I do believe that life is just one big experience. That your beingness from whatever ether-y place looked down and thought 'I'd like to give that planet Earth a try, let's see what we can do!'
For the most part, I have been open to trying most things, purely for the experience and learning (especially since knowing what I now know!). My dad had the attitude 'Just try it, it doesn't matter what happens. You might learn a new thing or two.'
I try to let go of the outcome and in fact the more I try to control the outcome of push it too much, it seems to elude me more. Instead I try to take a more allowing tack on what I do.
I try to follow my gut and keep open to a lot of things. Having said that there are a whole load of things which simply do not speak to me. So it's not a case of me doing anything and everything but more a case of- that looks fun, that feels good, I'll give it a go for the hell of it!
Tomorrow I head off to Asia. Definitely something new to me (still keeping in line with my 'Try new things' new resolution!). I am very excited! Also a bit nervous tbh as although I look the part- I have no knowledge of the culture or language! It should be an experience for sure!
I am very excited to be teaching in Singapore and Hong Kong. It will be interesting to compare to the UK and USA. (All I need to do is Africa and hopefully Australia which will be by the end of this year and BOOM my goal of teaching in all 5 continents will be complete!).
Personally, it's a really limited (and even quite boring) way to live if you're going to only do something simply for the end goal. For me, it's about what the possibilities are and how much I can learn and gain. Much like Richard Wiseman said (I wrote about him a while ago- he studied luck), those who attended parties solely for the purpose of finding a partner missed all the great things on offer, such as, making new friends, which ironically enough could have ended up leading them to their dream partner!
Open your mind, heart and soul to all the wonderful things you can experience. Try something purely because it sounds like fun. If it goes well great, you may have a lifelong hobby (speaking of which I've joined and will be attending a volleyball meetup in Singapore- how freaking cool is that?!), if it all goes horribly then at least you've learned something (even if it's that you hate it lol).
I am getting mighty excited as my flight draws closer- I just LOVE night flights.
I will make updating this blog a priority but as I don't think I'll have much/any net access whilst away, I might write them and post date them here or something.
Anyhoo, thanks for reading!!!
Happy experiencing!!!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
