Hey so I stumbled onto something that I think might have changed my life. I say, "might", only because I just discovered it this week and time will tell how effective it is in the long term. Time management has always been an area of opportunity in my life and now that I have the freedom to decide what I do, when and how long... I can get lost and accomplish far less than when I had a boss standing over me. It's just like time disappears. Well this week I tried something so basic and so simple that anyone can do it. No excuses. You know the little clock app on your phone or on your computer... the thing everyone has and overlooks... It has been a game changer. What I do is I set a timer for each task before I start it and what I found is that just setting the timer... gets me moving on things that I would procrastinate doing for weeks. Not only does the timer get me moving, but I use it to schedule my day. You see, a full 8 hour day, if you do not have a boss, can run away from you. But if you're wise... segment your day into 1 hour blocks. Decide what you're going to do in that hour, set the timer and then go. When the timer goes off... look at your progress. It's a dopamine hit of accomplishment and achievement each time! Its a game that really becomes so fun, but more importantly, productive. I even use Ai as a quick place to take notes on my day. Tell it what im planning to do for that hour and then come back and share what happened. By the end of the day I have a list of everything that I did and whats next for tomorrow. Let me know if you're going to try this or if you have other hacks that work for you.

I was going through a fast and failed. I had went to Everett for advice. Me: Do you think God will be mad? Everett: Why would God be mad? Me: Because I failed Everett: Give me proof in the Bible that God would be mad or not mad please Me: I can't.. Never read anything like that in the Bible.I mean, I haven't read through it all completely, but I'm getting there.And so far , I haven't read anything like it. I Just want to please God and i thought he wanted me to do a three day water fast. I want to be obedient Everett:Take time and look in the Bible Me:Can you at least tell me what im looking in the bible Everett: You’re looking for proof that God would either be angry or not angry with you for not completing a fast Me:Romans 8:27-28 2 Corinthians 12:9 Isaiah 42:16 2 Timothy 2:13 Hebrews 4:16 1 Peter 5:7 I was looking at my Bible app, and I typed in the search bar, and these verses plus some others.But these are the ones that stood out to me But I could not find a bible verse where God is mad at someone for not finishing a fast. Just don't want to disappoint him Everett:What did you get from the verses? What is the answer to the question? Me:That God still loves me. He is still for me, that me messing up doesn't change how he feels about me. That i will always be his little ladybug. He doesn't expect me to be prefect. He wants my heart. That I just try my best. Wow I feel like that healed me a bit. From being judged based off performances as a child and feeling like I had to be perfect , had to be this perfect person to be loved. I literally as I am talk texting i literally feel waves of heat around my shoulders and chest I feel like this was a lesson he was trying to teach me for a long time but I didn't really ever get it until now. Everett:Can you use Bible verse to prove what you are saying? Pretty please 🙏 Me:yes One second Might be long and take me a bit Me: II Corinthians 12:9 NKJV [9] And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Ok so i just discovered something while Im working on my new book "Predestined? Free Will vs. God's Hand in Finding Your Spouse" In Genesis 1 and 2 the word for Man is the same word for Adam. Genesis 1:27 Modern English Version 27 So God created man(Adam) in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Ok so in this verse God is saying God created Adam in his own image, BUT as he's saying this he then says He created them male and female... but he's talking of Adam 😳... ya'll ever seen an Angel or heard someone describe one... where they have the beauty of a woman but they're masculine? - Don't get thrown off here but trans people are confused and unknowingly doing the opposite of God while still trying to obtain the perfection of God. Remember in verses like Genesis 1:26 Modern English Version 26 Then God said, “Let us make man (Adam) in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God is saying them but Adam is by himself or not even created yet... this is maybe why the translator said "man" instead of Adam. But this is the crazy part!!! 23 Then Adam said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she will be called Woman, for she was taken out of Man.”(iysh) 24 Therefore a man (iysh) will leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and they will become one flesh. As soon as Eve was Taken OUT of Adam... the word for MAN was changed from "Adam" to "Iysh". Why? Because in Adam was both male and female... Eve was inside of Adam from the beginning and that was the name God gave them. But when Eve was removed... His name stayed the same but this was the first time God was speaking of mankind as a whole... you see, we think when God was speaking of multiples when he would say Adam... God was speaking of Mankind... no God was speaking of those he had already created...

The truth is information is good, but you do not need more information to be successful. You just need to start. You need to make uncertain steps and adjust while you are moving. The hardest thing is to get the ship moving... its the law of inertia. "Inertia is the natural tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion, remaining at rest or continuing in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force." The hardest part is to start moving... but once you've started, the law of inertia is on your side... it takes external forces to stop you! Whats even more interesting is it takes so much less effort to shift your direction than it did to start in the first place. I believe this is also true of change. Many people have been living a certain way, repeating known and unknown patterns for so long that you find it hard to change. It takes a large amount of effort to change... but push through because this concept is natural and spiritual but really its extremely practical. People have had the idea, concept, and desire to start a business, change their method in business or shift ways to be more effective. Yet nothing has changed... Why? Because you need more information? No, you just need to act! Make a decision and execute. This is how successful people run their lives. They are always in motion. Poor people... they are physically and literally stagnant. Here in Brazil we have people that will be sleeping in the middle of the sidewalk at 12 in the afternoon. When I say SLEEP... they are not moving. Like... you would think they were dead if it wasn't so common. Not in a corner or in the shade, but in the middle of the sidewalk. You may not be laying on concrete but the same concept is keeping you bound. You're not moving. You've had the idea to change direction, to do something different... Why are you still in the same place? Move! Successful People Start Before they are Ready!!! As you continue reading, the information is coming from this article:

I was listening to a testimony this morning of a woman who went throughout her life, starting at the age of 11 doing drugs. She said that her mother left her family and abandoned her and her little sister leaving her dad to take car of them. Soon after she started to run away from home. She was so angry and dissapointed and took her mother leaving the family personally. When she was 13-14 she had her first trip to juvenile detention. She started to get involved in larger and larger crimes. By the time she was 16 she was put in jail for two years with authorities thinking if they could keep her behind bars until she was 18 she might have a chance. The story ends with her flying to LA and being so addicted to drugs that she was introduced to a mafia boss. She was buying so much and so often that when she would go to the dealers on the street they would not have enough product on them and so they sent her to the supplier. After some time he offers her a job transporting illegal immigrants over the border and after about a year, she's caught and put in jail for 10 years. Now at the age of 40 she's sitting and telling her story. As i listened to the story I was listening to hear if she would tie back all of these actions to the source... and she did. She admitted that all of her crimes were rooted in her drug addiction. And her addiction was to numb the pain of her mother leaving and her feeling abandoned and unloved. I share this story because, if we were honest, many of us have behaviors that we want to change, but just like this lady that tried numerous times to get off of drugs, she was trying to fix actions but never looking at the reason she was acting out. She even said, "I was doing all this for attention" but what's sad is, Yes, she was getting attention from men, from the police and attention from her family, but non of it was positive. She may not have realized she was screaming for attention, you may not realize why you're acting out, hurting those around you. Why certain things trigger you... but many times its the small child on the inside still crying out.
