Gratitude Journal

I am so happy and grateful to have reasonable health that allows me to do the things that I want. Getting up at 6 am, taking a one hour flight, driving for 3 or 4 hours, getting lost, ending up at the beach to take photos of a beautiful sunset. Despite an average hotel, getting lost, bad traffic, no alcohol being served, average food and a dirty beach we stayed in great spirits throughout.

I am so happy and grateful to have such a wonderful relationship with Amy. She makes me smile most days just with her positive attitude and fun loving nature.

Undreaded courage all the time – 11th October 2019

Two minds. Thinking mind and observing mind. Separate them, recognise negative emotions, own them and let them go!

My situation: about to start a new job which may have some of the problems of the previous ones. What advice would you give to someone in this situation?

Even as I write this I can see that my worry is about something that hasn’t happened. I don’t need to think about things in this way. I think I understand how I could have coped better in my previous situation so I should be able to deal with them in the event that they do happen again. Prepare and plan carefully to do the job as best you can but do not invest so much time and effort that it completely overrides everything else.

Balance!

I am so happy and grateful this morning for having this space to sit in, the coffee I am drinking and the sun and rain for making our trees grow. I will grow with them.

You gotta pay your dues before you pay the rent – 9th October 2019

What is your dream life?
I think I’m living it, almost! I don’t worry so much about money, though I know Amy does. I would prefer not to have to be working so hard even though I do enjoy it. I really could stay home in our beautiful house, read books, listen to music, play games and watch TV. Sounds like it might be boring but I can dig those things. And if I did get bored I could motivate myself to do something more.

I spoke with a young guy in Iraq who was learning English. He was a very motivated person, to improve his life. I am so happy and grateful to have this opportunity to meet people from all around the world.

18th Mar 2021 – I joined an online teaching platform called Cambly and gave it a go for a couple of days. Some people teach there full time and can make reasonable money but you can also just make yourself available for conversations with people rather than teach actual lessons. I enjoyed it for the time I did it and contemplated doing it more but eventually just left it as an option for the future.

How do I spell relief? I spell it OW! – 8th October 2019

The first weekend of the holiday brings some mental relief.

What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
I would start a tour organisation business for bands to play shows throughout Asia. I would use my existing contacts to have pre-planned routes through the area. I don’t know any way to monetise this but it would certainly bring me great joy to travel and work within a musical environment.

20th Jun 2022 – I was more seriously preparing to do this more frequently starting with the World’s Dirtiest Sport tour that was planned for Feb 2020 but the Covid pandemic knocked all those plans out. Things are getting more back to normal now but some new regulations that have been implemented in certain countries would make things much more difficult than before. The whole situation kinda knocked the wind out of my sails too.

I am so happy and grateful for all the opportunities ahead of me because they give me a chance to explore and develop myself. The hardships I have faced and sometimes not been able to deal with well have all helped me to grow and learn.
