    So profound and yet so down to earth. Australia is happy to take in inspiring people like you. Keep it up, mate.

    Wise insights from a young man - Australia benefits from the ideas and talents and energy of its immigrants - I hope you move here permanently, because I think you would make a great contribution to Australian society and you’d make a terrific Aussie.

    Tom lovely to hear your positive voice, many lessons have not been wasted on you. The most important life intention is BALANCE try try and try again not to be sucked into the religion of materialism. It is a negative soulless life. I have every hope for you. God bless ❤

    Thanks so much for your amazingly positive video and I can see the joy on your face as you describe the wonderful self-discoveries and the happiness that comes from living a simple life. I also read a lot of stoicism and having done a lot of self-development, I know that personal growth comes from a state of being uncomfortable.

    I just did 3 months there, I decided to come back to the UK to continue my career but I think I want to eventually go back and live there full time. I'd just need to get my career in a position where that is possible. What did you do for work over there?

      my thoughts immediately run to you must have had a bad experience. Aussies have low tolerance for superiority and also whinging and complaining. as an aussie most of my horrible life experiences have not been because of aussies but rather the 'new aussie' put in positions of power where they have no concept of the values of the aussie, fairness, justice and equity for all. while it can be distorted to appear in media that white aussies are not into it.. the reality is we are.its embedded in our psyche. as is the saying 'don't sh*te in your nest' and 'never bite the hand that feeds you'.
