Our man in Bali

So I am sitting here on outdoor terrace writing today’s blog. I am at my 2nd Copass Camp with Eric and Sophie, no Stefano this time, he’s too busy taking pictures of himself in a very deep swimming pool.

Today’s post might be a little weird given that I have only had about 3-4 hours sleep in the last 24 hours. I love to travel and going to new places, but 17 hours of flying and a few more hanging around airports does have it’s effects eventually.

All I am going to say today is, whatever age you are, wherever you are on your journey, make sure you take the time to travel, meet new people, have new experiences and do things that are different to your everyday life.

Do not say to yourself, like I have at times in life, ‘I’ll do it when this happens’, or ‘next year when I have more time’ and so on. They are only excuses, as there is never the right time or the perfect time to do anything. So just do.

I don’t like that

We often can talk about things that we do not like, criticise what is being done, moaning about the people in charge.

We are all a bit guilty of knocking stuff at times or simply saying we could do better. After watching a film or seeing a game of football. Well I could have done better.

The fact is, if we had to actually write a script for a film or act it, we’d probably struggle, or if we had to play 90 minutes of Premier League football, we might find it a little harder than we thought.

It is easy to criticise and it takes the brave to actually do. Doing is more demanding than talking or criticising.

However doing is the more rewarding to the soul. Doing regularly leads to doing better and better.

Instead of talking about what you don’t like, talk about what you are doing as an alternative.
