🐄 What I need your help with -
- I picked up a full cow this week.
- I think it's the best solution for health (meat from animals raised and fed properly), costs (buying in bulk), and the environment (regenerative agro instead of CAFOs). But having done this a few times now, I understand why people don't. It's not easy to find a farmer and inquire about their practices. And if you get past this 1st hurdle then you have to wait for the cow, work with a meat processor, drive (often a distance) to pick it up, take
18 coolers, and have 2+ large deep freezers to store it all, and ideally get through all the meat in 6-12 months. Then you have hundreds of pounds of ground beef and likely not as many of your favorite cuts.
- I've been thinking about a solution all year. I've talked with farmers around the US and can source meat from these farmers who treat and feed their cows right and take care of the environment. I could set up an online store at Meat Health where you could buy a half or full cow and get a bulk discount. Then we would store your meat in your "online freezer" and you could simply select how much of
what cuts you want delivered every month. You would even have the ability to substitute certain cuts for others (i.e. trade some ground beef for some ribeyes).
- I feel like this is the holistic solution to optimize and support your health, your costs, convenience as well as the farmers and the environment. Before I go all in on this, I wanted to run it by you, get your thoughts, concerns, and hear if this were available right now would you buy your meat this way? Your input would mean the world. And if this sounds like something you'd want, I think this may be my 2021 challenge :)

📺 What other challenge I've been thinking about -
- Going to a Tony Robbins seminar is on my bucket list. But this week he has been doing a 7 day Comeback Challenge remotely. While he has been doing these live (at no cost), it's still not too late if you want to catch up with the recordings (today, Saturday, is Day 5, but I've just been watching the recordings while I do my home workouts).

🌎 What if everyone in China jumped at the same time -
- There is a "scientific theory" that if every person in China jumped at the same time, the impact upon landing would knock Earth off its axis and we'd all die. What are the implications of living in a world, for the 1st time in history, where we can orchestrate everyone to jump at the same time?

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men and women who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it."
– Muhammad Ali

📚 What I bookmarked -
- As you probably know, I have an obsession with books. Just a handful of books are responsible for dramatic changes in the trajectory of my life. And I know there are many more life changing books out there I'm missing out on. Luckily I found Johnathan's book summaries to get great overviews of many of the books on my "to-read" list.

😢 What I don't tend to feel -
- "Sad" is not one of my primary emotions. I'm far more prone to stress or anger (which is really just another word for fear). And while I've never taken a course on psychology, I have taken a deep interest in human psychology, and (surprise, surprise) read many books on the subject. Perhaps the core lesson I've learned is that underneath most painful emotions is a feeling of "I'm not enough" (and the associated fear of being unloved / unloveable). While I think there are many approaches
to help not being sad, just knowing you are enough, inherently, as you are, is a powerful way to set aside negative emotions and find peace.
