  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop so Today we are talking
• 0:32
  about staying focused and committed to your outcome.
• 0:36
  This was not what I planned to talk to you about today but
• 0:39
  here's what's funny. I just had some hay delivered to
• 0:43
  the chicken coop so that I could swap it out and no matter what I
• 0:48
  do, no matter how much I try to keep these chickens away from
• 0:51
  the hey they will just keep going back.
• 0:54
  I move it. They Circle to it and they want
• 0:57
  all those microscopic bugs that we just can't see.
• 1:02
  And I can hide it. I can put it in places where
• 1:06
  that you don't think they can get to it.
• 1:08
  They get right in my truck to grab it out.
• 1:10
  They are committed to their outcome and I thought, wow what
• 1:14
  a great example of being tenacious.
• 1:18
  Having grit, not letting things get in your way and staying
• 1:21
  focused on what you want. Is an outcome boy, they have a
• 1:25
  lesson to teach them of us because some of us give up too
• 1:28
  quickly and we say well I guess it.
• 1:30
  The meant to be, or oh, that's not working out the way I
• 1:33
  thought it was going to, and we'll just let things go.
• 1:37
  But I have to say watching them, I just makes me laugh and it
• 1:42
  inspires me. And I say, maybe we need to be
• 1:44
  more focused, like the chickens are because there is no doubt in
• 1:48
  my mind when they want to get to something, they're going to get
• 1:51
  to something. If they want to make something
• 1:52
  happen, they make it happen. And then I started thinking
• 1:55
  about all the other spots where this shows up dust baths all
• 1:59
  around my property. Purty, there are spots where
• 2:02
  they decide they're going to create a dust bath.
• 2:04
  Now, I've given them a great big dust bath, but they go off and
• 2:07
  they just do what they want to do and you can't change their
• 2:09
  mind and their focus is on it. And I think this has excellent
• 2:13
  properties for a lesson for everybody out there listening,
• 2:16
  because they just work around stuff, they don't care.
• 2:19
  Whatever gets in their way, they stick to it.
• 2:22
  And for me, As a coach seeing that and having having being
• 2:28
  surrounded by that level of grit and sticking to it and not
• 2:33
  allowing things to get in your way and, and also shaking things
• 2:37
  off. It's another thing that they do
• 2:39
  really really well, they shake things off.
• 2:42
  Like if something happens, let's say a hawk comes down and
• 2:45
  they're all scared and they all run.
• 2:48
  As soon as the hot goes away, they're out there acting like it
• 2:51
  never happened, they don't let things get to them.
• 2:54
  Now, one might say, it's because they have a Birdbrain huh?
• 2:57
  Wouldn't that be funny? Because they do have a bird
• 2:59
  brain, but maybe sometimes we need to adopt that bird brain so
• 3:03
  that we don't hang onto stuff so much.
• 3:04
  And that we don't allow it to affect us.
• 3:07
  And in fact, us the way things do because we hang onto stuff
• 3:11
  forever and we also let everything get in our way.
• 3:13
  And we say, oh well what if what if I apply for the job and they
• 3:17
  don't like me? What if this goes this way or
• 3:20
  what if somebody says to me? Well you don't have the skill.
• 3:24
  Oh, God forbid, someone tell us, we don't have the skill.
• 3:27
  We lose our minds in that moment and we have to just get past all
• 3:31
  that. We have to say hey you know
• 3:32
  what, maybe I just need to think a little simpler.
• 3:35
  Maybe I just need to be a little more tenacious, little more
• 3:38
  focused. Maybe I just need to say, Hey,
• 3:42
  you know, I see where I want to go.
• 3:43
  I'm not going to let anything stop me.
• 3:45
  Like the chickens getting to the hey or I see these bugs and I'm
• 3:49
  going to stay committed to it, they just go after it, they
• 3:52
  don't care. So I'm going to challenge you to
• 3:55
  say, hey maybe I need to adopt a little bird brain here, and I
• 3:59
  need to just stay a little more on task and on target and a
• 4:04
  little bit more grit and a little bit of fortitude and
• 4:09
  moving forward would do us all some good because I know for
• 4:13
  certain there's one thing about my chickens that so awesome is
• 4:18
  that they always get what they want, they seem to influence me
• 4:22
  to give them what they want. Don't, they always seem to
• 4:25
  figure out how to get my attention and get extra treats
• 4:28
  and for something that is supposed to be a very simple
• 4:31
  creature, they certainly have a lot more to offer Us in lessons
• 4:35
  than I would have ever imagined in my entire life.
• 4:38
  So I'm going to tell you today, we are inspired by the chickens
• 4:42
  and what they're out there doing.
• 4:44
  I hope you guys have a very blessed day and I will see you
• 4:46
  tomorrow. Bye.
