MITCH’S MINUTE:

So a number of things struck me from our conversation, but one of the biggest may have also been one of the simplest.  (Isn’t that how it often works?)  I mean… hey… I LOVE the story of Todd’s miraculous healing story and where it’s taken them since.  Plus, I love that Amanda has broken through some of her own paralysis in life to step out in faith… launch her own business… and write a book too!  So cool.  BUT one of the key things I needed to be reminded of is that we need to have a breakthrough mindset.  We need to set our mind towards breaking through.  Sure… we need to acknowledge it’s going to be tough… and maybe even scary at times… BUT if we set our minds towards breakthrough… there’s a MUCH greater chance we will in fact experience that breakthrough!  And THAT is the epitome of dreaming BIGGER, thinking BETTER and doing MORE of what you were put on the planet to do!  Right?  So that’s what I needed to hear.  How about you?  Comment below and let me know.  What struck you… and what stuck with you?  A story?  A strategy?  A thought?  Post and let me know!
