I can accomplish lots more and claiming that there’s not enough time is baloney.

I wish Kirk would have shared more about how he did so much in a day.

God rest your soul, CK.

Charlie said he read ~100 books a year on a video I watched the other day.

A full book every 3.5 days.

Well. That it is even worse for me. And likely many of us.

Strive to do better is one way we can honor the man.

And get involved in TPUSA. Tomorrow.

We all need to spend much less time on social media, and spend our time productively. Studying to make ourselves more knowledgeable about issues, to be able to have an answer when the time comes where we are confronted by people with a different perspective than ours. And I am talking about myself in this context as much as anyone.

He spent a lot of time flying. I bet he took that time to absorb knowledge between stops. He also made it a point to do nothing on Saturdays to spend time with his family and decompress. He would literally shut off the outside world and turn his devices off. I'd imagine some of that time spent studying/reading.

I’ll check back in on Friday. A break is wise.

I know exactly what you mean.

And, gives me more time to read and more range time.

He has a new book coming out called "Stop in the Name of GOD" that is going to help so many of us with that question of time and energy.

People like Charlie and Elon were on a different level. Both had similar stories of hardly sleeping and believed within themselves failure was not an option. Charlie believed in God from an early age and never wavered from his faith. Hell I grew a Christian but was or never will be like Charlie Kirk. He will be missed but Erica knows and will keep TPUSA rolling.

That’s what I’m screaming. Hit some for me.

Or are you talking about a different range, lol?

He was like Trump genetically. He was a freak. Not everyone can survive for a decade on 5 hours of sleep every night and 320 days a year of travel and still function, and that's ok. He also had a near photographic memory where he could absorb an insane amount of material quickly.

If there's one big takeaway from this is that every person has a destiny in life, we need more Charlie Kirks, but we also need millions to keep the country running and repopulate with sound well-raised children.

Putting holes in targets with my small frame .40.

I believe in wider holes and bigger noise.

Some people have it.

Some don’t.
And I try too, but he was using his gift of organization among many things.

I got an email from TPUSA after I bought a shirt saying that with the huge volume of orders not to expect my order for 12 weeks. You know they’ve been inundated with orders and donations like never before.

He has said in several interviews that he would get 9 hours of sleep a night. He was a huge believer in sleep.

I bought a 350 legend a couple of years ago for primitive weapons hunting. That’s all I hunt with now. I love the rifle.

As a 43 yr old sitting here with my back killing me, I think Charlie would tell us...

Don't drink, smoke, eat well...I e. Treat your body like a temple etc. have goals

I've failed miserably
