690 Feed Your Faith with Tim Storey

Tune your satellite dish into the All Things Are Possible Network. It’s so easy to get off track with your day. You wake up and immediately get bombarded with social media, news, and responsibilities. If you don’t get your mind right, you might be absorbing negativity and passing it on to everyone you interact with that day. I know there have been times where I’ve bought something at a convenience store and let my bad day affect the way I’ve treated a cashier. So, how can we make a positive impact on the world instead of “spreading bad seeds?” For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Tim Storey where he shared how he is able to “shift his satellite dish” so that it’s picking up good channels instead of bad ones. Tim Storey is a self-help author, motivational speaker, pastor, and founder of Tim Storey Kids Foundation. For the past 10 years, Tim has served as an adviser to leaders and celebrities like Robert Downey Jr., Kanye West, Christian Slater and more. Like Tim says in this episode, “Every day we start with a bag of seeds.” We can either spread bad ones or good ones.

  The number one thing is education. When you become educated about something, then it begins to dissipate fear. Like, for instance, like people who are afraid of flying, I will talk to them many times, even on airplanes, and I'll say, "Okay, let me help you with something."

• 1:02Lewis Howes?

  Right.

• 1:03Tim Storey?

  You can get in an accident so much quicker, and it's so much more common by driving a car, by walking in the street, because it's not common that a big airplane is going down. So when you educate yourself on a subject that you are fearful, it helps to dissipate the fear.

• 1:27Lewis Howes?

  Right.

• 1:28Tim Storey?

  To say it in a Tim Story rhyming way, when you feed your faith with education, you starve your fears or doubt. So you've got to feed your faith and starve your doubt. I think that meditation is simply what we're talking about, and that's stopping, and it's shifting your satellite dish. So, you know, back in the day... You would have these big satellite dishes and we could go to somebody's house like in the late eighties. And they'd be like, "Watch this. I flipped my TV here and I get Canadian football." "I go over here, I get the Minnesota Vikings." Right, right. Okay? So wherever you shift your satellite dishes, that's what you pick up.

  So again, if you're shifting it on my kid smoking weed and he's ticking me off. Or I'm shifting it on I'm forty-two pounds overweight. And that's what you're always thinking about. That's what you're gonna pull in. Okay? All of the secret. Okay? The way you see it. Yeah. It comes closer to you. Same thing with meditation. If I shift my satellite dish to a place of peace, that's what's gonna come towards me. So from a biblical standpoint, to me, I shift my satellite dish to the All Things Are Possible Network. I meditate on the things of God. I meditate on biblical scriptures.

• 2:53Tim Storey?

  I did it today. As soon as I woke up, for twenty minutes, I meditated on Psalms twenty-three. Because that's what I'm into and it put me in a really cool place. Because I speak for a living. Okay? Seventy-three countries. I speak around the world. I'm on stage. There is a buzz to being on stage, mostly if the crowd's super big and they're energetic. Yes. It's a high. It's a high. So I used to wake up, as happy as I am, kinda down, like, "Oh, man." Man, why do I feel so tired? But it could have been a phenomenal night.

• 3:36Tim Storey?

  So, one of the things that I do that I cannot get around is I get up and I either walk or run every single morning of my life. I don't care how I feel. I gotta do it. First thing you do? I did it this morning. Wow. First thing I did is I meditated. Yes. So I'm feeding my spirit. Second thing I did, I went to the park that's not by far from my house. I walk, run, or I'm a basketball player. Ooh. So I go to the gym. I shoot baskets two to three times a week. We gotta play some pickups soon. Let's do it. I'm there. We still got it. We still got it. So, I mean, I'm fifty-five years of age and I'm still hustling, running. That's great. So I have to do that.

  To stay in the zone. And balanced. To be balanced. Yeah. So the meditation, the exercise, and then here's another thing.

• 4:33Tim Storey?

  Every day, me and you have a bag of seeds. I'm gonna sprinkle either good seeds or bad seeds. An attitude, bad seeds. Right. A grouchy little way about me, bad seeds. Every day, I plant good seeds everywhere, on purpose. No matter my mood. Whether I walk in 7-Eleven, tell people great things about themselves. Motivating people, calling my mother, calling people that they don't think I'm gonna call them. Every day, I try to empty out my bag of seeds.
