“I stopped watching the news, so sick of the bias. Was searching for an alternative that would just tell me WHAT happened, with NO editorializing. I found it. It’s called 1440. It assumes you are smart enough to form your own opinions.”

A strong frame holds everything together, whether it’s a house or a life.

Watching a house go up, starting from an empty lot, is impressive.

It all starts with the frame.

Without strong beams and supports, nothing would stay up.

Framing isn’t an easy job.

Framers have to be careful and brave, like when they’re balancing on a narrow board high off the ground.

The frame is the backbone of the house, and without it, everything would fall apart.

Just like a house, we all need something strong to lean on when things get tough.

When life throws you a curveball, it’s that inner structure - your values, habits, and relationships - that holds you steady.

Framers know that planning is key.

You can’t start nailing boards together and hope for the best.

In the same way, having a plan for your life, even if it’s not perfect, keeps things on track.

Sometimes, things don’t go as planned, like a beam that doesn’t fit right.

But a good framer adjusts and finds a way to make it work, just like we do when life takes an unexpected turn.

And like framers need tools, we need the right attitude, sense of humor, and support of others to build a life that stands strong even in the midst of a storm.

Closing Thoughts

If something in your life feels a off, take a step back and see where you might need to make an change.

Don’t be afraid to get in there, measure twice, and make sure your foundation is solid.
