This year I’m determined to grow closer and more consistently with God. I know that my life is better with Him in it and that the last year of my life I had not consistently read, prayed, worshipped and praised. But I believe that God is able to change my life and I believe that I can make it a habit to go to Him.

I hope and pray that all those that follow me here has that same desire and that they have much success in drawing near to the ever present Lord.

The Machine's Magic Trick: How You're Distracted From the Real Fight

Have you ever watched a skilled magician perform? The real brilliance isn't the rabbit coming out of the hat or the coin appearing from thin air—it's the magician's ability to control exactly where you're looking. As your eyes follow one hand's flamboyant gestures, the other quietly executes the illusion. But here's the thing: this isn't just entertainment. Our world operates in precisely the same way, subtly guiding your attention away from what truly matters.

We live in an age where attention is the new currency, and it's being traded, bought, and sold without your conscious awareness. Social media, news cycles, even our everyday conversations are engineered to pull our focus in a hundred different directions. We're inundated with information, endlessly scrolling, liking, and reacting, yet we often feel more lost than informed.

Consider how often you've seen outrage flare up over relatively trivial issues—celebrity feuds, minor political spats, or viral videos. Our emotions are triggered, our attention consumed, debates rage online, yet beneath this storm of controversy, real and significant issues quietly slip by unnoticed. Who benefits from this manufactured outrage? Certainly not us.

Here's what many miss: While we're caught up arguing over fleeting distractions, crucial topics such as financial sovereignty, systemic corruption, and the steady erosion of personal privacy remain hidden in plain sight. These are the issues that determine how we live, our freedoms, and the future we're creating for our children. Yet they rarely break through the noise.

So how do you begin to see clearly? The first step is recognizing that your attention has immense value. Become selective about where you direct it. Start questioning narratives presented to you. Seek alternative perspectives, and be deliberate about the information you consume. Slow down, unplug from the noise regularly, and reflect on what truly matters in your life and community.

Cultivating deeper awareness isn’t just a personal victory; it’s a societal shift. Imagine the collective power if we all reclaimed our attention from trivial distractions and directed it towards real-world issues. How would conversations change? What actions might we take? How different might our world become?

The magician depends on you watching the wrong hand. Once you've seen through the illusion, it loses all power. Today, consider this your moment of clarity. You've seen the trick; the illusion is broken. The real question now is: knowing this, what will you choose to do differently?

Look beyond distractions. The real fight needs your attention.

Philosophical Question Day 4

"Is having a big ego a negative or positive trait?"

It is never bad to think you are great. It is never bad to believe that you are an amazing person and deserve to be valued. But once you start to believe you are the best and are better at everyone at everything, then that trait may start to decline.

Is having a big ego a negative or positive trait? It's negative. The world is built on relationships. It's built on the connections you have with others. It's how you treat others that in turn will treat you the same way back. The golden rule most of us learned in elementary if you will. Even if it's intimate or purely respectful, your status and happiness are based on how people perceive you. Most of the time, when one has a big ego, they tend to stomp on everyone else, to make themselves appear bigger and stronger. No one likes to be beaten. No one likes to see someone shove all their success in another one's face. Having a big ego, in simple terms, makes everyone hate you. You will not be treated with respect, you will be treated with resentment, and the feeling of discomfort. That's pretty negative to me.

This might bring up the thought of someone being themselves but against societal norms. They still love themselves and they don't care about the thoughts of other people and continue to do the things they love. Is that a big ego? Absolutely... NOT! These people do not think they are better than everyone else. I have not once seen someone who is looked down on by society think they are better than everyone else. They are simply at peace with other people's thoughts. Their connection to others is indifference. Not arrogance.

Having a big ego affects your connections with others and affects your impact for the worse.

Does anyone have more questions ideas? I'm sort of running out.

Who Will Be the Adult in the Room?

In times of crisis, whether global or personal, there’s often one lingering question: Who will step up and be the adult in the room? This simple yet profound idea speaks to responsibility, maturity, and the courage to lead when it's most needed.

We’ve seen this concept play out in countless scenarios. When the world faced the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals and organizations had to rise above fear and uncertainty to make tough decisions. In the battle against climate change, we need leaders willing to prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term profits. And when it comes to financial systems that seem to teeter on the edge of collapse, visionaries like Satoshi Nakamoto challenged the status quo, offering a transparent and decentralized alternative.

Being the “adult in the room” isn’t about age—it’s about mindset. It’s about seeing the bigger picture, taking responsibility, and acting with integrity, even when the solutions aren’t easy or popular. It means being the voice of reason, the anchor in chaos, and the one willing to stand for what’s right when others might not.

Why This Matters Now

We’re living in a time when humanity faces an array of challenges that demand maturity and foresight. Climate change threatens the very foundation of our ecosystems. Financial systems grow more fragile as trust erodes. Technological advancements race ahead, often without ethical boundaries in place.

In each of these areas, there’s a need for someone—or a collective of people—to step forward and make decisions that prioritize the well-being of others, not just themselves.

But here’s the catch: it’s not just about waiting for someone else to take the reins. It’s about asking ourselves—am I willing to be the adult in the room?

The Test of Responsibility

Think of it as a litmus test. On any pressing issue, from global problems like climate change to local challenges in your community, ask yourself: Who will be the adult in the room?

Who will choose sustainable practices, even if they’re inconvenient?

Who will stand up for what’s right, even when it’s unpopular?

Who will prioritize future generations over immediate gratification?

The answer should always be: I will.

A Challenge to Readers

This isn’t just about big, world-changing actions. Sometimes, being the adult in the room is as simple as stepping up in your own life—choosing kindness over anger, discipline over distraction, and responsibility over apathy.

The world doesn’t need more bystanders or critics. It needs people willing to act, even when the path forward is uncertain. People who will lead, not follow. People who will stand up and say, “I will be the adult in the room.”

So, the question I leave you with is this: Will you?
