9 Harsh Truths I wish I understood in my 20's:
1. Everyone is responsible for their choices and behavior. At the end of the day, it's always on us.
2. Quick fixes are popular because healing take time, new habits, and consistent commitment.
3. There might not be the one. Focusing on finding the perfect person takes away the time you could be learning how to self regulate and communicate.
4. We all self sabotage. We all have narcissistic traits. We all have self doubt. Welcome to being human.
5. People's opinions are mostly projections. You can learn from all feedback, but also know it's extremely bias. Nothing is personal.
6. Not everything needs to be fixed. The wisest people know how to sit with the pain and suffering people experience without saying or doing much of anything.
7. People pleasing is an attempt to control people's perception of us. Once you face that, you can finally start to let it go.
8. No one has a perfect life. Stop romanticizing the life of other people. We all carry things we don't talk about.
9. Your body doesn't just age because of genetics. It ages because of how it's cared for. Care for your body, it's your vessel for navigating life.
Which do you think is most important to learn in this life?

In Spring 2016, Cord Ferguson joined BrettYoung, and he’s been a valuable resource for Western Manitoban growers ever since.
With a diploma in agriculture from the U of M, he gets to work outdoors with farmers, which is one of his favourite places to be!
If you go through life with the attitude of 'my trauma fucked me up & that's just the way I am' instead of learning, healing & growing then you are now the problem. You're not responsible for your trauma but you are responsible for healing & passing on love instead of more pain.
To the poor soul who shit themselves at the Spirit Sands, the dog I was doing a photo shoot of tonight found your poo covered Denver Hayes undies in the bushes and wouldn’t let them go. Next time you shit yourself please considering packing in and packing out 😂
I think people forget that therapy takes time. you’re not gonna do 5 sessions and suddenly your trauma is healed & your anxiety is gone, it’s a process and it’s incremental change that adds up until a year in you realize you’re not throwing up from panic anymore
Noticed a downturn in many friends'/colleagues' moods the last two weeks. The early darkness. The hunkering-down feeling. The even-more-negative news cycle. Let's keep an eye out for each other. A phone call. A handwritten note. A quick text. A shared laugh. Caring and connected.
Love on your people man. Love with intention. Nurture your own and their spiritual growth. Be kind. Be honest. Be thoughtful. Be respectful. Be affectionate. Communicate. Be vulnerable. Do it because love is all that matters.
