Frightening. Take a look at this comment (image below) that I saw underneath Brooko’s video

Saw this one quite a while ago yet it's worth watching again to be reminded of the corruption and manipulation (as if we really need reminding). 🫣😂🤨

Life Power Tip Stop waiting for answers outside yourself. You already do “know”. Trust yourself and move toward your desired outcomes. Each day and moment by moment, you are creating your future with decisions that you make each minute. Wake up and begin to consciously create that future. You have a big say [and should have the biggest say] in the matter of what your life looks like. This IS your life. Action Spend 30 minutes on your favorite hobby or past time. Challenge Take an action today in an area about which do not feel confident about your ability to do so. Quote When I say “I”, I mean a thing absolutely unique, not to be confused with any other. -Ugo Betti Clearing Sort each day’s mail over the recycling bin to make quick work of unwanted catalogues, coupons, or ad circulars. Question What promises have you made to yourself? Affirmation I choose to have many opportunities. Uplifting Extra Have you ever felt like having no control over the things you want to happen in your life? To make matters worse, other people are in charge of what you must do and you can’t even decide for yourself. If you don’t have excellent persuasion skills, you’re losing out on many vital aspects of your life (that includes your wealth, career, relationships, social and love life). Those who wittingly use the power and psychology of persuasion will always have a dominant edge over those who don’t. (Link is below)

Watching this tonight “Young Sherlock” series, for a bit of fun https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8599532/

On 8 May 2026 our rent will increase by $110, to $750 per week. They only offered a new lease for one year, instead of our usual two years.  They are able to increase rent during a 2 year lease but need to indicate by how much. So, if in 2027 they want to increase by an astronomical amount, they'll now be free to do so, rather than locking in an amount today. Owners can only increase rents annually, instead of every 6 months (as used to be). Government mandated that under the guise of supporting tenants, instead we are be paying higher rents for longer & it pushes up rent prices earlier and faster. Government & agents get more dollars via taxes and fees that way. Real estate agents are paid a percentage of rental income to manage the property (as well as on property sales commissions). Plenty of self-interest for them to encourage owners to increase rents. When rent is increased, we need to top up the bond money held. For example, we'll need to pay an added $440 for the top up this time. In Western Australia, rental bonds are held by the Bond Administrator, which is an independent government body. Government will be earning on those dollars, we don't get any interest or investment earnings on that bond (dead money to tenants). Quite the "system" huh? 😡🤬❤️ When interest rates were increased, each time we paid a month’s rent in advance to support our property owners with a lump sum. We have fixed all small repairs ourselves over the years and paid for tree cutters, a new fence, helped buy roller shutters, bought new pads for the evaporative cooler and fixed a collapsing carport ceiling, plus many more things over the years. That stops now. Any small thing that wants fixing will involve a call to the agent. The 3 months rent we have in advance will now be pulled back to only a week in advance, so we’ll pause our rent payments till 28 May, 2026. We were generous during all the years when things were tough for landlords. Now the tables have turned yet a little kindness is not afforded us. Heck, we didn’t even take advantage of the rental moratorium during covid. Having bought this place in 2005, I’d say it’s well paid off by the property owners. Particularly with negative gearing, which occurs when you borrow money to make an investment and the ongoing expenses of that investment are greater than the ongoing income you receive from it. In this scenario, you can deduct this loss from your total taxable income each financial year. We are very generous people, however we’re not willing to be exploited to that extent. I understand that they want to stay ahead of the inflation curve and that ‘the system’ rewards this behaviour. Yet reciprocation can still “be a thing” (even if only a little). Another lesson learned, i.e. not everyone thinks the way we do. As for the option of moving… have you seen the state of the rental market in Perth or Australia? As for migrating… no one would have us at our ages with a pensioner’s income. Thanks for listening to my little rant! I feel better now. Hope you didn’t mind being dumped on. This too shall pass. 😂 😂 😂 😂 LOL

#302 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes Wisdom On The Web I came across the word Dayenu in an article about Stephen Hawking at Big Think. See this older blog post at which I explain more. Ben Kweller adopts the word “Dayenu” in the song Lizzy on his album Sha Sha. On his website he writes: Dienu is like an old folk word that’s Hebrew and it means ‘it would have been enough’… when something good happens to you and then another good thing happens to you. What you had in the first place would have been enough, if nothing else happens to you. It’s all about counting your blessings and staying grounded. (Link is below)

Life Power Tip Stop fighting yourself! Everything can be gradually changed for the better. Perfection is not the goal, progress is. Are you making progress? Then all is right with your world. Be less impatient and observe what is happening and how you can affect the situation. What actions can you take within your current means and with current resources? Action Go to a global action site and sign a petition or click on an action link. Challenge Take a deliberate 30-minute break to simply ‘be with’ yourself. Quote Paying attention is proactive. It is a conscious act that expands our consciousness. -Joseph Deitch Clearing Shift your focus away from hours and thinking more about what is actually being accomplished, increasing productivity. Question What price do you pay for negative feelings? Affirmation I choose to imagine a wonderful life. Uplifting Extra Most advice about love feels vague. “Be open”, they say. “Trust the universe”.

It’s a free, customized soulmate reading that fits you, your history, your energy, your story, all distilled into a two-minute experience. No fluff, no guesswork.
