  Hey everybody, good early morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So today we are talking about seeking and finding and the
• 0:36
  Bible verse that says seek and ye shall find.
• 0:40
  I think it's very interesting to me when we start to really delve
• 0:45
  into phrases sometimes that are been around forever.
• 0:48
  We hear them all the time, but we don't actually take time to
• 0:51
  delve into it. So seek and ye shall find.
• 0:55
  I think it's pretty straightforward.
• 0:56
  If you're looking for something, you're going to find it.
• 0:59
  And I think the word seeking is something that's an intention.
• 1:05
  So when I look at this phrase, when I dive into this phrase, if
• 1:09
  I'm seeking information, if I'm seeking out something specific,
• 1:13
  it means I have a desire, I have a focus that I'm targeting on.
• 1:18
  And when I put that out in the world, I'm energetically
• 1:24
  attracting that focus. So when you sit and think about
• 1:27
  this for a second, this works positively as well as
• 1:31
  negatively. There's no question in my mind
• 1:33
  how this breaks down. If you are looking for negative
• 1:37
  things, you're going to find negative things.
• 1:39
  If you're looking for positive things, you're going to find
• 1:40
  positive things. And if you're not looking for
• 1:42
  anything specific, you're just, you know, out there, lack of
• 1:47
  direction, lack of focus, you're going to have that show up in
• 1:51
  your world and you're going to be just this is insane.
• 1:54
  I can't get anywhere of all of these things.
• 1:56
  And it's because you're directing it.
• 1:59
  Seek and ye shall find. And sometimes this is hard to
• 2:03
  recognize. I know for me, when I first
• 2:04
  started paying attention to this, I didn't realize that it
• 2:09
  was my energy that was attracting it.
• 2:12
  And the more study I did in this, the more I recognize, OK,
• 2:15
  I have a lot more power than I think I do.
• 2:17
  I have a lot more control than I think I do.
• 2:19
  But then I would still say, well, this happened and this
• 2:22
  happened. But you know, was I actually
• 2:26
  making something happen? And what made me decide to talk
• 2:29
  about this today was I actually had a client who said to me,
• 2:33
  well, I just knew. He was telling me a story about
• 2:35
  something that happened. And he said, I just knew it was
• 2:37
  going to happen. And I knew it all week.
• 2:39
  I knew as soon as I knew I had to do these things, I knew it
• 2:41
  was going to happen. And then what do you think
• 2:43
  happened? It happened.
• 2:44
  So he had this whole idea about this.
• 2:48
  And guess what? He manifested it.
• 2:50
  So when I pointed it out to him and I said, hey, is it possible
• 2:54
  that you could have manifested that?
• 2:56
  And he just paused and he was like, Yep, totally.
• 3:00
  And he wasn't mad that I pointed it out because he knew.
• 3:03
  And he's like, gosh, I didn't even really think about that.
• 3:07
  But the truth is that's what we do all the time.
• 3:10
  We manifest these things like quickly, like lightning, small
• 3:13
  little things that give us indications of our magic and our
• 3:16
  power, but we don't take it that way.
• 3:19
  We think things are just happening to us.
• 3:23
  And so it's just an incredible reminder.
• 3:26
  It's an incredible force when you really start paying
• 3:29
  attention to it, that that the energy of the words, the energy
• 3:33
  of the focus, the energy of the intention makes things happen.
• 3:38
  And when we intend on having things show up in a negative
• 3:43
  way, they do. When we intend on having them
• 3:45
  show up in a poor way, they do. But it also, thank goodness,
• 3:49
  works on the flip side, you know, right from the beginning,
• 3:52
  I've always intended that all my animals are going to live
• 3:55
  harmoniously here and everything's going to be good
• 3:58
  and my dog was going to be good with my chickens.
• 4:01
  And lo and behold, it is just that way because there's not
• 4:05
  been a consistent thought of doubt.
• 4:07
  Now, I would be lying if I said there wasn't any thought of
• 4:10
  doubt that popped up when it first started to come into my
• 4:12
  head. But guess what?
• 4:14
  I didn't keep it. I said, Nope, we're not doing
• 4:16
  that. I put it aside.
• 4:17
  I put it in a vault and I said thank you for sharing.
• 4:20
  We're not paying attention to that.
• 4:21
  And I moved on. And you do have to redirect
• 4:25
  those thoughts over and over and over.
• 4:26
  But the more you redirect them, the better off you are because
• 4:29
  they show up less and less. And there are fewer and fewer
• 4:32
  times that you have to redirect yourself.
• 4:35
  It takes management, it takes consistency, it takes
• 4:38
  commitment, but it is doable and it is simple to remember.
• 4:44
  Seek and ye shall find, seek and ye shall find.
• 4:47
  And the more you seek the good stuff, the more you'll find the
• 4:49
  good stuff. So I'm going to challenge you to
• 4:52
  go out and look and say, am I seeking the good?
• 4:55
  Am I seeking the the not so good?
• 4:57
  Am I seeking nothing? Am I just bumbling through my
• 5:00
  day? And that's really what happens
• 5:02
  when we bumble. We bumble into more bumblers.
• 5:05
  So pause and take a moment, really think about that phrase.
• 5:09
  Seek and ye shall find. What am I seeking?
• 5:11
  What am I seeking? And see if you are fulfilling
• 5:15
  your wishes or you fulfilling your nightmares.
• 5:17
  All right my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and go see
• 5:21
  great things and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:23
  Bye.
