#124 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes Wisdom On The Web Are you looking to move forward in any area of life right now? For example, taking a relationship to another level, improving work circumstances, wanting to feel more motivated, or even feeling like you want to do nothing at all. Before each action this week, ask yourself this one powerful question. (Link is below) Life Power Tip External issues are never the source of not being successful. When you look at what’s not happening in your life, that you’d like to see happening, take a longer and harder look at how you are the source of what is happening, and that the results showing up in your life are 100% your responsibility. When you really look, you definitely can see how it all originates from you and is sourced in the choices you did, or did not, make. Action Laugh so hard that your face hurts. Challenge Focus today on empowering every person with whom you have contact. Quote If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. -Henry David Thoreau Clearing Eliminate one unrealistic expectation that you have today. Question In what way are you a better person today than yesterday? Affirmation I choose to feel that I am, loved and loving. Uplifting Extra To improve your peace of mind, use this list of 31 mini-tasks to get life uncluttered. Begin to recognize how important it can be for your emotional well-being, to stay on top of things and to have little “systems” in place to keep things “ticking over” nicely each day.

GN Nostriches ✨🌙 You really must watch the 🎥 movie "I Swear". Incredibly well told and well acted story. Back in the 80s I had a student in my classroom who had Tourettes. It would have been great if a movie like this had been released around that time. 🧡🥹

Interesting & worth a listen. Text on the screenshot in the video: In investing you have to know what you own! • Bitcoin never was "inevitable'. It was always an experiment. Could humans, namely common people/plebs, cooperate to maintain a decentralized network RUN BY & USED BY AND FOR PLEBS! • Bitcoin whitepaper opening comments review • What gives Bitcoin value? Self sovereignty: No central control - decentralized Permissionless access to the network Network effect • Security • Why has legacy Core Bitcoin fallen below the decentralization threshold: • Bitcoin Core behavior • Centralized VC funding • Hiring new developers who are not Bitcoiners, this is just their job • Refusing to patch exploits because "it was contentious" • Pushing through a very contentious op_return change • Proof of Bitcoin miner collusion (Jonathan Bier) • My expectation isn't immediate death; I expect lower highs and lower lows cycle of cycle in inflation adjusted terms as Bitcoin trends toward zero. • What happened with BIP-110? • Failed to gain miner consensus because of collusion amongst the miners. For the first time in Bitcoin's history miners have ignored a subset of nodes with more restrictive ruleset. BIP-148 had fewer nodes... • At time of BIP-110 activation there were MORE Knots nodes • Bitcoin is now further centralized by pushing away the most fervent Bitcoin node runners. • The network is now very centralized and supported by NGU NPCs buying centralized derivatives of Bitcoin. • Does blake2b based Bitcoin have a chance? What are the possible outcomes? • Yes but many things have to go the right way and it's probably a long shot. • Worst case outcome is Bitcoin stays a centralized Luke/Knots centric chain with minority hashpower and it too trends towards zero. • Best case scenario is the huge support we see online, ratios in comments, huge support in comments section on YT videos that are either pro Core or pro Knots etc.

It’s designed to help you seize golden chances, conquer big obstacles and reach dazzling heights of growth in the new year. This goes beyond work, it’s for personal growth too. (Link is below) Life Power Tip Experience more of the emotions that you want. You get more used to experiencing these and they then become easier to replicate naturally. Create a change in your inner state now, for the outer conditions of your life will always be a reflection of your inner state. The inner state is where the real ​​​​​​​change happens. Action Increase your level of eye contact with the people you speak. Challenge Focus on understanding rather than on being understood. Quote If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. -Dr. Wayne Dyer Clearing Set aside 30 minutes to phone someone you have been meaning to call. Question In what area of life could you become more yourself? Affirmation I choose to feel increasingly OK with myself. Uplifting Extra Sometimes an idea comes along that simply offers a fresh way of looking at things—not dramatic, not over-promised, just a different angle on how we move through life. The concept behind the Infinite Manifestation Code is one of those approaches. It puts forward the idea that we all have an internal “switch” of sorts, something that influences how open we are to opportunities and momentum. Many of us go through life without noticing whether that switch is working for us or against us and this method aims to help people understand and work with it more consciously. The approach is surprisingly grounded. Instead of forcing beliefs or repeating affirmations until we’re blue in the face, it uses a simple process rooted in quantum mechanics to help you step into that “infinite” realm where things tend to unfold with a lot less resistance.

GN Nostriches ✨🌙💤 Found these old teaching tools while clearing out old stationary. Shredded a ton of papers too, plus found a box of cheque book stubs from the 80s and 90s. Was fun going through them. All binned now. Good clean up. Ridiculous that I still had these. Surprised me. 🤭😏

#121 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes Wisdom On The Web Most people do not fall short because their goals are too big. They stall because the steps feel too small to matter while they are still in motion. James and the Trail to the Mountaintop gently brings this to life through a simple story for children and a quietly powerful reminder for adults, showing how small actions can build into something far larger than they first appear. For children it is an adventure about friends building a path up a mountain. For adults it becomes a quiet reminder of how real change actually happens. Not in dramatic breakthroughs, however in small actions repeated when no one is watching and progress still feels far away. (Link is below) https://www.selfimprovementgift.com/forwardsteps/james-to-the-mountaintop/ Life Power Tip Experience “real” life. Are you waiting for “life” to begin? You just need to get some of those hurdles out of the way and need a few things to happen first. The children need to leave home, retirement at work first and then enjoy the things you love, certain amounts of dollars need to be saved, the time needs to be just right, etc. Consider that all those roadblocks ARE your life. When will you choose to experience them fully, along with all the other passing moments? Action Increase endorphins to help strengthen your immune system. Challenge Focus on sitting up straight wherever you are seated today. Quote When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us. -Alexander Graham Bell Clearing Dust and clean all window dressings or blinds. Question In relationship to a large goal you want to accomplish, when was the last time you asked “Why not me”? Affirmation I choose to be OK with time on my own.

#120 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes Wisdom On The Web Is there any easy way to know if you have personally evolved and grown into a better person? All experiences change us, in ways we may not even recognize. We live through many powerful experiences which help us see something in a completely different light and from a brand new perspective. (Link is below) Life Power Tip Expect good fortune. Live from the perspective that the universe is conspiring, right now, to bring you exactly what you want and need. Expect a miracle every day. Feel the joy of living in that knowledge or belief, and often do things or take actions to maintain that state of being for you. Action Incorporate mini-retreats for yourself each day. Challenge Find which times of day you think and work most effectively, and tweak your schedule to suit. Quote If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. -Marcus Aurelius Clearing Dust all surfaces in one room of your home. Question If you were your own coach, what would you be telling yourself right now? Affirmation I choose to have millions of dollars coming to me freely and easily. Uplifting Extra Awe isn’t reserved for grand adventures. It can appear in a shadow on the wall, the first sip of morning coffee or the crackle of a bonfire. Research shows it reduces stress hormones, increases generosity and even expands your perception of time. People who experience awe regularly report feeling calmer, happier and more connected. Pause, look up and let life astonish you. The ordinary is often extraordinary if you only pay attention. Cultivate awe and watch your mind, heart and days transform.

GN Nostriches ✨🌙 A few spider 🕷️ stories to help you sleep. 💤 Fun fact about huntsman spiders... In Australia, huntsman spiders are infamous for causing traffic accidents. They love to hide behind car sun visors or dashboards to avoid the heat. When a driver flips down the visor, the spider unexpectedly drops into their lap or onto the steering wheel, causing sudden panic and sudden swerves. I can vouch for that. Happened to me, although I'm still proud of how I kept my cool in the right hand lane of the freeway, gradually indicating my way through two lanes to calmly guide my car into the emergency lane. Lucky that it was in the days of rolled up newspapers. I swatted it out of the car. 🤣 My other huntsman spider story is being on the phone to a friend to say I arrived home safely after a night out. Single women did that for each other back then. Maybe these days too. Anyhow, I hadn't yet turned on a light and while chatting I noticed a blob on the wall in the dim light. Thought to myself, "I don't remember hanging anything there". So I asked my friend to hang on while I checked. Turned on the light and immediately screamed in my friend's ear! 😂 Then asked her to hang on for a bit longer while I got the vacuum cleaner. After sucking up the monster sized huntsman spider, I got a plastic bag and elastic bands to seal it up and didn't vacuum for quite some time till I knew it was dead. 🫣🤣😂 I did once hear another funny spider story, of a woman walking past a house from which she could hear loud banging and a male voice aggressively calling out, "Die, you bitch! Die, you bitch! Why won't you #%!&*# die?" So the woman phoned the police to report what she heard. When a patrol car went to investigate, it turned out to be a guy trying to smack down a huntsman spider with his footwear. True story. Reported on news channel which is where I think I heard it, years ago. Hope I relayed it correctly. 🤭😂 image
