If you're willing, I'd like to ask you Creek Stewart, what is the BIGGEST RISK?
Creek Stewart
That's a great question, and I think most people would probably expect me to say that it's being lost in the woods or being struck by a natural disaster. But I guess I'm going to get real personal on this one I me personally being a wilderness survival instructor and a preparedness consultant. I see all of the bad things and think about all of the bad things and think about all the scenarios, right? And it's really easy for me to get caught up, just too much in all of the things of this world. And so I think my biggest risk is thinking that they, that they, I don't know, giving, giving them too much value, versus the things that are eternal, right? The things that last forever our life and these little natural disasters that happen, even though I'm in this business and even though I sell books on the subjects, they're just little tiny blips in this lifetime of eternity. And so for me personally, it would be to consume myself with the thoughts of the temporary things versus the eternal things. And I'm going to quote scripture on you. I always, I always think about this verse from Colossians, you know, set your mind on the things above and not on the things of this earth. And so my strategy for navigating that is to take time each day and try to spend time in solitude and prayer and reading scripture, and, you know, try to dig in a little bit deeper to the eternal side of things, so that I just don't focus so much on the negativity and the temporary.
