People who know me know that I'm a big fan of the book titled 'The Having: The Secret Art of Feeling and Growing Rich'. This is because it has transformed my life. From an entrepreneur full of anxiety about the uncertainty of life, finance, and health, this book is offering comfort that life can be better by just lingering to the appreciation of 'Here and Now' - or termed by the book as practicing 'Having'.
Anyway, no matter how much this book affects my life, I still hadn't started the recommended ritual in the book until the beginning of June 2026. The ritual is called 'Having Journal' - where we write about the things we are having right now and how we feel about them. After the laziness was gone, I started doing it everyday for 14 days...
And then the WOW happened:
- I won a lottery for the first time of my life (not the first prize, but much enough to feel amazed)
- My 2 customers who paid the full amount for my service cancelled the deal without taking any money back
Yes, these are just the beginning of luck. After that, I have found a group of people who greatly support my business.
I then believe the effects of Having Journal and then create a Facebook Group. You can join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/havingjournalclub
And I will continue jotting down. It is relaxing indeed to think about and appreciate the good things I already have.
