  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, so I want to ask you about your gifts, what gifts?
• 0:34
  Do you think you have? I'm not talking about gifts,
• 0:36
  people gave you. I'm talking about the gifts of
• 0:40
  who you are as a person. What are your gifts, like, do
• 0:44
  you see that you have gifts? This is an interesting thing to
• 0:49
  think about because often we as human beings will view what we
• 0:53
  have. That have been given to us as
• 0:54
  gifts. As nuisances at as things that
• 1:00
  are getting in our way, as things that are haunting us
• 1:03
  there, like that, petulant child at your pants.
• 1:05
  Pulling on your leg going mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom mom and
• 1:09
  annoying us because we're not using them.
• 1:12
  And sometimes those gifts are so important to us and we Overlook
• 1:17
  them and then they become our heartache, because we're not
• 1:20
  living up to what those gifts are.
• 1:23
  We're not using them, you know, it's often been said that.
• 1:26
  Your gifts are the things that God gives you, are the gifts
• 1:30
  that he gives you in yourself what you do with them, is your
• 1:33
  gift back and the first time I heard that phrase years ago,
• 1:39
  someone looked at me and said, you know, that Talent of being
• 1:42
  able to talk to anybody anywhere at any time, is not your
• 1:45
  hinderance. It's your gift from God.
• 1:47
  What you do with it, is your gift back and I was
• 1:51
  flabbergasted because I'd never heard it that way my entire
• 1:55
  life. People had said to me, I mean,
• 1:57
  from the time I was little every single report card was she talks
• 2:01
  too much? She asked too many questions.
• 2:03
  Can you imagine having a teacher right on the report card she
• 2:08
  asks too many questions seriously that I wish I still
• 2:12
  had all of them to take pictures and show the comments and show
• 2:16
  what teachers said but I lived that every single report card
• 2:21
  and my parents were always like, can't you just like chill out?
• 2:25
  Can't you sit there and relax? Max, my father would say, you
• 2:28
  know, you don't have to ask that many questions and I was like,
• 2:31
  but I do, I don't understand. So I'm asking questions and it
• 2:34
  wasn't that I didn't understand the concepts.
• 2:36
  It was that I had more things. I wanted to know because I am
• 2:40
  driven by curiosity and I'm driven by that need to keep
• 2:44
  going and figure out more. I can't explain why my soul is
• 2:48
  such a voracious learner, but I can say my clue is that?
• 2:53
  It's because I do this. It's because I'm constantly
• 2:55
  learning. And it's because I'm constantly
• 2:57
  trying to teach. So it's that push in the gift
• 3:03
  that shapes us and when we ignore the gift or try to put it
• 3:07
  away, it no longer becomes our gift, it becomes our ulcer, it
• 3:10
  becomes our heart attack. It becomes our are like
• 3:16
  overwhelming anxiety. All the sicknesses because we
• 3:19
  are at Ali's or dis ease. You know, we can't keep
• 3:23
  ourselves set because we're not living together.
• 3:26
  Potential. We have and we're not living to
• 3:28
  the person that we are. We're doing something different,
• 3:31
  we're doing, the things that are not, right?
• 3:33
  And at least for us, and we've got to have a blend of things.
• 3:36
  We have to have balance nature is all about balance.
• 3:39
  That's why we have seasons. That's why things grow and then
• 3:43
  they stop growing. That's why the garden.
• 3:45
  I mean, lessons from the garden. It's something that's so
• 3:49
  important. I sit here and I could I could
• 3:52
  give you a hundred different podcasts on just the garden
• 3:55
  outside of the chicken. Ian's, it's amazing how
• 3:59
  everything is cyclical. Everything is cyclical and where
• 4:03
  some things, you know, grow really well in fall, other
• 4:06
  things won't grow at all. And it's all about looking at
• 4:10
  the waves of how it works. So, looking at yourself and
• 4:15
  saying, what are my gifts is so incredibly imperative to your
• 4:21
  progress to your mental well-being, to staying out of a
• 4:26
  Of anxiety and stress because when you know these things when
• 4:29
  you know, what are your gifts and whether you're using them or
• 4:32
  not, then you can progress forward.
• 4:35
  Now, I will say this and I want to point this out because I
• 4:37
  will, I will beat this drum all the way home years ago.
• 4:44
  Many, many, many, many, many years ago, people were coveted
• 4:48
  for having multiple talents. They were referred to as
• 4:51
  Renaissance men and women they were referred to as someone who,
• 4:55
  you know, Oh, oh. Oh, that person's a genius
• 4:58
  because they could do multiple things.
• 4:59
  Think about what you know about Leonardo DaVinci, think about
• 5:04
  what you know about Albert Einstein, think great minds that
• 5:08
  have done things. And if we use Leonardo DaVinci,
• 5:11
  as an example, I mean, Not only, was he an artist?
• 5:14
  Not only was he, a painter, Not only, was he an inventor, he
• 5:19
  invented badass, things, he didn't just invent little
• 5:23
  things. He did, he invented badass
• 5:25
  things, he thought About challenges and I mean he
• 5:28
  designed a flying machine. Wait.
• 5:32
  Hey, before the Wright brothers ever?
• 5:34
  Even thought of doing this, this man was putting details on paper
• 5:38
  for this. Now, say what you will about the
• 5:43
  whole Master. Take one thing and master it.
• 5:46
  Some people are wired for that way.
• 5:49
  Some people Soul are just like I'm on task for one thing and
• 5:52
  that's what I want to do. But most of us are not, most of
• 5:56
  us have multiple interest, multiple things, that we, we
• 5:59
  could, and should be doing, but because society says, well do
• 6:03
  one thing and do that for 10,000 hours and that's it.
• 6:07
  Listen, I've got 40,000 hours plus and coaching and I also am
• 6:11
  obsessed with my Gardens. I am obsessed with growing
• 6:14
  things. I'm obsessed with plants.
• 6:16
  I paint. I draw.
• 6:18
  I am. My camera is never not near me.
• 6:22
  An iPhone turning into the camera was Is like the best
• 6:25
  thing ever, but I always have my DSLR nearby.
• 6:29
  I'm always taking photographs, why?
• 6:32
  Because I believe in those talents, I believe in that
• 6:36
  creativity and I believe, when I'm doing those things, I am
• 6:39
  getting better. I am willing to take my gifts
• 6:42
  and use them, you know, think of it this way, someone gives you a
• 6:45
  gift and it sits on the kitchen table and you refused to open
• 6:48
  it. You've got this beautiful gift,
• 6:49
  it's nicely wrapped in you refuse to open it.
• 6:51
  That would never happen. You'd open the gift you'd want
• 6:53
  to see what was in it. Well, you are that gift from the
• 6:56
  universe. From God, open it, open it and
• 6:59
  see all of it. Don't just take the thing,
• 7:01
  that's on the top of the tissue paper, dig to the bottom.
• 7:04
  Look at all the goodies on the bottom, because sometimes the
• 7:06
  stuff on the bottom is the best. When my mother would pack my
• 7:09
  Christmas stocking. She would always fill the toe
• 7:11
  with Hershey kisses. And as a kid that was like I
• 7:14
  couldn't wait to get to the toe, no matter what else was in
• 7:17
  there, the Hershey kisses were awesome.
• 7:19
  So look at all your gifts, dig to the bottom, accept your It's
• 7:24

• 7:27

• 7:29
