    Energy & Activities, Decisions & Consequences (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Unexpected events happen to us all. This is why it is never completely within our power to determine the acceleration and elevation of our lives. We can, however, influence our futures to a meaningful degree through the intensity of our energies and the direction of our activities.

    Between the village of Anwick and the town of Sleaford in Lincolnshire, England, lies a farmhouse. It is at this farmhouse that our journey begins. Robert is a stockman on a farm. Daphne is his wife. Their little boy, Bernie, is born in that little farmhouse by lantern light because the house is much older than electricity. When Bernie is five years old, his father is promoted to farm manager, and they are moved into a house with electric lights. Bernie thinks, “Now we are living the good life.”
