Contempt and Apathy You have no doubt heard it said that familiarity breeds contempt. In much the same way, I believe abundance breeds apathy. Recently, here in North America, there was a solar eclipse that was visible to a large segment of the population. Many people took time off work or school and traveled great distances to observe this celestial phenomenon for a few brief moments.

While I certainly understand and applaud people’s desire and efforts to experience the eclipse, I wonder what would happen if we lived in a world where a sunset could only be viewed once a decade. We would look on this nightly miraculous light show in a much different way. As a blind person myself, one of the sights I miss is the sunset. As my eyesight faded I wrote a song, titled Sunset, that sealed that visual experience in my mind. I played my Sunset song on one of singer/songwriter, Kelly Morrison’s albums, and if you would like to hear it, here is the link: https://soundcloud.com/kellymorrison/sunset.

Those who have heard me speak, read my books, watched the movies based upon them, or consumed these weekly columns are familiar with the Golden List. The Golden List is a lifelong habit I received as a legacy from my grandmother. It is simply the process of daily listing ten things for which we are thankful. The mere act of regular gratitude eliminates apathy just as light removes shadows and darkness.

I have long believed that we change our lives when we change our minds. As you create a better world for yourself in the future, don’t forget to be grateful for the world you live in now as you mindfully experience every bit of it.

Are We There Yet?: My Journey from a Messed Up to Meaningful Life

Comedic and Inspirational memoir from the stand-up comic who coined the phrase “Happy Wife, Happy Life”.

In his signature style of stand-up comedy bits, Jeff Allen shares the inspirational and at times laugh-out-loud story of how God rescued him from alcoholism and despair through the book of Ecclesiastes. At times, his story is tragic and even tear-jerking—but in the end, it demonstrates that God takes a customized approach to reaching each of His children. Known as “the King of Clean Comedy,” Allen’s memoir won’t disappoint.
