Hello Reader,
I am basically in end of the year mode. There are still almost two full months left on the calendar and I am not taking my foot off the gas, but at the same time, I am beginning to consider what 2026 is going to be like. There were a lot of things that we did well this year as a business. I am excited to build on my progress, that said, and as you know, the last couple months have been a challenge so I am also considering how I can make this experience more sustainable for me as the person doing the leg work.
Enrepenurealism is hard and frankly I am over all of my gesticulations. Between the different the ventures that I have pre-occupying my time... I don't know, I just feel like I unjustly fell into this situation. I didn't want to do this. I didn't want to be the person I am or am becoming. Maybe I'll develop more resentment as life goes on because frankly there is plenty of blame to go around as to how I ended up here.
I'm not happy being an entrepreneur. I don't enjoy being a whore for profits. It's unfulfilling. Whoring around for profits may not be why a person gets into business but it's certainly one of the reasons why a person stays in business, or at least tries to. Basically I do this for you. Life with Ken has served it's purpose for me at least two years ago now. All I wanted to be able to do was get my voice out there. I've done that. I'm a published author. frankly I don't have to publish anything else ever again.
I haven't stopped doing Life with Ken for a few reasons. When I seek the Lord in prayer I don't feel as though he has explicitly told me to stop even though when I pray I say "Lord I don't want to do this anymore." Additionally, this platform has always been a beacon of hope for me that maybe one day I can live a more fulfilling life. But, I get frustrated because I want to do so much more and I don't have the means to do so. It's a miracle that I can just manage to maybe release a newsletter every week. One of the things I'll be discussing for this year's year end review is how we can seek out funding. Scaling up would make a lot of things easier.
Anyway...
What I really wanted to talk about which may be somewhat related is how I am fed up with the American political system. As an American I feel as though it's my responsibility to stay informed with what is happening in my country. That being said I get frustrated because as a country I'm not hopeful about our future. Our politics are unserious. Everyone, democrats and republicans are all part of the same club and us, the citizens, aren't in it. Then you have people who are just ignorant to what is happening. For example, the hardcore base and radical left of the democrat party right now wants Schumer to keep the pressure on the republicans and keep the government closed. There are normies, people who don't pay attention to politics except for presidential elections, who think that the government shutdown is the republicans fault. The republicans have bought the CR to the senate floor for a vote 15 times. The dems voted it down each time because it's benefiting them politically as was particularly evident this past Tuesday.
It's annoying to me that republicans aren't better politicians. This is a relatively easy issue. The obamacare subsidies that the dems are concerned about are covid era subsides that are supposed to expire. Healthcare prices keep going up because the healthcare system in America sucks. I have doctor's appointment this week that I am paying for out of pocket. If you benefited from the covid checks, eviction moratorium, child tax credit (which brought American children out of poverty), covid government grants, the additional unemployment assistance, or what have you, and now all those programs are gone; how does it makes sense to fight for this zombie covid program that only benefits a wealthy 7% of people? The democrats are playing in your face and there are stupid mfers happily eating the shit politicians are serving them. Like you've got to be kidding me. The electorate inspires no hope in me.
I get upset because of how we deal with issues like these as a country. We have a budget argument every year which i've been covering for some time now, we vote out geriatric genocide Joe and avoid the hell that would have been Kamala Harris, just so Trump can bend over backwards and take Netanyahu deep in his butt hole. And even if you can get past that, the republicans are losing on domestic issues. How do you galvanize the coalition they did in 2024 just to squander that power by not releasing the Epstein files, not jamming multiple bills through the legislature, not reforming healthcare so we could have avoided this moment, and not stumping and selling their accomplishments all over the 50 states?
Republicans have complete control of government but don't have a vision or meaningful results for the country. What would republicans say if they had to sell their record? They've gotten some stuff done but people are upset over Epstein because why are we protecting pedophiles? People are upset over tariffs regardless of how you feel about them, oh and by the way they may not even be constitutional. People are mad Trump is continuing Biden's genocide in Gaza. Trump is supposed to bring back jobs to America, instead we're hemoraging jobs. Apparently beef costs an arm, a leg, and an eyeball. I don't know how you fumble like this. Wait, yes I do, by being more interested in what's going on in Venezuela or the middle east. By pretending to be a statesman and begging for the Nobel Peace Prize. And by sicking the united States military on American citizens.
All of this bullshit is low IQ. At the end of the day we are just on a pendulum. Obama sucked the hope out of the country. Trump is becoming filthy stinking rich in office and using your tax dollars to pay for a ballroom and Great Gatsby Halloween party. These people don't care about America. When Gavin Newsom announces his run for president and stupid white liberals think he looks attractive, but they won't dig into his policies of how he killed universal healthcare in California, or how he was in a wine cave while the rest of Californians were struggling during covid. Or how the homeless problem in California is apparently unsolvable and the money put to the issue doesn't go to that purpose. All I am saying as someone who found his voice through politics, is it's unfortunate how unserious politics are and I would like to not care as much. The worse case scenario is the anti-christ becomes president. Newsflash, that's the plan. Read Revelation 13 in the Bible, or better yet, just ask Peter Thiel, one of JD Vance's funders, who also has been going on an anti-christ tour this year. You can't make this crap up. Politicians and billionares are betting that Americans are stupid and they are winning that bet.
Encouragement for your Week
This week I want to encourage you to overcome. The Bible says that we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. Let's break it down. A testimony is a formal and or legal statement. The blood of the lamb refers to Jesus, his death, burial, and resurrection, and the power of the impact of his life. If you're not christian consider the spiritual component of this concept to reflect the role God or the universe plays in your life. To overcome make a formal statement relevant to your relationship with God. More often than not this looks like prayer or some sort of confession. When I say I'm tired of doing Life with Ken and adjacent business stuff or that I'm over politics, if I do so earnestly, the idea behind this principle is that my honest confession moves God to move on my behalf. You may not have had your breakthrough yet because you haven't taken the time to tell God not just what's on your heart and mind, but the truth.
Thank you for being part of the Life with Ken Newsletter I hope our content and similar resources continue to edify you. To keep up with us throughout the week be sure to follow us on social media.
If you're interested, I've been on a book/Life with Ken tour since September of this year. I am excited that "Get Your Mind Right" will be one year old next week. I'm still taken aback by how this book is circulating throughout the world. Maybe I'll do something next week special to celebrate. I'm working on the audiobook and paperback. I wanted to have the audiobook come out around this time but I couldn't get that to happen, so we'll see. Regardless, here is a link to my most recent guest appearance on the KAJ Masterclass Podcast. Ajay and I have an invigorating and dynamic conversation on mindset, personal and professional development, confidence and manifestation!
You can also support Get Your Mind Right by getting a copy of the book here. For whatever it's worth it's climbing up in the charts.
Have a fulfilling week!
