Life Is Not An Emergency with Katie McDonnell

What this episode covers

Life is not an emergency, it’s an adventure in grace and a laboratory for faith. Or as Florence Scovel Shinn puts it, “Life is not a battle, it’s a game; a game of giving and receiving.” Whatever we are believing we are giving and we always receive according to this belief. On this episode, Darrell and Ed share the benefits of taking a pronoid approach to life. Pronoia describes a state of mind that is the opposite of paranoia. A person experiencing pronoia believes that the world around them conspires to do them good. And, during the second segment, the ever optimistic Katie McDonnell gets us looking forward to good fortune with today’s reading, “Surprise”.

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”).
