Putin Is A Mega Thief

Great explanation in the Wall Street Journal today for why Putin is focused in grabbing the east and south of Ukraine.

That’s where Ukraine’s energy reserves are!

To the tune of:

– $1 trillion of natural gas

– $400 billion of oil and condensate

– The worlds 6th-largest reserve of coal

And don’t forget the strategic ports of both the Black Sea and Sea of Azov.

Russia will control the energy supply chain for decades to come!

The West’s nonsense sanctions against Putin don’t even make a dent compared to what Putin is getting out of this deal!

Lesson from Putin is you can get away with massive theft and murder, and no one in this lawless world will stop you.

What do you think China is going to do with Taiwan next?

Stop The Excuses

Change is hard, but often necessary.

As they say, “adapt or die.”

Of course, you can change when you stop:

Take control of your life: change yourself before life bites back at you (and maybe hard).

We’ve got to slay our own demons not only outside, but inside. 😉

So important to keep the mind centered.

I tried something new in the pool to tread water using the minimum energy.

At first, my body resisted and I started to flail with my arms and legs.

But then, I centered my mind and started to control my breathing.

My deep focused breaths raised my body above the water almost by itself.

My arms and legs relaxed and just was there for support.

It felt so good to be in a better state of self-control and mindfulness.

Always need to try and keep the mind still, centered, and in control of the body.

Focus, focus, focus! 😉
