  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:29
  Good morning from the Can coop today we are talking about
• 0:32
  intensity and how you approach things.
• 0:37
  You know, I have been told many times in my life that I can be,
• 0:40
  intense that I get into things that I get obsessive, and all of
• 0:46
  that is true. It is absolutely 100% true.
• 0:50
  The chickens are a testament to that because for Years,
• 0:56
  everybody who knew me knew I was like I just want to place where
• 0:58
  I can have chickens. Soon as I was able to make it
• 1:01
  happen logistically without getting in trouble by some
• 1:04
  place, I lived boom we have chickens and I didn't just have,
• 1:08
  you know, 10 chickens, you think now we have nine babies and 38
• 1:13
  adults and we still have a chicken sitting on eggs.
• 1:18
  Well you know, we'll see how that goes but she's a new mom,
• 1:21
  we'll see how that goes. But anyway, intensity and taking
• 1:25
  things on the way that I do this is not a new thing.
• 1:30
  This is very much a part of my identity.
• 1:33
  It's very much a part of my personality.
• 1:35
  It's very much a part of my wiring and I have a very strong
• 1:40
  belief that if you're going to do something what's the point in
• 1:43
  doing it? If you're not going to go all
• 1:45
  the way. I just can't fathom taking on
• 1:49
  something and not doing it all the way if I'm going to do it.
• 1:54
  I might as well dive into it all the way.
• 1:56
  Now I understand that for a lot of people this can see seemed
• 2:00
  like a lot. Someone looks at something and
• 2:01
  they go. Huh.
• 2:03
  I don't know why you have to be so OnPoint like all the time
• 2:07
  with it. I don't know why if you doing
• 2:09
  something, you have to go into it and 1000%, you know, you go
• 2:12
  Plant say you're going to plant a garden and it becomes you know
• 2:15
  50 by 50 or your you know creating this little flower
• 2:18
  garden and all of a sudden the flower garden is ginormous.
• 2:22
  It's not about the size of it. It's just about feeling that
• 2:26
  you're doing it in a complete Manner.
• 2:29
  And I think that the Left in this.
• 2:31
  And why I wanted to talk to you guys about this.
• 2:33
  Today was when you have a passion for something and that
• 2:39
  passion is part of you, it was has out of you in every
• 2:44
  capacity. So I have a passion like not
• 2:48
  just for flowers, or chickens or farming or reading or painting
• 2:54
  being creative. Know, all of those things are
• 2:56
  true. But the thing that I really have
• 2:59
  a passion, Passion for and I really intense passion for is
• 3:03
  the constant experience of learning and feeling, like, okay
• 3:07
  I can see something transform, it's the passion of
• 3:10
  transformation. It's the passion of sitting
• 3:12
  there and being like excited about watching something, go
• 3:17
  from next to. Nothing to something.
• 3:19
  Seeing the vision that was in my head, come into the world and
• 3:24
  when you're focused like that, I can't begin to express.
• 3:29
  To you. When you take that on, how
• 3:32
  exhilarating it is because most of us have a propensity to
• 3:37
  settle. Most of us have been surrounded
• 3:41
  by what I refer to as just constant settling the constant
• 3:44
  never-ending settling of human beings and we don't we don't
• 3:49
  realize how much that kills us. It's the killer of Dreams, it's
• 3:53
  the killer Visions, it's the killer of creativity because we
• 3:56
  don't want to run into the problem and have to deal with
• 3:59
  the problem. So they Before we surrender,
• 4:00
  before we even get a chance to start.
• 4:03
  And it sucks, it really is really sucks thing that got me
• 4:07
  thinking about this was, I was watching a show called finding
• 4:12
  floret or growing. I think it's growing floret and
• 4:16
  it's on Discovery Magnolia Network, and it's all about
• 4:19
  floret flowers and Aaron and Cris has dream of growing her
• 4:25
  flower farm into something and what she does and how she does
• 4:29
  it. And She admitted in last night
• 4:32
  show that, you know, she knows that she's intense, she knows
• 4:37
  that she never sits down. She hears comments from people
• 4:40
  about it, and she's like, but it's okay to be extra, right?
• 4:43
  Like I'm a little extra, it's okay to be that way, right?
• 4:47
  And she it was look at it was almost like she was like looking
• 4:49
  for validation that someone else was saying, hey, you know, she
• 4:54
  was confessing that this was her identity and I sat there and my
• 4:57
  eyes actually weld up because I was like I've been in that space
• 5:01
  so much and people want me to constantly justify that and
• 5:08
  there is no need to justify it. I've learned over the years.
• 5:11
  It's my heart went out to her because I'm sure that this is
• 5:16
  not the first time she's heard it.
• 5:18
  I'm sure it's not going to be the last time that she has ever
• 5:21
  experienced that because one of the things that's so crazy about
• 5:24
  this type of thing, when you have it, when you possess it,
• 5:27
  when you seek it, is that Everyone else wants to make you
• 5:32
  feel like you're weird because they're not doing that.
• 5:36
  So if you're listening to this and you have that propensity and
• 5:40
  your intense and I don't care if it's about knitting, needle,
• 5:42
  pointing, you know, writing books, you know, writers are
• 5:46
  constantly accused of this kind of thing because they get into
• 5:50
  writing their characters and they go into an alternate
• 5:52
  universe, and they create this universe and they won't leave
• 5:56
  their desk. They just sit there and they
• 5:58
  just know like, oh my God. They're so weird.
• 6:00
  Writers are weird. No, they're not.
• 6:03
  They're just passionate. They're intense because of the
• 6:06
  passion that they possess and for the love of God and all
• 6:11
  that's holy allowing people to be.
• 6:14
  That way is what's necessary and understanding that that is a
• 6:18
  massive gift. And if you are hiding that gift,
• 6:21
  if you are listening to this and you are hiding that gifted.
• 6:24
  But in yourself Let It Go, just be yourself.
• 6:28
  Be that passionate crazy. A person and don't worry about
• 6:32
  what anybody else thinks because I can promise you.
• 6:34
  It feels so good on the other side to realize what you're
• 6:38
  supposed to create. Because in this world, we are
• 6:41
  co-creating constantly with the universe and God, so go
• 6:45
  co-create. Be happy and don't be ashamed of
• 6:48
  it. Don't try to justify it own it
• 6:50
  and Razzle Dazzle the world with what you have to share, and I
• 6:55
  promise you're going to feel a hell of a lot better about it
• 6:57
  than hiding. All right, my friends.
• 6:59
  I hope you have a very blessed passionate day and I will see
• 7:03
  you tomorrow. Bye.
• 6:59
  All right, my friends. I hope you have a very blessed
• 7:01
  passionate day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 7:04
