Perth was an excellent trip and a memorable one too. The good times and the not so good times will be etched (hopefully) for years to come. Exceptional hosts and friends what more could you ask for from gdpters around australia. No matter how frustrating it may seem for me that I don't know things that I should in regards to it, I sure as hell am glad i'm finally apart of something which makes me feel good.
Some of the trials and tribulations of the trip: Some frustrating points were when we just couldn't agree on somethings and everyone got on peoples nerves.
- Another is that a great friend of mine, should learn to let go of minute things rather then feel unhappy then change the mood of not only himself but the rest of the group. No matter how much the guy means to me, he's gotta have to learn that for himself.
- Small bloody cars! IM A BIG BOY!
- Money, its something i have to work on =P
- be more out going, its not fun being a quiet one all the time.
The fun times: - Spending time with great people
- reflection of the past
- resolutions for myself and applications of things such as gdpt
- i have learnt that my patience has grown a bit more =)
- just the fact that i know people that dont know me very well think of me lots and that they care (thats always a great feeling)
Spending time with a close friend of mine who I went on the trip with, good talking with him on the night before leaving. He opened my eyes on what should be seen rather then the negative things i see in people. Kinda like the book im reading, this monk residing in perth teaches that rather focusing on the bad things you see in others see what else they've done, say you have made a wall, bricks and mortar and you have two shit bricks there. Look around it and you see all the other foundation bricks that are perfectly fine. This can apply to me as well, rather then focusing on the bad shit that i've done or what i see myself as.
But its hard soemtimes, I look at myself so negatively and I know its wrong but I just dont know how to stop or step over it.
update more later
Over and out
