Tune your satellite dish into the All Things Are Possible Network. It’s so easy to get off track with your day. You wake up and immediately get bombarded with social media, news, and responsibilities. If you don’t get your mind right, you might be absorbing negativity and passing it on to everyone you interact with that day. I know there have been times where I’ve bought something at a convenience store and let my bad day affect the way I’ve treated a cashier. So, how can we make a positive impact on the world instead of “spreading bad seeds?” For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Tim Storey where he shared how he is able to “shift his satellite dish” so that it’s picking up good channels instead of bad ones.

This is 5-Minute Friday! Thank you so much for joining me today. We've got an incredible guest on. His name is Tim Story. And for the past 10 years, Tim has served as an advisor to leaders and celebrities from all around the world. He's helped celebrities like Robert Downey Jr.,

Kanye West, Christian Slater, and so much more. He is a self-help author, motivational speaker, pastor, entrepreneur, and founder of Tim Story Kids Foundation. The number one thing is education. When you become educated about something, then it begins to dissipate fear. For instance, people who are afraid of flying, I will talk to them many times, even on airplanes. I'll say, okay, let me help you with something. airplanes and I'll say okay let me help you with something right you can get in an accident so much quicker and it's so much more common by driving a car yeah by walking in the street because it's not common that a big airplane is going down so when you educate yourself on a subject that you are fearful it helps to dissipate the fear right to say it in a

tim story rhyming way when you feed your faith with education you starve your fears or doubt so you got to feed your faith and starve your doubt i think that meditation is simply what we're talking about and that's stopping and it's shifting your satellite dish. So, you know, back in the day, you would have these big satellite dishes and we could go to somebody's house like in the late 80s and they'd be like, watch this. I flip my TV here and I get Canadian football. I go over here. I get the Minnesota Vikings. Right, right. Okay?

So wherever you shift your satellite dishes, that's what you pick up. So again, if you're shifting it on my kid smoking weed and he's ticking me off. Or I'm shifting it on I'm 42 pounds overweight. And that's what you're always thinking about. That's what you're going to pull in. Okay? All of the secret. Okay? The way you way you see it yeah it comes closer to you same thing with meditation if i shift my satellite dish to a place of peace that's what's going to come towards me

so from a biblical standpoint to me i shift my satellite dish to the all things are possible network. I meditate on the things of God. I meditate on biblical scriptures. I did it today. As soon as I woke up for 20 minutes, I meditated on Psalms 23 because that's what I'm into. And it put me in a really cool place. Because I speak for a living okay 73 countries I speak around the world I'm on stage there is a buzz to being on stage mostly

the crowd's super big they're energetic yes it's. It's a high. So I used to wake up as happy as I am, kind of down, like, oh, man. Man, why do I feel so tired? But it could have been a phenomenal night. So one of the things that I do that I cannot get around is I get up and I either walk or run every single morning of my life. I don't care how I feel. I got to do it. First thing you do? I did it this morning.

Wow. First thing I did is I meditated. Yes. So I'm feeding my spirit. Second thing I did, I went to the park that's not far from my house. I walk, run, or I'm a basketball player. So I go to the gym. I shoot baskets two to three times a week.

We got to play some pickups soon. Let's do it. We still got it. We still got it. So, I mean, I'm 55 years of age and I'm still hustling, running. That's great. So I have to do that

to stay in the zone to be balanced. So the meditation, the exercise, and then here's another thing. Every day, me and you have a bag of seeds. I'm going to sprinkle either good seeds or bad seeds.

An attitude, bad seeds. A grouchy little way about me, bad seed. Every day, I plant good seeds everywhere. On purpose. No matter my mood. Whether I walk in 7-Eleven, tell people great things about themselves. Motivating people.

Calling my mother. Calling people that they don't think I'm going to call them. Every day, I try to empty out my bag of cigarettes.
