24. Everyone dies, but not everyone lives.

October ramblings, what an amazing autumn so far, it is incredible...as it is every year, just this year I am closer to nature, and more connected than ever.
Trees have so much to show and teach us, like how lovely it can be to let the dead things go, blessed Samhain!

May every sunrise bring you hope, may every sunset bring you peace, One thing about this life is having the time to soak up nature and the wonderful sunrises/sunsets of October. I have seen some amazing views, although the camera really doesn't do them justice.
Some people are happy in a 5 star hotel, my 'hotel' has 20 million stars!

This is not about my ego wanting to do something different, It is about living to my full potential, and if I am truly passionate about every aspect of my life, then I know I will realise very easily what I am good at.
I honestly feel that my life has improved 100%, it has taken on a new meaning, and every single day is certainly worth getting up for...finally! Life should not happen in a trickle, it should happen like a flood in you all the time.
Everyone dies, but not everyone lives!

I am still loving this life, and have accepted all the good and bad things, the bad are just little niggles to be honest, the good far outweighs them. Good gets better.
I have an amazing little new memory stick which enables me to upload videos much faster, mostly at the library...I prefer making videos to writing in this blog now, so please keep an eye on my channel... I also have a new wireless wifi modem for the internet- finally!!!

You'll know you've made the right decision when there is peace in your heart. Stop listening to what the world says you should do and start listening to your own heart. There are only a few people in this world who will stay completely true to you, and YOU should be one of them. Listen to your own voice, your own soul, too many people listen to the noise of the world, instead of themselves. Deep inside, you know what you want, let no one decide that for you.

My only regret is that I should have done this years ago...... 

93 days of living on the road, and hardly any calls or texts from the family! I also noticed that only 3 of them have subscribed to my YouTube channel- I guess that tells its own story? I also asked them to share the advert for my car, none of them did.
I know sometimes/quite often, my texts are simply ignored, which is a real shame. But they say never be afraid to let go of what wasn't meant to be.
However, I now have over 130 regular YouTube subscribers, which [to me] is amazing that all these people want to watch some silly old hippy banging on about life and rubbish whilst sitting in a van!!! [100th video now uploaded!!]

There is only one important point you must keep in your mind and let it be your guide. No matter what people call you, you are just who you are, keep to this truth. You must ask yourself how is it you want to live your life. We live and we die, this is the truth that we can only face alone. No one can help us, not even the Buddha. So consider carefully, what prevents you from living the way you want to live your life? Also remember it is not your job to like me, its mine!

Promise yourself, 
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticise others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s walking in the woods, chatting with friends or spending time with loved ones. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored. Everyone lives, but not everyone lives!

If people don't seem to be want to be part of your journey, simply journey on without them, they will catch up if they want to, if not- keep pushing forwards expanding your life and creating a new horizon.
If people really are too busy to stay in contact, search for new contacts who can stay in touch.

At any time, you can decide to change the road you're on in life, take a new direction, follow a new trail. You are the only one who really knows what you want from life and if you're on the right road for you. We all know just how short life can be, so the time to change or improve your life is right now.
Where were you six months ago, what was your situation like, where did you live and work and what did you do? What about 12 months ago? If you were not fulfilled then, are you fulfilled now, and did you make the necessary changes to bring about a brand new you? If not... I'm sorry, but the next year will be the same, and the next...until you have so many regrets that it is all you have!
Time is slipping by............

Home is where you park it. This time it was Walton hill in Somerset.

Really happy with this album, full of memories...

Click the above for a great little album...

My back and hip are certainly MUCH better now, thanks to 3 weeks of acupuncture, it really is amazing!! The mornings are a struggle, but once I get over the first couple of hours, the rest of the day is much easier!

So, this month saw me and Bodhi in many different places [see youtube], which we have loved, life is great...van life is great, certainly no regrets from me. I only wish that everyone could experience this....   hang on, they CAN!!!!

Your mission: Be so busy loving your life that you have no time for hate, regret or fear. Create your own life and do what is in your heart rather than what is in your mind, choose to be happy and don't worry about lack of contact from those that you thought cared. Move on, enjoy, relax and simply be.

Always stay true to yourself because there are very few people who will always be true to you.

FAMILY: Is there anyone who could take Nan to B&M please? She is still desperate to go and have a look around. Cheers.

My new ink, just a gloriously happy little crow...

Me, in Somerset...loving it!!

Anyway, thats it from me, with new albums by Morrissey and Pink Floyd, I shall be beside myself drifting away on a beautiful cosmic journey, so do not disturb if you see a motorhome with a Buddha on the back and hear very loud music coming from it.....

Be well, follow your bliss, SAMHAIN BLESSINGS, PEACE -x-
