If the weather and your circumstances have to be perfect for you to be happy, you will always be vulnerable. Let's adapt Mr. Rogers' motto: "What's essential is invisible to the eye."

I'm going to be devoting some podcasts to a simple thought or principle. I plan to take one idea from history like Zig Ziglar's story of the pump, or how his neighbor lady's biscuits got cooked in the squat, or the story of Jim Carrey writing himself a check for $10 million - dating it for 5 years later - and seeing it come true within that 5 year period, having starred in Ace Ventura. Jack Canfield's story about attending a Come as You'll Be party and how that set in motion the things he was able to accomplish.

It's a beautiful day in paradise……

I was blown away at the number of you who committed to 30 days of listening to The Strangest Secret. These responses are so inspiring and encouraging to anyone wanting a fresh start. New habits are easy to do - and easy to avoid. You get to choose.

Here are some of the comments from those of you who wrote your stories:

Questions:

1. Even though people consider me a happy person, I had grown accustomed and actually comfortable with negative thoughts and was reaping the fruit of those negative thoughts.

2. The more I listened to The Secret the more I realized I had the power to change my life.

3. Negative thoughts discouraged me and made me more timid. Scarcity caused me to believe only a full-time job at an employer with benefits was the way to go.

4. I have a small garden in my backyard and in one section I planted sunflower seeds. Guess what grew? Sunflowers!

5. I had been in a bit of a "rut" for the last year, kind of wishing and hoping things were different or better, but unfortunately not really doing much about it. Just continuing on.

6. I think Proverbs 4:23 says it best advising us to guard our heart (mind) above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

Without moving into areas where you've never been before - areas that cause some fear and anxiety - you can never have anything other than what you already have - what you've already experienced. So if you want something other than exactly what you have now, you have to be willing to look into that cave - and go ahead and step inside.

Episode #845 August 26, 2022

Hi this is Dan Miller - and yes you're listening to the 48 Days Radio show - where each week we take 48 minutes

Questions:

1. I feel a sinking depression in the pit of my belly and in my heart just thinking about going to work tomorrow morning.

2. I have a growing sense that preaching is not my passion.

3. My problem is I don't know what I really want to do.

4. I can do this for myself and make much more money, but there are always big risks.

5. Can I make the business I work in my own without it feeling like a betrayal?

So my questions for you today are:

1. What 'cave' are you peering into right now - seeing nothing but darkness but confident there's something wonderful inside?

2. What other individuals or resources do you need to urge you into the cave?

3. What examples do you have from your past that are giving you the courage to attempt this?

Having mentors opened the door for me to move from a clear path toward poverty to the life I get to enjoy today. Your direction is not based on luck, family tradition, the economy or the company - unless you allow it to be. You can choose mentors that will guide you to any success you want if you follow these 5 steps.
