TSCN #82: Slim & Sidd Part III
-You Become What You Think About
Slim here,
I've been pondering on a powerful concept lately, one that's been resonating with me as I navigate the vast landscapes of the cattle industry and the digital frontier of Bitcoin. It's a simple yet profound truth: you become what you think about.
-- I am writing this last article of my 3 part series Slim and Sidd. If you have missed any of the last 5 articles you can access them below. I apologize for not leaving an audio message today. My voice is shot. I’ve been speaking non stop. Now back to the rest of the story. Love ya’ll.
Our minds are like fertile soil, and our thoughts are the seeds we plant. The kind of harvest we reap depends on the seeds we sow. If we plant seeds of doubt, fear, and limitation, that's exactly what will grow in our lives. But if we choose to sow seeds of confidence, courage, and abundance, we'll see those qualities flourish in our reality.
This principle is not just about positive thinking; it's about understanding the immense power of our thoughts and the role they play in shaping our lives. It's about recognizing that our external reality is a reflection of our internal state of mind. If we want to change our circumstances, we must first change our thoughts.
As I've journeyed through the cattle ranches of Texas and the Bitcoin minds of the digital world, I've come to realize that our mindset is our most powerful tool. It's the compass that guides us, the lens through which we view the world, and the architect of our reality.
When we see ourselves as capable, deserving, and powerful, we open the door for those experiences to manifest in our lives. We pave the way for success, prosperity, and fulfillment. But it's not enough to just think positively; we must also act in alignment with our thoughts. We must “walk the talk,” as we say in Texas.
This principle has been instrumental in the journey of The Beef Initiative. We started with a vision - a world where consumers know their ranchers, where local beef is valued and savored, and where the journey of food from farm to table is transparent and meaningful. We nurtured this vision with positive and empowering thoughts, and we took action to make it a reality.
We faced challenges, of course. There were times when the road was rough and the obstacles seemed insurmountable. But we didn't let those moments define us. Instead, we chose to focus on solutions, possibilities, and the positive impact we could make. We chose to see ourselves as capable, resilient, and resourceful. And that's exactly what we became.
We've seen the power of this mindset in action. We've seen ranchers reclaim their sovereignty, consumers reconnect with their food, and communities come together in support of a more sustainable and ethical food system. We've seen the transformation that occurs when people realize their power and potential.
But this journey is far from over. We're still sowing seeds, still nurturing our vision, and still taking action to make it a reality. We're still learning, growing, and evolving. And we're doing it together, as a community, with a shared vision and a shared belief in our ability to create change.
So, as we move forward, let's remember the power of our thoughts. Let's remember that we become what we think about. Let's choose our thoughts wisely and cultivate a mindset of abundance, resilience, and possibility. Let's envision a world where every consumer knows their rancher, where local beef is cherished, and where the journey of food from farm to table is celebrated.
And let's not just think about this world - let's create it. Let's take action, let's collaborate, and let's make our vision a reality. Because we are not just dreamers - we are doers. We are not just thinkers - we are creators. And we are not just individuals - we are a community.
Remember, folks, the power to shape your reality lies in your thoughts. So, think big, believe in your potential, and never underestimate the power of a positive mindset. As we say in Texas, "The bigger the dream, the bigger the life." So, dream big, think positive, and let's create a world we're proud to pass on to future generations.
In this journey, we've seen the power of collaboration and community. We've seen how a shared vision can unite people from different walks of life and create a movement that's bigger than any one individual. We've seen how the power of a collective dream can transform industries, communities, and lives.
We've also seen the power of resilience. We've seen how the challenges and obstacles we face can strengthen us, sharpen us, and shape us into the people we're meant to be. We've seen how the trials we endure can teach us valuable lessons, build our character, and deepen our resolve.
And we've seen the power of authenticity. We've seen how staying true to who we are and what we believe in can attract the right people, opportunities, and experiences into our lives. We've seen how authenticity can inspire trust, foster connection, and create a sense of belonging.
So, as we continue on this journey, let's remember these lessons. Let's remember the power of our thoughts, the power of our actions, and the power of our authenticity. Let's remember that we are the architects of our reality and the authors of our own story. And let's remember that this journey is not just about us. It's about the ranchers who pour their heart and soul into their work. It's about the consumers who are seeking a deeper connection with their food. It's about the communities that are coming together to support a more sustainable and ethical food system. It's about all of us, working together to create a better world.
So, let's keep dreaming big, thinking positive, and taking action. Let's keep sowing seeds of abundance, resilience, and possibility. And let's keep believing in our power to shape our reality and create the world we want to live in.
That night in Kerrville at our first ever, Beef Initiative Food Intelligence Summit, I met a man calling himself Sidd. We sat next to the fire and we spoke with authenticity and curiosity that builds a form of mystery that our imaginations have seemed to have forgot. Sidd and I talked about beef, bitcoin and riding motorcycles across the world. One thing in common is that we had ridden motorcycles in Thailand and we were going to do it again.
We allowed ourselves to make a promise that was backed by being present in our minds and present with our handshake. We agreed that we would trust and we would build and create. I took my son on a “rite of passage” I gave my mindset the authority to engineer another one in my life. Sidd, he helped organize that whole thing and by doing so he unfolded a new universe of thought in his mind and his consciousness. He is pioneering an international lifestyle. What a hell of a journey we have had. Folks, it’s time to pull yourself by your bootstraps. This international #CattleDrive is rounding up it’s hands and it’s herds.
A “Ride of Passage” is now on the horizon!
…..to be continued
Much love & respect,
Slim

I’m happy to be home and where I came into this world and I’m finding some peace of mind and my imagination is running wild. Just as it should be.
What I am listening to…
Take a breath, breathe it in
This panoramic view
The heavens opened up and set the stage for me and you
The wind is like God’s echo dancing off the canyon floor
A Palo Duro sunset beggin’ to hit the road for a little more
And I cross my heart and hope to die
That I need these western skies
So we can get lost somewhere on an interstate
I need a dashboard drummer who can medicate
On open air and roaming place to place
