The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.
The second best time is now.
Most people never start a project or a mission or a business (ideally all 3 are aligned) because they create a
'mountain of obstacles' in their minds.
"I first need to get capital"
"I don't have enough time"
"I don't have enough knowledge yet"
"According to vedic astrology I should wait until September 2026"
Here is the short and sweet excuse-killer.
DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
WHERE YOU ARE
Forget what you CANNOT do & focus on what you CAN do right now...
Ok, now that we have overcome that "mountain of obstacles", here are 8 sweet and simple ways that will help you you jumpstart whatever you've been putting off for so long & keep you going:
1. Find what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can get paid for. This will make you excited to get up every day!
2. Continully work on becoming better - it's all about making small improvements. By focusing on getting a little better each day, you can make big progress over time.
3. Work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. Repeat this cycle to stay focused and avoid getting tired.
4. Eat until you're about 80% full. This helps keep your energy levels balanced and prevents feeling sluggish from overeating.
5. Appreciate things that aren't perfect. Seeing the beauty in imperfection can make you feel happier and more productive.
6. Do your best. By always putting your best foot forward and not giving up, you can overcome all obstacles and achieve your goals.
7. Keep your stuff organized and clean. This helps you stay focused and makes it easier to find what you need.
8. Have a "beginner's mind." Approach tasks with curiosity and an open mind, like you're learning something new. This will make everything feel more exciting and engaging.
BONUS TIP: Begin and end each day with gratitude. Lots of gratitude;-)
Let me know in the comments what your "passion project" is - realized or unrealized.
Unfortunately the foxes have arrived on Big Bear.
A few months ago a bigger property down the road from us was sold. It was wooded acreage that had been left alone for many years.
The new owners cleared it and leveled the land to build on.
A lot of wildlife got displaced including a bunch of foxes.
Apparently they found a new home here on Big Bear and have been killing a lot of our chickens.
Here you can see Kristin during one of the steps of Operation Defox.
Keeping the grass low will help us see them as they will be more exposed.
We also expanded the chicken wire fencing.
We found 3 foxholes that look active on the lower part of the land.
The foxes did not get any of our previous warnings and don’t seem to be satisfied with the abundance of rabbits and other field rodents.
So Noah and I will be out there tonight, locked and loaded.
Fox stew anyone?
This little clay turtle sits on our front porch and apparently a blue jay momma decided it’s the perfect place for a nest.
We can see her fly in and out every day and she is beautiful. There are 4 eggs in there and we can’t wait for them to hatch.
They will be known as the birds in the turtle to future generations and there will be a lot of speculation about the metaphysical meaning of this phrase.
Scholars will argue, believers will fight but you all know the truth😂😂😂

Hi tribe.

They found I also have A-fib and now have a surgery for that in June.
Using support to walk and not able to much work on our ranch, SUCKS. Can’t lift more than 10 pounds, no bending, twisting …. My wife Janice hid the tractor keys.
It looks like end of July I can get back into doing things. Janice and I started
A nonprofit centered around our Nature Connection ranch in Arkansas.
We have 4 rescue horses… they are
My daily therapists.
Here is a 5
video I made … I hope you’ll watch and connect to the message / miracle.
Friends,
it's always quite interesting to see how one and the same piece of information/video/article can cause an incredibly variety of reactions. From "blessed and inspired" to "this is fear mongering of the worst kind".
They saw the same piece on information delivered/written by the same person. So is it the information itself or is it something else that determines how we react?
Kristin and I talk about it in today's Sunday Sermon right here 👇🏽
Much Love & Many Blessings,

Friends,
in the face of all that we are witnessing in the world today, who hasn't asked themself at times, "What can little old me change"? It's a common question and we've all asked it before.
It's actually a very important one to ask, but most don't realize how powerful the real answer is.
Let us explain in today's Sunday Sermon 👇🏽
