New Zealand to Australia once again

As I leave New Zealand to the sunny shores of Australia and start another chapter of my journey, I thought I’d share with you some insights and life lessons learnt along the way.

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars.”

Set your sights high and follow, in the words of Paulo Coehlo, your Personal Legend. Listen to your instincts and pay attention to all that you experience. Don’t hold fear in expectancy but live in the moment, where will and desire lead you along your journey. And if you do so...

“Kid, you’ll move mountains…Today is your day! Your mountains are waiting. So… get on your way!” – Dr. Seuss.

Try all things you desire and follow the paths you are guided toward. Start pushing in desired directions and soon enough you’ll find a mountain that begins to tremble and move. Now, don’t be put off by the mountains that don’t, just keep your chin up, listen to your soul and keep pushing until you find one that creaks and groans and begins to move.

And although life’s pathways are littered with speed bumps and at times, fallen trees, do not sit idly on the side of your road with your elbows on your knees. Always look onwards, to the many pathways that lay before you and look on such experiences not as poor fortune but a lesson and pathway you need to walk, even if you aren’t ready to learn just why yet. Hold fast, journey with courage, strength and always with love.

Love, allow yourself to be loved and the sun will shine brighter, loads will seem lighter and your spirit will be made mightier. Look at all around you; the people, landscape and things, truly look and you’ll see a world fully of beauty and love. And be kind to others where trees have fallen on their journeys and the world will find a way to be kind to you and love you in return.

So, be good, be courageous when times seem bleak, be loving and kind to all and listen to your soul and the Soul of the Universe. Follow that truly and you’ll see “Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it. And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!” – Rudyard Kipling.
