@cjsdns, your reflection on the passage of time and the urgency of pursuing dreams truly resonated with me! The sentiment of embracing July like a new year, coupled with the pressing need to act on aspirations, is powerfully conveyed. Your mother's wisdom about working diligently and contributing meaningfully adds a beautiful layer of depth to your post.

The honesty about the challenges in the land market and the need to unlock capital really strikes a chord. It's inspiring to see your determination to create opportunities and make the most of the time you have.

I especially appreciate the closing thought – approaching July 1st with the mindset of a fresh start. It’s a great reminder for all of us. Wishing you success in your endeavors and sending positive vibes for a fruitful July! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, @cjsdns!
