I'd much rather bring you good news than bad news in these podcasts.
And so today, I'm going to take some time out from the usual criticism that I offer in these podcasts of things that are going wrong to say, hey, guess what?
You've got something going so right in your life and in my life that it's worth noticing and taking advantage of.
And that is that right now, we have a window of opportunity to do the right thing To protect ourselves and our loved ones from what's coming.
In other words, you know, we talk a lot about things that might happen, that society is unsustainable, things are on the precipice, you know, a lot of discontent in society, possible civil war or social chaos or North Korea, you know, whatever, solar flare.
We talk about lots of potential threats, but even market crash, you know, the crashing stock market and so on.
But But the good news is that right now, today, you have the freedom and the opportunity to do something about it in order to help yourself make it through whatever happens.
It's really a gift, and it's worth showing some gratitude for, if you ask me, because we live in a free enough country and an abundant enough society that we have options right now.
But It requires that you exercise those options in advance of the thing that's coming, whatever that happens to be.
Let me give you a good example.
I'm just going to use Bitcoin as an example.
I'm not going to rail on Bitcoin here, but just use it as an example.
A lot of people own Bitcoins.
And, you know, Bitcoin has gone sky high in value to the US dollar in the last 12 months, let's say.
It's currently something like $17,000, $18,000, sometimes as high as $19,000, depending on the hour, as it moves by the hour.
So, people have Bitcoin.
Well, Did you know that you could spend one Bitcoin right now, just one Bitcoin, and you could buy, let's see, a kick-ass battle rifle, a handgun, 10 hours of self-defense training, 5,000 rounds of ammunition,
a high-end Trijicon optic for your rifle, plus like five years of storable food, emergency supplies for a family of 10, and iodine, you know, colloidal silver, Emergency bandages, communications radios, a ham radio, and on and on and on.
If you laid all of it out in front of you, all the stuff that you could buy for emergency preparedness for one Bitcoin, it would fill the floor of a bedroom.
That's how much stuff you could buy with one Bitcoin.
But you have to exercise the Bitcoin option.
You have to actually sell the Bitcoin and buy the stuff.
If you're not buying the stuff, it doesn't actually count.
So we have this opportunity.
But the opportunity must be exercised.
Same thing with the stock market.
Let's say that you have a bunch of stocks in the stock market.
You're part of the Fortune 500.
You've got NASDAQ stocks and Dow stocks.
And you're riding high because it's been just a bull boom market for a long time.
What, since about 2000?
You've had almost a 17-year run on a bull market.
Well, that's great, but guess what?
I mean, you have all this money on paper in the asset, and you have a very liquid market because lots of people buy and sell stocks, so you can definitely sell those stocks now without any trouble at all.
But if you don't exercise the option to sell, then you might miss the opportunity.
The day the market crashes the opportunity, Is lost.
And this is true across the board in so many ways, in so many opportunities.
Right now, you can easily buy storable organic food.
You know, we sell it at the Health Ranger store.
HealthRangerStore.com.
You know, Certified Organic Emergency Survival Food, if you want some.
Other places that have some, too.
But if you don't exercise the option, you're not going to have the food.
We live in a world right now with an incredible amount of freedom compared to the way most humans have lived throughout world history.
Even though we talk about the tyranny, we talk about the surveillance, the FBI becoming the KGB, you know, because of the leadership of all the crooks at the top like James Comey and Peter Strzok and all those criminals there, Mueller, and his investigation, totally corrupt.
And yet, we still, today, we live with more freedom than most people have ever experienced in the history of humanity.
We live with more potential for economic abundance than most humans have ever experienced in the history of the world.
Did you know that if you were willing to work today, it's impossible to be unemployed?
I mean, if you're able-bodied, if you can physically do some kind of work, and you're willing to just show up, you can make a lot of money.
Because employers everywhere are just begging for people who will show up and not be stoned and not be drunk and not be arrested for domestic violence, frankly.
You know, we, the employers, because I'm an employer too, we hire people all the time, we're desperate for people who will just show up and be sober and do the work.
If you're willing to do that, you will never be without a job.
You may not make a fortune, but you can make a living.
Tax rates might be lower for you, too, because the GOP tax cut is going to be good for low-income people as well who are working at that level.
If you're desperate for work and you're just working a low-wage job, you're going to pay virtually no federal taxes at all.
It's the wealthy that are getting socked by the tax reform, by the way.
Just FYI, I'll cover that in another podcast.
But we have all these opportunities.
You have the opportunity right now to learn the art of self-defense.
You have the ability to acquire a handgun or a rifle, if it's legal, in your area, wherever you are, and to get some training and learn how to defend yourself with a gun.
Most citizens in our world don't have that freedom because guns have been banned, even in places like Australia or most areas of Canada, certainly Japan.
China, forget it.
Most areas in Europe, forget it.
Yeah, you can own a gun, you have to keep it in a locker at a gun club in town somewhere and you have to sign in and then give them your fingerprints to get your gun out of your own locker.
It's insane.
How are you going to defend yourself at home with your gun in a locker halfway across town?
It doesn't work.
Anyway, my point is, Well, let me give you one more example.
You also have an incredible, incredible access to superfood nutrition.
Think about it.
Right now we have the most abundant superfoods and healing herbs and natural medicine available to you than at any time in world history.
And yet, most people are still drinking Diet Coke, driving through McDonald's, eating total crap, When the most amazing foods in the world that used to be the food of kings, queens, royalty, would send somebody out on the spice trail to bring back turmeric.
You can buy that at the grocery store for, you know, $1.50 a pound, but people still driving through McDonald's instead.
You got the food of kings right there at your grocery store, man.
And people are still eating garbage, a bag of Doritos, Oreo cookies, you know?
Because they're insane.
But my point here is not to criticize people who eat junk food, but rather to say, look, we have all of these opportunities to make money, to get great nutrition, to explore freedom, to express ourselves, to exercise our innovation and creativity and freedom to think.
And yet, if we don't act on all these opportunities, we lose them.
They slip through our fingers.
Because it's action that matters.
You can have all the opportunity in the world, but if you don't seize that opportunity, it might as well not exist, because you're not going to get the benefit from it.
We live in the best of times and the worst of times.
You know, to borrow the opening line, right?
The best of times and the worst of times.
It's the best of times because we have the most amazing opportunities in the history of the world for freedom and for nutrition, natural medicine, self-expression.
And yet it's the worst of times because the masses aren't taking advantage of all these opportunities, living on junk foods, sitting on the couch, watching TV all day, downloading garbage into their brains while updating their Facebook page every time they put a sock on.
That's the worst of times.
People are morons, right?
The masses.
But which do you want to be?
Do you want to live in the best of times?
Or do you want to live in the worst of times because they coexist right now?
Both of those worlds exist, and you can choose which one you want.
They're both right there within your grasp every day.
Every day you wake up, you can say to yourself, am I going to take advantage of all the opportunities that our forefathers have given us and that Mother Nature has given us and that God has given us?
Am I going to take advantage of those opportunities today and do something meaningful with my life?
And to help society?
Or am I going to sit here on a couch and watch Oprah and chow down on some Weight Watchers aspartame-laced diet brownies?
Because that's your choice.
You can live or you can die.
You can thrive or you can suffer.
You can be a winner or you can be a victim.
Every day, it's your choice.
And I say this because I encourage you to seize the opportunity.
Carpe diem.
Seize the day.
Because you live at the most amazing time in history, but it can be worth nothing if you don't take advantage of it.
And that's why people ask me, why do I do so many podcasts?
Why do I write so many articles?
Why am I doing all this stuff with nutrition and science?
You know why?
Because I'm thrilled to be alive right now in this time, the most amazing time in the history of our society as far as I'm concerned.
It's an amazing time.
I'm not going to waste a day.
I'm going to take advantage of every day to do the most that I can do to connect with others, share knowledge and wisdom with others, to help uplift our world and the experience that people have in it.
Because I know that our time here is short.
Every moment counts.
That's why.
Hope this gives you something to think about.
