In this brief "Moment of Yes" video, the speaker reflects on the challenges of travel—airport hassles, connecting flights, and the loss of control that often accompanies them. He introduces the central mantra, "take your heaven with you," encouraging listeners to carry inner peace, calm, and composure wherever they go. Using the metaphor of a thermostat versus a thermometer, he emphasizes that individuals can set their emotional tone rather than merely reacting to external circumstances. The speaker urges the audience to consciously notice, choose, and maintain positive thoughts and feelings, framing this intentional mindset as a daily affirmation for a better day.

Good morning, everyone. Here is your Moment of Yes. Well, today is a travel day for me. And so as I was doing some listening and reflecting, the idea that popped sort of into consciousness was the idea, simple statement, take your heaven with you. And as I thought about that a little bit, I thought about the day ahead of me, having to go through the airport rigmarole, connecting flights, and sort of feeling— I know it's easy to feel at the mercy Of the airport and travel and not having a whole lot of control over your day. And so just this idea, there can be a lot of anxiety and stress, even if you're not feeling it, the surrounding sort of environment of the airport or traveling can take on a lot of anxiety. And so bring your heaven with you. You know, you can bring that sense of peace and calm and composure to wherever you go. And so heaven is wherever you are when you carry it with you. Or as my good friend Sandy says, be the thermostat, not the thermometer. The thermometer responds to every— to the environment. The thermostat sets the tone. It sets the pace. It stays at a level, perfect temperature no matter what the situation. So today, your moment of yes, take your heaven with you. You are in control of your own thoughts and feelings and emotions. Notice them, choose them, take your heaven with you. Have a great day. Have a great day.
