Brief Review of summer 2008

Fellow travellers, family members and whoever else read my blog:

That's it I'm back in Leeds and surprisingly happy!

I wanna thank everybody for reading and hope you got some inspiration from one or another thought. For myself it has been an extraordinary journey and expanded my horizon in a way I couldn't have imagine beforehand. The main lesson I drew from this journey is that I ought to do what I believe I should be doing as consequently everything seems to work out my way if I just believe in it. This of course preassumes that you know yourself so you can be aware of your wants and needs and most important be able watch yourself... to be the observer. I'm convinced that if everybody would truly knows himself, so he/ she would be able to pursue his own interests general society would be at least mentally/ spiritually way more advanced. As one couchsurfer from India expressed it in a reference: " its the inability for a man to remain content within himself that leads to most of the evil on this planet".
It's not that difficult to attain such a state of being... you only need to want and be open for the occurring solutions. Although I'm not religious by any means I gotta admit the bible was right in saying something like: You'll find if you would only start searching.
I doesn't matter where you are, what you are doing, where you are going... the only thing that really counts is your stage of mind. Quote from unknown: "A situation is only as bad (good) as you think it is."
Go and find your dreams and no matter whether you're going to fulfill them or not... it's all about the way, the path, journey. That's how I define carpe diem. Be conscious about anything you're doing in the present and as long as you're not fully convinced you're doing the right thing there's something to work on... in that sense I gotta lot of work to do :)

Happy travels, work, holidays, life, blablabla...

I might write an entry from time to time... the latest would be the pre-christmas time when I come back from Denmark/ Germany/ Sweden.

Hasta la vista!

P.S.: pictures of the 2nd part of the journey still haven't been developed... too expensive in UK :-S
