Can you figure out what the line is in this photo?It took me a couple of minutes to fully identify it. I thought it was an error at first. Something I had messed up and post processing The top part of the line is the edge of the cliff overlapping the natural bridge hole behind it. Then, the cliff is perfectly reflected in the sand which looks like an extension of that line.And now you know 🤣🌅

$330 for 4 bags of groceries?! 😭🥗 What the actual duck?

This isn’t going to slow down either.

Eggs now cost roughly $88 per dozen.

Every price tag is double what it was a few months ago.

The inflation rate is around 7% over the past few years.

Have you gotten a raise in that time? 🤔

If so, was your raise higher than the inflation rate?

How is this sustainable?

Easy answer - it’s not!

At least, not with the current system most of us have bought into.

🤥 “Get a fancy degree and have your pick of careers,” they told us.

🤥 “9-5 jobs give you financial security,” they said.

🤥 “Just work harder so you don’t lose your job,” they promised.

Now, we’re working 10-15 hour days just to make ends meet.

Living paycheck to paycheck.

Racking up debts with no end in sight.

I declare BS.

The system is broken!

It’s time for a revolution. 🎉

Join me, my friend!

Stop trading time for money.

Stop working for a company that doesn’t care about you.

Stop worrying about your financial future.

Instead, take matters into your own hands.

I was just trying to snap a photo of my son playing on the beach.Then, I spotted this lone bike rider on the cliff above his head.Without thought, I quickly zoomed in as far as I could and snapped this photo. My mind was swirling with other angles and framing options. But, I never got the chance to try them. Moments later, the entire scene changed. Gone was the solo bike rider.Now, he was joined by a group of bike riding friends.The photo instantly became busy.The tranquil moment was gone.Looking at this one photo I managed to make, I am reminded of a valuable lesson.Moments only last a moment.Photograph the first thing you see. Then, go back and try other ideas. So often, your first photo turns out to be the best of them all. Does that ever happened to you?

Want to make your photo better? Remember, you are the artist. You can move things around. If something is distracting, move it. If putting a different element into your photo would make it better, do it! It's your vision. It's your art. It's your creation. Make it what you want it to be!

I just won a huge battle between my ego, body, and willpower. 🥳

Here's the quick story.

Carrie and the kids left for the day this morning.

My body was feeling old, achy, and icky.

I really needed to move my body and go for a hike.

But, my mind (aka my ego) was telling me NO!

“You have too much work to do.”

"There's no time for self-care."

"I just don't feel like it."

"I'll exercise tomorrow."

Also, “[insert excuse here]”

Those thoughts raced through my mind as I stood in the kitchen making my coffee and prepping my eggs.

My willpower had failed. 😭

The path of least resistance was triumphant

Then, my body took over.

My hands turned off the stove and my feet walked away from the kitchen.

I got dressed, put on my shoes, and walked out the door.

Instead of starting my hike by walking up the steep hill, I ran.

Instead of bringing my phone and multitasking, I allowed myself to be at one with nature.

Granted, my mind was still racing faster than a speeding locomotive.

But, at least I was outside!

🤔 Why am I sharing all this? 🤔

First, I am proud of myself.

I pushed past the voice in my head and listened to what my heart, body, and soul were saying.

Second, it’s a powerful reminder to me.

Hopefully, it is a reminder to YOU as well.

YOU don't always have to do what the loud voice says.

At any moment, you can choose a different path.

That path may not always be the easiest one to take … but, it's usually worth it.

So put down the spatula.

Go for a run.

Take care of yourself.

YOU DESERVE IT!!! ...

Who else is burned out AF?!

Work-life balance?
Hahahahaha!

Long days and sleepless nights.

Stressed out.

Overwhelmed.

Waiting for the next ball to drop.

Tired of the grind.

Bills mounting.

Yet, I TRUST. 🙏

What other choice do I have?

I trust in each plan I come up with for making it all work.

When that plan fails, I trust it was an essential step in where I go next.

Over
And Over
And Over Again

It can be challenging to trust.

My resolve is tested daily.

Can’t someone else just figure it out for me?

Where is my vacation?

Going back to the 9-5 has a certain appeal.

It provides security at least.

But then, I would never see my kids.

I would lose my creative freedom.

It feels like abandoning everything I’ve worked for in the past 17 years.

So, I TRUST. 🙏

Just like so many other challenges in life, this one too shall pass.

I trust that sometime soon, I’ll look back at this period of my life with reverence for all the lessons it taught me.

I’ve been here before.

Leaning into the discomfort is never easy.

Jumping in head first is funking terrifying.

But what choice do I have?

I’m not running away.

I’m here for all that life has to offer.

I TRUST.

Thanks for reading.

Love,
Greg ...
