Four Pillar Friday
Greater Life
As an entrepreneur over 50, your time is just beginning… Live the Greater Life
Chickens and Your Possible Impossible
If a chicken can achieve Biological Non-Fusion Transmutation
Now I appreciate before you can believe in the statement above, there’s a fairly pivotal shift that almost certainly needs to occur. Because unless you’re a professional or amateur geo-biologist
It is the act of creating new chemical elements
But then…
The chicken crossed the road…and laid an egg…and kept laying eggs day after day, despite consuming nowhere near enough dust dirt and grit to provide the requisite daily amount of calcium.
So…Biological Non-Fusion Transmutation became a thing. We know also that trees do it. And the fact that Breatharians (yep, people who neither drink nor eat anything, but live to a ripe old age) have been documented, it is fair to assume that we do it too.
So…as we head into Friday, with our traditional invitation for you to grab your journalling stuff and dive into one of the content offerings below…we leave you with this question to take into your journaling:
What might be possible if you knew you were not bound by the laws of physics, if you knew you could create at will, through will alone?
One thing, of course, is certain…you’ll never look at a chicken or an egg in the same way again…but we hope that in diving into one of the pieces of content below and journalling on it to harvest one game-changing insight you can apply this week…that you may just come to see your own life as being as miraculous as the chicken’s calcium wrapped oval of albumen.
Have a great weekend…and let’s dive into Four Pillar Friday.
George and Mike ??
Monday:?HEALTH
On Monday, we gave you a short newsletter with an invitation to check out a short documentary all about Grounding and the act of getting your skin in contact with the earth
Take a read, watch the documentary and maybe take yourself outside and get in touch with the earth while you're at it.
Tuesday:?HAPPINESS
The story of man versus wave, George's last ride of the day and the clarity that comes from the sweet spot
Wednesday:?HOME
When the layer of reality you exist in changes.
When everything we thought we knew about ourselves…our homes…our relationships is upended.
What then?
Thursday:?HUSTLE
On Thursday we tried something new.
Newsletter as video or to be more precise as YouTube Short and Instagram and Facebook Reel.
This brand new format for our daily newsletter saw Greater Life co-founder George walking his talk by letting go of the excuses of “it’s not the right time” and starting to do the thing he must to advance the cause of Greater Life.

Ferris Bueller was on to something
I've been a fan of Ferris Bueller's Day Off for as long as I can remember but I've never just taken off for the day in that carefree teenage manner.
Until recently
The past couple of months I've taken a weekday off to go and have fun every other week and do you know what?
It's awesome.
No crowds, no kids, all the time in the world to just enjoy yourself and the knock-on effect is that it's upping my productivity no end.
And here's an article from Winy Bernard Bertin explaining just why it's an essential part of the successful entrepreneur's toolkit.
And finally
The best anti-aging story we've heard.
South Koreans have instantly become a year or two younger.
It follows new laws requiring the use of the internationally recognised way of counting age that took effect this week
It replaces one of the country's two traditional methods, where people are deemed to be a year old at birth - taking into account time spent in the womb.
The "Korean age" system also sees people ageing up by a year on 1 January every year, instead of on their actual birth date.
Crazy huh.
