Summary
Every Monday moving forward, join me for a quick burst of inspiration during Monday Moments. Each week, I'll cover a different topic that will spark you to live more inspired.
Today, I share a story submitted by Mike F. of Alton, Illinois, one of our Live Inspired community members. Mike has done something truly amazing by applying the Live Inspired 7 – the questions we ask every guest at the end of our Live Inspired Podcast episodes – to his own life... You'll love the result.
Ask your loved ones the Live Inspired 7:
- What is the best book you've ever read?
- Tomorrow you discover your wealthy uncle shockingly dies at the age of 103; leaving you millions. What would you do?
- Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be?
- You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be?
- What is the best advice you've ever received?
- Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20?
- It's been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read?

| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends, and welcome to this week's Monday Moments. Now, last week I welcomed back to the |
| 0:10.4 | Live Inspired podcast, our guest, Dennis Gillen. He's the first one ever to join us for the Monday |
| 0:15.6 | moments. It was a powerful, powerful episode. If you haven't already, listen to episode 127 now as Dennis and I |
| 0:24.5 | cast light on suicide awareness and suicide prevention. I'll link to the episode in the show |
| 0:30.3 | notes. It's a topic too seldom discussed and too prevalent in our community to ignore. |
| 0:37.3 | Dennis has a beautiful and painful perspective on this topic |
| 0:41.4 | because it grew out of the loss of two brothers |
| 0:44.1 | who died by suicide. |
| 0:47.1 | My friends, check out this life-giving conversation. |
| 0:50.1 | It's at episode 127, the first ever Monday moments. |
| 0:54.3 | Well, today, I'm excited to introduce you to the live-inspired community member and a podcast listener. |

| 1:04.3 | Mike sent me the following email, and it moved me and it moved our team so much that we wanted to share the entire email with you right now. |
| 1:12.1 | Mike has done something truly amazing. He applied the live-inspired seven questions. Those were |
| 1:19.3 | the seven questions we ask every guest at the end of our live-inspired podcast, but he asked |
| 1:24.9 | someone that he knew, someone from his own life, someone that he loves |
| 1:28.4 | dearly and someone that he had never asked questions like this to before. With his permission, |
| 1:34.8 | I wanted to share with you Mike's story, Mike's email, what it meant to him and what it means |
| 1:39.9 | for the rest of us. Here we go. Here's the email. John, I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart. |
| 1:47.6 | I've read your book. I've listened to you speak. I get your emails and now I follow you on Facebook. |
| 1:53.4 | My wife and my three kids listen also to your podcast. My two oldest boys love listening and have |
| 2:00.0 | become very generous, very kind, and very sympathetic as a result. |
