Scotland has also produced the best thinkers, entrepreneurs, and inventors of our modern times with things like the TV and direct debit machine, I love the country with all of my heart but trying to explain to a world wide audience that although we are rich with nature, library's, education and the best writers and poets the world over, there is still a massive poverty of mindset by kids not having a drive in the early years as health, fitness and relaxation isn't big on the social aspect of modern Scotland.
It's more like New York than Loch Lomond in the city, with a culture that doesn't see drinking alcohol as social as the rest of the world do. A red wine with dinner for a young Scotsman would be 24 beers and a half bottle of wine or vodka, to give you an idea of the deeper insight into the life I once lived. So large alcohol, in large groups, with lots of girls from a young age you feel that the purpose of life is really to just get a partner from that environment and then settle down. Every time I messed up in life it was through alcohol, and chasing women.
Looking back over my life, my times in prison were the best of my teenage years, no alcohol, no chasing women just me in solitary reading books and falling in love with my mind body connection. Then on release, I went to the pub, got a girlfriends and repeated the cycle. 2008 things changed. 2010 I went around Scotland, 2013 I ran the first marathon, really just experienced the mindset I had bank in those times in prison and further back being 10 year old in museums and library's. Education was always something I loved, Nelson Mandela, Rubin Carter, Bobby sands, Jimmy Boyle books all spoke to me in prison like Socrates, Aristotle, Egyptian history, animals and nature for when I was 10 years old.
Right now I love learning philosophy, mindfulness, psychology, economics, business and meditation. Although I master in certain things through example in lifestyle I constantly learn as reading, meditation and relaxation is the gym for the mind, just like running the miles, swimming and lifting weights are exercise for my body and the foods I eat are the medicine that brings the completion of the mind, body and emotional connection. Oh I'm supposed to be talking about chasing girls (women), I'm a dad now and live my life by example, the relationship never worked with my daughters mum and most other men in my culture move on and go nights out and clubbing. I've lived a full life, 29 years old, 30 next month and although I may looked disciplined, it's really fun, easy and great to have a disciplined mind. I don't feel the need to chase girls or the desires the rest of my culture follow. I love meditation, reading, writing, running, the outdoors, fruit & vegetables and have great connections everywhere I go, life always rewards me in this lifestyle. Now I look back to the times I had the lifestyle of loud noise, music, football matches, drinking alcohol, constant holidays and chasing girls as the undisciplined, stressed and unhappy times. My kids mum said to me when we split, just go back to your monk life as she knows I'm more happy with the lifestyle I chose rather than the one she met me in. We never split because of anything other than we don't share the same values, lifestyle or idea of entertainment. So rather than chase girls again to try over and over again I just fell in love with myself again in meditation, relaxation, writing, running, nature and life away from the desires of my culture. I don't do anything special, I really just wake up at 4am, sleep at 9pm, run, write, meditate, read and enjoy life. The only story worth reading now is the one from my past as everyone in my culture seems to still live there and that's something I wouldn't change, because to change that I would have to change the past I once had that led me to this level of peace and mindfulness I experience now.
So when I stopped chasing girls, drinking alcohol and putting the pennies towards more education and fruit & vegetables instead of other things then everything else changed for the better from those decisions. Nothing else or nobody else changed, now I laugh a lot being around the city and seeing life from a mindset expanded by experience, some grown men still talk about getting excited about things I did as a teenager so life has nothing to do with age, it's got everything to do with experience and being prepared when your opportunity comes.
