  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop, very chilly morning out here.
• 0:33
  Spring is starting to come up, but today's chilly anyway.
• 0:38
  So today we are talking about wants versus willing to do.
• 0:43
  Now there are a lot of lessons coming up this week because I'm
• 0:46
  working on farm stuff, I'm working on redoing some things
• 0:50
  and I think there's some very valuable lessons to be brought
• 0:52
  up in this. So I'm going to be helping weave
• 0:55
  them in here as we go, because I think, I think it will be a
• 0:58
  great way and a great metaphor for everybody to see it this
• 1:01
  way. So wants versus willing to do
• 1:04
  big one for me out here on the farm because I want everything.
• 1:08
  I want this massive greenhouse. I want to have a garden that's
• 1:13
  200 by 200. I want to grow every single
• 1:16
  tomato variety that I possibly can.
• 1:19
  And I have, my father used to say all the time when I was a
• 1:23
  little girl, your eyes are bigger than your belly.
• 1:26
  And that didn't just count for ice cream, which is where he
• 1:28
  always said it to me, But it it usually shows up in a lot of
• 1:33
  places for me because I have a massive imagination.
• 1:36
  So I love the idea of being able to do more and more and more,
• 1:40
  and it becomes a sense of overwhelm.
• 1:45
  It can become a sense of overwhelm.
• 1:47
  I don't usually let it because I know how to get past these
• 1:51
  things. But really what it boils down to
• 1:53
  for me is taking wants and saying, OK, what am I willing to
• 1:58
  do to make these things take place and how much time am I
• 2:01
  willing to put into these? And that's where it always gets
• 2:04
  a little bit more. I don't want to say tricky, but
• 2:09
  you have to get to the place where you're going to be
• 2:11
  radically honest with yourself. So I am looking at having some
• 2:17
  help come in to help me put some irrigation in.
• 2:20
  Why? Because I'm not willing to do it
• 2:22
  myself. I know I need the outcome of
• 2:24
  this because it's just too much to keep up in the heat we have
• 2:28
  down South. It's just way too much to keep
• 2:31
  up with watering every single day at the level that we have to
• 2:35
  by hand. I I physically could be doing
• 2:38
  watering 8 hours a day and that's just not possible with
• 2:41
  what I have in my business and family.
• 2:44
  You know, stuff that I have to do, it being there and doing
• 2:47
  that, plus being outside in that heat is not something that I
• 2:52
  relish doing. So it's something that I have to
• 2:55
  say, OK, I'm not willing to do this.
• 2:58
  So the the way this can start off for you and how you can look
• 3:02
  at this in your life as you can look at and you may be already
• 3:05
  getting adjustments to goals for the year and saying, gosh, I
• 3:07
  didn't realize this was going to be so complex.
• 3:10
  I didn't realize this was going to take up so much time and I
• 3:12
  want to adjust my goals and that's fine.
• 3:14
  I really want you to hear me say that.
• 3:16
  It's fine. I have had more people this
• 3:19
  year, I think, than ever than have just come to the
• 3:21
  realization they have to be honest with themselves and they
• 3:23
  have to adjust their goals if they need to, so be OK with
• 3:26
  that. But this is really about saying
• 3:29
  what am I willing to do? And so I was like, I'm not
• 3:32
  willing to have another summer where I am overwhelmed with
• 3:35
  watering. I want the outcome.
• 3:37
  I am willing to do it. I I I am willing to work my butt
• 3:41
  off. But I can't do that piece of it.
• 3:44
  I'm not willing to do that piece of it and then saying, OK, now
• 3:48
  what am I going to do about that?
• 3:49
  Does that make me give up on the goal or does it make me ask for
• 3:52
  help? Does it make me say, OK, I need
• 3:55
  to go ahead and admit defeat in a certain way or admit I need
• 3:59
  help and I am very stubborn. I hate to admit that I need help
• 4:03
  like I'm I'll just, I'd rather suffer through some things than
• 4:05
  admit that I need help. And that is something when we
• 4:08
  talked about, they're all things that we, you know, don't like
• 4:10
  about ourselves. That's one of the things for me.
• 4:12
  I wish I was a little more a minimal to that.
• 4:15
  But you know, I was raised by a dad who always was like, no, you
• 4:19
  can do it. And that put me in a headspace
• 4:22
  of like, no, I can do it. Can I?
• 4:24
  Yes. Should I?
• 4:26
  Maybe not. And that's something I've had to
• 4:28
  really work towards and learn because it's part of being human
• 4:32
  to ask for help. And it also makes other people
• 4:35
  feel good when you let them help, when they when you let
• 4:37
  them have that ability to say let me help you, it it really
• 4:41
  does matter to people. They get to feel good too.
• 4:44
  So from that vein, take this on and really start looking at what
• 4:48
  are you willing to do. Not just what you want, because
• 4:52
  the wants are powerful and they will drive you incredibly
• 4:56
  insane. But you have to look at what am
• 4:58
  I willing to do and you may need to adjust.
• 5:01
  Bottom line, you may need to adjust and it's OK adjust.
• 5:05
  Ask for help. Believe me, I've got a crew of
• 5:08
  people coming here to install irrigation and I am excited
• 5:12
  about it because I recognize I wrote down This is it.
• 5:16
  You know I need help with this. So inform yourself.
• 5:20
  Give yourself that break. Figure out the difference.
• 5:24
  All right, my friends, I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:26
  I hope you have a blessed day. Bye.
