Replying to Avatar Brisket

I lent my daughter my (utility/truck) yesterday & she crashed it into a tree. She'd decided she was going to do some 4WDriving without knowing anything about it. She got cocky & now my ute is likely going to the wreckers.

She's & her girlfriend are not physically hurt.

As I reflect on the event I'm reminded that I believe there are no coincidences. As I look to find positive meaning in what looks to be a disaster, I decided to share this story with you. If for no other reason than the clarity I'll receive from the process of writing.

The ute was what I initially thought was a bargain I got at auction in December of 2023. I sold a ¼ of a bitcoin to buy it & before I could even get it on the road, bitcoin nearly doubled in purchased power.

The ute had a persistent & hard to diagnose electrical issue that made the ECU put the vehicle in a kind of light limp mode. I've driven about 40,000 frustrating kilometers since I've had it. It's served as a constant reminder for me to be patient with regards to Bitcoin. It's forced me to become patient on the road too, since I lack the acceleration to overtake slow vehicles without another empty lane.

So now as I type this I can feel the judgement that will probably flow from this note. But this is how I live now. I try not to force outcomes & rather, let them them flow to me. I think the end of my truck marks the end of a cycle, a personal turning point. It seems that we're all undergoing our own turning points in varying ways.

So what now? I don't know, but it's not a big deal. It's just a ute. If I have to sell some bitcoin to buy another, I can. I'm trying to be less attached to physical reality & perhaps that is a part of the lesson for me. I intend to be positive & present while looking for guidance & opportunities for action.

If this is too woowoo for you, then you know where the unfollow button is. I'm not going back to pretending that physical reality is everything.

As always, my unconditional love extends to you all. 💚🫂

As long as your daughter is okay, a lesson has been learnt by her as well.

All stuff is replaceable … human life is not.

When a dad is strong and leads during a “crisis” for a daughter - you have no idea how much she grows from that experience of fatherly love. I speak from experience. 🙏

Hopefully you get something back from insurance - the only way we keep the Brady of bitcoin alive and kicking is by using it to purchase physical goods when needed.

You got this Brisket Snow. 💜🧡

Yes. I can see some of my lessons & her lessons from this now. I couldn't yesterday. I had to grind off a good sized chunk of my bulbar to get the vehicle home. That took quite a while. I was pretty disappointed & angry with her yesterday.

Things could have gone much worse though. It took about 2 hours to find where in the pine forests she was stranded. 2 young girls in the middle of nowhere. She was lucky to have cell service & battery in her phone.

My wife & I had been concerned by how arrogant she had become lately. She's always been confident in herself but it was starting to become concerning. Hopefully this will teach her to have some humility.

I bet it will.

I did something wild and crazy 30+ years ago … I let my then TEN year old little brother (mum & dad had two kids extras much later than the first three 😅) drive out station wagon on a dirt track. He lost control and was heading towards a tree…through the grace of God I managed to get my foot over to the brake in time…we still talk about that lesson today.

I’m glad all is okay 🙏

Life is one BIG learning curve. 💜🧡

It sure is 🫂
