Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. This always helps me with fear. I like to keep things simple and to not worry about things that are outside of my control.
The quieting of my fear comes from my faith in Christ. He who created me, forgives me and loves me removes all fear including the fear of death. Christ's love also enables me to love others. To me, this is the best antidote to fear. I pray for such assurance for you and your family also. I do enjoy your farming videos.
I agree. I have absolutely NO fear of death, because I know that even when the time comes that my body is "dead," my soul will live eternally, because of my relationship with Jesus Christ.
Pete, really enjoyed listening to your video. As a general rule, I usually don't spend time worrying about what other people tell me I should think or worry about in my life. Your rashanal, calm talk was, in my opinion, on spot. I am an old man now, with many years experience in life. A combat vet, Army officer, a retired lawman and I have always believed that good always wins. Keep doing what you are doing with your lovely family cause you are following the right track. God bless you.
Greetings from the mountains of northern NH. Very introspective, Pete. When we slow our lives down enough to focus on the basic elements of survival, we find the answers to questions we couldn't even comprehend when we were trapped on the treadmill of life. When I subscribed, more than a year ago, I didn't expect this channel would become such a treasure. Well done, my friend! You are in a good place, and it is rubbing off on others.
I just found your channel a few days ago. I don’t know where you stand on religion but I just wanted to comment. At age 30 I had a heart attack and these heart issues continued to present day. I am now 68 yrs. Old and I have never ever feared death because I know where I will be after death. This in no way says I don’t care if I live or die of course I want to be here with my wife and our children and grandchildren. But I don’t have fear of death. I do have fear for what the future looks like for my grandkids because the general morality is sinking so low
It's human to fear, there's just no way around it. But, how we deal with the fear is what shapes us into the people we are. I heard a preacher teach on fear and it completely changed how I looked at it: F-- false E-- expectations A-- appearing R-- real Also, the Good Lord took care of us when He wrote in the Bible 365 scriptures telling us NOT to fear...that's a scripture for each day of the year! It's amazing how good God is!❤
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you, Let not your heart be troubled. neither let it be afraid.. My friends if we have God living in our hearts and are living for him we have nothing to fear!
Love these comments this is more uplifting then the video to see Jesus in ppls hearts I wish everyone on hear would have the peace that passes all understanding god bless everyone take the time to say a pray that anyone who reads this will consider Jesus for when two or more r gathered together he is with them
Someone needs to archive these videos and put them in a time capsule so when the human race has lost their way and technology has finally failed us we a source of information on how to restore humanity. I enjoy these types of video from you more than any other. A stoic and simple life truly is the answer to a lot of what ails modern society. Thank you for these videos Pete I really appreciate it.
2nd Timothy 1:7 you are right in that we should do our own research, before making our decisions about anything ! Then use our intuition, gut feeling whatever you call it ! Then decide what to do or not to do ! Research and knowledge are the key to unlocking the door to TRUTH !!! GOD BLESS Y'ALL!!!
Fear of failure plagues our society currently. Most folks don’t realize that failure is where we learn the most. Failure is to be embraced and learned from. Not to be feared. Great video! Your points are all on target.
Hi Pete, love the pigs so cute. Fear is the worst. I have always pushed through . The last 2 years have been very hard on me. Thank you for doing this video . It helps me.I will be making brownies today. God bless.
I appreciate this video. I have watched you for a few months now and I have been nothing but impressed. You educate and entertain simultaneously. This was a very timely message. Thanks!
You shouldn't have fears if you believe in God. Nothing happens unless He allows it. If it does happen and it is dangerous He will lead you through it. He is my higher power and authority. Love your videos keep them coming. I just wish I had your get up and go...
The Lord said in John 10:10 that the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy but He came that we might have abundant life. We are told several places to be on guard for our adversary goes around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. 1st Peter 5:8. We are told in Ephesians 6 to put on the whole armor of God. Jesus won the war but we still fight battles, not against the Lord but against the enemy who is still loose in the world. God is not in control but He left us that responsibility. We have abdicated our duties.
@@jimbuford4147 God is in control of all things. He has allowed the people to go just so far before He intercedes. He did this to His own people the Israelites before He allowed an enemy to overtake them and placed them in captivity until they saw the light and repented. AGAIN AND AGAIN He forgave them, but He is still has control of them all of the time and didn't destroy them as He promised because they were His people.
@@jimeburg4828 So to follow your logic people who die and go to hell go there because God wants them to? If, as you say, he controls all things he controls their wills as well as their actions. By the way, God purposed the Israelites to go astray because as you say He is in control. If God is in control He is in control of everything. My contention is God wants all of us to follow Him but He allows us free will and we ultimately do as we will. Adam and Eve must have been intended to eat of the tree of the Knowledge of good and evil since they did do so. Why didn't God stop them since He controls everything? To be in control means God initiates and authors everything good or bad in a person's life.
@@jimbuford4147 Let me start out by saying God allows us to do just about what we want to do, but he sets down the penalties or consequences to disobeying His laws or commands. People go to Hell because they refused to obey His commands not because God wanted them to go there. God has warned us in his Word that sin and disobedience of his commands will land us in hell if we don't repent. The Israelites chose to disobey and they paid the penalty God set down and allowed them to go into captivity until they saw the error of their ways and begged for forgiveness and out of His Love, Mercy and Grace He will forgive. Adam and Eve were told of the penalty or consequence of disobedience to God's warning but they went ahead and did it anyway. The Bible is given to us by God for instruction and guidance as to our behavior and the rules that He gives us. He does not purpose us to disobey but just as in our daily life there are laws and we must obey them or we pay the price or penalty for our own actions. Thank you for allowing to say this and God Bless and keep you and yours in this world that is full of disobedience to Him. We will pay the penalty for this sin.
@@jimeburg4828 I agree with this. But this is plainly not Him being in control. We set up rules for our kids and they either obey or disobey. We set the penalty for their disobedience but still they control their will. They decide, not us, as to what they will do. Your explanation is clearly opposed to the statement you have made that God is in control. If there is any control it is certainly not total control. Otherwise disobedience would not be an option.
Always watch, no matter the title. I may not come out of it feeling I could raise pigs myself or reconstruct a tractor, but the wisdom and good mood I almost always come away with, will likely serve me even more. You are #winning on sooo many levels. Thank you!
Pete, I'm 68 and I totally understand what you're saying...The fear and doubt over the last two years is destroying this world!! We all need each other but that relationship is looking bleak. Thank you and have an Great Day!! 😊⚘❤
Pete! I have started taking notes when I watch your videos. I'm a bit older than you, sometimes you young pups just make sense when you talk. I think we were trained by the same folks, not in school, not in architecture, but in Life. Thanks for posting these videos.
You should have been a minister. You really get your point across. So we can totally understand.... I was a professional firefighter for 30 years in Baltimore County Maryland. Fear will get you killed. It is awareness an what to do semi safely.... I always say... What will happen if I do nothing... Have a great day Pete....
I always enjoy your videos. I’m 65, and have been very independent since around 15. I paid my own way through college earning a degree in agricultural science with a minor in biology. My life has always been based on similar thought of what you shared in your video. You have a unique way of conveying this message which I think many people have not had the opportunity to experience. Great videos, I hope you keep them coming so I can share with others 👍
I love when you mix the homesteading with the bigger picture of life and your perspectives. I realize how similarities many of us have in addition to farm raised childhood. Nicely done.
Hi Pete. I really love these videos. There’s just something about them that makes me feel like I just had a wonderful conversation with a very close Friend. And that friend shared a bit of their wisdom with me. Thank you and God’s blessings to your family.
Thank you so much for this post Pete. I really enjoy all your videos. My husband loves your mechanical posts and I love your philosophies about life on this little blue planet. On the topic of fear I couldn’t agree more! Today on the day before hundreds of truckers convoy towards our country’s capital to protest vaccine mandates. I can’t help but wonder if fear is the biggest motivator for this movement. Fear of a needle, fear of the unknown, fear of a virus, fear of the government and on and on... My hope is that kindness and acceptance wins out over fear and hatred. Thank you for your thoughtful posts. Bravo.🙏
Pete, It made me smile when you spoke of remodeling the house or rebuilding the tractor. I have never been afraid to tear into things like this because of what my Grandpa always told me. " A man made it so a man can fix it" was how he viewed it. Plus if it is already broke what is it going to hurt to try? Thanks for the video, love your perspective and musings.
One of my greatest teachers taught me "Chance favors the prepared mind." That sounds like your advice to "go in wired tight," or said differently - be prepared. Great video Pete. Thanks for sharing!
Great thoughtful video Pete. I have lived a long life so far. I have drawn some conclusions so far. Try not to worry about things I cannot control or change. I do trust people who I perceive do not lie to me. Once they lie then I move on from them. I also like you treat people who or what they are the same. We are all different but when it comes the basics of life we are all the same. I try to have a good outlook in life. I am a calm person, raised by great 😊 kind parents. I live by Christian values. I am not a preacher but do live a life honestly and trust among others. Have a good day Pete.
I’m glad I discovered your videos, Pete. As a guy who quit engineering after 30 years to buy a campground, I feel like I can identify with a lot of your stories. I found you through your tractor videos, as I am spending my winter working on a Farmall A, but I’ve really been drawn into your everyday farm experiences. Keep up the great work!
Peter, we love it when you can sit and talk with us. Today's message is so powerful! Our lives need to be created by ourselves. Not the ideas that seem to be out there that are just destroying our nation. We'll keep positive and hope we can work toward a more peaceful and calmer life. Be well.
I needed to hear the message in this video. I am training to become an industrial mechanic and the new information and responsibilities are quite overwhelming. I do have the fear of messing up and causing a major issue. I also find myself hesitant to take on complicated repairs at home, so I bring it to a shop to complete instead. I will try to be more confident when the next issue arrives. Thank you for this great content!!!
Thank you for helping me recenter my thoughts I am watching my husband slowly slip away from CHF and I need to remember to look at the bigger picture for my family. Thank you again very uplifting video.
I have always liked you and your videos, and now I find myself liking you even more. It’s like a breath of fresh air to hear someone using logic, reason and common sense. So thank you Pete.
Thanks Pete for putting inot words what many of us have been considering, but may not be as eloquent as you can be. Please know that some of us watch your channel looking forward to the times that you "teach" as well as feed the cattle and rebuild the tractor. My best to you, Hillary and your family. Jim R
"Remember, fear destroys cognitive function. So, we dare not fear. No, what we do is prepare to disengage from vulnerabilities." These are wise words from our mentor, Joel Salatin, direct from his worldview. This works whether it's a natural or man-made disaster and on into eternity. He answered life's three main questions long ago; where did I come from, why am I here and where am I going and oh, it shows. You put your finger right on it this time, Pete. There's a lot of folks running scared these days.
Most people do not fear death itself. They mostly fear how their families will survive without them. Someone once said, "sorrow is not for the deceased, but for the living"
Thank you! What a delight to hear about your background as an architect. What a nice skill set to approach the world with. Your gentle, reassuring, message is more of what we need to be taking in now.
I was working up near you in the '80's installing CNC machines in the Remington Arms factory. I really like it up there. You're right, keep it simple, and I'll add unplug the cable TV and stream the truth. 😄👍
Pete... I find comfort in the way you present your topics. Being an old shade tree mechanic, having rebuilt many engines in my basement, I absolutely love the tractor rebuild. You're perspective on life and the world around us gives me solace. Not realizing that you came "back" to
Sorry... Hit send on accident. farming after a career in architecture, I found myself wondering a few things. I'm a trained engineer and changed careers to become a full-time Fire Chief about 11 years ago. I now find my interests have moved towards agriculture. Add I approach retirement age, l have an insatiable desire to get into farming. That being said, how did you make the transition? Keep up the inspiring work please. Mike Mulligan.
Your ruminations on fear touched a chord. I'm married to a computer whiz with a technology career stretching back 40 years. I used to fear fixing computer glitches and crashes until I realized, (after watching him go thru the exact same analytical steps I'd already performed with no success) that I needed to rely on my own acquired knowledge & not always defer to others. Sometimes you just have to trust yourself! Love your channel and all content.
Mercy me, what a deep subject. That's a large complex subject that can really take a person to lots of different thoughts and feelings. I agree with you on what scares me the most, what will happen to my loved ones after I'm gone. I think you should be frightened of that, cause if your not, then the ones you leave behind will be the ones to suffer the most. Now, on to a less complicated matter, those roaches are getting braver and I was surprised you didn't say, "Run, Run, Run", the classic line. As you would say, "those piggers", their cute and funny too, makes me smile when I see them run. Loved the aerials of your place. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and life experiences. Have a great weekend!
Your right... were living with dogmatic narrow minded folks in key positions of power abusing it on the regular. The ick that shall not be named highlights this beautifully... The world is not a kind place. Never had been. Thanks for sharing Pete
Great video, Pete. I am a project manager, engineer, and farmer, but I listen to a plethora of different themed videos on TH-cam during my workweeks. You make some excellent points about fear. Your comment about "fear of the unknown" reminds me of a TedTalk I listened to by a gentleman named Daryl Davis. He makes the comment, "We fear those things we do not understand. If we do not keep that fear in check, that fear, in turn, will breed hatred, because we hate those things that frighten us. If we do not keep that hatred in check, that hatred, in turn, will breed destruction." I feel like that statement has become quite applicable as fears seem to increase in today's society.
My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this video. Honestly we have been having a lot of fear over health and life stuff. Your video was very calming. Thanks Pete!!
I love and appreciate videos like these. Thank you Pete for sharing you approach to life. I choose joy over fear or anger anytime personally. Laughter has always been my best medicine in life.
Thanks Pete, I love these ruminations as much as your other content. Keep them coming, it's a bright spot for me while trudging through January in upstate New York.
This is what is needed today…Pete you hit the nail on the head… fear is the worst enemy imho people can experience…we do not have enough examples of how to thwart fear… especially for the youth of our nation…all we need is “just a few examples” to change this epidemic…you sir may just threw the right size stone in the pond to start the ripple effect needed Please don’t stop making videos…you probably saved someone’s life with this one! Thank you
Thank you Pete for your calm demeanor and wonderful logic and humor. What you speak of and how you view things in life is just like how I see and do things. I live in the country (far from the maddening crowds) and I love it that way. Yes, I too feel safe because of this. I am a nurse who has worked in a big medical center around people from all over the world. What a wonderful experience. Too many folks want instant gratification these days. Long ago people achieved great things without all the complications. Some where along my path I even schooled for carpentry so now I get to work on my farm house. Keep these words of wisdom and perspectives coming because many will and are learning.
Wow! For me, the comments below say it all. You are a good person, Mr. Pete, and know that since listening to your channel and get a bit more familiar with your personality, I too walk away from another video that was inspiring and positive. Thank You
Pete. You're a damned fine man and I appreciate you. This video resonated with me down to the atoms we call me. Thanks for this. Please never stop being a positive force. Nothing but love!
Appreciate your views on fear, having served our country for six years, a part of which was in a combat zone, you can learn very quickly how to deal with fear, no matter which form it comes in. Fear for your life, fear for health, or whatever causes you to focus your attention on a particular matter, I've found that in most cases, most any fear can be overcome by applying just good old common sense to it. I had a lot of fear at first when I served but as time went on you can learn how to control it to the point where it's not fear anymore.
I really enjoyed your talk on finding peace. Retired and growing older I find that common sense is getting harder and harder to find. It was so good to hear some today from you. Thanks for sharing it.
Very wise words and I agree completely. When you stop taking chances and making changes you are no longer living you are just a nuisance to the rest of the world. The rule I live by is "the only thing that never changes is everything will always change".

My hope is that kindness and acceptance wins out over fear and hatred. Thank you for your thoughtful posts. Bravo.🙏
Pete, It made me smile when you spoke of remodeling the house or rebuilding the tractor. I have never been afraid to tear into things like this because of what my Grandpa always told me. " A man made it so a man can fix it" was how he viewed it. Plus if it is already broke what is it going to hurt to try? Thanks for the video, love your perspective and musings.
Just sent this to my daughter. She has an almost 3 year old daughter, number 2 on the way, and husband now on deployment.
Thanks.
Exactly what I needed today.
The piglets were great examples of fear versus trust.😄
Thank you.
One of my greatest teachers taught me "Chance favors the prepared mind." That sounds like your advice to "go in wired tight," or said differently - be prepared. Great video Pete. Thanks for sharing!
Great thoughtful video Pete. I have lived a long life so far. I have drawn some conclusions so far. Try not to worry about things I cannot control or change. I do trust people who I perceive do not lie to me. Once they lie then I move on from them. I also like you treat people who or what they are the same. We are all different but when it comes the basics of life we are all the same. I try to have a good outlook in life. I am a calm person, raised by great 😊 kind parents. I live by Christian values. I am not a preacher but do live a life honestly and trust among others. Have a good day Pete.
You’re making me hungry. Completely agree with your comments. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
Howdy from Texas. You have a good philosophy. Just remember fear is not from God. I pray you have a personal relationship with him. Love you channel.
I’m glad I discovered your videos, Pete. As a guy who quit engineering after 30 years to buy a campground, I feel like I can identify with a lot of your stories. I found you through your tractor videos, as I am spending my winter working on a Farmall A, but I’ve really been drawn into your everyday farm experiences.
Keep up the great work!
Food for thought, Pete and thought is what keeps us looking at the “big picture”. Thanks
Peter, we love it when you can sit and talk with us. Today's message is so powerful! Our lives need to be created by ourselves. Not the ideas that seem to be out there that are just destroying our nation. We'll keep positive and hope we can work toward a more peaceful and calmer life. Be well.
that my friend is a great video. thank you.
I needed to hear the message in this video. I am training to become an industrial mechanic and the new information and responsibilities are quite overwhelming. I do have the fear of messing up and causing a major issue. I also find myself hesitant to take on complicated repairs at home, so I bring it to a shop to complete instead. I will try to be more confident when the next issue arrives. Thank you for this great content!!!
Thank you for helping me recenter my thoughts I am watching my husband slowly slip away from CHF and I need to remember to look at the bigger picture for my family. Thank you again very uplifting video.
I have always liked you and your videos, and now I find myself liking you even more. It’s like a breath of fresh air to hear someone using logic, reason and common sense. So thank you Pete.
Hi Adam! Thank you!
Our philosopher farmer friend. Thanks Pete.
Love your “fireside chats!” Thanks for another great video!
Thanks Pete for putting inot words what many of us have been considering, but may not be as eloquent as you can be. Please know that some of us watch your channel looking forward to the times that you "teach" as well as feed the cattle and rebuild the tractor. My best to you, Hillary and your family. Jim R
Thanks for your posts and taking a break from tractor repairs. We love the farming aspect.
It's encouraging to an old man like me to see a young man like Pete with a wisdom beyond his years.
"Remember, fear destroys cognitive function. So, we dare not fear. No, what we do is prepare to disengage from vulnerabilities." These are wise words from our mentor, Joel Salatin, direct from his worldview. This works whether it's a natural or man-made disaster and on into eternity. He answered life's three main questions long ago; where did I come from, why am I here and where am I going and oh, it shows. You put your finger right on it this time, Pete. There's a lot of folks running scared these days.
Most people do not fear death itself. They mostly fear how their families will survive without them. Someone once said, "sorrow is not for the deceased, but for the living"
You're the Bob Ross of self sufficiency, and I love it
Thank you! What a delight to hear about your background as an architect. What a nice skill set to approach the world with. Your gentle, reassuring, message is more of what we need to be taking in now.
Pete, what a great talk. I love it when you just talk & explain your thoughts. & your pig’s looks good also.
U are a wonderful smart person Pete ! Keep the good messages coming ! We all need them !
Listening to you makes me think of my Dad. I am much older than you but you have shared a great wisdom. Thank you Pete!
You are a very wise man Pete. I learn something from every video.
I was working up near you in the '80's installing CNC machines in the Remington Arms factory. I really like it up there. You're right, keep it simple, and I'll add unplug the cable TV and stream the truth. 😄👍
Pete...
I find comfort in the way you present your topics. Being an old shade tree mechanic, having rebuilt many engines in my basement, I absolutely love the tractor rebuild. You're perspective on life and the world around us gives me solace. Not realizing that you came "back" to
Sorry... Hit send on accident.
farming after a career in architecture, I found myself wondering a few things. I'm a trained engineer and changed careers to become a full-time Fire Chief about 11 years ago. I now find my interests have moved towards agriculture. Add I approach retirement age, l have an insatiable desire to get into farming. That being said, how did you make the transition?
Keep up the inspiring work please.

Your ruminations on fear touched a chord. I'm married to a computer whiz with a technology career stretching back 40 years. I used to fear fixing computer glitches and crashes until I realized, (after watching him go thru the exact same analytical steps I'd already performed with no success) that I needed to rely on my own acquired knowledge & not always defer to others. Sometimes you just have to trust yourself! Love your channel and all content.
Love your work Pete. Generous and encouraging as always.
Keep 'em coming.
Mercy me, what a deep subject. That's a large complex subject that can really take a person to lots of different thoughts and feelings. I agree with you on what scares me the most, what will happen to my loved ones after I'm gone. I think you should be frightened of that, cause if your not, then the ones you leave behind will be the ones to suffer the most.
Now, on to a less complicated matter, those roaches are getting braver and I was surprised you didn't say, "Run, Run, Run", the classic line. As you would say, "those piggers", their cute and funny too, makes me smile when I see them run. Loved the aerials of your place. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and life experiences. Have a great weekend!
Thank you Pete. Simply, Thank you.
Your right... were living with dogmatic narrow minded folks in key positions of power abusing it on the regular. The ick that shall not be named highlights this beautifully... The world is not a kind place. Never had been.
Thanks for sharing Pete
Love seeing those healthy piglets...they seem to be happy running around..
Great video, Pete. I am a project manager, engineer, and farmer, but I listen to a plethora of different themed videos on TH-cam during my workweeks. You make some excellent points about fear. Your comment about "fear of the unknown" reminds me of a TedTalk I listened to by a gentleman named Daryl Davis. He makes the comment, "We fear those things we do not understand. If we do not keep that fear in check, that fear, in turn, will breed hatred, because we hate those things that frighten us. If we do not keep that hatred in check, that hatred, in turn, will breed destruction." I feel like that statement has become quite applicable as fears seem to increase in today's society.
I love it when you and Ezra sit and chat with us. I totally agree with you. Now I'm hungry for brownies. Blessings on you and your loved ones.
Thanks!!
My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this video. Honestly we have been having a lot of fear over health and life stuff. Your video was very calming. Thanks Pete!!
I love and appreciate videos like these. Thank you Pete for sharing you approach to life. I choose joy over fear or anger anytime personally. Laughter has always been my best medicine in life.
Thanks Pete, I love these ruminations as much as your other content. Keep them coming, it's a bright spot for me while trudging through January in upstate New York.
Or Wisconsin. Or Washington State. Or California....
Thank you! so much for this video Pete it really helps to hear A calming voice talk about topics such as this thank you.
This is what is needed today…Pete you hit the nail on the head… fear is the worst enemy imho people can experience…we do not have enough examples of how to thwart fear… especially for the youth of our nation…all we need is “just a few examples” to change this epidemic…you sir may just threw the right size stone in the pond to start the ripple effect needed
Please don’t stop making videos…you probably saved someone’s life with this one!
Thank you
Thank you Pete for your calm demeanor and wonderful logic and humor. What you speak of and how you view things in life is just like how I see and do things. I live in the country (far from the maddening crowds) and I love it that way. Yes, I too feel safe because of this. I am a nurse who has worked in a big medical center around people from all over the world. What a wonderful experience. Too many folks want instant gratification these days.
Long ago people achieved great things without all the complications.
Some where along my path I even schooled for carpentry so now I get to
work on my farm house. Keep these words of wisdom and perspectives coming because many will and are learning.
thank you! Pete for this very educating and peaceful content.
Excellent Pete! Always enjoy your perspective and truly enjoy your videos! Refreshing ~
Always appreciate your philosophies Pete, thank you!
Wow! For me, the comments below say it all. You are a good person, Mr. Pete, and know that since listening to your channel and get a bit more familiar with your personality, I too walk away from another video that was inspiring and positive. Thank You
Pete as always your AWESOME and thanks for keeping the videos going and giving so many motivation and hope…
Pete. You're a damned fine man and I appreciate you. This video resonated with me down to the atoms we call me. Thanks for this. Please never stop being a positive force. Nothing but love!
“It’s the world that’s being created now”… YES! What an eloquent way to tell all the talking heads out there to chill out. Nice job Pete!
Appreciate your views on fear, having served our country for six years, a part of which was in a combat zone, you can learn very quickly how to deal with fear, no matter which form it comes in. Fear for your life, fear for health, or whatever causes you to focus your attention on a particular matter, I've found that in most cases, most any fear can be overcome by applying just good old common sense to it. I had a lot of fear at first when I served but as time went on you can learn how to control it to the point where it's not fear anymore.
I really enjoyed your talk on finding peace. Retired and growing older I find that common sense is getting harder and harder to find. It was so good to hear some today from you. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you, Pete. Just enjoyed your video so much.
Pete-Thank you for this video!
Very good look at the things that are going on in the world,good job.
Wisdom of a farmer. God Bless, Daryl
Thank you for the video and the positive message.
Very wise words and I agree completely. When you stop taking chances and making changes you are no longer living you are just a nuisance to the rest of the world. The rule I live by is "the only thing that never changes is everything will always change".
Hi Pete.. its FREEZING 🥶
