  Hey, everybody. Good morning.
• 0:29
  From the chicken coop. So can you guess when does the
• 0:33
  most growth happen for us as humans?
• 0:37
  Typically, when do you think the most growth, whether it's
• 0:41
  intellectual growth, spiritual growth, when do you think the
• 0:44
  most growth happens? Well, let me tell you, it
• 0:48
  happens in the midst of that period of time that you like the
• 0:52
  least the conflict. When you're frustrated, you're
• 0:55
  angry, you're scared, and you are doing the same old thing
• 1:00
  over and over and over again. You're running your patterns,
• 1:02
  The drivers are driving and you are beyond yourself.
• 1:07
  You are just so frustrated, angry you're, you're taxed with
• 1:12
  this overwhelming sense of feeling like you just want to
• 1:17
  scream. And then all of a sudden you
• 1:19
  recognize you have a choice and you choose differently.
• 1:22
  And you say, I'm not doing this anymore and you let go and you
• 1:26
  change how you are seeing it. You change your response.
• 1:30
  And all of a sudden the most important intellectual and
• 1:34
  spiritual growth that you have ever experienced takes place in
• 1:37
  that moment. And that may seem like a bold
• 1:39
  statement, but it's absolutely true because you've broken the
• 1:42
  pattern. And somehow breaking the pattern
• 1:45
  is one of the most refreshing, lovely things that we can do for
• 1:51
  ourselves is when we interrupt the pattern and all of a sudden
• 1:53
  we become different people. We become something absolutely
• 1:59
  accelerated beyond where we were.
• 2:01
  And it feels so amazingly liberating to be able to do
• 2:06
  something like that and break a pattern.
• 2:09
  You know, I will say my the biggest chunk of of my personal
• 2:13
  growth was in areas of pain in my life, for sure.
• 2:17
  But anxiety being the biggest one that had the earliest impact
• 2:22
  on me, which is why I'm sitting here talking to all of you.
• 2:24
  If I hadn't had all of that, I would have never gotten to this
• 2:27
  point where I do this. And from that understanding,
• 2:32
  looking back at it, I can see why it was so painful, why it
• 2:35
  was so hard. But if I hadn't had those things
• 2:37
  happen, I would never have gotten to the point where I
• 2:39
  could teach people around it that you have a choice.
• 2:41
  Now when you're in the midst of it, you don't know that you have
• 2:45
  the choice because you're so wrapped up in the midst of it.
• 2:48
  And that's why it's so important to say, can you break this
• 2:51
  pattern? Can you all of a sudden stop and
• 2:53
  just say, OK, I can think of this differently.
• 2:55
  I can be differently. I can all of a sudden focus my
• 2:58
  attention, ask a better question, which is the whole
• 3:01
  thing of the bus concept of stop, reflect, choose, redirect.
• 3:06
  When you are able to stop and say, OK, this is not who I want
• 3:09
  to be, this is not how I want to feel.
• 3:11
  And now I'm going to choose something different.
• 3:13
  I'm going to choose a different driver.
• 3:14
  And even if you're just choosing to to be, instead of being
• 3:18
  angry, you're going to be frustrated.
• 3:21
  That is a win because it's a shift.
• 3:23
  So what I want to impart on you all today is that it's the
• 3:29
  smallest of small things are still wins in this.
• 3:32
  People often think it has to be some some tremendous big thing
• 3:37
  in order to get it. And that couldn't be further
• 3:39
  from the truth, you know, especially when you are doing
• 3:42
  all the other right things. Like let's say you, you
• 3:44
  meditate, you go to yoga, you're doing all these things, but you
• 3:47
  still have all this other stuff that happens that pisses you
• 3:51
  off. And you are trying to figure out
• 3:54
  how do I get past this? Or it frustrates you, it makes
• 3:56
  you sad and depressed and you're trying to figure out how to get
• 4:00
  past it. And even though I'm doing all
• 4:02
  the right things, something else is going on.
• 4:05
  It's those moments when you are able to stop and say, OK, wait,
• 4:10
  I can learn something from this. OK, wait, what?
• 4:13
  Can I take away and move forward with this?
• 4:16
  OK, stop. Who do I choose to be in these
• 4:19
  moments? That's when change happens.
• 4:22
  And do you have to change things over and over and over?
• 4:25
  Yes. Will you have to do it multiple
• 4:27
  times? Yes.
• 4:29
  Is it something that we like to do?
• 4:31
  No. But is it effective?
• 4:33
  Absolutely. So really take ownership of this
• 4:37
  and recognize that you have the option of how and when you're
• 4:41
  going to grow. And if you decide that when
• 4:44
  these pain points show up, I'm going to do the work of
• 4:47
  debriefing them, I'm going to give myself that gift.
• 4:49
  And I'm going to walk away from this knowing that I am in the
• 4:53
  power, I am in the right space all of a sudden.
• 4:56
  It is absolutely just mind blowing how much different
• 5:01
  you'll feel and how much freer you'll feel.
• 5:03
  But you have to take those steps first.
• 5:05
  OK, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you
• 5:07
  tomorrow. Bye.
