I have to go to a bridal shower this weekend, and I'm really not looking forward to it. Does that make me a terrible person? The couple are already living together, so I dont see the point of it. What could they possibly need for their home that they dont already have? In my opinion, bridal showers are for a couple just starting out, who have nothing for their home yet. Anyway, just venting here. If I'm way off base, someone tell me. #grownostr

I enjoy walking with my little buddy Daisy. She has a pretty keen nose and likes to sniff out mice and wild rabbits so she can chase them. #grownostr #countryliving

When its hot outside, TJ relaxes indoors. #grownostr #dogstr

Y'all have a great day! Remember to stop and look around once in awhile. #Nature #Waterfalls #Hiking

I wish everyone could have juicy #Bitcoin, #unschool and #homebirth chats in the pool with parents who travel the world with their children 💯

But also, no sleep for what now feels like weeks... I'm only just starting to feel semi human again 💤

From Spark to Blaze: The Simple System for Success

I hear it all the time: What's the secret to success? Is there some magic formula?

After a couple of decades in the trenches, here's what I've figured out. Success is simple. It's like starting a fire. You've got your tinder, your kindling, your fuel wood. You don't just throw a match at a log and expect it to burst into flames, right? You've got to build it up, step by step.

First, the tinder. That's your passion, your spark. It's that thing that lights you up, gets you out of bed in the morning. Without it, you're just going through the motions. Find your tinder, and you've got your start.

Next, the kindling. That's your skills, your knowledge. You can't expect to succeed without putting in the work, without learning your craft. You've got to feed that initial spark with something substantial, or it'll fizzle out.

Then, the fuel wood. That's your perseverance, your grit. This is what keeps the fire going, what turns a spark into a roaring blaze. You've got to keep feeding the fire, keep pushing, even when things get tough.

Follow this system, and you'll get your fire. You'll get your success. It might not look exactly like you pictured it. Hell, it might be better.

But here's the thing: You can't cheat the system. You can't skip the kindling and go straight to the fuel wood. You can't ignore the tinder and expect the kindling to light itself. It doesn't work that way.

And all those "get rich quick" schemes? Total bullshit. They're like trying to start a fire with wet wood. You might get a few sparks, but it's not going to last.

So, find your tinder. Build your kindling. Feed your fire. And remember, USE GOOD, HIGH-QUALITY WOOD.

If you follow this system, if you put in the time and the effort, you'll find success. You'll find yourself achieving more than you ever thought possible, and you'll do it without even thinking about it. Why? Because success, like a good fire, is all about the system.

This is lifeschooling. Seeing my 6 year old bringing out the garbage before I even make it down the stairs. So simple but a great start to the day #homeschool #lifeschool #grownostr

You have a terminal illness called life. You, have at any given time say 1 second to 80 years to live but the time you can understand what I am saying. Act like it! Don't waste your fuckin dash. No matter what it does get shorter ever day.

Bitcoin Crusaders

Since I discovered Bitcoin a few years ago, my work ethic and discipline have taken on a new form.

I find myself thinking about it all the time. #Bitcoin is not merely a rabbit hole; it encompasses a multitude of them. To gain a genuine understanding of Bitcoin, one must delve profoundly into various disciplines such as economics, finance, politics, technology, energy, game theory, cryptography, and more. These topics are fundamentally academic and intellectual in nature. Simultaneously, your journey into Bitcoin touches your very core. It makes you question certain beliefs, your morals, and your perception of the world.

As you delve deeper into the world of Bitcoin, it instills a profound shift in mindset, specifically transitioning one from a high time preference to a low time preference. Bitcoin's inherent characteristics of limited supply, decentralization, and long-term value preservation encourage individuals to prioritize future-oriented thinking and patience over immediate gratification. This shift in mindset promotes a greater appreciation for saving, investing, and planning for the long-term, aligning one's actions with the principles of financial responsibility and self-sovereignty.

Moreover, this newfound perspective is complemented by an undeniable flame that ignites within – hope. Though often unspoken, we can collectively acknowledge the pervasive sense of despair that exists in the world. Bitcoin dissolves that despair and recasts it into hopefulness. It represents a transformative force, providing an alternative to the unjust and corrupt systems that permeate our society.

Combined with the knowledge acquired on this journey, you become a truth-seeking, freedom-fighting crusader on a mission to abolish the chains of an unjust and corrupt system. Bitcoin empowers individuals to take control of their financial destiny, promoting transparency, inclusivity, and the decentralization of power.

I was unawares. I'm going o dig into this some.

Tfs!

Of course, I will never stop DCAing but... sometimes you need to buy yourself a present. 🎁 I know Bitcoiners that live in a van, and 💩 in a bucket just to stack more sats. NGMI

If I don't find a way good way to spend all my #Bitcoin before I die, I will take it to my grave.

Whoever decipher this first, will get 1000 sats

all the social unrest we are seeing rise in the US today is pre-economic collapse.

#Bitcoin & #Nostr, money & communication separate from the state will only become more useful.

build tools here to prepare not only for the future, but the transition.
