My "Secret" Experiment: Day 16


Thoughts produce feelings, feelings initiate action, and action precedes results. If there is anything I have learned from watching, listening, and reading The Secret during this experiment it's that just because I want something really bad doesn't mean it's going to appear before my eyes, as the movie often depicts in it's slightly too hollywoodesque dramaticisms (I totally just made up that word).

I understand that it is trying to get the point across that we can have anything we truly set our thoughts upon, but I feel it's missing a vital piece of the process in the action that is going to be necessary to take to get where we want to go. Nonetheless it has inspired millions to improve their well being, and at that, it has served the purpose intended.

The Difficulties

I am in a state of mind and being now where I am constantly conscious of my feelings -and it has become quite alarming. I don't know how different I am from everybody else, but the negative thoughts and emotions I have on a daily basis heavily outweigh the positive outlook I should be having.

I can declare all I want how positive I am but if I don't feel it as a feeling it really doesn't matter. This is usually followed by an internal dilemma about my belief that my life really is changing for the better, and I'm not making any progress in the matter.

Sounds depressing doesn't it! But it's not; it's progress, it's awareness, and it's hope that whatever I am doing is working because it is making me aware of my negative expectations of my day and reminding me that I don't have to live that life - I can create my own with the right thoughts; with gratitude towards everything I have, with the belief that my life is going to be everything and more that I could have imagined.

Sorry For The Tangent

I really didn't mean to go off on such a tangent, but as part of the experiment I think it's important I document the positive things that happen to me as well as the struggles. On a much more positive note, I launched GuamLand.biz, part of the Guam Real Estate Resource family.

I've also published, as the online portion of my land presentation to interested developers, a chance for a multi-million dollar potential land deal for a planned residential subdivision. I also completed a very, very basic website for a fellow realtor at TriniGuamProperties.com, which is the first of three that will be going up soon.
Whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve

Status Of Goals

My income has officially doubled with my first real paycheck since I've been back in Guam. My mom found a few rocks that she thought might meet my requirements for my gratitude rock - and so far they are working as their purpose intended, but more about that tomorrow. The last thing needed to accomplish my goals is the official signing of my open listings for some main highway prime commercial space- talk about good exposure! Be looking for those website listings soon!

I like the way that you have incorporated your "Secret" mentality with your blogging.  Keep on sharing.  The developer property in Guam.  Is it already entitled with a land plan or does it need to go through entitlement?

Kate: It would need to go through entitlement, but I will be finalizing a pocket listing for another piece that is entitled with a land plan for the same developers. Thanks for the encouragement!

Really fun an intersting blog. . I think it is easier to stay positive among the palm trees and beach. I am in the mountains and look out my window at the view and get positive too

Hi Gabriel! I think its great you post the good and the bad. :)  It starts with thoughts...most things do.....then the feelings (very important) and equally important....action!! I like watching you make this journey and I make it with you. I still have to change my thought process and I'm working on it. :)

Charlie: Thanks for the compliment! I am so very fortunate to be living in this island paradise, and it's great to hear you appreciate your environment too - it's so easy to take things for granted.

 Pamela: You've been so supportive and encouraging from day 1, I can't thank you enough. I can only believe that you're progressing just as I am to live in the present and create the life that we want to live on a daily basis.

I just watched the preview from your link...interesting. I for one had to go through the whole cognitive restructuring and changing the thinking started with that awareness. It's a good thing ...I know. I've been there and contantly am there. It's a lifetime of work on "self" ... and my thought process was real ingrained (old haha) I appreciate your opening up here. Not often I see this and I will stay tuned I believe. Thanks for contributing to the Postive group. Need more of this.

Sally: I understand what you mean completely! It's definitely a lifelong process, as I am coming to realize more and more. But instead of making it a battle, I'm going to enjoy the process and the boundless opportunity that lies before me!

Thanks for the positive comments and encouragement!
