Ch. 13 if you measure success you anxiety will be endless. I find this to be so true in life and as well as on this trip. for some it is a first time for a lotof these activities and I can see how some set a bar to measure success and then that puts them self as either being successful or failing and sometimes to a point where it will strike fear or doubt in there minds pushing them to not even want to try. I feel its simply about doing try it and you can either take it to the next level or say that was cool but not for me and just leave in at that instead of measuring the success or failure. In a big group this can be challenging at times seeing one person doing something and then others not be as efficient. But as i said before its just about doing and then taking it from there, everyone will start and progress on different levels. Another big challenge in such a big group with all different styles of people we sometimes get to wrapped up in the excitement of things and get flustered and unbalanced being on the move as we so often are. Chapter 24 states Take it Easy!! " Trying to rush matters gets you nowhere" and at times we try to rush things and you can see it really gets us nowhere.

I feel there is many ways one can look at having the presents of water taxies at Abel Tasman National Park and bolts at Paynes Ford. One may says its all bad while others thinks it all good and dandy but I feel there is a happy medium and a balance that must be maintained so that we can enjoy these great wonders but at the same time not destroy them. I am visiting these places just as so many others are so can sit here and say those things should not be around because you never know the situation some people may not be able to physical capability to kayak four hours or walk 8 miles or feel safe enough to climb without blots and who am I to say these people can not see just marvelous places. It is though about having the appreciation and respect for these places and the services provided. I believe if people have the opportunity to get out to these wonders of our world then who knows they will be able to connect with the environment and see what is happening tho them when people do lose the love and the respect for them. Who knows maybe the next time if they are capable they will tell others a better way to go about things or they walk or kayak in the next time or help maintain climbing areas that our around so other bolts do not have to put in other rocks in other places.

Since being on this trip one thing that stick out in my mind is how complex our lives can be and how much material things take up space and do basically nothing else other then just that. It is great to see though how much enjoyment I can have without all those luxuries I am use to having. We all have a few bags a van and our group and still can have a sweet azz time or even sweeter time without all the material. Even being on this trip where we are learning about new ways of life and techniques and leadership it can be very challenging to find uncommitted time , so knowing this Time and our as group leaders loaded the day with nothing a do what you want day and uncommitted to time. I feel it was well need and taken very well by the group.
PEACE BE THE JOURNEY!!
