Episode #598 February 09, 2018 – 

Everything in life is about perspective — how you look at it. We must be creative in our thinking as we explore what we do for ministry. When you have work that blends your passions and your talents, that is your ministry.

Hi this is Dan Miller – and yes you’re listening to the 48 Days Radio show – where each week we take 48 minutes to dive into real life questions about finding your passion, deciding what kind of life you want to live – and then finding or creating work that allows you to show up every day, excited to be able to do something that is meaningful, fulfilling – and profitable.  This is where normal, indecision and ambiguity come to die.  Welcome to the 48 Days Radio Show.

•  Heidi thinks I’ve been too harsh with Jeremy – the guy who says he’s lazy.  She suggest Gretchin Rubin’s quiz for knowing how much structure we need.

•  The Worst Day Ever – this is the poem written by 17-yr old Chanie Gorkin.  Read it through and it sounds like a whiny complainer.  Now read it from bottom to top.  We can choose our perspective.

Worst Day Ever?

Today was the absolute worst day everAnd don’t try to convince me thatThere’s something good in every dayBecause, when you take a closer look,The world is a pretty evil place.Even ifSome goodness does shine through once in a whileSatisfaction and happiness don’t last.And it’s not true thatIt’s all in the mind and heartBecauseTrue happiness can be attained Only if one’s surroundings are goodIt’s not true that good existsI’m sure that you can agree thatThe realityCreatesMy attitudeIt’s all beyond my controlAnd you’ll never in a million years hear me sayToday was a very good day

•  Matt asks – “Could you explain your belief that missionaries should not seek financial support for their ministry work and instead try to provide for themselves while they do ministry?”

I think we all need to rethink the question, What is ministry work? I believe when you have work that blends your passions and your talents, that is your ministry.
