I wrote my previous post on the 21st of April 2024. I was going to post updates weekly, but I had to deal with some health issues.
I was only going to post positive updates, but one of my subscribers suggested that I post the realities that I am facing in my life. The posts should reflect the difficulties, successes, and failures that I am dealing with.
I thought about this deeply and have decided to post the actual reality that I am experiencing, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I have been off work since the 22nd of April 2024 and hope to return to work on the 10th of May 2024.
I had to go through some surgery, but I am on the path to recovery. My employers don’t pay any sick leave and I have never claimed statuary sick pay from the government, as it does to amount to much.
In case you are wondering what I do for a living, I work as a security officer. I work 12-hour long night shifts.
As I write this post, I can feel the pain in my lower back. I have been taking Ibuprofen 600mg 3 times daily. I have also been focusing on good times from my past to take the attention away from the pain.
Many Unfortunate Incidents
Currently, there have been many unfortunate incidents that I have to deal with in my life. My son is still recovering from a road traffic accident, he has been going through a lot of emotional stress.
My wife has been ill for the past few days, I have been trying to help her as much as I can, but my lower back pain is restricting my ability to do more.
I need to take my wife to the hospital for eye surgery on the 28th of May 2024, as one of her eyes has been watering constantly.
I have also been called up for jury service, but I have managed to postpone it till the end of September 2024. My employers don’t pay for the day that I am off for jury service. I will get around £60 daily from the court.
I will need to be off for a minimum of 14 days, £60 daily will leave me short again to cover my monthly expenses.
This year (2024) has started in a bad way for me, but I am trying to reprogram my subconscious mind to make things better.
Still Continuing With My Reading
I have just managed to complete reading “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” by Dr. Joseph Murphy. It took me a long time to read this book as I had to deal with a lot of difficult events in my life.
Books that I have read since starting Grow Your Thoughts:
As A Man Thinketh - by James Allen
Psycho-Cybernetics - by Dr. Maxwell Maltz
How To Win Friends And Influence People - by Dale Carnegie
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind - by Dr. Joseph Murphy
From reading these books, I have learned that it is important to what what you truly want in your life. You also need to believe that you will be able to achieve or get what you want in your life.
Our success or failure in life is determined by the self-image that we have stored in our minds. This consists of the beliefs that we have built up over time. We can alter the limiting beliefs by reprogramming our subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind can be reprogrammed by repeated imagery, mental movies, and affirmations carried out with emotion. We need to feel and experience the outcome in the mind and body before it manifests in reality.
If you want to become successful in life and business, you need to learn to deal with people positively. You need to become interested in people for them to become interested in you.
Your network does play a crucial part in determining your net worth. Associating with successful people will enable you to also become successful.
It has been difficult for me to write this post, but I had to let you all know what I am going through. I appreciate all the feedback and support from readers of this newsletter.
184 Subscribers
Currently, I have 184 subscribers, it is growing slowly but steadily. I know that I have not been able to provide content regularly. There have been things happening in my life, I know that this is not a valid excuse.
I am working towards getting my life back on track again after several setbacks. You only fail when you give up, and I don’t intend to give up!
I know many people are going through struggles in their lives. We all go through struggles, it’s how we deal with the struggles that shape our lives and our future.
I have found that it is best to analyse our problems and get to the root cause. We can resolve the problems effectively by tackling the root cause instead of the problems that are brunching from the root cause.
I have noticed that my problems have become a cycle that I go through over time. I have started to look at the root cause to eliminate these problems for good.
Stop Patching Things Up
I have had enough of just patching things up and carrying on until it all falls apart again and another patch is required.
I know that I will have to work extensively on my self-image and replace the programs in my subconscious mind that are holding me back from the lifestyle that I desire.
I have stopped comparing myself to others and I am working towards creating a lifestyle that makes me happy. I have some core values that I will not compromise at any cost.
I will create a better lifestyle whilst still keeping my core values intact. I have been through a lot in my life, but I will not compromise my fundamental beliefs.
Some beliefs will need to be altered as they are holding me back from making progress. I will need to transform my beliefs related to money and family values.
I have only just started to chip away at the tip of the iceberg, there is a lot of work to be done. It will be a lifelong journey towards becoming the best that I can be.
I will continue sharing updates and the knowledge that I acquire as the journey progresses. Thank you for reading this post and please subscribe to this newsletter.
FELICES Y GRACIAS
Recalling the myth, when Pandora was tricked by her own nature to open a jar, which is said to be the reason we all have our teath, disease, poverty, crime, famine and war. Thus a lot we all bear. When she panicked and put the lid back on, hope was stuck half way inside and half way outside. Therefore, disparity was the result. This was no accident, as the story unfolded exactly as planned by Zuez, because he did not want mankind to discover the light within- that was given by Prometheus. Whatever it is in life that gets your curiosity, keep the lid off -and discover the light within.
I for one encourage making sure life doesn't go as planned. That is because I have a belief that we all live with a set of predeterminism, as one can allude to with a Natal chart (astrology). Certain events will happen according to the stars in your personal life. But don't mistake bad events as something to be worried about. They can lead towards some of our greatest discoveries.
