Welcome to enjoying everyday life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program Joyce will be teaching from her series, What About Me?

It's natural to wake up with our thoughts focused on ourselves, but if we're

constantly wrapped up in only what we want, what we think, and how we feel, we'll

never be happy. True joy comes from living with a mindset focused on other people.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Many many, many years ago, I was laying in bed one morning and I wasn't even fully awake yet and I was thinking about how I could get Dave to not do what he wanted to do that day and do what I wanted.

You know, how I could maybe get the kids to do the housework so I could just kind of chill and you know

have fun and it was like I was just thinking about myself just

laying there in bed thinking about myself and you know that's a dangerous way to start

your day because however you get started that's usually the way things go the rest of the day.

And you're much better off to lay in bed and purpose you think,

God, what can I do for somebody else today?

How can I be a greater blessing to my family?

How can I, God, how can I be a better wife today?

The last time I asked God that he told me to cook Dave's breakfast. I haven't asked that in a while.

Because I'm not into too much cooking and poor guy about feigned when I said I'm not into too much cooking and poor guy about fainted when I said I'm going to cook your breakfast.

You got to be ready when you ask God that kind of stuff. But it's been life changing for me. The principles that I'm sharing with you tonight really has been one of the key elements in my life that have gotten me from where I was to where I am. So I'm laying there thinking about myself and I kind of had like this little vision and the Holy Ghost began to deal with me in my heart and he said, you know, the enemy comes and starts putting thoughts in your head real early in the morning and it's like

he's getting you wound up for the day. He said you remind me of this little robot.

The devil comes and he's like what about me

what about me what about me and what about me and what about me and then you put your feet on the floor and this is the way you look to me the rest of the day what about me what about me what about me what

about me what about me what about me? What about me? Beep, what about me? What about me?
