The Imperative of Self-Sufficiency, Creation, and Resilience: Key to Modern Living

In the society we live in today, one of the most important things you can do is to teach your children to be self-sufficient. This includes skills such as gardening, firearm safety, archery, money management, canning and preserving, and emerging practical life skills that may be essential again in the future. With current events such as the crossing of our southern border by invaders, and the lack of accountability for their crimes, it has become more alarming to ensure that we have the tools to sustain our way of life.

Importance of Resilience and Positivity

No matter how challenging or eventful your day might be, it is crucial to find moments of joy or happiness, even if it's just a smile. This simple act of positivity can provide you with the motivation and energy to face the rest of the day with resilience and optimism. At the end of the day, reflecting on these moments will give you a sense of accomplishment and perspective.

I remember planting two seeds from a single tree this year to demonstrate the resilience that is required to achieve success.

One of the pots I planted showed no growth for a few days, while the other started to sprout and eventually blossomed into a beautiful flower. Initially, I considered giving up on the seemingly failed seed, but I refused to do so. Every day, I watered the plant, and after several days, it started to grow and flourish. This experience taught me the value of persistence and the power of resilience.

Creation: The Foundation of Abundance and Fulfillment

Create. Creation is the epitome of abundance in life. Every day, when you see yourself create something, you will experience stability, peace, and mindfulness. Creation can be both for yourself and for others, providing a form of service and rich, fulfilling experiences.

Creation can manifest in various ways:

Foundational creation: Creating something that forms the basis for further creations. Consistent creation: Cultivating an environment that allows for consistent creation. Recreation: Reimaging or recreating from existing elements to produce something new. Uncreated creation: Producing something entirely original.

Creation is a tool for survival. No matter how small the creation, it can add value and occupy your day. The worth of an unknown creation lies in the process and the unexpected outcomes that arise. Some creators are aware of what they're creating and its process, while others may be unaware of the exact outcome but know the process.

For instance, creating a digital program and being able to apply specific concepts to solve problems or using a digital audio workstation (like FL Studio) to explore new sounds and chords can result in unexpected and valuable creations.

The ability to create is a powerful tool that prevents life from being a waste. By creating, you add meaning and value to your days, making life more fulfilling and purposeful.

Conclusion

Through teaching self-sufficiency, practicing resilience and positivity, and embracing creation, we can ensure that our lives are filled with purpose and value. These are essential skills and attitudes that everyone should cultivate to thrive in today's world.
