…That holidays are always a wake-up call?
What happens in Australia stays in Australia? Not if I can help it.
I always talk about balance in my life, more than often when I am out of it. When someone is IN balance it is likely that they wouldn’t be thinking about it (a little like the …

…That I love looking for the similarities?
Many moons ago I was told not to look for the differences.
I do not hide the fact that I am a sober man. I am proud of the years that I have accumulated and all that I have learned and accomplished since my life re-started at that …

…That travel is my drug of choice?
Movies are my drug of choice as well… what… I’m not allowed more than one drug of choice?
I am currently on the other side of the world. It is as though my “regular” life were not in evidence. This is my bliss… a place of relaxation and de-stressing. …

…That I’m leaving on a jet plane…?
Although I do know when I’ll be back again.
A couple of hours from now I will fly off on a 14-1/2 hour journey from Los Angeles to Sydney, Australia. I leave here at 11:45 PM on Saturday July 18 and arrive on Monday morning at 7:10 AM in Sydney.
Technically …

…That not every day is a page for a self help book?
Some days are meant to be the pothole to climb out of.
That doesn’t mean that a day like today needs to have been a bad one. Twist logic or look to the benefits of challenge and you will find a way to realize that the days where struggle is …

…That people won’t always like me?
And the beauty of this is that I just don’t care.
There was a time when the most important thing in my world was to make sure that I was pleasing people and liked by all. A bit disgusting, although I did not handle it as much outwardly as I …

…That confidence is an incredible confidence booster?
Sure beats the crap out of frustration or paranoia.
The art of surrender and the path towards the attempts for breaking of habits is filled with potholes and diversions. Each day can be a challenge and a field trip in acute awareness. It should not be a negative journey… …

…That sometimes you just need to mix it up?
There is nothing wrong with breaking from tradition or simply taking that dreaded contrary action.
To be completely honest I would have to say that if I do not change routines, step out of patterns, deviate from the norm and adventure into unknown territory from time to time THAT will be …

…That surrender is not a weakness?
Quite the contrary…
It has been important to remind myself that in surrender I am not giving up who I essentially am. I am not giving up on choices or choosing direction. I am not becoming a doormat or a puppet by letting the world or those around me …

…That detachment is a step in surrender?
Being all consumed in anything is not conducive to happiness.
This is a lesson that is often learned on the other side of a situation. It is akin to awareness of addictive behavior and can be the direct result of the surrender. Detachment is release and renewal of priority …
