I, and you know, I'm, I'm passionate. Like people that have seen me speak,
I'll set a whole stage on fire.
I remember a long time ago, I was dating this actress lady and still a great friend of mine today. And she laughs at this because she was trying to really get to me. And she goes, if you don't do this, it's over. I am walking out right now and it is over. And she did like this big speech. And then I go, well, we should probably talk about it. She goes, you don't understand. This is not a threat.
If you don't do this, that, and the other, it's over. And then I didn't do what she wanted. So she got her purse and she just got up and just kept walking. And I just stood there. And then she came back around the corner a few minutes later. She goes, you're not even going to chase me? And then she started laughing. She goes, only you, only you would not chase me. Everybody chases me. I go, okay.
Well, I know the book is going to capture people's attention because I've done the speech so many times And when I do this speech, people go like this. I could even be like, because I speak at a lot of places that are stuffy. And they're like, life coach to the stars, work with this, that. That doesn't get them. They're like this. Okay.
But when I talk about the miracle mindset and I say things like this, watch. I was speaking to a group of kids in South Africa. And I said to these little kids, they must have been about seven or eight, what do you want to be when you get older? And little kid said, the president. And little girl said, a ballerina. And little boy said, I want to be like LeBron James.
I said, every one of them had a miracle mentality. A miracle is something extraordinary, supernatural, not common, not normal, not the regular. I said, when you're little, you have a miracle mentality. Now you may not always say it, show it, act like it, but see most psychologists have found that even if kids do not say it or express it, they still feel it.
They feel like something miraculous can still happen. Even if they're being abused or in a bad situation, they're thinking my mindset will somehow get me out of this mess and this madness. And so in this book, The Miracle Mentality, I'm not trying to get people to get something that they don't have. I'm trying to get people to align with who they really are. See, that's what I did.
I aligned myself with who I am. Yeah. The miracle mentality.
I think for me, it's cooperating with who I'm supposed to be. That I don't believe in chasing dreams. I believe in cooperating with what life has called me to be. So I believe that whatever your faith is, we've all been spoken over. And so I think that even when I was in my mother's womb, that there was a destiny for me. And I'm just lining up with it on a daily basis. I'm lining up.
I didn't know that I'd be in 90 airports around the world. That just happened this week. When you walk through the airport, you'll see me on these big screens everywhere that I write every month for American Magazine. and United Airways magazines. I didn't know that I get to be interviewed by you. So I didn't know all these things. I just knew I needed to line up with who I really am.
And that's what we've done.
I think the best way is still the old fashioned way, just timstory.com. And you'll put all that there because story is S-T-O-R-E-Y. I'm special. So they put an E in there. So Tim's story, timstory.com, it shows all the things we do.
We've all faced what I call a life interruption. An interruption is a disturbance. So the life interruption was my father, he was going through a green light and a person ran a red light, hit him, and then my father passed.
If you build your spot, life will put the spotlight on your spot. My spot was to be very good in understanding human beings. I was constantly studying, constantly learning, constantly serving, plowing, planting, watering is repetition, and then the harvest came. But the harvest came so much more than I ever thought.
One of the things we need to do is
I'm excited because we're friends. So we're going to have a great conversation.
So much of our life in the formation of it is before age 10. So if we go birth to 10, those are really rough years for me, birth to 10. Because what took place in our lives is that we were struggling financially, struggling with leadership in the house where my parents were not in a great relationship. And so my parents were raising five children with a lot of instability in their own lives.
Then the fact of being more lower income that added to the equation. But in the midst of that, I had a very good attitude and I had a very good sense of humor.
I definitely felt it. And the way I felt it is when I started to play sports. So when you played sports, let's say in baseball, So you had to get these Little League shoes. They called them cleats. And then I realized that some of the other kids were getting very nice ones, like maybe Adidas. And then I wanted certain types like them, and we could not afford them.
