an education in the world

Hey friend, 

Travelling the world alone and building my business in my late teens and early twenties has been a refining time for me. 

During this time I’ve a handful of books close. One of those is the ‘Art of Extraordinary’ living by Jim Rohn. It’s an old classic and the audio version is magnetic.

There’s a great line in the book…

When someone says, ‘This always happens to me and that always happens to me. Why do these things always happen to me?’ I simply say, ‘Beats me. I don't know. All I know is that those kinds of things seem to happen to people like you.’”

What I understand from this is…

It’s your relationship to life, that creates your life. 

It’s how you relate to yourself and the world, that creates the world you live in.

As a child, (chances are) nobody sat you down and over a number of years, faithfully and carefully led you through the process of understanding the very nature of what you are, what life is and how to navigate the two. 

Chances are however, you came to understand life and yourself was through the lens and values and desires of the authorities in your life at the time. Teachers, preachers and parents, who just projected on you what they needed from you.

So as I build out my own journey of education, using travel & online business as my vehicles…

Above all, I’m focused on cultivating my relationship to life and myself.

Because it doesn’t matter what course I buy. What mentorship I enter.

What information or how-to I might receive. What opportunities I may encounter.

If I’m relating to life and myself in the same old way…

Chances are i’ll find myself saying..

 “these things just seem to always happen to me“
