How many of you spin the top when you were little?

That was my favorite game.

We had a little thread around it and kind of we throw it on the floor and watch it spin.

In fact, as kids, we used to compete and see who's going to make the top top his or her top spin faster and spin longer.

We compared the shapes and we talked about this.

And then, of course, I got older and ceased to spin tops, but I see lives spinning like a top. And I have experienced,

watched, seen lives that spins like tops. Now we compete to see whose life is going to spin faster, whose life is

going to spin longer. And we think about ways that we can make our spinning tops larger,

that we make them better. There are three facts I want to tell you about spinning tops that

actually also apply to spinning

lives. Three things. Don't forget those. For a top to spin, it has to have a big head and a thin

base. That's a scientific fact.

It can't stand up unless it's spinning.

And the third thing is it always spins around itself.

Always spins around itself.

When your life begins to spin like a top, just remember these three things, okay?

When your life begins to spin like a top, you will discover these three characteristics

taking place in your life, that you got a big head and a thin base, that you cannot stand still unless you're spinning and then you

are spinning around yourself. But you know what? As I thought about this, I thought how much

of a far cry the lives we are living today, they're spinning around from the life
