The miracle mentality I started studying about 30 years ago. So a mentality, as you know, is a mindset. It is a perspective. And a miracle is something that's just very simple. Extraordinary. uncommon. And little kids have a miracle mentality.

You could take any four or five-year-old into a toy store and they think their parents can buy them anything in the store because they have a miracle mentality and they're connected to their parents and they feel like my parents are the source. I tease about this in a talk. A mother could say to a daughter, oh, here's the Barbie.

I tease about this in a talk. A mother could say to a daughter, oh, here's the Barbie.

And then the daughter at five will say, but what about the whole Barbie house? And the Barbie house is huge. And the mom knows she can't afford the house, but she can afford the Barbie. But the daughter doesn't understand because she has a miracle mentality. And so when we're little, we believe. But not only do we believe... we expect.

But the daughter doesn't understand because she has a miracle mentality. And so when we're little, we believe. But not only do we believe... we expect.

And so I maintain my innocence that I stay in a place of belief and expectation, no matter what is going on. I mean, everything could be hitting at once and I find a way to maintain my innocence. I think that's a real strength of mine, no matter what takes place.

One of the things we need to do is we need to go back to the place of innocence. For me, I trigger myself through music every single day. I said every single day. So for me, as a person of color, I was raised on Motown music. Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Jackson 5, The Supremes, Aretha Franklin. So seven days a week, I listen to motel music. I already have today. So music triggers me.

Old movies trigger me. Once in a while, even though it's really not that healthy, I will go through a supermarket and I'm shopping for other things and I will buy cereal, like Trix or For Kids or Sugar Smacks. They're not healthy, but I'll buy them And usually I'll just take a few bites and then like I'm over it. It's too sugary. But I do that to trigger myself to stay in a place of innocence.

It's a very complicated world. So I stay innocent like a child, but I get things done like an adult.

There's never been as much pressure as there is right now on human beings because of the digital world, as that the idea of exposure to things, you could maybe as a child be driving down the street and you may have seen a billboard and you saw a person smoking. So a child may say, well, what's that? Oh, that's somebody smoking. Well, what is smoking? It was a billboard. It was a magazine.

It was a commercial. Now, because of the phone, we have alerts. What is an Amber Alert? What is this? What is that? And with all the apps that people have, that a lot of them use, Instead of 50,000 thoughts that come to our mind is what a lot of psychologists have felt that that was a good number. I think you like double it now.

Things are just flying at you like meteors just coming at you nonstop. So to me, I have to find a way to silence the thoughts and silence the noise. And I do. I'm a pro. at going to what I call the holy ground and not just living on the battleground.

So this is a human example of how things happen to us that are awkward and unpleasant, and we did not order them from Life's Diner, where you just wake up one day and nobody thinks that you're going to chip your tooth or that your dog's going to be ill and it doesn't look good. or some bad news comes. So I was in Detroit, Michigan, and I was going to speak for this big event. It was snowing.
