  Hey everybody, good morning from the porch.
• 0:31
  It's drizzling. So we are on the porch today and
• 0:36
  today we are talking about stepping into something that you
• 0:42
  may not have expected to happen, but deep down inside you knew
• 0:48
  you always wanted to make happen.
• 0:51
  So what do I mean when I say that?
• 0:53
  So sometimes we know we want to step into a greatness and we
• 0:57
  don't know the path of how that's going to unfold, but we
• 1:00
  know we want to step into a greatness.
• 1:02
  We know we want to serve our communities.
• 1:04
  We know we want to teach people. We know we want to create
• 1:07
  things, whatever it might be. We know we're going to be doing
• 1:10
  that kind of stuff. We don't.
• 1:12
  We just don't know how it's going to show up, what it's
• 1:15
  going to look like, how it's going to feel.
• 1:17
  And sometimes we feel that pull to do things move.
• 1:22
  Like when I moved here, there was a pull to move.
• 1:25
  I couldn't explain it, but I knew there was a pull to move.
• 1:28
  And when we jump in and we just say, OK, I'm going to, you know,
• 1:33
  as Richard Branson's saying goes, screw it, let's do it.
• 1:38
  We jump in and we see sometimes we do that.
• 1:42
  And we are like, I didn't think I knew anything about this.
• 1:46
  I just jumped in. Well, the truth is like if I go
• 1:50
  back to myself and I say, OK, when we just jumped and moved
• 1:53
  from north to South, one of the things that I learned in making
• 1:57
  a huge move like that, like it was, it was just a tremendous,
• 2:02
  on every level locale, the, the, the culture, everything was
• 2:07
  completely different. And when we jumped in, I could
• 2:11
  sit there and I could say I had no idea what was going to
• 2:13
  happen. But somehow I had this little
• 2:17
  tiny knowing in my gut that was like, this is just right.
• 2:21
  It feels right. And as scary as it feels, I
• 2:25
  still know it's going to be great.
• 2:27
  It's going to be OK Now, was that the first thing that was
• 2:31
  talking? No, all the panic, all the other
• 2:34
  emotions were talking first. All the things that were trying
• 2:36
  to protect me, we're talking first.
• 2:38
  But somehow at the bottom, way behind it, there was this little
• 2:42
  settled moment that was just consistent.
• 2:46
  It was just consistent. And we'll often say in my gut, I
• 2:50
  knew that. So what does that refer to when
• 2:54
  something is in your gut, when it's just residing there?
• 2:57
  It's your guiding force For me, that's your soul talking.
• 3:00
  That's the one that says, I got you, this is right.
• 3:03
  Do this. I feel solid.
• 3:06
  Listen to the language we use about things.
• 3:08
  So we say we're stepping into the unknown and somehow that may
• 3:13
  be true. But remember, two things can be
• 3:15
  true at the same time. So the truth is that little
• 3:19
  knowing that little piece is also true.
• 3:21
  And you know, even though a portion is an unknown, that
• 3:25
  little tiny piece of your gut, so to speak, your center, your
• 3:29
  soul is saying, Yep, I got you. We're supposed to be doing this.
• 3:34
  This is the right move to make. And when you focus on that
• 3:38
  piece, everything else starts to shape.
• 3:41
  Everything else starts to get in line.
• 3:43
  Everything else starts to feel much, much better.
• 3:48
  So you have to ask yourself, am I tapping on that chord or am I
• 3:52
  tapping on the emotional chord that's all over the place?
• 3:55
  Because it's very easy to go to both places and consistently,
• 3:59
  it's very easy to go to both places.
• 4:02
  Just look at yourself every single day and take note.
• 4:05
  You'll see back and forth, very easy to go to both places.
• 4:09
  So how do we how do we make sure we're listening to that one?
• 4:13
  Well, since it's not a loud screaming emotional voice most
• 4:18
  of the time we have to be quiet. We have to sit and pause.
• 4:22
  We have to get totally centered and listen to it.
• 4:25
  We have to get set in that space and say, OK, let me often you'll
• 4:31
  hear at least it. My version of this, I hear
• 4:35
  myself say I have to collect myself.
• 4:37
  So when I say I have to collect myself, I'm basically going out
• 4:40
  and I'm getting all those other emotions.
• 4:42
  I'm bringing them back, sitting them on the bus, putting a seat
• 4:45
  belt on them, handing them a snack and saying so that I can
• 4:51
  pause and collect myself. And when I collect myself, I can
• 4:55
  hear the whispers. So maybe it's a good time to
• 4:58
  pause. You know, halfway through the
• 5:01
  year, it's a good time to pause. It's a good time to collect
• 5:04
  yourself. It's a good time to listen to
• 5:06
  the little voices. It's a good time to make sure
• 5:09
  that those all those little voices that are centered and
• 5:13
  talking to each and everyone of you out there deserve to be
• 5:16
  heard fully. So pause and pay attention to
• 5:19
  that centeredness because I promise you when you do that,
• 5:22
  you'll be able to see that you are on the right path, that you
• 5:25
  are doing the right things, and that you just need to stay on
• 5:30
  task, focused and listening. All right my friends, I hope you
• 5:34
  have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:36
  Bye.
