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.
There’s a very important decision to be made and we wanted to ask for your help. Our friend’s GSD girl Angel just had a litter.
They’re not cute at all and we are not tempted;-)
What do you think - should we get another German Shepherd puppy?
What a season it’s been for our friends on the bison ranch.
They had 25 new babies this year.
Bison ranchers are all about protecting the species, keeping it going and expanding it.
We love these wonderful animals and honor the great circle of life🦬
Apologies for the delay, but technology (on Locals' part) wouldn't cooperate yesterday, however, I believe although it is not Sunday anymore, this is still absolutely postable:-)
We almost all share a trait that seems entirely normal to most, but I believe it is not at all human in its origin. So what would happen if we just stopped doing this?
Curious to hear your thougths!
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 👇🏽

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 👇🏽
