried to create my day consciously as I got out of bed and yes I got those green traffic lights again! It was really amazing and everything went as smooth as I had wished for. No stange quirks like the day before as it was business as ussual.
Well I will still have to experiment a lot more with this but there seems to be some merit in the proposition that you should create your day consciously! I sure did not think I consciously created this cold I am having now.. so there is still something more to it I guess.
Have a great weekend!

Through my serious work on The Secret I have come to learn a lot the last couple of days. And I must say it is amazing!

I have been using the pointers in the film to affirm the following two things on a regular basis:
1. Whenever I drive my car and 'meet' a traffic light it has either already turned green or it is turning green within a minute.

2. I am getting things for free or get large discounts or get checks in the mail.
And ladies and gentlemen the results are.... hilarious.. amazing.. fun.. so good... it must be true!
I have had a few instances on #1 when I knew I had a traffic light coming up a half a mile ahead and it turned green just as I was approaching it! I haven't had such a good laugh while driving my car in ages! And I can only be grateful for it. I just had to say thanks in the moment!
On n#2.. this was amazing too. I had just thought this affirmation a few times the day before and the next day as I got home from work I found a coupon for 20 euro in the mail to spend for free on clothes at my favourite store! I had been thinking about the nice clothes I could wear if I was 70kg in weight instead of my current weight and I was really stunned when I saw the coupon! 
This law of attraction stuff works! And really fast too!
In the other instance I came across an email in my spam section of gmail. I was somehow attracted to looking in the spam section. And I saw an email for a piece of software I use on trail basis and I was offered to participate in a survey and get the software for free if I did! So I didn't hesitate and responded right away. And again smiling and giving thanks immediately!
If this stuff works on these things I must open myself up for greater things. I will commit myself to do that and report to you about it. Because just like almost everyone... you won't believe it untill you experience yourself that it does work. So I encourage you, do visualize and affirm to yourself that -for example- a parking spot will be right there, where and when you want it!
And have fun doing it! I sure am smiling a lot lately!

I was just trying to clear out the mess on my diner table when I noticed I had a stack of bills for all the books and cd's I order the last few months and I have been postponing to pay. Some books and cd's I have really enjoyed reading the last months. 

As most of us I have had a hate relationship with bills all my life. I must say that it has become easier the last years since I had more money to spend, but I always resented paying them. 
I am just listening to the Secret - I have the movie on my computer right now - and somehow I had a sudden inside into how to relate to paying bills in a way that is empowering and fulfilling. A way that gives me a sense that by paying the bill I really do something good for myself!
I know this may be hard to swallow for the most of us, but realize that nothing in the universe is in it's essence right or wrong or good or bad. It only gets that way by your decision! That company that send you the bill for the good or service didn't do that to annoy you or to make you feel bad. It does so to remind you of the good or service you received and that it is only logical that you should reciproce that.
This is the insight I had...
If you pay a bill you GIVE to the universe. Think about that. You are giving something to all that there is. With a emphasis on giving! 
For those who have seen the movie The Moses Code must know what I am talking about. The movie is about giving. But I sidetrack, back to my insight.
By giving you tell the universe that you LIKE TO GIVE. It is that simple! If you also express your gratefulness for the good or service you received -yes it is also about receiving not only giving- then you tell the universe that you like to give AND receive. The universe will reward you by giving you more means of giving and receiving, in essence bringing you more money! And that will enable you to receive more and give more, it becomes a growing cycle! And in the meantime you will get what you really want. Because -be honest- you can only be honestly gratefull for something you really enjoy having. 
Stop stopping this beautifull spiral of giving and receiving by hating to pay the bill, by postponing it! All that that brings you is less and less means of buying the goods and services you really want to receive! Stop doing that! Because it will create debt in your life, because you do want those goods and services!
The person in the movie the Secret that is still running on my pc as I am typing just said: "if it feels good the universe will bring you more of it". Amazing! That really sums up this insight into a new mindset around paying bills!
Be honestly and happily gratefull for the good or service that you received when you pay the bill and the universe will bring you more of it!
The more gratefull you are when paying the bill, the more the universe will multiply the sum that you pay and the sum it will return to you. Thus enabling you to give much more than the sum that you just payed! Think about that for a while...
Have fun giving and receiving and it will multiply in your life!
Enjoy life!

I just finished the wire transfer to Life Succes coaching a few hours ago. I am listening to the Secret by Ronda Byrne in audio on my iPod shuffle right now and thought I have to report to you about my progress. 

At first I thought let's follow the presidential elections on CNN, but then I thought I still got to install the new 2 times 1 Gb memory modules in my laptop and then I realized come on Edwin make the transfer. I just found out this afternoon at work that I just needed the BIC/SWIFT bank code for the wire, so it was easy. Now let's see if the bank approves it fast! I can not wait to start in the program.
Knowing The Secret I have to be thinking about it being approved tommorow!!! [It did get approved right the next morning]
I am beginning to like this The Secret-stuff. Just yesterday when I just signed my Life Succes coaching contract and send it back by mail I just got really happy. It was also as if I was floating! 
Really strange but nice though! I haven't smiled so spontaniously when I am on my own for some time and it feels great!
I also read about providence yesterday. Providence will take over as soon as you get into the right frequency it says. Well that is perhaps the most difficult thing to get into my head. I have been learned to think practical, physical, economical, systematical. I have made my job out of creating software for 10 years now, so I know how to think that way. But I am really more and more getting the feel for this thinking about nature as being one great energy field and that thoughts are energy in creation. It just feels right. I have been 'praying' lately for my parents, who have just broken up a few months ago. It has been a very tough decision, because the have been together for more than 40 years! It has had a profound effect on me too, it has been the starting point for me questioning my own life. Today and in the past.
I want them really to be happy. I understand now that they have been unhappy and/or have been stuck in their ways for too long. I wish them both the best life they can have for the rest of their alloted time here on earth. And that can be some time... I always 'joke' that I want to become one hundred and fifty years! As the Secret says to... better watch out what you ask for... you will get it!
Well I will go get a peak at the presidential elections now.
I wish you all the best you want in life!

I just tried to call the contact over at Life Succes Coaching with Bob Proctor in the USA. I will go and make my first deposit today to start enrolling into the program to become a Personal Life Succes coach myself.
I can not get anymore excited at this moment than this! This is my out of the box moment!
I know it will take determination and I will have to learn a lot, but deep down inside I know:
I will make this work!
Please help me stay on track in the coming months. I will need a support group as I read in Darel Rutherford's book Being the solution. I will be coached personally during the program but it sure would be nice to have some nice, not overly critical supporters while I try to turn around my life in the direction of my dreams!
I will keep you posted. For now let me try to reach my contact again. The phone was busy just a while ago...

I have been reading self help and self development books for over 10 years now and I must admit I had this book in my possesion for quite a while. But I hadn't come around reading it until just a few days ago.

Reading Being the Solution by Darel Rutherford is really a marker in my search for happiness, success and an understanding of myself as a spiritual being. I cannot conclude otherwise than that being rich or succesfull is a spiritual thing. It is a basic choice of how you want to be. I must admit I do not have it sunk in really yet, but my gut feeling tells me this is my way to go.
As I said I have been doing my job for 10 years and lately I am getting less and less joy out of it. Furthermore I know that I want to be more outside riding my mountainbike and being in nature. Rather than sitting at my computer making software every day. It is not that I do not enjoy it, but I know I can be and do more than that!
Just a week ago I woke up in the middle of the night with a sudden insight. I have read about giving and I have seen the Moses Code film. I really got the urge to start giving to people that which I want the most for myself. And that is learning to lead a fullfilling life, doing what I really love to do!
And so I will be so bold... So here are my two major goals for the rest of my life at this moment (because there will be other goals of course)!
1. I will be the best personal life coach I can be!
and
2. I will be the best mountainbike guide I can be!
That are the two most important things to me right now. Being able to get my live on the road to these two goals and riding my mountainbike in the Alps as much as I can!
So my two goals are literally about giving to others what I like to do the most. And as Darel points out you can't get out of your box unless you make a being choice. So I just did! Let's see where this is going to take me from now on...
Here and now I will make a promise to report my progress and thinking process as much as I can via this blog. I hope you'll enjoy it too...

Welcome...

Sometimes people get a wake up call that there life isn't heading where it is supposed to be. Well I am one of them.

This blog is dedicated to my search for getting out of my box and changing into the person that I really want to be.
I have been a computer programmer for more than 10 years now and I have always told people that I won't be doing this all my life.
Now it is time for me to change. I have a fair good idea of what I want and now it is time to go for it!
I will try to report as much as I can on my journey to fullfilling this new dream. In the mean time enjoy it and perhaps get inspired yourself to step out of your box!
