Have Faith in Tomorrow

Don’t sweat the small stuff, because it’s all small stuff really. Don’t worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will take
care of itself. Be the thermostat, not the thermometer. Remember to dream, it’s not a bad thing.

Failure is an Option
5/9/22 – F4F - E169– Ryan Roossinck - Beer Money Pulling Team and TractorZoom
I wish I had known it was ok to fail. I wasted so much of my life and my opportunities, because I was striving for the perfect, instead of the good. Life ain’t perfect and neither are you! So stop wasting time trying to be perfect while opportunities pass you by.

It’s ok to expect failure. Life is happening so fast, it’s ok to fail. Just because you fail, don’t stop. Everyone that is successful has failed, but they didn’t stop.
8/1/22 - Mon - F4P - E86 (E199) - Jace Young - What to Avoid Doing: Legacy Farmer
99% of success is found in learning what not to do. (author, Keith Cunningham) It's not from people's wins that
we learn. It's from their losses that can really save us in the long run. Share what's NOT working, so others can

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and fail.There’s a lot to be learned from failing. You make some of your best decisions after you’ve made mistakes. If you make the same mistake twice, you’ll learn even quicker…I hope.
Try Something New
11/14/22 – Mon – F4P – E101 (E229) Kelly Garrett - High Yields, Plant Food and Direct Sale Beef Farm Progress Show

8/18/22 – Th – F4F – E182 (E204) – Lane Gorrell
A quote from John Wayne – “Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.” Live life as you want to live. When it’s rough, keep your head up and thank the good Lord, and keep a positive mind. Don’t let things get you down too bad. You can have a bad day, but don’t let it ruin your life.
8/11/22 – Th – F4F – E181 (E202) – Dwayne Faber –
At the end of life, when people look back on their life, they have regrets of ‘omission’ rather than of ‘commission’.Meaning – go out and live your life and take chances and do things that may be scary. You’ll probably regre
