The Power of Me Today (formerly Inspire and Tire)

All of us have suffered a loss in our lives.  And all of us have heard the words "I am sorry for your loss" - but what do people mean when these words are whispered to us.  I have a thought on this that I hope will give you comfort.

Hello sweet one.  Are you feeling down because you sense you have failed at something?  

If so, do not allow it to hurt your your soul but rather celebrate in it for what you deem as a failure is in reality a stumble that allows you to gain the information you need to become a success.  

Everyone who is successful today knows this to be true from such greats as Steven Spielberg  to Walt Disney to J.K. Rowling to even Jerry Seinfeld.  

In fact, I remember personally when Jerry was considered a failure in comedy for you see it was open mic night in Westport and I had planned to make my debut as a comedian.  Jerry went on before me.  He was nervous and had toilet paper attached to his shoe.  His material was horrible - so bad in fact that it made the audience hostile.  I was to go next but decided to forfeit my turn as I didn't want to perform in front of an angry crowd or worse have them be angry at me.  Instead of me venturing out and trying to spread my wings I moved on - a regret I still have to this day.  Jerry on the other hand used his performance to learn from and to continue to fail until finally he had gathered enough knowledge to know how to be successful.  And that is what life is about - having the courage and fortitude to keep trying at your passions until you find the key that opens up success.

If you are listening to this episode on February 14th I want to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day! And if you are listening on any other day I still wish you love and happiness all of your days. May each day be happier than the day before and may you always know what a blessing you are to this world.

You know, every day brings us a mix of beautiful and amazing wonders on the one hand and unpleasantries and seemingly unsurmountable struggles on the other. As hard as the struggles may seem at the time , no one can expect life to be void of struggles as that is not realistic and expectations of such will only cause you pain and frustration. None of us is a stranger to suffering – be it mental, physical or spiritual.

I myself have suffered loss in my family, loss in my employment and with so much more in recent days piling up on the negative side of the spectrum it gave me pause to lose faith that there will be good days ahead. But no matter how tall this negative pile becomes I have to remember that the negative mountain cannot stop something positive from happening if I actively open the window and allow hope to shine in.

No matter how tall the mountain, it cannot block out the sun because the sun of hope and positivity is always higher than the mountain of hardship and the sun will fill you with warmth if you have the fortitude to continue climbing that mountain.

I hope you enjoy this episode which is being sponsored by Podcorn.com   Explore sponsorship opportunities and start monetizing your podcast by signing up here: https://podcorn.com/podcasters/  More details about my sponsor can be found during the episode.

And before I go I want to remind you that I have a mistake in this and the following two episodes - did you find it?  Want a hint?  If not - don't look further as I am about to reveal it.  The story I read is about the Pit and the Pendulum and thus is so named and yet somehow when I read it to you I mistakenly said the Pen and the Pendulum - which of course makes no sense.  Luckily one of my listeners alerted me to the mistake and I am thankful to her.  Once I discover how to edit this episode and the next without losing everything I will but in the meantime I hope it didn't throw you off too much :)

We all keep a checklist of things we need to get done.  On paper we might have our grocery list. On our cell phones we might track our daily health.  On our computer we might make note of appointments.  Mentally we have our bucket list. Why we even have a checklist to remind us to have some fun time with others or just by ourselves.  And while checklists are an important way to ensure we don’t forget any crucial dates or steps in a timely way, they have come to rule us.  Free yourself from checklists - free yourself for a happier day . . . a happier life!

Hello sweet one.  Life is a continual opportunity to learn and perfect your own happiness and compassion toward others.  Sometimes these lessons originate from obvious sources and sometimes we are blessed to learn from others not so obvious.  How we act and interact with all living things around us is paramount to reaching the next level in inner peace and fulfillment.  

I do hope you enjoy today's episode.

Hello sweet one. I hope you had a special day today as all days should be special.

And sweet one, today I want to talk to you about the power of words.   We know through our own lives how words have such a powerful force on us that they can distort our sense of reality.  After all reality is what we perceive it to be and if our soul, our heart, our being is under continual attack by the negative of the world it can forever deconstruct us to a lesser version of ourselves in this new reality arena.

Of and sweet one I have something else to share.  Today I am announcing a new sponsor for the show. Shape and Foster takes members on a journey of lifestyle development, providing knowledge and actionable insight via six amazing professionals in mental health, fitness, nutrition, finance, life coaching and yoga.   And, they wanted to give you a special link to save money on their services https://www.shapeandfoster.com/plans/115350?bundle_token=c432672daa73853421b8e20cde0d8e5f&utm_source=manual

Hello sweet one.  Letting go sometimes seems impossible.  It takes great courage to move forward with something from your past – regardless if you viewed it as something positive or something negative. In part because we are all a collection of our past experiences, memories actions and inactions. At times we wish we can reverse time to re-live or better an experience from our past that we believe will have an impact on our future. But in reality sweet one everyone happens exactly as it is supposed to. And so you must embrace the courage needed to accept what is and let go of what was. Have faith that tomorrow will be a better day and know you are loved. Oh and one other thought – while you make for a better tomorrow remember that karma is the result of ones actions to others – so always remember to be kind, be understanding, be patient and be there for others for your presence – even for a second – may be a blessing in their life. And now sweet one before I tell you my story I want to thank my two newest supporters – one whose name is Joey and the other who wanted to remain anonymous. 

And if you wanted to support me as well just go to https://anchor.fm/bedtimestoriesforadults/support

Your support of 99 cents a month or 4.99 or even 9.99 may not seem like much to you but for me it is an act of kindness and support I will always remember.

And now sweet one close your eyes as it is time for me to tell you a story - this one is an old Italian folktale called The Ass that lays money and it directly talks about karma. I do hope you like it.

Hello sweet one.

I want to thank you for being with me each night as I tell a story.  I know 2020 has been incredibly hard on you in so many ways but now it is 2021 and although I cannot promise you life will be any easier I can promise you that I will be there with emotional support through my podcast to help give you the boost you need to stay on track for making all your dreams possible.

And before you listen to the story I want to do a shout out to Dave for being my newest supporter.  Dave pledged $4.99 a month - the price of a coffee a month but he didnt have to.  He could have picked the 99 cent a month category or the 9.99 a month category.  All three categories, although they may seem like a small amount to you actually add up for me.  And so I ask if you can go to the support section I would love if you can find a way to support this podcast in any way you can.  Donating will allow me to say you name on the air and if you have a special message you would like me to share please let me know that in the recorded section.  Thank you.  And now sweet one is the story.
