I’m sorry

Image
Excuse me Unskyld Meg Jeg Beklager Lo siento Waan ka xumahay There’s a million ways to apologize and it’s always appreciated. But why is it so hard? Why do our hands shake and voice tremble when we have to say "I’m sorry". Why is it that we all want to hear it but no body wants to say it. Everyone can mess up and make an complete fool of themselves and the one thing that saves you is the apology! Did you lie? Did you make a terrible mistake? Did you raise your voice to someone? Did you make an assumption that was wrong? Apologize!! Say I’m sorry! I messed up!  Please forgive me!!

New starts and new opportunities

Image
Everything you think about everyday is what will be your life ... And here I am, on my way to a new apartment in the middle of the city. It will be smaller and more expensive but I will have freedom and  happy neighbors, and that is all that matters right now. For the last three years I've had screaming, paranoid crazy neighbors. And from the day I moved in here I've been looking for a way out. My first night in the apartment the son in the house was having a party, he was 17 years old and was home alone. The boys had a lot of music playing (LOUD) and they where throwing things on my living room window and looking at me from the outside. I had just moved in so I didn't have anything to cower the window with and I was feeling really uncomfortable. I let the landlords know what was going on and they made a call to the boy who started shouting and yelling before they left the house. After that the partying was going on every weekend because the parents left the house and...

Hippie Holiday Henriette living like a gypsy!

Image
The nail polish on my toes has faded a long time ago, five weeks into a tree week vacation in Tobago. With no money and no shampoo, a Gypsy holiday not everyone can handle.  I surprised my boyfriend with a visit in Tobago. Fully knowing that he wasn’t prepared and that he would have to keep working and maintaining his business. I was just happy to be here I didn’t mind sleeping alone in the jungle in our new house that he built for us. But without a proper phone line I said it’s not possible for me to be there by my self. If an accident or emergency, by the time he found out and reach all the way up there it might just be too late. Another thing was that our water tank fell down and broke. There was a terrible rainstorm and I woke up from a loud crash thinking it was a tree that fell. When I woke up in the morning take my morning bath outside, I couldn't find the water tank ... It also took the toilet pipe with it in the fall.. hard to live without water, toilet and no phone l...

What is the truth? Is it what is being said, what we believe in or what we want someone to believe?

Image
Being in a relationship with someone who's afraid of missing out afraid of not having the best. Someone who believes that someone else might be better for me, is this what I really want is this enough. What if that one can give me more children, more money, more prosperity. How do you survive in such relationship? Do you stay and work things out, do you convince this person that you are the one, nothing better can come to you. Do you constantly prove to this person that being grateful for what you  have will bring you more to be grateful for. Are you afraid of losing this person to another better version of you? All these questions have I been asking myself for the last few years being in a long distance relationship. I have seen it all, lies, cheating, stealing and convincing. There's so much work in a relationship that's "normal" why put in the extra effort in a long distance relationship. You have the power to end it all just by hanging up the phone...

What type of person do you want to be??

Image
What type of person are you, or what kind of person do you want to be? I ask myself this when I'm interacting with other people. Sometimes people come off as a little blurry so I don't really understand the person they are trying to display. They seem nice and gentle, but they are rough and hard in there voice. Some people are straight up what and who they show you, they don't have any secrets of sides they are trying to hide. Searching for something People are driven by a few things and the basic is certainty and uncertainty, seeking one or the other. You probably trying to figure out what drives you and it can be both, but at separate times. When your life is filled with uncertainty you are probably looking for something certain to hold on to. When life is straight forward and very secure you are probably looking for something uncertain to get your blood pumping and your heart racing. You need a balance in your life between the two to feel good and exited at the same...

Your life is more abundant than you know

Image
Abundance is something most people search for, some people find, and some think they can never have ... If you take a look at your life you will find that abundance is all around you in places you didn't expect it to be. Even in birthdays there is abundance April is the month where half my family is born, we have 7 birthdays to celebrate from start to finish. There is some traveling distance between us and we go back and forth between each others houses all month. Whenever a friend ask me to do something in April, I have to say no because I have a birthday to go to that weekend. I love my family and I know that we all laugh at this month where we have the same amount of gift-shopping and celebration done as we do for Christmas. I am so lucky my birthday is last, that's when everyone is broke and tired of cakes and  I'm usually in Tobago this time of the year and haven't been with my family for my birthday for a long time. This year I asked everyone with an Apri...

Morning routines and habits

Image
It takes 21 days to make a habit I want you to make a mark on your calendar 21 days from the day you start with you new morning routine. And that of course is tomorrow morning.. Here's a few tips and some of my morning routines that now are a habit.  If I wake up to an alarm, I give myself 5 seconds to get out of bed. I can have the idea that I don't have to get up this early today I'm not going anywhere, but as soon as I close the alarm my mind is now programmed to start counting backwards from fiwe so I can't go back to sleep. 5-4-3-2-1 I'm up. Make your bed in the morning.  Be an action taker not a procrastinator and get things done right away. You will not believe the power this simple act has to the rest of your day. Tell your mind from the very start that you mean business and you make fast decisions and your mind will believe that you are someone who gets things done and will therefore support you. Give thanks.  Set the intention for the day an...

The Law of attraction made simple

Image
The law of attraction states that like attracts like  That’s why sometimes you get confusing results. The law only reflects back to you what’s on your mind or more correctly what’s on your heart.  Your current situation, your life as you know it today is a reflection of your past thoughts and actions. Right now, you can change your future life by changing your thoughts, beliefs and feelings.  Change your thoughts and change your life. Learn the skills of controlling your thoughts and emotions and The Law Of Attraction will give you the results that you want. This means is that whatever you are thinking and feeling is what is being attracted to you.  The LOA is impersonal and it does not respond to  good  things or  bad  things, or  no  or  not  it just attracts to you your dominant thoughts. It's the same with the law of gravity,  it does not matter if you are a good person or a bad person, if you jump o...

Life is supposed to be fabulous

Image
How is life supposed to be Life is supposed to be fabulous, and anyone telling you "life is supposed to be hard" or "life is a test" does not live a happy life filled with purpose and passion. Life is quite amazing, have you ever stopped to think about all the little pieces of magic that happens to you when you are in a good mood? Start noticing them. There's so much to enjoy in this life on this planet. We have the most amazing scenery and spectacular views, sunsets that can take your breath away. Have you ever tried to watch when a storm passes?  Watch the trees and the clouds next time, see how the trees and the plants play along and joins the storm in it's rage across the land. Everything s moving with it, whoever tries to resist will be taken down. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to enjoy the storm and dance to it's notes. When a storm passes in your life,what do you do? Do you go on a hideout and wai...

The conditioning of the mind

Image
Conditioning of the mind We all have conditioned minds and everyday we have an opportunity to change that conditioning. All you have to do is recognize your limiting belief, which is what your conditioned mind tells you you can not go beyond and change it. The preconditioning is there from a very young age. There was some grownup in your circle who told you over and over again "you can't do this" or "you are not good enough". Or it's the recurring events that leaves you to think in a certain way about it and that sticks to you. Look at an elephant.  A huge and massively strong animal, in the wild it's not scared of much, and if it gets scared it usually tries to scare whatever is scaring them by making a loud noise and storming towards it. In captivity the elephant has been conditioned to believe that a small rope or chain has the power keep it from running away. When the elephant is small it's tied up to a rope or chain around ...

How do you get what you want?

Image
We are all in the same boat You and I, we are in the same boat so to speak. If you are in fact like me always looking to improve areas of your life. I am happy and content, but I can always do better and be more. I continually learn and grow from all the experts out there. Not the self made gurus with thin wallets and a crappy apartment, but the really big ones like Tony Robbins, T. Harv Eker, Dean Graziosi, Gry Sinding and Vick Strizheus. These are the ones who started where everyone starts, at the bottom working there way up, and now they are highly successful and my God they have things to teach you. The knowledge between them is enough to run the whole world on automation. Every time I do a training with either one of them my mind is blown away. Some of what they say are things I've heard before, but for every training I get something I can implement and use. If you don't keep growing, you will start dying I love this quote, and this is so true. When you stop learning,...

Surround yourself with good and positive

Image
Does it serve you? The best thing you can do for yourself is to surround yourself with good and positive people. Think about what you want out of life. Think about your dreams and goals. What serves you and what helps you to reach this ... Your goals should contain your financial goal, your relationship goal and your career goal. In every activity and in every habit ask yourself "does this serve me and my goals. Will this move me closer to reaching my goal?" These are the questions you should ask yourself for every interaction in your life. If you spend a lot of time and energy into reaching your goals, you don't want to tear everything down because of that one friend who leaves you feeling drained and fills your mind with negative emotions. The law of attraction works with your emotions and your actions, so you want to be inlined and in tuned. There has to be consistency in your actions and feelings. You get what you're feeling about, not so much what you're th...
