Life Power Tip I have come across so many who live their life while looking in the rear view mirror, rather than looking through the front windshield. Enjoy ‘the now’, stay with your current moments and savor them, plan your future and create what you want to manifest with inspired focus and gratitude for the gifts you were given today. Action Treat yourself the way you would like others to treat you. Challenge Say less today than you have on any other day in your life. Quote When we pay too much attention to what’s going on in our head and to what everyone else has to say, we lose the ability to hear the voice and the wisdom of our own intuition. -Thea Westra Clearing Prepare for the morning the evening before. Question What is something you could get done that you know needs doing? Affirmation I choose unlimited joy. Uplifting Extra When you are relaxed you are in a much better position to make good decisions and see opportunities the stressed mind will often miss. Scientists are discovering stress makes us sick. Worry and feeling anxious is at epidemic levels in our society and that’s one of the major reasons there is so much more disease and illness today.

If you're a bond market luddite like me, you might find this useful. 😂🤣🫣🧡 AI Overview When bond market yields increase, it means the cost of borrowing is rising, and investors are demanding higher returns to lock their money away in "safe" debt. The fundamental rule: When bond yields go UP, bond prices go DOWN. Here is a simple breakdown of what is happening behind the scenes. 1. What It Means (The Result) Borrowing is more expensive: Mortgage rates, corporate loans, and government debt servicing costs rise. Existing bonds lose value: If you own a bond paying 3% interest and new bonds are issued at 5%, your 3% bond is less attractive, so its resale price drops. Higher future income: While existing bonds lose value in the short term, you can now reinvest money at higher, better interest rates. 2. What's Behind the Scenes (The Causes) Rising Inflation Expectations: When inflation is high, investors demand higher yields to compensate for the fact that the money they get back in the future will be worth less. Central Bank Rate Hikes: When central banks (like the Fed) raise interest rates to fight inflation, new bonds are issued with higher coupon payments. This forces older, lower-paying bonds to drop in price to remain competitive. Strong Economy/Reduced Safety Demand: When the economy is growing rapidly, investors sell "safe" government bonds to buy riskier assets like stocks. Increased Supply (Fiscal Policy): If a government issues a massive amount of new bonds to fund spending, it must offer higher yields to attract enough buyers. Summary Analogy Think of bonds like fixed-interest savings accounts. If you locked in a 2% account, but a week later all new accounts pay 5%, your 2% account is now "worth less." To sell your account to someone else, you have to drop the price (lower the value) so that the 2% interest payment feels like a 5% return to them.

Remote control software in vehicles are such a great idea. 💡 😂🧡

Life Power Tip Place less (or no) emotion into having things. There is not enough money in the world to make you feel secure. The function of money is using it. It is a tool to buy experiences. Know what experiences you want to create for your life, determine your purpose in life. Have clear goals for collecting money. How do you want to use it when you have it? Action Treat yourself at your favourite café. Challenge Say ‘I love you’ to the person in the mirror… and mean it. Quote There is no reason to ever quit. Unless, of course, you had no plans to ever succeed. That is called “delusional success”! -Doug Firebaugh Clearing Polish wooden doors and retouch scuffs, clean all the door handles. Question What is showing up in your life that is a reflection of your expectations? Affirmation I choose to feel more and more joy. Uplifting Extra Do you ever feel weighed down by everything that’s going on in the world? I don’t know about you, yet it’s hard to find a balance between staying informed and taking care of myself. When I found Good Good Good, I realized that consuming news doesn’t have to be draining. In fact, it can be hopeful! The Goodnewspaper is designed to leave you feeling more hopeful and better equipped to do more good. Mister Rogers once said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping'”. The Goodnewspaper looks for the helpers and helps you become a helper yourself. When I receive my Goodnewspaper, I feel empowered and inspired to take action. We can all only do so much; however, when we do it together, the impact is undeniable. Get your own copy of the Goodnewspaper with current events, companies doing good in the world, TV shows and monthly challenges. (Link is below)

No words. 😶

Most politicians have little intelligence and even less work, business or life experience. 🙄🫣 Have a read of this from Polanski in UK. 🙃 Keep stacking Sats peoples. The house of cards is toppling. 🧡✨

If our current laws were insufficient then how was this month of jail time possible, 6 years ago? (screenshot image attached) Anyhow, good to know we won't have any more dangerous attacks in this country. Good to know they can pass legislation so fast too, when they're truly committed to something. 🙄 Perhaps they can act more swiftly now on housing young families. 🤣
