“I started typing this from the gas station as I filled up the old gas tank. Emerson just finished a great tournament. I pulled into the gas station, drove up to a pump, got out, put the iPhone up to pay, and nothing, tried again, and nothing.”From the transcript

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another hit rowick plus one. I started typing this from the gas station as I filled up the old gas tank. Emerson just finished a great tournament. We're driving home. I pulled into the gas station, drove up to a pump, got out, put the iPhone up to pay, and nothing, tried again, and nothing. Then I noticed the little payment terminal thing wasn't working perfect. I got back into the car. I told Emerson the pump wasn't working as I pulled out to another one. As I did, I asked him, you know what I think when things like that don't work? He said what? I said, I think people are stupid. He's like, really? I laugh and say, dude, no, of course not. Then I can't, can see myself big enough, but I didn't, then I continued. Whenever something like that doesn't work, I like to think about how it usually does work, and how many little miracles there are in our lives that we take for granted. And that's today's plus one. In addition to laughing at myself.
The next time something doesn't quite work the way you want, whether it's a gas station, pump, an internet connection, or some other mundane, but miraculous thing, see how fast you can flip the switch and use the little glitch as a trigger prompt queue to remind yourself of how incredibly blessed we are. Let's do that all day, every day, especially today. Hey, this is Brian. Thanks for spending a few minutes with me today.
