Super cool to see you on an efoil! If you ever make it out to central TX, I’ll gladly take you on some tours of the local waterways. Super fun stuff!

“Today I am grateful for Jeff Russell!”
Me too!!! Great thought today – the present is a gift!

“No time like the present!”

Very timely

So true, life goes by faster the older we get, I am 56 too Larry and I am trying to decide what to do next as my hobbies have been similar to yours as having raced mx since teenager and college days along with all the vet age classes of plus 30, 40 and 50. Going to get back into BJJ once covid is over, just another goal like my shodan in shotokan, love exciting sports like yourself, but I don’t want to change my hobbies yet as most of my friends think I should because of my age.

Could not agree more! Thank you for the awesome content Larry

This is true, having the chance, I’d do some things differently in my younger years.

Thank you, you have no idea how close this hits to my home and is spot on!

So true Larry, I am the same age that my Dad passed away at 56 years young with a brain tumor, it really wakes you up when someone close has passed living wisely who was a health nut with exercising and eating along with having coached all sports being a high school teacher. In your quote, my Dad really did live till the end, loved teaching and coaching all his life along with loving and taking care of his family.

Good timing on this one for me today. (OK, not just today…this week!) Thanks

Larry – I am grateful for the positive and uplifting nature of your blogs.

ThinkDaily always seems to have what I need to hear, it’s difficult to maintain faith of any kind in times of trouble and distress. Sometimes you need to get a real tight white-knuckled grip on your vision of the future trust you will see things through. Thank you for reminding us of what we can do if we put our minds to it!

Amen my friend!! 🙂

Sounds like an interesting book! Figureoutable is a great word.

Getting started on the “should” things is what is difficult. I guess that’s procrastination!

Nope,… definitely not normal…

Very true! My CPA said I should qualify for the second stimulus package. Not taking it. It doesn’t feel right. We have to watch out for our future generations.

Most people cannot grasp what 1.9 trillion is and that’s a problem. They see the number they understand 1.9 and think ok no big deal. What they do not realize is 1.9 trillion if placed out in 1$ bills end to end it would stretch from the earth to the sun. If they were in a roll and a fighter jet traveling at the speed of sound were unrolling them it would take 14 years to get to the end of the roll. This is an absurd amount of money. The government is using this pandemic to spend like drunken sailors to give them a reason to come back and take more of our share of earning to pay for it later.

True!

So true. I wish everyone in the US could read this and grasp this. The government spending must be reduced!

I couldn’t agree more Larry!

I’m fascinated that we are so concerned about the quality of the environment that we leave the next generation but no thought to the financial quagmire that we are leaving for them.

True.

Well said.

Beautifully said! I agree 100%. We owe the next generations so much more than we are providing!

I’m confused as to why the economic stimulus package would be your example here. Taxpayer money being used here went to so many great things that affect us directly and so quickly; direct payments, assistance for the jobless, support for struggling parents, funds to rollout vaccines nationwide, school reopening funds, small business assistance, allocation of funds to local governments, paid leave and insurance help. How about you do a Think Daily on ludicrous spending done by our country that happens monthly, or how about we start informing people of billion dollar companies that are able to get away with skimping out on taxes (with some quick research you’d find dozens of profitable billion dollar companies that haven’t paid taxes in years like Nike, FedEx, and Duke Energy) as they just get richer and richer and the poor and lower/upper middle class suffers.

Its a good topic, and some good “I agree” comments. What is the solution though…how does this get headed in the right direction? Without getting into more politics, how do we the people (Because that’s who has to do it) begin turning the ship?
Serious questions! We all talk about the problem, I’m assuming Larry has a huge network here that can make a difference, what’s a solution? (Get the “right President” in place is not it).

The only chance our country has is term limits for congress and senate. I have never heard anyone disagree. Why cant we get them? Answer… Corruption on BOTH sides of the isle!!!

Thank you Larry, Senator Janetzki sounds pretty good.

Undo the 1.9 Trillion tax cut that Trump signed and Republicans passed in 2017 and you have no effect on the budget by the stimulus.

Thank you again for speaking the truth and telling us what we need to know. Government spending is the most wasteful way to spend money. So terribly inefficient compared to business spending. That’s why Trump’s tax cut was such a good thing. It put the money back in the pockets of the businesses who are better able to spend the money to boost the economy. And boost it they(we) did! If it hadn’t been for the “plan-demic” we would have seen record revenue numbers reported by the government. That was torpedoed though so that no one would know how well the Trump tax cut worked. My business still had to pay a gob of taxes, even after the plan-demic. But it was because we were profitable and pumping lots of money back into the economy by way of spending in our business!

100% True! There is a complete breakdown in the works that stems from the lack accountability (Self>Inner Circle>Outer Circle>Community>State>Nation). It starts with self. This goes hand-in-hand with your comments on blaming others is just an excuse. Great job Lawrence Janesky, tell it like it is!

10X agree!

I enjoy reading Think Daily every morning but I really like the things you’re grateful for. Hot Water, for instance, is a wonderful thing. I’ve been without it, briefly, from time to time and am so happy when it comes back on. Enjoy the weekend.

I found my precious 2 and a half year old grandson regularly proclaiming “I can’t” when he is “stuck” with something and can’t move forward. My immediate & positive response of “you can” with a little bit to guidance on how to solve the problem lights up his face and gets him moving forward positively. It is amazing how he now shows off the “work around” that previously would have make him utter those negative words. Let us put the “I can” into others lives if they struggle to believe in themselves. Thanks Larry for being that person for me!

We have to learn to be accountable for the good AND the bad! Everyone wants credit for success, no one wants to own up to failure. If you’re blaming others for your faults/failures, you’re lying to yourself! Stop lying to yourself, own your truth and grow as a person!

I am grateful for you as well.
