What a wonderful introduction to your work and this retreat sounds like a DREAM. In fact, maybe it is the seed of a dream that may one day find it's place down under. I'll hold on to it. In the meantime, thanks for carving out this exceptional space for the niche that is writing and running and the contemplative life.
Peter, wonderfully worded reminder to focus on what matters. It's funny that I came across this post today, as I touched on the topic in my latest newsletter. The external world encourages us to focus on extrinsic rewards like money and status. Where the real success lies though is in the intrinsic joy and fulfilment we feel from doing the thing. Writing is no different. If your joy depends on external rewards, it will always be out of your control. When success is determined by the joy you feel from an experience — no additional layer of success is required. It is already abundant.
