In this sobering discussion, he shares why he now feels that the science has spoken—and the consequences are set in motion. With the virus adapting under mounting immune pressure and highly vaccinated populations serving as the breeding ground for immune escape, Geert explains why further warnings may no longer matter. The mechanisms are already in play. What will happen... will happen.

#162 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes Wisdom On The Web If you want something enough, you will find a way to do it. If you are not very motivated, you will either not attempt to reach a goal, or if you do, your efforts will be half-hearted and you will attain no measurable results. Read this excellent story titled, “Remember! It’s Your Baby”. Motivation and intention are far more significant elements of success than circumstances. (Link is below)

Life Power Tip Help yourself first. Consider the advice that you receive when you fly in an airline…in any emergency, place an oxygen mask on yourself first, otherwise you won’t be able to help anyone. Similarly, with any first aid training, you must check for dangers to yourself first. Again, that is because you are ineffective in helping another when you cause injury to yourself during the process. Action Pay for someone’s time at a parking meter. Challenge Increase the speed at which you walk everywhere. Quote Lack of persistence is one of the major causes of failure. Moreover, experience with thousands of people has proved that lack of persistence is a weakness common to the majority of people. It is a weakness that can be overcome by effort. -Napoleon Hill Clearing Go through kitchen spices and your cookbooks. Clear, clean and organize. Question What are your personal assets? Affirmation I choose to have fun times. Uplifting Extra Are you spending night after night, staring up at the ceiling? Do you often suffer from insomnia, or sleeplessness? Trouble getting to sleep due to pain, stress, caffeine addiction? Thousands of people use special ‘brainwave’ audio sessions to get to sleep. Just slip on your headphones and click play. It works by using special tones and pulses, which help influence your brainwave patterns. Listening to this audio gently takes you down from a waking ‘alpha’ state into a deep ‘delta’ sleep.
