May 20 - Today Is Enough

The mind doesn't wait for permission to start running. This episode is about what you do in those first few minutes before it gets away from you. The weight of a lifetime can overwhelm, but today is manageable. Focusing on the present brings clarity and steadiness. Corey opens with what happens between the alarm and the coffee. Mike meets him there with the wild stallions — those racing morning thoughts need to be lassoed and brought into the pen.  From there, Exodus 16 — God raining manna from heaven in the wilderness, forty years of daily provision. The Lord's Prayer echoes it directly: give us this day our daily bread. Today is all any of us can actually do anything about. As soon as a word is spoken, it's already in the past. Mike closes with something personal. A year ago he was bringing five or six times more money into his household than he is today. Same house, no missed mortgage payments, hasn't lost anything — and has gained peace.  Find every daily entry at dailyripples.com.
