Thoughts for this evening...

I've failed more times than I've succeeded. Some of what I perceive to be my greatest successes, are probably perceived by others as massive failures. πŸ™ƒ

The only way I will ever get to my next level, is to act, despite the fears I still have. Fear of judgement has been something I struggled with and still do from time to time. I know in my logical brain it doesn't matter what others think, but in my soul, I want people to be inspired by me, admire my strength in the face of adversity and hopefully love me a little bit. πŸ₯°

I live in my head way too much. I cannot count the number of books I have read. I'm a super nerd addicted to learning and while I have a super power for input, I struggle to convert that to meaningful output. I do realise that when I can create meaning from the ten thousand books I read (on countless subjects from finance, technology, business to spirituality, leadership, travel and education) then perhaps things will start moving a little faster πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Life feels slow for me. I observe many others starting their location independent dreams and skyrocketing past me. I feel like the turtle a lot of the time. I often feel impatient. But I also understand that I'm on a different journey. And slowing down and healing has been part of that journey. 🐒

Then when I reflect on where I am, a published author, occasional speaker, living abroad over twelve years, a full time digital nomad family for 3.5 years, travelling during covid, brave enough to live guided by my intuition, raising wild and free children who are free from the systems and structures, free birthing our baby in a foreign country on a tourist visa, and doing all this from a place of self-custody... I have huge respect for myself and what I am yet to achieve in the world. 🀩

I still feel like a tiny speck. But I know I have a long, beautiful, amazing journey ahead. I feel grateful for where I am. I feel grateful for the opportunities ahead. I feel grateful for the people I've been blessed to meet along the way. I feel grateful to be in this place at this time. I feel excited to be able to guide and empower other parents to soar with confidence and take ownership of their family journey. I'm excited to share this journey with more families. I'm excited for the future πŸ¦‹πŸ’«πŸ”₯

You have a lot to be proud of. You've accomplished a lot, even though you've also faced challenges. It's clear that you're a strong and resilient person.

It's important to remember that everyone's journey is different. There's no one right way to do things. So don't compare yourself to others. Just focus on your own journey and what you want to achieve.

my kicks would be enough. https://youtu.be/wjs9a7_iQZs That cat can eat a turkey. I mean its GONE! bones and all. They're fast too.

oh, wait! I see orange checks and white checks . what do they mean??

Why? What do we need to wait for? It only took me 5 seconds to join and get a $^$% blue check

ummm, guaranteed.... but it hasn't happened yet and may not happen. Why am I a tai chi master? What did I prepare for? I don't know. To live by a gun is to die by a gun. I like to watch those self defense videos. crazy how ready they were. Should I be that ready or do I have time to fiddle with my hidden gun?

oh! my G__! nukeffee?

I fight with my feral cat with my old tai chi stick. I try to train her to stay 5 feet from me at ALL times but she thinks my pole is harmless. she has attacked me while putting food into her bowl. I treat her like a tiger.

what happens after the trump hoax?

how do I bite into that?

I cut, with veggie scissors, my Subway sandwich into big bowl.

Eat it like a salad.

That way I can focus on the movie eating slowly without the mess.

I tell my wife she must wear safety glasses while mowing, its the safety law! She ignores me like I'm a child. Oh well, I got shot in the eye while a child. weak bb gun. bounced off my tough eye but still...

I wear glasses in yard work just in case...

maybe without the helmet. helmet looks hot. but sun exposed crown of head. solve this coolness problem.
