Tom's Blog on Life and Livingness
If you are doing it tough right now, here is an inspirational example of how to respond to adversity.
Watch this then decide how YOU are going to shine and rise above your adversity!
Courage and persistence will take you to the places you deserve to be!
Regardless of your chosen profession, in order to survive you need to have the following skills. The better your skills are developed, the better your chance of survival.
You need to be able to observe your environment as it exists in present time. This requires the ability to accurately and fully confront the existing environment and the ability to accurately observe and understand the factors at play.
This may seem like too basic a fundamental but given that one very intelligent and experienced observer estimated that the average person is only 30% in present time with 70% of his attention is stuck in the past, you can better appreciate why accidents occur. Those pictures you get in your mind of past incidents? The argument you had that you keep thinking about? They are some of the things that make up your 70% of attention that is stuck in the past.
To understand the factors at play you need to have some familiarity with them. A stranger in a strange land has less knowledge of local factors so is at a higher risk of harm.
You need to be able to perceive and recognise threats and opportunities. This again requires accurate observation and some familiarity with the scene.
You need to know your strengths and weaknesses and those of your associates. This requires understanding and accurate observation.
You need to be able to think with data and solve problems. This requires intelligence.
You need to be able to make decisions based on available data. This requires courage.
You need to be able to act on your decisions. This too requires courage.
You need to be able to overcome obstacles, barriers and distractions and persist long enough to attain objectives. This requires drive.
I hope you are building your skills in these tumultuous times. Confront, communication, evaluating whom to trust and whom not to trust are key skills. If you want some recommendations to free, online resources that will help boost your survival ability, get in touch with me.
Read what happened last time we vaccinated with a rushed product!
One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled. The lack of peace in certain regions is proof positive that these principles are actually valid and needed, more than ever.
This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights. Hence this post and the request you share these posts so more people are aware of and insist upon their rights so that we can live in a peaceful society.
Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!
Dear Premier,
The COVID response was based on Imperial College Neil Ferguson’s projections.
These projections have subsequently proven to be wildly inaccurate.
In Australia last year there were 1,013 doctor certified flu deaths (as reported on the ABS site). We are nowhere near that number of COVID deaths.
Why are we remaining a victim of the media generated fear porn and altering our way of life for something not even a tenth as fatal as Mental and Behavioral Disorders (10,747 last year) when front line responders report self-harm and suicides are sky-rocketing during the lockdown?
There is no logical sense in the Federal or State government responses.
Please investigate the about and satisfy yourself of the truth of the above then advise the Australian people of the mistake and let’s get back to a saner operating basis.

Some calm and peace for your day.
How the race to develop treatments and a vaccine will create a historic windfall for the industry — and everyone else will pay the price.
(Tom: Despite the fact that the article exposes some of the worst aspects of the drug company and government fleecing of the taxpayer, beware the false data in the article! Unless you spot it as propaganda, it conditions you to belive in an unreal, drug favourable mindset:
Eg “since the pandemic won’t be stopped unless the whole world gets treated.”
“One of these companies is likely to develop the drug that allows the world to go back to normal”)
Worth a watch.
