Ep226. Remember That Someone Is Praying for What You Already Have (with Mike and Angie).
Manage episode 521433660 series 2968181
In this episode, Mike and Angie record from a cramped, steep, narrow spiral staircase inside a 1920s Baltimore row house. It's weird, it's cozy, and it's perfect for this annual Thanksgiving episode. Together, they reflect on the beauty of imperfection, the power of gratitude, and the truth that sometimes the life you're living — even with its messiness — is the one someone else is praying for.
Key Takeaways
- Gratitude Doesn’t Need to Be Pretty
It just needs to be felt. Even in awkward spaces, there’s always something to be thankful for. - Your Actual Wealth Isn’t Financial
Your family, friendships, pets, and peace are your inner wealth — and they matter more than your numbers. - Dissatisfaction Kills Joy
The more you focus on what’s missing, the more you block the joy already present. - You’re Probably Living Someone Else’s Dream
Your ordinary might be someone else’s miracle — honor it. - Gratitude Is a Frequency You Can Return To
You don’t have to hustle for more from lack. You can open to more from fullness.
