  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So food for thought today. What does complaining do for
• 0:35
  you? What does gratitude do for you?
• 0:38
  So it's been said that gratitude is serving the law of increase.
• 0:43
  Meaning you're so grateful for all of what you have and all the
• 0:46
  small things that you will automatically increase just
• 0:49
  because you have. Gratitude and complaining is
• 0:54
  serving the law of decrease. Meaning you don't like what you
• 0:57
  have, so it's going to be, you know, taken away.
• 1:00
  You're going to just watch everything melt away.
• 1:02
  The more you complain, the more things get out of hand, the more
• 1:07
  you lose. And I love the thoughts of this.
• 1:11
  And I love. That it brings so much to us
• 1:14
  when we start to realize that that's the case, because it is
• 1:17
  100% true that there is something to be said for people
• 1:21
  who complain find more to complain about.
• 1:24
  We. Most of us have heard that
• 1:25
  phrase before, and the truth is that that is not an accident.
• 1:31
  When people complain, when they find things to just constantly
• 1:35
  talk about and complain about, what they're doing is setting in
• 1:38
  motion. The energy of the universe, law
• 1:41
  of attraction to say, oh, that's what I want, even though that's
• 1:44
  not what they want, it's irrelevant because it wherever
• 1:47
  your energy goes, something is going to happen with that.
• 1:50
  So where your emotions go, energy flows.
• 1:53
  So if your emotions are about complaining, guess what's going
• 1:56
  to happen? You're going to get more things
• 1:58
  to complain about. And guess what?
• 2:00
  Life is not going to be the way you want it to be, and you're
• 2:02
  going to be. Absolutely.
• 2:04
  On the decrease, you're not going to be increasing, You're
• 2:07
  going to be decreasing. And I can guarantee you that
• 2:10
  sucks and you are going to feel awful about it.
• 2:14
  So why do we do it? Why do we do this anyway?
• 2:16
  Well, it's a habit. Complaining is a habit.
• 2:19
  It's a way people connect. And it is an awful, ugly habit.
• 2:23
  And I just, I I found over the years, the older I get, the more
• 2:28
  I cannot be around people that complain.
• 2:30
  I just can't. It's like having, you know, the
• 2:35
  black cloud move in and you just like, Oh no.
• 2:39
  And you don't want to stand next to them at a party.
• 2:41
  You certainly don't want to sit next to them.
• 2:42
  You don't want to get on the phone with them.
• 2:44
  You don't want to hear them talk about their problems all the
• 2:46
  time. You don't want to hear them talk
• 2:49
  about, you know, even the worries, like worries are just
• 2:53
  an extension of the problem because they haven't even
• 2:55
  happened yet. But you're going to bring them
• 2:56
  in. So you're activating the law of
• 2:59
  decrease. Every time you do this, when you
• 3:03
  step into gratitude, you activate the law of increase.
• 3:07
  So you're grateful. And it might not be.
• 3:10
  Listen, things happen. I can tell you I have lots of
• 3:12
  negative things happen in my life.
• 3:15
  And guess what? I always find things to
• 3:18
  positively outweigh them. And it doesn't matter what it
• 3:21
  is, OK? You know, the other day I was
• 3:24
  stupid example, but pertinent. I came out to the chicken coop.
• 3:28
  And I everybody's lots of chickens are molting right now.
• 3:32
  It's been so hot. It's been gross, so humid.
• 3:35
  And if I were them, I would feel like crap being out here all the
• 3:38
  time too. Well, they're out.
• 3:40
  They're all hiding, you know, they're doing their thing.
• 3:42
  And I go to collect eggs and we have an abundance of chickens, I
• 3:48
  think 43 right this minute. And I go.
• 3:51
  You would think I, and most of them should be laying eggs.
• 3:55
  I go and they're only 10 eggs and I'm like, Oh my gosh, we
• 3:59
  only got 10 eggs. That sucks.
• 4:02
  Now, first of all, I don't eat 10 eggs a day.
• 4:05
  And I don't sell my eggs. I give them away.
• 4:07
  So what am I complaining about? Why am I even recognizing that?
• 4:11
  And I and the second I said, I said to myself, why are you even
• 4:14
  saying something like that? What is the difference?
• 4:17
  It doesn't even matter. We don't eat 10 eggs a day.
• 4:20
  And I was like, huh? That's interesting.
• 4:23
  Instantly I turned around and said I'm grateful for the 10
• 4:25
  eggs that I have. I'm so grateful for the 10 eggs
• 4:28
  that I have. Next day I came out 22 eggs.
• 4:32
  Now one could sit there and say. They would have done that
• 4:35
  anyway. And maybe, maybe that's true.
• 4:37
  But here's what I know to be true.
• 4:39
  I felt better the moment I changed my attitude about it.
• 4:42
  I felt better the moment I decided to focus on the
• 4:45
  gratitude for the 10 that I had and not bitch about the 22 that
• 4:49
  I didn't get, or the 30 that I didn't get or the 40 that I
• 4:52
  didn't get. What I did was I focused on
• 4:54
  something else. And that's the key to the whole
• 4:57
  entire thing. That is the key.
• 5:00
  So when you start to hear yourself in your head, catch
• 5:03
  yourself and say, am I working towards my increase or my
• 5:07
  decrease? Am I focused on my complaining
• 5:10
  or my gratitude? Am I cultivating the habit of
• 5:13
  gratitude or my cultivating the habit of complaining, which
• 5:18
  sucks and nobody likes it. I can guarantee you, if you're
• 5:22
  out there complaining, nobody wants to be around you.
• 5:25
  So stop it, OK? Anyway.
• 5:30
  Go out, find this for yourself. Check in with yourself and see
• 5:34
  if you are on the increase or the decrease.
• 5:37
  All right my friends, I hope you have a magical day and I will
• 5:40
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
