ā€œAnd Death is not real, even in the Relative sense — Birth to a new life — and you shall go on, an on and on, to higher and still higher planes of life, for aeons upon aeons of time. The universe is your home, and you shall explore its farthest recesses before the end of Time. You are dwelling in the Infinite Mind of THE ALL, and your possibilities and opportunities are infinite, both in time and space!

Could this be them?

Clyde and Patricia Young were living with their eight children in Alabama near the border of Mississippi, surrounded by the property of wealthy businessman J.P. Altmire, when Altmire decided he wanted their land. When the Youngs refused to sell, he wrote 36 letters to lawyers, prosecutors and the local sheriff calling the family ā€œtroublemakers.ā€ In August 1988, the Young's eldest son was arrested for cultivating marijuana on Altmire property. Authorities tore up the Young’s home with pickshovels, and police seized all the money they had, including the children’s piggy banks and a 90-year-old uncle’s social security check. They did not find any drugs.

A year later, police raided the home again, this time arresting the entire family. The Youngs learned at indictment that drug residue, a scale and a notebook of names and amounts of money were uncovered in a 1986 raid on Clyde Young's mother’s hunt club. At trial, the judge and Altmire’s former lawyer and friend, Charles Butler, did not allow the defense to admit as evidence the letters Altmire sent to local authorities. The prosecution’s witnesses included, as with many cases, criminals who may have been implicating others to reduce their own sentences. Clyde and Patricia, as well as four of their children, were found guilty of possession and conspiracy to distribute marijuana in an ongoing criminal enterprise. Clyde got 26 years; Patricia got 24; and their four children received sentences ranging from three to 15 years. Patricia and the four children have since been released, but Clyde is still serving his time.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be a Billionaire.

Not saying I would have become one; there’s luck, and fiat ring kissing, and star alignment involved to make that possible and unconsciously I decided years ago that wasn’t a game I wanted to dedicate my life to.

Instead I accepted becoming a comfortable millionaire. That’s the level of luck and fiat ring kissing and star alignment I was willing to take on for the life I decided I wanted to live.

A level where I never have to bend over for anyone. Where I can walk away from anything, anytime. In which I’m beholden to no-one and can tell anyone to go fuck themselves and my life won’t meaningfully change for good or bad.

My status won’t push humanity to interplanetary status. It won’t reinvent the wheel nor discover Bitcoin. It won’t lead me to be written into history books. But it will allow me to teach the next generation what not giving a fuck looks like.

And I’m ok with all of that.

I would have needed to make very different decisions 15 years ago to really go after this for which I didn’t have the foundations then to do it and I see now I likely would have been the self-destructive type had the overwhelming odds against me succeeded.

I chose right for me.

Others will be more ambitious though.

The world needs people who want to win the race of life as much as it needs people like me to accept they’re not going to be the winners.

Because we can’t all win, winners need people to defeat and that’s nothing to do with fiat - that’s just how progress works.

I haven’t yet found what I really want to win at but I know that when I do, I will. Because I’m not the type to throw in and see what sticks on any old moonshot to defeat dreamers; I won’t throw my life away for just any idea, but when I do commit I know that I will succeed.

I’ve concluded that you don’t need to invent Bitcoin or be in the history books though. You need to push your family forward and setup the next generations to succeed such that they’ll empower the ones with both the will and capability to really shoot their shot.

Generational wealth is like doubles in pool. Setup the next shot, block your opponents, make sure that when your team comes to the table next they have the best shot to play and if they’re capable then make sure they’re the ones to go for the jugular.

Don’t try to be something you’re not. Play the long game.

Play for others on your team to win.

Well said!

#GM #MentalHealthAwareness #RecoveryJourney

Mental health has been my primary struggle. About two years ago, I thought I had resolved my issues with medication. However, I've come to realize that I wasn't as stable as I believed.

In an effort to improve my life, I quit drugs and nicotine. I was even planning to have a baby in the coming year. Despite these positive steps, my mental health took an unexpected turn, leading to a distressing incident.

One day, I impulsively jumped from the third story of my condo apartment. This wasn't a suicide attempt, but rather a misguided act of curiosity and a cry for help. My neighbor witnessed the jump and tried to assist, but I crawled away into my home. The police and emergency responders found me inside and took me to the hospital.

At the hospital, I learned that I had suffered a broken spine and a fractured foot. I underwent surgery the following morning, which was successful. Now, I have to wear braces to maintain proper posture and keep my bones in place. The physical pain has been, and continues to be, intense.

I'm currently in the process of recovery, which is expected to take about eight weeks. Despite the severity of this incident, I believe I'm improving mentally. I've had suicidal attempts in the past, but I've come to realize that the pain they cause isn't worth my life. I genuinely feel I'm in a better place mentally than before, but I'm concerned that after this jump, others might not believe me.

This experience has made me realize that I need to address my mental health more thoroughly and seek proper treatment to prevent such incidents in the future. I'm committed to my recovery, both physical and mental, even if it's challenging to convince others of my progress.
