Hello, it's me, the M, the I, the K to the E, hailing from the D, the Y to the T that's the abbreviation for the city called Dayton and I'm sending you good sensations and vibrations. And remember, I'm just saying I want to talk to you from the subject of keep turning, keep turning. There was a story about someone who was mining for gold and he got tired. And when he got tired from mining for the gold, uh, he was only a few, either inches or feet away from gold and um, so he left, he got tired of it. Then along comes someone else who realizes, you know that there's gold to be had, and that person, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, went ahead and ended up getting the gold the person had worked for.

Keep turning, I had received a blessing from someone and, uh this is kind of like a spinoff of the previous podcast received a blessing from someone and I had to use a wrench to turn and to take an old piece off to adjust something else. And the issue was that the object that I was turning was very smooth and it didn't have a rough edge to where the wrench could really lock in and grab, or so I thought, and it was every time I turned. I turned, thinking that I'm turning it and said, oh man, that's it. Uh, I guess it's just not gonna work. I'm probably gonna have to go buy a pair of pliers. Then something happened. I started turning. I started turning a little bit more and the piece was off. Keep turning, that's all I had to do.

How many times in life have you been close to something? You may only have maybe 12 hours to graduate, to get that master's degree or bachelor's degree. You may have only a few months or weeks or so to lose that weight that you were looking to do. You may have only a couple verses before you have a full song, a couple of chapters before you have a full book, a couple of weeks of training before you reach the certification for the thing that you were going for the hope, the dream, the ambition. Keep turning. That's my job, that's my podcast to encourage you to keep going, because within a few more turns you'll get it. You have once again come into the land of mike believe, a place that makes emerald city look like a pile of green rocks, never, never land. Wish that it never existed in the first place, and wonderland, wonder why it was created at all and I encourage you to dream like you'll live forever, but please, pretty, please, no-transcript.
