In this brief motivational talk, the speaker introduces a "moment of yes" encouraging listeners to "own your story." He asks the audience to identify a stressful or frustrating situation in their lives and recognize that their interpretation of that event is shaped by personal beliefs. By acknowledging these beliefs, one can step back, question them, and reconnect to a spiritual source—whether love, God, or the universe—to reframe the situation. This process of belief examination leads to taking responsibility for one's perspective, potentially altering how the situation is perceived and reducing anxiety or stress. The speaker concludes with a positive wish for the day.

Hello everyone. Here is your moment of yes for today. I am having problems with my phone, so I'm actually using my computer. So if the quality is a little down, that's why. So your moment of yes for today is to own your story. So think about a situation in your life, something that might be causing you some frustration, some anxiety, some stress, and just look at that situation And own your story from the standpoint that that is your perspective, that is your beliefs. It's you are the one making it mean whatever it means. And when you own your story, you can now take a step back from it and say, what are the beliefs that I have about this perspective that is causing me to see it this way? And when you can start to question your beliefs, you can take it back to your source of what you base your beliefs on, take it back to your source of spirituality. Of love, of God, of the universe, and start to go, okay, how would my source, how would God see this situation? You can start to question and challenge your beliefs a little bit. And as we start to own our story, we start to take responsibility for how we are approaching these situations in our life. And maybe when we challenge our beliefs, we can start to see them a little differently. So that's your moment of yes for today, everyone. Have a wonderful day. Thank you.
