Emerson said, “All successful men have agreed in being causations.”They believed that things were not by luck, but by law. The law of life is the law of belief. Whatever you mentally accept and feel to be true, will come to pass. Everything begins within our own consciousness. Our consciousness is our thoughts, feelings and beliefs about ourselves, and the world around us. Belief can be considered synonymous with expectation. There’s an ancient saying that, you don’t always get what you pray for, but you’ll always get what you expect. What is a belief? A belief is just a thought that we repeatedly think and accept as true. So for better or worse, our life experience is conditioned by the stories we’re telling ourselves about ourselves and our circumstances. On today’s episode, Darrell and guest Christine Valentin share examples of how they’ve experienced being causationists and the simple ways they practice to pivot from telling the same old stories to new and improved ones.
Today’s affirmation is:
“I have the power to change my mentality and when I change it my outer expression and experiences must change too.”

Spend just a few moments watching a video on social media, and an AI algorithm assumes you like it—then starts feeding you more of the same, for better or worse. Here’s the funniest thing: our reality works exactly the same way. Artificial intelligence isn’t inventing anything new—it’s mimicking how the universe already works. Life responds mathematically and precisely to what we give our attention to. In that sense, our lives can become echo chambers. What we focus on, we get more of. So how hard is it to start a new and improved algorithm that brings you what you really want in life? It’s just as simple as it is online: choose different content. The fastest and most effective way to shift your personal algorithm is through gratitude. When you become genuinely grateful for what you already have, you begin receiving more experiences to be grateful for. Gratitude tunes you into the same frequency as the good you desire. The key is to give your attention to what you truly desire and resist the temptation to give any attention on what you do not desire—because the algorithm (or the universe) will faithfully match it. On today’s episode of Funniest Thing!, Darrell and guest Jeff Spikes share the practical ways they have each started a new and improved algorithm when life wasn’t reflecting what they wanted. Today’s affirmation:“I think a new thought, and the Universe cheerfully responds.”

It’s true, today could be your lucky day. There is no force outside of you that can determine what happens to you. But there is a very potent force inside you that sets the stage for every event you experience. Luck is not a capricious gift that whimsically falls into our lap; it is a force we activate with our thoughts, feelings, attitude, words, and actions, i.e. our faith. Real faith is acting as if your good is on its way even before you have evidence it is so. Get in the habit of giving thanks in advance, before you see the results. Faith is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it becomes, and the more power you have to bring your good into visibility. Cathy Norman encourages listeners to enjoy what appears to be good luck as they take a faithful approach to their daily activities. Today’s affirmation; “Now I stand on Holy ground, and great things happen all around.”

“He’s not happy because he’s rich, he’s rich because he’s happy!”Consciousness is money and money is just consciousness. Prosperity is the result of a faithful consciousness. And consciousness like attitude is your mental approach (your thoughts and feelings) to life. Feelings aren’t facts: they are indicators. They’re indicators of our consciousness: our present thoughts and the direction we are headed. Trusting in Good = happiness. And Happiness indicates you are in alignment with your greater good, you’re walking with God. Guests Glenn Brewster and Steven Tom Thorpe join us to share ways they delete the negatives and accentuate a happy generous attitude.

Gratitude instantly makes you a vibrational match with your divine inheritance. On today’s episode we explore the greatest discovery for all of mankind: that our consciousness creates our reality and we can work our own miracles. The title of this episode is from a book by Napoleon Hill. In it he clearly describes the three mental steps, combining thanksgiving and faith, that when practiced set off a chain reaction of miracles in our lives. Steven Tom Thorpe joins us to share how he’s experienced miracles of success by applying these three simple steps. Today’s reading is “Anticipation”.
Reading : Anticipation
Anticipation energizes me and increases my joy.
Looking forward to a special event is an energizing feeling. Tending to details and doing the preparation work focuses my attention on the love and care I feel for those whose company I will share.
Today I will pay attention to this feeling and savor it. Rather than rushing through my preparations and wishing the event could happen sooner, I slow down and feel my excitement.
I feel grateful for this energizing and enlivening process. My awareness of my joy grows as my anticipation increases. I am fully alive in each moment, focused and present. Joy is with me at every moment. I am undisturbed by disruptions in my plans, able to accommodate sudden shifts with equilibrium and calm. The joy of anticipation is my delight.
You have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and wine abound.-Psalm 4:7

By today’s definition an influencer is a person who uses their online reputation, expertise, or position to impact the actions and purchasing decisions of their audience. However, in reality you are an influencer. Like it or not, you are continuously influencing your circumstances. Everything around you reflects your attitude toward it, and acts accordingly. When you speak negatively of your affairs, you are misusing your special power of faith. Faith is defined as joyful expectancy. Having faith in God is having faith in good, in good outcomes. On this episode we delve into how psychokinesis is faith in action. Jeff Spikes highlights how optimism and faith are synonymous. Today’s reading is “Magic is Happening”.

Einstein makes it clear, “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.” Imagination is prayer and intuition is guidance. You cannot accomplish anything you cannot see yourself accomplishing. Use creatively, your imagination can change your life. What you are today and what you have in your life today, is the result of what you have imagined in the past. In biblical terms imagination is described as “spiritual vision”. Your imagination is powerful! On this episode, we will be sharing examples of how to use your imagination to achieve your goals and create the life you desire. Actor Steven Tom Thorpe highlights his experience with the use of imagination as prayer, as well as following the bread crumbs of intuition. Today’s reading is “Rejoice”.

All limitations are self-imposed. They are often disguised as the harmless-looking word “but”. New thought author Emmet Fox describes it perfectly, “Students of the teaching of Jesus Christ who would not be deceived by any of the familiar devices, constantly surrender their principles, and therefore their demonstration, to the little word “but”."Of course I know that God is the only power-but—""Of course I know that God is omnipresent- but—""Of course I know that God is love-but—""Of course I know that there is no hurry because I am in eter-nity-but—.""Of course I know that John or Mary must be the living expres-sion of God, just as I am-but—" If truth is true, there are no buts.” On this episode we discuss how to get rid of your “buts” and open yourself up to a lifetime of good health, happiness, love, success, and prosperity. Rev. Sherry Hursey motivates us to go on a but busting adventure with today’s reading, “Enthusiasm!”

We all have unlimited access to fun money-making ideas but having the confidence to follow through with the footwork requires faith. And footwork is fun work when moving forward with faith. If you’re not doing what you can’t do then you don’t know the power of faith. Rev. Chris Chenoweth drives this fact home when he said, “The first step to thinking outside the box is to stop telling yourself, “I can’t do that because I’ve never done it before.” Jesus’ entire ministry is examples of how to do what you can’t do. On this episode, Darrell and Ed share motivating real-life stories of enjoying the thrill of doing faith-fueled footwork and the improved circumstances that always follow. It’s the metaphysical meaning of “I make all things new!” And, during the second segment, Successful foot-worker Cathy Norman joins the show and motivates us to follow inspiration with faithful steps. Today’s reading is, “God says, “Now!”

It’s easy to live our lives in such a routine that we end up in a rut. A rut is a well-worn groove in the road that once a vehicle’s tires get into its hard to get out of. When this happens to our life we tend to get complacent to the point of literally running on autopilot. Symptoms include; we begin to deeply resent anything like a new idea, we don’t like change of any sort, or even a new and better way of considering familiar things. Emmet Fox gives us hope in the truth that, “Now is the day of salvation. Start right in today to handle at least one important part of your life in a new way. Break at least one rusty fetter today, and once this process begins you will be astonished to find how far you will go, and what wonderful things you will attain to.” On this episode Darrell and Ed share examples and the benefits of breaking free from running on autopilot. Special guest Summer Nichols enthusiastically motivates all of us to leave autopilot and land in life with today’s reading, “Be Different!”
