Hey everyone, welcome to Episode 249. I am recording this episode on April 10th.

So it is two days before Easter. It is good Friday. And I'm fasting today.

We in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fast once a month as a religious practice.

We do it as a way to connect with our Heavenly Father and to make a sacrifice and to ask Him to bless us in certain ways.

And so we are all fasting today on April 10th or those who chose to participate I should say because our prophet, President Nelson, asked us to collectively fast.

It's actually the second time we've done it. And there's a lot of people who aren't members of our church who are participating in the fast as well.

As a worldwide outreach to our Heavenly Father to ask Him to bless those who are working to combat the effects of the coronavirus and to bless those who are suffering at the effects of it and to bless our world with relief from it as soon as is God's will.

Well, so right now I'm feeling a lot of different things. I'm feeling a lot of physical sensations, a little bit of a headache, I won't lie.

I'm at the tail end of my fast right now. So we fast per two meals within 24 hours. So I'm coming up on 24 hours of fasting and my body doesn't love that.

But I also am feeling so many emotions, a mix of emotions. I feel sort of distracted because my brain keeps going, we should eat something. We need food. We should go get a drink.

But I also feel a lot of other really amazing, powerful things. I feel sort of a reverence. I think is the best way to describe it. I feel a quiet sadness in a morning for all of those who are suffering right now in the world because I know we have.

There's always suffering in the world, but I'm thinking about the suffering right now. And I think we have an added measure of it.

And I'm also feeling oddly peaceful and grateful. And just full of love is the best way I can describe it. I feel so much love for the people in my life, for my family, and my close friends. I feel so much love for my neighbors.

And I feel closer to everyone in an odd way because we don't get to see each other right now. We're more disconnected, but I feel closer. I'm thinking about everyone and I'm thinking about just how amazing this world is and how grateful I am for my life.

And just for nature, for the sun that's shining today, for the laughter that my kids still have every day, just feeling grateful for things right now.

So anyway, that's where my head is at. Hopefully I can focus and deliver this message that I want to give to you today.

We're going to talk about the difference between circumstances and results.

Okay, so those of you that have been listening to me for a while or are in my coaching program, you know that we have a self coaching model we use starts with the circumstance and it ends with the result.
