It’s hard to keep going when it feels pointless, but that’s often the tipping point.

Keep going brothers.

A perspective shift can change your life, without changing anything in your life.

Look for the solutions instead of the problems….. you will find what you look for.

Heard a quote today…..

“What happened to you was up to them.

What happens next is up to you”

Are you going to be a victim or take control?

Is the fire going to destroy you or forge you?

Iv made the wrong choice many times, but I know the right one now.

The strongest steel is forged in the fire of the dumpster.

Sometimes we just need to push the ego aside and admit we can’t do it alone.

🏀A community leader at Mount Isa's Yallambee Indigenous reserve is advocating for state government funding to upgrade it's sporting facility.

👉Yallambee leader Grant Nemo said the community's bitument basketball courts at the reserve have not been upgraded in about 30 years, and the outdated infrastructure poses injury risks.

The courts are the only recreational space available for the reserve's young people.

💬Mr Nemo said having a safe space children to play is important for community.

"It is rough, a lot of kids get hurt," he said.

"It would make us proud of our basketball court, and even to have competition down here, that would be good."

🏘 The State Government Department of Housing spokesperson said the department will give further consideration to the facility upgrades.💬

For the past 18 months, a group of Mount Isa men have been meeting every second Wednesday night, creating a space to talk about life’s challenges and wins.

The Mount Isa men’s circle is an informal support group run 🗣️ through The Outback Mind Foundation.

Local facilitator Dan Jacobs, who volunteers after experiencing his own mental health struggles, said joining the circle was “the best thing that ever happened.”

Mr Jacobs said there are no clinicians involved in the group.

“Very laid back... somewhere to turn up and drop the mask that we have to wear through the rest of our lives,” he said.

He said the circle welcomes men of all ages and backgrounds, and there’s no pressure to speak if you’d prefer to just listen.

📍 Where: Mount Isa Rugby Union fields, off Alma St
🕡 When: 6:30pm tonight (March 4) and every second Wednesday
