  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So I wanna talk to you today about back of things are rarely
• 0:35
  what they seem to be and this brings us back to always asking
• 0:40
  better questions because if we're not asking the right
• 0:42
  questions, we can never figure out exactly what is happening
• 0:46
  and why things are not the way they seem to be.
• 0:49
  So I've had a lot of personal experiences with this in my life
• 0:53
  and recently it came up again. So I was like, you know, I'm
• 0:55
  going to share this. Few years back I lost touch with
• 0:59
  somebody that I cared about a lot and it just it just
• 1:04
  happened. No need to know the details.
• 1:06
  Doesn't make a difference about what the details seemingly were
• 1:10
  because they were really not the same details anyway, because
• 1:14
  what I, you know, surmised. In that moment was not the
• 1:19
  truth. And then all of a sudden I was
• 1:22
  able to find out again through Facebook, which is so awesome
• 1:28
  about, you know, people complain about social media a lot, but
• 1:31
  there are lots of ways that you can reconnect with people
• 1:33
  through it. And that's exactly what
• 1:35
  happened. We reconnected through Facebook
• 1:37
  and ended up having some really great conversation on the phone
• 1:42
  and realized that both of us thought something that wasn't
• 1:46
  true. Both of us.
• 1:47
  Had something that wasn't true and it was mind blowing to both
• 1:52
  of us that we were able to have this like distinction and come
• 1:56
  back to it. Now what's so important about
• 1:59
  this? Well, what's so important about
• 2:01
  it is not holding on to the idea or the beliefs that you what
• 2:06
  you're believing in the moment is right because it comes back
• 2:10
  to the maybe. Everything always comes back to
• 2:12
  the maybe. Can be what you surmise in that
• 2:15
  moment? Sure, maybe, But it might be
• 2:17
  something else. Could it be something completely
• 2:20
  different than you even thought of?
• 2:22
  Absolutely, because our brains can only process through the
• 2:26
  perspective that we allow them to see, which means we are
• 2:29
  limiting ourselves on a regular basis because we don't
• 2:32
  necessarily have that ability to always see something if we don't
• 2:37
  know. It's kind of like if I say to
• 2:38
  you, hey, I need you to do some form of math that you've never
• 2:42
  done before, you'd be like. I don't know.
• 2:45
  I've never done that before. It's the same thing in this
• 2:48
  situation. It's more about having that
• 2:51
  ability to be wide open and say I don't know what I don't know.
• 2:54
  So fundamentally it's it is all about us being willing and open
• 3:01
  to possibilities and living in that place of maybe, where not
• 3:05
  maybe where. Maybe I'll do it, maybe I won't.
• 3:08
  Not that kind of maybe. But maybe I don't know what I
• 3:11
  don't know. Maybe.
• 3:13
  It's something else. Maybe there's another way to
• 3:15
  think of this. Maybe I can see this in a
• 3:17
  different light, because that's what it always comes back to,
• 3:20
  the ability to be able to function in a different
• 3:23
  headspace, seeing it in a different way.
• 3:26
  And when you do that, everything becomes different.
• 3:29
  Everything becomes different. You give yourself the the open
• 3:34
  space to attract different things, and it's hard to go to.
• 3:39
  Maybe because you want an answer.
• 3:41
  And as human beings. We want certainty.
• 3:44
  We want to know we're right. We want to know we've got it
• 3:47
  nailed down. We want all those things.
• 3:49
  But the truth is that's really hard and it it really is right
• 3:54
  Most of the time when we pick something and we do something,
• 3:57
  it's not exactly what we thought it was going to be.
• 4:00
  So my point is. In all of this and really
• 4:05
  hunkering down in your belief system, recognizing that in
• 4:08
  yourself. And now I know for myself, you
• 4:10
  if you're a regular listener, you know how much I love
• 4:13
  certainty. Because I am a certainty freak
• 4:16
  and I know that about myself. And I have to be cautious and
• 4:19
  conscientious of how that controls my life because it's
• 4:23
  not fun when you get stuck in that.
• 4:25
  But I do know it does take place.
• 4:27
  So because I know it takes place, I can fix it if I choose
• 4:30
  to. And.
• 4:32
  Often times choosing to do it is a difficult thing, but it all
• 4:36
  comes back to well, I can just incorporate the maybe and if I
• 4:41
  have the maybe frame in my head then I can do it a little bit
• 4:46
  better. I don't have to be so rigid, I
• 4:48
  can have the possibility. So I'm just asking to just
• 4:53
  incorporate the maybe because when you do that.
• 4:57
  Things open up. You find gems again.
• 4:59
  You find friends that you've lost.
• 5:00
  You find people that have changed.
• 5:03
  You find lots of things that happen.
• 5:05
  So all I'm saying is allow yourself to have that little
• 5:08
  gift of adding the maybe in and watch your world change.
• 5:12
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll
• 5:14
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
