The Most Valuable Real Estate on Earth

And why you should protect it at all cost

Hey my friend,

How are you?

I’m in surgery today, but I wanted to share this quick thought with you.

Something I'm Pondering:

Let me ask you a question. If you're sitting at home on the couch and the doorbell rings, what do you do?

Do you walk right up to the door and fling it wide open without looking through the window or the peephole, and shout, "Come on in!"?

Or do you take a look outside first, maybe open the door with the chain in place, to make sure whoever is out there is someone you'd want in your home?

When you go to bed at night, do you lock and bolt your door? Or do you prop it open so anyone could walk right in?

These are silly questions, but here's my point:

You are very careful, responsible, and diligent about what you allow into your home, aren't you?

Why? Because when something bad comes into your house, you're not safe.

On the podcast lately, we've been talking about how important it is to control what we think about. I've shown you both neuroscience and scripture to hopefully convince you that how you think determines most of the controllable elements of your quality of life.

And since you've just agreed with me that you would never allow anything into your home without doing everything you could to make sure it was safe, I'd like to ask you this:

Why do we allow other people and circumstances to so frequently barge right into the most important real estate we own, the space between our ears?
