Get Your Hopes Up! with Marty Thurman

from Funniest Thing! · host Darrell Fusaro

Wherever there is hope recovery follows. This is the truth. However, most of us, when in the running for a desired position, an award, an acting role, or good news on test results, we tend to outright dismiss Hope. We’ll start by sharing the good news with a friend and then within the same breath squelch our enthusiasm for it by saying, “But, I don’t want to get my hopes up.” Although we’ve been seemingly taught by saying this phrase we’re being humble and respectable, the truth is we’re actually denouncing God, negating our good. We’ve replaced our faith with superstition. Thinking that somehow if we cooperate with the positive stream of life and God’s grace that we will jeopardize it. That’s insanity. On this episode, Darrell and Ed encourage listeners to break the bad habit of casting bad superstitious spells upon themselves and start cooperating with God, by casting Good spells upon one another. That’s the Gospel, the good spell! And, during the second segment, Magnificent Marty Thurman gets us all living it up with today’s reading, “The Creative Power of the Mind”.

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene (Full Audiobook) Robert Greene Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”).
