welcome to Personal Development mastery podcast. And this is another snippet of wisdom episode where I select my favourite most insightful moments from previous episodes of the podcast. Today's snippet of wisdom comes from my conversation with Barry Shore, who is known as the ambassador of joy. He's a mental health activist, philanthropist, entrepreneur, speaker, author, and a former quadriplegic. The snippet I chose to play for you is about seeing miracles in life every day. It's about the joy of living and the journey of you. I hope you find this snippet of wisdom as insightful as I have, here it is.

But I still can't walk up a curb on myself. I can't walk up the stairs by myself. And I have helped 12 hours a day, seven days a week. But you hear my voice, positive, purposeful, powerful, pleasant, it's all because of one word, one word. And the word is Smile. Smile, smile, because smile is a great acronym that if you utilise internalise and leverage in your life will really be of benefit to you. Because smile stands for seeing miracles in life, every day. see miracles and life everyday now and I speak to groups. And just recently I spoke to a group of fall over 5200 people in the audience, and I'm talking the story about Barry Shor and being paralysed and seeing miracles people raise their hand say, Hey, Barry Shawbury should have been up for hours. I haven't seen any miracles. And I asked him Are you here? Can you hear? Can you stand still? I can't do that. Can you walk into Billy do that you have water, drink food to eat a place to sleep, family friends, every single one of those is a miracle and the simple proof proof. A million people didn't get out of bed this morning. You know why Aggie. They died. So by definition, if you're listening to this, you didn't. Therefore you have an obligation to live life, exuberantly and obligation. I got a quick story. My eight year old niece comes over to me a few weeks ago she says Uncle Barry uncle Barry, can we spell smile? S M I E L? And I thought about smiles sounds the same? Why not ask her how come? She says because then we'd stand for seeing miracles in everyday life. Out of the mouths of babes and eight year old Aggie but you know what she was doing? She was creating the kind of world she wants to live in. Now create is a wonderful acronym that stands for causing rethinking, enabling all to excel, rethinking we call it Neuro Linguistic Programming, right? Personal Development, the ability for us to work with our thoughts and our speech and our deeds. Because the six most important words you'll ever internalise, utilise and leverage in your life, our choice, not chance determines your destiny. Choice, not chance determines your destiny. How you choose to respond in any given situation is really the key to your personal development, your ability to stand out and stand for something, which in this case is positive, purposeful, powerful, pleasant. You see, by the way, this podcast has nothing to do with Barry short, nice guy that he is really great selling this podcast and everything to do with you. Why oh, you and you becoming the best you because when you're the best, you you make the world a better place. And when you follow the three fundamentals, live life with purpose, go mad, go make a difference. And uncover the power and the sequence of everyday words and terms. You will be happier, healthier, and wealthier. Who doesn't want that. So that's the background story that help transform me from a regular person nice guys then, but into the person today that is on a mission to enable the world to be transformed through joy. And joy is a great three letter word that stands for journey of you. That's what joy is journey of you. What can be better in life right Aggie
