Over the past several weeks there have been several deaths in my life. While some of these are people I’ve never met and others people who I considered friends or “brothers” – seems this cluster of misfortune simply sucks(especially for them and their family). Panhandle Rancher passed just a while back. Dave Wolf from Wolf-Fire Firearms passed suddenly and unexpectedly literally days after I met him at Prepper Camp 2021. Dave ad I go way back and we were just talking about putting together a firearms course for Maine Prepper Girl. Just this past week I learned that Serious Survivor on YouTube passed suddenly. Death sucks. Period.
My own dad died at the age of 65 after battling cancer for a year. I saw him work tirelessly to reach retirement age where he and mom planned to retire in New Bern, NC, and enjoy a life of gold and sailing. Cancer had other plans. I’m turning 52 today and certainly feel a sense of urgency to get where I want to be….soon.
Over in the member area, I routinely discuss my life at a much more personal level. A recent promotion and an upcoming move afford me an opportunity to accelerate my plans. Now is the time to grab life by the balls and make it happen. Can’t go back in time so everything begins now.
What do I want? What are my goals? What will make me happy? To establish and complete my American Exit Strategy.
Enjoy the day. No matter what it IS the first day of the rest of your life. Make it count.
