    WORDS TO INSPIRE YOU! >>
    Inspirational quotes and motivational sayings have an amazing ability to change the way we feel about life and can change your thinking. This is why I find them so interesting and important on our paths to happiness.
    So what’s the secret of great quotes? You see, the way you think and feel about yourself, including your beliefs and expectations about what is possible for you, determines everything that happens in your life. It all derives from your quality of thinking.
    When you change the quality of your thinking, you change the quality of your life, sometimes instantly. Just as positive words can make someone smile, and/or, a well-timed humorous quote can make someone laugh, our thoughts react to the world in real-time.
    Think right—always.
    You have complete control over only one thing in the universe — your thinking – and that’s where motivational quotes come in! Self-talk is so important—THINK RIGHT!

    3. “Courage, dear heart.” –C.S. Lewis
    4. “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” –Albert Einstein
    5. “It doesn’t matter how slow you go as long as you don’t stop.” –Confucius
    6. “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.” –Friedrich Nietzsche
    7. “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” –Theodore Roosevelt

    9. “Anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.” –J.K. Rowling

    MY DAILY JOTTINGS >>
    6/2–Cindy and I did make it out to see some wilderness today. Eldorado Canyon State Park, somewhat near to Boulder, yet another world altogether.
    We spent a few hours hiking around, saw some great sites. Take a look here to learn more of this fantastic place >>
    There is much good mountain-climbing in the park. In fact, I did some mountain climbing myself, but did not need any climbing gear, that four-foot mountain was safe and easy to get to the top.
    6/4–Cindy was out for a run-walk, a couple came to her front door. They seemed friendly and I thought they were friends of Cindy’s. Because of his new beard, I could not recognize my old friend, Daniel Powell. Cindy returned after a short time and we all had a good talk.
    ****************************
    MY CHALLENGE FOR YOU THIS WEEK >>
    Become friends with three new people this week.

    INTRO TO THIS WEEK >>
    No wilderness this week, darn. I really miss being out in the woods and around animals. 
     
    It seems that, when I am not traveling, time seems to go much slower. 
     
    This mask thing is really bugging me. It has grown so big, to me, it is really unnecessary. I see people out in the open air, like in parks, with masks on. I think there or even people who were the masks at their home when no one else is around (perhaps even sleeping with their dumb little mask on?) 
     
    What comes next?
    Each of us in a little glass bubble?
     
    I don’t like the way the world has changed. I have no fear of death, are people really scared they will die so they wear a mask?
     
    As you would know, I love life and want the best for people. We are all going to die, anyway, I am prepared for it, our official death, which will come to each of us, you included, sorry to say.

    ==============
    From my book series, “Beyond Your Potential”
     
    I wrote the Beyond Your Potential series to go beyond inspiration and positive thinking. These books provide direct guidance to help improve your state of mind and body, your relationships, and the understanding of others in order to achieve the success and quality of life you desire and deserve.
     
    It is my belief, through experience, that every person on Earth is capable of attaining great heights of happiness and fulfillment, even if they have experienced loss and trauma and have faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles. I am living proof of that.
     
    In this series, I challenge you to thoroughly scrutinize your life so that you can clearly analyze where you can make improvements and also monitor the progress you are making toward your life’s goals.
     
    The larger message that I bring to you is how to make my experience meaningful in your own life—how you can set and achieve significant goals for yourself to reach a higher level in your life.
     
    IN THESE BOOKS,
    I WANT TO HELP YOU MOVE UP THAT LADDER OF YOUR LIFE,
    HIGHER AND HIGHER.
     
    Motivation does not last, but neither does eating a meal. Just as we need regular sustenance for our bodies, our minds also require regular positive nourishment in order to keep moving forward.
     
    Motivation takes perseverance and we begin to achieve steps toward our goals, our motivation increases. These books provide the support and inspiration through my story, experience and suggestions that can begin that spark of inspiration that can turn into motivation.
     
    When you focus on motivating others, it, in turn, motivates you.
    These books are not meant to be solely an instruction manual. I would like you to use a combination of my ideas and mix it with your own strategies to formulate a plan of action that works best for you. Reading these books is only the first step. You are the one who has to commit to your plan and see it through.
     
    I URGE YOU TO START UPGRADING YOUR LIFE IMMEDIATELY.
     
    Success means different things to different people. Anyone can be successful. Everyone wants to be. The problem is that some people think they can achieve success without changing their habits, their perspective, and their actions. The truth is success equals change and those that are willing to make the necessary changes open themselves up to infinite possibilities.
     
    As you might know, many people just do what is required to get by and slide through life, while missing out on countless opportunities and possibilities available to them every day. In this book series, you will learn to use your eyes, and see those opportunities with the understanding that action equals success. This book is written to help you clean your brain out to find the success that is waiting for you. Life takes work.
     
    I HATE TO SEE LIVES WASTED.
     
    There will be many barriers along your way. Determination is a key to obtaining the success you desire. Determination does not always mean sticking it out until you accomplish what you want. It means giving your full and undivided attention to whatever you are trying to achieve at the time.
     
    Great athletes, musicians, jugglers, and smart thinkers become dominant because they can focus and remain focused for extended periods.
    *****************************
    MY DAILY JOTTINGS >>
    Nothing much to speak of this week. Yet, we did get out one day. 
    Monday, Memorial Day, Cindy and I went up Lefthand Canyon to Ward, Colorado. Then, on return, we went through Nederland and stopped by the lake, very nice it was.
     
    Any chance I get, I try and get out to the wilderness, or even a local park.
    Nature is so healing and good for you; get out every chance you can get.
    This pet dog with Cindy is owned by Isaak, and this is a real wolf. 
    Originally from Russia, Isaak built his own home where we visited in Ward
    ****************************
    MY CHALLENGE FOR YOU THIS WEEK >>  
    Have you ever thought about going vegetarian or vegan? This week is the time to try it! No meat, none! 
    Perhaps later you will join me to fast (no eating of anything) for a week.

    5/16​​Not much this week, mainly stayed at Cindy’s and helped her to work on her house. 

    5/20–Today Cindy and I took a drive out to Castlewood Canyon State Park. Near Denver, yet it seems so far away. Some great sites, take a look >>

    At the park, one strange thing is they had tape on all the tables so you could not sit down and/or eat. As I have said before — ridiculous. ​

    Summer will soon be here, time to start preparing your garden! Every year I grew a big vegetable garden. Easy to do, just ask me any questions or search the internet. You will eat well this summer on your veggies.

    MY DAILY JOTTINGS >>

    5/11Yesterday I went to Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder. Normally this is a bustling place with many people. It is empty now, on a Saturday, just a few people, seems really weird.

    I did see nice flowers though.

    5/12I went to Costco and then to Walmart to get some things. You

     know how I can’t stand how most people are unfriendly, in these stores, it is simply dreadful how people are being so self-contained.

    5/13-15Every day I have been helping Cindy organize and arrange her home. Over the years much has been gathered and needed a new home, so much was given away or when to trash. In the kitchen alone we gathered much to be gotten rid of.
    ****************************

    Do you have kids or are any around you? Teach them something that will make their life better down the road. Perhaps a skill, or something you can do that they can’t (yet.)

    People are terrified of each other.

    Nobody talks, the eyes with masked faces are the eyes of scared animals now.

    I don’t want to wear a mask, I might get sick from my own breath.

    Something was broken.

    We have to be united now for the survival of the entire human race!

    And fight now before the cage doors close.

    2. “Everything you can imagine is real.” —Pablo Picasso

    4. “You can’t wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club.” —Jack London

    5/4Staying with my friend Cindy for a bit in Boulder, well, parked on her driveway and sleeping in the van. Just got back from Home Deport, then Safeway. Home Depot seemed fine, a little control. At Safeway, they said everyone had to wear a mask. Cindy went into the “controlled” environment. I hate this new controlled life “they” want us to lead – I WILL NOT PARTICIPATE!

    5/5BACK TO THE WILDERNESS! Today Cindy and I took a drive to Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs was open through this pandemic. Take a look >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVRGo_4qrSQ
