GN Nostriches ✨🌙💤 Have seen several goannas at various times and places. I recall one very large one when we stopped for a coffee and some food along a highway on the way from Melbourne to Canberra. It same out of the bush from behind us and walked straight up to us. Naturally we did not feed it. It's not what you do with wildlife. Though we did give it some water. I'd say it probably met many tourists this way. The wooden picnic table likely has become its haunt. 😀🧡

Watching Man From UNCLE movie 🎥 now. Had seen it before. Don't remember it all and recalled that it was fun. So we thought we would revisit it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1638355/

We've started watching Masterplan movie 🍿 tonight. It's OKish. If it doesn't improve we'll choose something else. Maybe it's just a Stanley Tucci "retirement" movie. Can't say I like him with the English accent. Anyhow, for now, we're still watching. A bit of light entertainment. 🤣😂 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt38672588/

#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)

Remember! It's Your Baby

It speaks to you in your quiet moments and stirs you when you think about it https://www.forwardstepsblog.com/remember-its-your-baby/

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?

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.

(Link is below) https://www.selfimprovementgift.com/forwardsteps/501-time-tips/ Life Power Tip Heighten the feelings you generate around your desires. Your feelings are what play a vital role in the manifestation process. Increasing the good vibes that you have associated with any goals or desires, will move you forward in taking action with them, plus will cause others to step aboard too and help you in your quest. Energy is the source of manifestation and you need to increase personal momentum. Action Pat a cute kitten or puppy in a pet store. Challenge Include regular time in your schedule to enjoy yourself. Quote Keep in mind that you are always saying ‘no’ to something. If it isn’t to the apparent, urgent things in your life, it is probably to the most fundamental, highly important things. Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it. -Stephen Covey Clearing Go through every room and put things in their correct storage places. Question What are your most effective and ineffective boundaries? Affirmation I choose to feel that I am having fun.

(Link is below) https://www.selfimprovementgift.com/forwardsteps/subliminal360/ Life Power Tip Having lots to do is a good thing. Being in overwhelm demonstrates that you are “up to stuff” in your life. It forces you to prioritize and tackle the important, as opposed to the urgent, and forces you to take out the non-effective activities such as television viewing or Internet browsing. When you are busy you are likely expanding as a person, and you are most likely moving toward the accomplishment of some desired targets. You work out ways to be more efficient with the day to day tasks which, in turn, allows you to accomplish yet more in future and to value your time. Action Participate in a community project. Challenge In your mind, greatly exaggerate the benefits achieved from the smallest of today’s tasks. Quote I’ve never been afraid to admit when I’ve made a mistake. It nearly drives me nuts sometimes, making mistakes. I keep telling myself I should be perfect, but that isn’t what we’re here for. Perfection isn’t an option for us; perfection is death, Micko. We’re here to learn and change, and that means making mistakes. -Greg Bear Clearing Go through every piece of paper on your desk, and deal with it. Question What are your highest priorities? Affirmation I choose to value my need for fun and light heartedness. Uplifting Extra In this newly emerging world, with endless possibilities, new leaders are emerging daily. So here are 7 keys to being considered a world class leader. It’s important to understand that you have an important choice as two roads open before you: one is the road of power, the other that of force. The road to force is the lesser road and involves a lot of arguing, sleepless nights, stress and isolation. Whereas the road to power, is the road which leads you to cooperation, collaboration and success. (Link is below)

Listened to this chat this afternoon Col. Douglas Macgregor tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron that Saudi Arabia is "gonna go out of business," that a new commodity supercycle has begun, and that another U.S. strike on Iran would bring "years of scarcity" for oil and water across the Gulf. Macgregor, a retired U.S. Army colonel who fought in the Gulf War and advised the acting Secretary of Defense, breaks down the Houthi strikes on Riyadh and why he says Turkey and Pakistan won't fight Saudi Arabia's war, why the Navy can't secure the Strait of Hormuz, why refining is the real bottleneck for copper, rare earths and critical minerals, why he sees China as the real winner in the Gulf, and the diesel crunch behind Washington's Russian diesel deal.

Life Power Tip Have the courage to set a big enough goal. Set new expectations for yourself and your life. Often we play small games in life because we have small targets, we have small visions for what we believe we could accomplish. Expand your view and create a few big goals that would completely thrill you if they came to fruition. Action Organize a weekend away with friends, sharing the costs of a cottage. Challenge In your body language, whenever possible practice keeping your arms open. Quote Don’t let a loud few determine the nature of the sound.
