1:34
SPEAKER_01: Oh, well, I'm so excited.
1:36
SPEAKER_01: It's not like every dream of mine comes true.
1:38
SPEAKER_01: Let me just start with that.
1:39
SPEAKER_01: You know, it's not like I'm like, oh, I'm going to, I don't know, not have to mow my lawn today.
1:44
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
1:45
SPEAKER_01: Those things don't happen just like that.
1:47
SPEAKER_01: But I'm excited to talk about how we can envision things and watch them come to pass.
1:54
SPEAKER_01: Um, it's actually a beautiful, vibrant way that contributes to my vibrant health, I think, is the knowing that I am a um I have agency.
2:03
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you you're you're you're one of the most uh depressing kind of people I've ever met.
2:08
SPEAKER_04: I mean, you know, when you get around you, you just you just go into a funk, right?
2:12
SPEAKER_04: And and so so um I can't imagine a better teacher or mentor on this topic than you because you just you just energize and light up any room you walk into.
2:23
SPEAKER_04: So so uh so it's wonderful to to to have your I mean if you've got uh tricks for that, um we're we're all ears, I think.
2:31
SPEAKER_04: So you don't have to.
2:32
SPEAKER_03: Well yes, definitely.
2:33
SPEAKER_03: And one of the things we wanted to tap into in your massive toolbox was at the summit, you talked about practical ways to actually make your dreams come true.
2:44
SPEAKER_03: But you also need to know your purpose, right?
2:48
SPEAKER_03: A lot of us are searching for our purpose in life, and that's what I'm hoping you're gonna talk about today, because I know you have some trick up your sleeve to help us find our own purpose.
2:57
SPEAKER_01: I do, I do, and then I'm gonna go back to Disney World.
3:01
SPEAKER_02: We're not happy enough for you.
3:02
SPEAKER_02: We're at polyface.
3:04
SPEAKER_02: It is the happiest place on earth.
3:06
SPEAKER_01: But I just gotta put on my Winnie the Pooh costume and walk around the park.
3:09
SPEAKER_01: Um, no, that's probably A.A.
3:11
SPEAKER_01: Mel and something else altogether.
3:13
SPEAKER_01: But I do want to start with a story, you guys.
3:15
SPEAKER_01: I do want to start with how last year I was in Mongolia with the Kazakh eagle hunters.
3:22
SPEAKER_01: And these are not nomadic people that hunt eagles.
3:26
SPEAKER_01: The name sounds a little misleading.
3:28
SPEAKER_01: They use the eagles to hunt prey for food and for fur.
3:33
SPEAKER_01: What they do is they train them, they get these little eaglets.
3:37
SPEAKER_01: Yes, they get the little eaglets out of the nest, literally when they're just like under a year, and then they put a little hood on them and they give them food and they train them.
3:44
SPEAKER_01: And soon enough the little eaglet grows bigger and bigger and learns to respond to the master's call will come because they know they're gonna give you a piece of rabbit or whatever.
3:53
SPEAKER_01: And then soon the eagle is able to go further afar and bring back what the Kazakh people need.
4:00
SPEAKER_01: I mean, it was amazing.
4:01
SPEAKER_01: I couldn't believe I was with them.
4:02
SPEAKER_01: Um but actually I can believe does each family have one?
4:06
SPEAKER_04: I mean, how many That's a good question.
4:08
SPEAKER_01: That's a good question.
4:09
SPEAKER_01: I think it's kind of a specialty, kind of like not everyone in the U.S.
4:12
SPEAKER_01: has a farm, although we could and we should.
4:14
SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's one of our dreams that should be having a farm.
4:17
SPEAKER_04: Um, we we need engineers, we need, you know, we need people to build things.
4:21
SPEAKER_04: Now I I I I I think I don't think we need to all be farmers, but anyway, we need carpenters and electricians and and certainly we need plumbers.
4:28
SPEAKER_01: Yes, that's right.
4:30
SPEAKER_01: We do.
4:30
SPEAKER_01: We need all those things.
4:31
SPEAKER_01: So some people are eagle hunters, some people are just courting their camels and their yak and stuff.
4:36
SPEAKER_01: It's a craft.
4:38
SPEAKER_01: It is a craft.
4:39
SPEAKER_01: And so there I was in this Western Mongolia, it is like one of the most sparsely populated places on the planet.
4:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
4:46
SPEAKER_01: Literally, you would drive for kilometers and kilometers and you wouldn't see a soul.
4:50
SPEAKER_01: More than Montana.
4:52
SPEAKER_01: Um, more than Montana, yes.
4:54
SPEAKER_01: And there I was with these eagle hunters, we would get a big plate of food on the table, and it was just like all what they had.
5:01
SPEAKER_01: It was all meat and fat and that animal products, that's all they had.
5:04
SPEAKER_01: And so they were like scooping out the brains and handing them to me.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: I'm like, thank you, thank you very much.
5:09
SPEAKER_01: Um I was eating it, did you?
5:10
SPEAKER_01: Yes, I did, because I always tell myself I'm gonna eat whatever is put in front of me.
5:13
SPEAKER_01: And I mean, I like organ meats, um, but you know, it kind of pushes my limits sometimes.
5:19
SPEAKER_01: But speaking of pushing limits, so how did I get to Mongolia?
5:22
SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, I'm not independently wealthy per se, and I don't, I don't know, I don't have like all these means to make things happen, but I have the same thing that brought people to Polyphase this weekend.
5:33
SPEAKER_01: I started with the vision, with the idea, and then you start toying around with it, like, hey, how can I get to polyphase?
5:39
SPEAKER_01: You know, do we have that weekend for you?
5:40
SPEAKER_01: We do, how are we gonna work that out?
5:42
SPEAKER_01: Then they buy the tickets and then they show up.
5:44
SPEAKER_01: They make it happen.
5:45
SPEAKER_01: So they don't just dream it, they take steps to get there.
5:48
SPEAKER_01: And so with Mongolia, my friend Mary Ruddick actually planted the idea of coming to Mongolia.
5:53
SPEAKER_01: I didn't even know where Mongolia was, honestly.
5:54
SPEAKER_01: I had to look it up on the map.
5:56
SPEAKER_01: You Dora the Explorer 2.0.
5:58
SPEAKER_01: You didn't know 3.0 Well, no, 3.0 no.
6:02
SPEAKER_01: I'm 2.0.
6:03
SPEAKER_01: Um I was like, she was saying to me, Do you want to come to Mongolia?
6:05
SPEAKER_01: I was like, sure.
6:06
SPEAKER_01: And then I was like, okay, but between Russia and China, you know, finding out all the things about it.
6:10
SPEAKER_01: But so she gave me the idea, but my first answer to her was no.
6:14
SPEAKER_01: Because I had other things on my schedule.
6:16
SPEAKER_01: I wasn't sure, but then I started imagining myself there, and I thought, oh, like my mind is gonna be blown.
6:21
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna experience so many beautiful things that I don't even know.
6:23
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna be humbled and like in awe of it all, I'm going.
6:27
SPEAKER_01: And that's when I determined, okay, I'm gonna buy my tickets, I'm gonna cancel the things on my schedule, and then I showed up there.
6:33
SPEAKER_04: And so this is a good little spot to break.
6:36
SPEAKER_04: So you know you gotta turn around and see what's happening.
6:39
SPEAKER_02: Oh they came back to me.
6:42
SPEAKER_02: You envision that.
6:45
SPEAKER_04: I'm surprised because it's it's hot and you'd think they'd be pulled up under that shade tree.
6:51
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
6:52
SPEAKER_04: But uh, but they're they're they're coming out to make the show.
6:55
SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's so great.
6:56
SPEAKER_01: Well, welcome to be on labels, y'all.
6:58
SPEAKER_03: So that's how you all these are our supporting actors.
7:01
SPEAKER_03: We need to pay them.
7:03
SPEAKER_03: I will pay you in hugs if you come near me.
7:06
SPEAKER_01: I used to be um doing some modest acting in my community, and you know what they call the the actors who are like the secondary players?
7:16
SPEAKER_01: Background.
7:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but okay, background.
7:18
SPEAKER_01: I was like, wait, I thought it was talent.
7:20
SPEAKER_03: I want to go lay down now.
7:21
SPEAKER_03: If I lay right here, do you think they'll come up?
7:24
SPEAKER_03: Probably not.
7:25
unknown: No.
7:26
SPEAKER_02: Well, this is not gonna help me manifest my dreams.
7:28
SPEAKER_02: You're doubting my dream, Joel.
7:30
SPEAKER_02: That's right.
7:31
SPEAKER_02: Lay down.
7:31
SPEAKER_02: Lay down and make it happen.
7:33
SPEAKER_02: Come on, hilarious, we'll just lay down right there.
7:35
SPEAKER_04: If if you if you walked right out there about 15 feet and lie down, don't lay down, lie down.
7:43
SPEAKER_01: What does that mean?
7:44
SPEAKER_01: What's the difference?
7:45
SPEAKER_04: Grammar.
7:45
SPEAKER_04: Grammar.
7:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's grammar.
7:47
SPEAKER_04: Lay down means you're gonna lay an egg.
7:49
SPEAKER_04: Oh, so that's something you do.
7:50
SPEAKER_04: Oh, so lie down is at rest.
7:52
SPEAKER_04: Oh, I don't like a lie because it sounds like a lie.
7:54
SPEAKER_04: No, no, no.
7:55
SPEAKER_04: Go down here about 15 feet very gently, and just and just lie down for for about for about three or four minutes.
8:01
SPEAKER_04: See you see what happens.
8:02
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
8:02
SPEAKER_04: Keep going a little bit longer, a little bit farther, a little bit more.
8:06
SPEAKER_04: Right.
8:09
SPEAKER_04: A little bit more, a little bit more.
8:11
SPEAKER_04: They're still okay.
8:13
SPEAKER_04: A little bit more.
8:15
SPEAKER_04: Okay, all right, now lie down, lie down.
8:18
SPEAKER_04: They're starting to respond to you.
8:19
SPEAKER_04: They're starting to respond.
8:20
SPEAKER_04: Now lie down, lie down.
8:22
SPEAKER_04: Okay, just lie down and be still.
8:24
SPEAKER_01: Be totally still So basically this dreams thing, it happens all the time.
8:51
SPEAKER_01: You think, what should we have for dinner?
8:52
SPEAKER_01: Mmm, what about hamburgers?
8:54
SPEAKER_01: Okay, you know, so some of us process the cow and then prevent some of us go to the grocery store and buy the meat.
9:00
SPEAKER_01: But the point is, we end up with a meat, we make the burgers, we have exactly what we envision.
9:04
SPEAKER_01: So this is not something weird.
9:05
SPEAKER_01: Some people like to label it like manifesting.
9:08
SPEAKER_01: I see it more as kind of goal setting or vision casting and then taking steps to make it reality.
9:14
SPEAKER_01: So Cena just a minute ago had this dream, right, Cina?
9:17
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
9:18
SPEAKER_03: Yes, I wanted to lay down with the cows, but be like Joel, basically, and have the cows come to me.
9:26
SPEAKER_03: And my doubting partner there said it wouldn't happen, but we just know.
9:32
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I I didn't think I thought it was maybe too hot, but when they started coming up, I thought, I thought, you know what, they they just might do this.
9:38
SPEAKER_04: They're obviously curious, they don't they they're not fearful of us.
9:42
SPEAKER_01: And then he was supporting because he told you steps to do.
9:45
SPEAKER_01: He's like, do this, stop there, lay down, be still, you know, all the things.
9:49
SPEAKER_01: So sometimes you do have friends that are gonna help you out, and you will have doubting Thomas's.
9:53
SPEAKER_01: But I suggest I joke.
9:54
SPEAKER_01: Joel is not my doubting Thomas, obviously.
9:56
SPEAKER_01: You know, no, that's that's Tom Cowan, but that's another story.
10:01
SPEAKER_01: He told me, he said they used to call me Doubting Thomas because they asked so many questions.
10:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
10:06
SPEAKER_01: And honestly, well, I could go on about different things there, but anyway.
10:09
SPEAKER_01: Um, so it is okay to, as I say, doubt your beliefs or whatever, but a car will only go where you steer it.
10:16
SPEAKER_01: Same with a tractor, same with your life.
10:18
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
10:18
SPEAKER_01: So you need to have a vision.
10:20
SPEAKER_01: And so I want to say start small.
10:22
SPEAKER_01: We'll talk about the purpose thing in a bit, Cena.
10:24
SPEAKER_01: But right now, I just want to say pick something small that you're like, gosh, I wish that relationship were improved, or I wish this health goal were being achieved on my part, or that I picked up that instrument so long ago that I set aside, you know.
10:35
SPEAKER_01: So start with something small, but maybe beyond what you think is possible, because it's fun to have dreams that are bigger than yourself.
10:42
SPEAKER_01: And so, first thing you do is envision it.
10:45
SPEAKER_01: Do you want to do it right now?
10:45
SPEAKER_01: It's a little bit like a game, it's a little bit like a workshop.
10:47
SPEAKER_01: But so let's all think of one thing that we would like to see come to fruition.
10:52
SPEAKER_01: Just a vision.
10:52
SPEAKER_01: It's like planting a seed.
10:54
SPEAKER_01: And those of you who are listening or watching, you can just pause here and then come back and take as much time as you'd like.
11:00
SPEAKER_01: But the idea is once you have that idea in your head, that's great.
11:04
SPEAKER_01: And you can even make it more like reality by envisioning what it would feel like when that happened.
11:09
SPEAKER_01: You know, what will it smell like?
11:11
SPEAKER_01: Explore the senses of it, what will it taste like?
11:13
SPEAKER_01: What will that experience be like when I'm reconnected with that uncle?
11:17
SPEAKER_01: You know, what and it can really only be something, by the way, that's within your power to control.
11:21
SPEAKER_01: Like I can't say, I wish my neighbor would move away, you know.
11:25
SPEAKER_01: That's also negative.
11:26
SPEAKER_01: I'd rather think about something positive that's somewhat within my realm of possibilities.
11:30
SPEAKER_04: Like within your sphere of influence, a la Stephen Covey.
11:34
SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes, yes.
11:34
SPEAKER_01: So I can't make him move away, but what if I changed my side of the street?
11:39
SPEAKER_01: What if I were like more loving toward him or her?
11:42
SPEAKER_01: What if I thought, okay, let me see if I can invite them periodically to do things.
11:47
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, if I wanted to improve that, I can only take responsibility for my end of it.
11:50
SPEAKER_01: So once you have that idea, the next thing is write it down.
11:54
SPEAKER_01: We don't all have writing utensils right now, but you would really write it down.
11:57
SPEAKER_01: Why?
11:57
SPEAKER_01: Because it takes it from the sphere of imagination to something more concrete that you can see.
12:02
SPEAKER_01: And then you can look at it regularly, and that is part of making the dream come true.
12:07
SPEAKER_01: And then you start taking steps to see it to fruition.
12:10
SPEAKER_04: I've heard it said that if you don't if you don't post your dream on the refrigerator door, it'll never happen.
12:16
SPEAKER_04: In other words, somewhere it needs to be posted so you can so you can see it.
12:19
SPEAKER_04: And that's why mission statements are so important.
12:22
SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes.
12:23
SPEAKER_01: And that's one of the part of the purpose exercise that we'll do later.
12:26
SPEAKER_01: So I like this because to me it melds faith and then even people who are not in the Christian faith paradigm.
12:32
SPEAKER_01: Why?
12:32
SPEAKER_01: Well, the Bible says without a vision the people perish.
12:34
SPEAKER_01: Right.
12:34
SPEAKER_01: You know, and that we're supposed to keep our eyes on Christ.
12:36
SPEAKER_01: You know, so there's a lot of talk about focus there.
12:39
SPEAKER_01: Um, I run the race with endurance, the Apostle Paul said, you know, keeping my eyes fixed on um the creator and sustainer of life, so so to speak.
12:47
SPEAKER_01: That was a little held a translation.
12:49
SPEAKER_01: But um, you know, so you've got to know what you're doing and what you're about and where you're headed.
12:54
SPEAKER_01: And um, so it's kind of a form of prayer, too, I think.
12:57
SPEAKER_01: And then for people who are like, oh, this is not my paradigm, this is not my thing, well, just think of it as a way of goal setting or um vision casting, something you can accomplish, or some people like to think of it as manifesting, where you're speaking something or saying something, and that makes it more likely to happen.
13:13
SPEAKER_01: Can I tell you a fun story?
13:15
SPEAKER_01: I haven't told this on your show, I don't think.
13:18
SPEAKER_01: So, okay, what happened was back in the day I was, you know, single and ready to mingle, and um, I was hanging with some friends, and we were like, let's do something crazy.
13:26
SPEAKER_01: Let's go into David's village and bridal shop and have one of us try on wedding dresses, even though none of us had prospects or anything.
13:32
SPEAKER_01: I mean, we were attractive people, but it just hadn't happened yet.
13:35
SPEAKER_01: So um I was like, me, me, me, I'm gonna do what I want to do with it.
13:38
SPEAKER_01: So I grabbed my friend's grandmother's ring, put it on my engagement finger, and we went into the bridal shop and I started trying on dresses.
13:43
SPEAKER_01: So fun.
13:44
SPEAKER_01: We're like giggling behind the sales lady's back, like, ha ha, she doesn't know I'm not really getting married, ha ha ha ha.
13:49
SPEAKER_01: Having a great time.
13:50
SPEAKER_01: Until a friend of ours walked into this place and she didn't know what we were up to.
13:55
SPEAKER_01: And I was like, oh no.
13:56
SPEAKER_01: Oh she's gonna tip off the sales lady, we're gonna get thrown out.
13:59
SPEAKER_01: I didn't know what was gonna happen.
14:00
SPEAKER_01: Are we gonna get arrested?
14:01
SPEAKER_01: End up in jail, you know, fake bride, incarcerated for a hundred days.
14:05
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, I didn't know what was gonna happen.
14:06
SPEAKER_01: So I decided to be proactive and I ran up to her and I was like, Susie, Susie, you'll never guess who I'm marrying.
14:12
SPEAKER_01: Mitch Gore.
14:14
SPEAKER_01: And I said it because he was the last person I thought I would marry.
14:18
SPEAKER_01: I mean, no offense to the man.
14:19
SPEAKER_01: But I just thought, oh, she'll know I'm joking.
14:22
SPEAKER_01: She'll know I'm just teasing and playing around, so it'll be like a ha ha ha ha.
14:25
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
14:26
SPEAKER_04: Well But it'll keep you from being thrown out of the strown out of the store.
14:29
SPEAKER_01: And so she would just think, okay, I'm just making a joke or whatever.
14:31
SPEAKER_01: He was a friendly guy in our group together, but I didn't think anything of it.
14:34
SPEAKER_01: And then within three years, I married Mitch Gore.
14:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
14:37
SPEAKER_01: I married Mitch Gore.
14:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
14:38
SPEAKER_01: And I said to my pastor, what happened?
14:40
SPEAKER_01: What if I had said someone else's name?
14:42
SPEAKER_01: Would I have married them?
14:42
SPEAKER_01: He couldn't say.
14:43
SPEAKER_01: But but I do think there's power in our words.
14:47
SPEAKER_01: Think about the times when you're looking for a parking spot and you're like, oh, I never find parking spots.
14:51
SPEAKER_01: I'm not lucky.
14:52
SPEAKER_01: Well, you're reinforcing that neural pathway to bring a little science into it.
14:55
SPEAKER_01: But when you think, Oh, I'm lucky, or I always get exactly what I need at exactly the right time, that doesn't erase the old pathway from what I've heard from the folks I've interviewed on my own podcast, but it builds a new one.
15:07
SPEAKER_01: Right.
15:08
SPEAKER_01: It builds a new one.
15:08
SPEAKER_01: So you're you're not in the old, same old rut anymore.
15:11
SPEAKER_01: You've got a new pattern.
15:12
SPEAKER_01: Like for people who want to start exercising, they say, lay out your tennis shoes and your gym clothes right by your bed.
15:17
SPEAKER_01: So it's a trigger to get you moving in the right direction.
15:19
SPEAKER_01: It's a reminder, and then you do it, right?
15:22
SPEAKER_04: So Yeah, I was tell uh yesterday in in the on the farm tour at the at the summit on the farm tour, I was telling everybody that that um you know I used to get all depressed at at at we've just come through a drought.
15:33
SPEAKER_04: Now we've just had a bunch of rain this week, but we were irrigating on Monday, you know, a few days ago.
15:39
SPEAKER_04: And uh and it was really dry.
15:40
SPEAKER_04: And I used to get so depressed at dry, you know, there's nothing you can do about it.
15:43
SPEAKER_04: You know, you can't at least I don't know anything you can do about it.
15:47
SPEAKER_04: I mean practice specifically.
15:49
SPEAKER_04: And um and a couple of years ago, uh you know, it dawned on me, well, droughts always end.
15:58
SPEAKER_04: They always end at some point.
16:00
SPEAKER_04: And so now instead of being all depressed about a drought, oh another day with no you know, rain, now I come in and I say, Oh boy, we're one butt day closer to rain.
16:08
SPEAKER_04: You know, what a di I mean that it just completely changes your your outlook to uh to to take it that direction.
16:16
SPEAKER_03: And what happens when you shift your perception too, you shift the emotion that's attached to it.
16:22
SPEAKER_03: And manifesting or you know, achieving your dreams is largely hinged upon the attached elevated emotion behind it, correct?
16:32
SPEAKER_01: That's what Joe Dispenza says.
16:33
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
16:34
SPEAKER_01: He uh wrote the book, um what's it called?
16:37
SPEAKER_01: Oh, breaking the habit of being yourself, but he's also written others anyway, and he talks a lot about that.
16:42
SPEAKER_01: He says, make a mini movie.
16:44
SPEAKER_01: So I do like right now, honestly.
16:46
SPEAKER_01: Um you know, my husband's struggling with a little arthritis, and so what I do, this is not within my control, granted, this is a little different, but I do picture us years from now, like holding hands, walking on the beach, he's pain-free, he's healthy.
16:57
SPEAKER_01: Why?
16:58
SPEAKER_01: Because what if my mind movie actually also helps him?
17:01
SPEAKER_01: I have a vision for him.
17:02
SPEAKER_01: Think about the paralytic who had his friends lower him to see Jesus into this house.
17:06
SPEAKER_01: They cut open a hole in the roof, so they weren't just hoping Jesus would see him, they made a way, right?
17:11
SPEAKER_01: But they also were carrying him because he couldn't do it himself.
17:14
SPEAKER_01: So this is again, you know, kind of part and parcel of prayer and vision casting and all that.
17:19
SPEAKER_01: It's like, oh, I'm picturing this for him, and I'm picturing great things for the world, by the way, too.
17:24
SPEAKER_01: So the third steps, you envision it, you write it down, think about the emotions.
17:29
SPEAKER_01: I like that, Cena, and then you also speak it out loud.
17:33
SPEAKER_01: Because when you speak it, there's power in that.
17:35
SPEAKER_01: Think about it.
17:36
SPEAKER_01: God, when he made creation, he could have just thought about it like he wanted light to come.
17:41
SPEAKER_01: But he said, Let there be light.
17:42
SPEAKER_01: He spoke it.
17:43
SPEAKER_01: So, in the same way, we have power in what we say.
17:46
SPEAKER_01: So, um, do one of you want to share a dream?
17:49
SPEAKER_01: And and it's it's a little vulnerable, actually.
17:52
SPEAKER_01: So you don't have to.
17:53
SPEAKER_01: I can I have a million.
17:55
SPEAKER_03: Your dream because you haven't you're you you're sitting amongst what most people would dream about.
18:01
SPEAKER_03: So what could you possibly dream?
18:03
SPEAKER_03: Do you have something you strive for?
18:05
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so so one of my dreams is to have a a um a genuine uh grass-based competitor to McDonald's.
18:15
SPEAKER_04: Oh, like a restaurant.
18:18
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, to a McDonald's restaurant.
18:20
SPEAKER_04: Imagine if next to every McDonald's there was actually one that had local grass-finished uh beef burgers.
18:28
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
18:29
SPEAKER_04: I mean, would that not be cool?
18:31
SPEAKER_01: That would be amazing.
18:32
SPEAKER_01: And what's so fun, by sharing it, first of all, we get excited about it.
18:35
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
18:35
SPEAKER_01: And so that kind of stokes your fire.
18:37
SPEAKER_01: But then who knows if someone watching this podcast is like, I've been thinking about that too.
18:42
SPEAKER_01: And there can be this kind of synergistic collaboration, and then it comes to pass, right?
18:46
SPEAKER_01: So, oh my gosh, that's so phenomenal.
18:48
SPEAKER_03: So you're wanting to do it yourself, or you want some you want it to be.
18:51
SPEAKER_03: I don't care.
18:51
SPEAKER_03: You want it to see it.
18:52
SPEAKER_03: I don't care.
18:53
SPEAKER_04: I don't know, I don't want to own it necessarily.
18:54
SPEAKER_04: I I just I just want it to happen.
18:57
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
18:57
SPEAKER_04: So, you know, um I'd love one to start here in Stanton.
19:01
SPEAKER_04: We've got beef, pork, and chicken.
19:03
SPEAKER_04: Yeah uh and we can expand a lot.
19:06
SPEAKER_04: And uh we've been blessed with a lot of experience.
19:08
SPEAKER_04: Well, one of the biggest issues with these, I mean, there have been numerous, you know, kind of uh whatever uh poking around this this idea, but um but typically they uh they're launched by people that don't have enough supply or don't have enough experience to maintain a a uh an authentic protocol.
19:28
SPEAKER_04: And so the next thing you know, they overrun their authentic supply and then they're compromising.
19:33
SPEAKER_04: And and so um so I think I think we have we're uh unusually positioned in that we have the capacity for for all that here.
19:42
SPEAKER_04: Uh anyway, um I've I've I've talked to people, you know, uh wherever I go and and um it's it's just an idea I throw out into the into the universe.
19:52
SPEAKER_01: That's wonderful.
19:53
SPEAKER_04: And uh there it is.
19:54
SPEAKER_01: It reminds me of a friend of mine whose kids had some sensitivities, gluten, and whatnot.
19:58
SPEAKER_01: I think you guys just did a podcast on that.
20:00
SPEAKER_01: Um, and she said she wanted to start a chain called instead of celiac, which is what they call the disease, celiac disease, they were gonna call it celia yak.
20:09
SPEAKER_01: And then like have a yak as a logo, and no everyone going there would know all the things are gluten-free.
20:14
SPEAKER_01: Isn't that interesting?
20:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
20:16
SPEAKER_01: So if anybody wants to pick that one up.
20:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:19
SPEAKER_04: So um, yeah, so there's so so Hilda, I've gone clear to I've got, I've actually done business plans.
20:24
SPEAKER_04: You know, how many, how many burgers do you have to serve it a day, at what margin, in order to, in order to pay for, you know, in order to make it work, to pay the rent, the utility, and the and and the person doing it, you know.
20:34
SPEAKER_04: So I've got, you know, I've been I've been putting this together for some time, and um, and yeah, we just we just need to make it happen.
20:43
SPEAKER_01: That's beautiful, that's awesome.
20:45
SPEAKER_01: And yeah, notice that you said some people might get started in that direction, but lose steam or compromise because they hadn't thought through all the details.
20:52
SPEAKER_01: So again, this doesn't mean you don't do any work.
20:55
SPEAKER_01: Right.
20:55
SPEAKER_01: Um they also say, don't they say, you know, pray as if it all depends on God and act as if it all depends on God.
21:00
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's right.
21:01
SPEAKER_04: That's good.
21:01
SPEAKER_04: That's really good.
21:02
SPEAKER_01: A really good balance in there.
21:04
SPEAKER_01: Um, so um, yeah, so I think this kind of leads us also to the the purposing.
21:08
SPEAKER_01: Do you want to segue to that?
21:10
SPEAKER_01: So, what if you're like, okay, my little dream was modest and actually mine was because I my heels been bothering me a little bit.
21:16
SPEAKER_01: So I was like, oh, I just want to be able to hike in Switzerland in three weeks.
21:18
SPEAKER_01: I think I can do it.
21:19
SPEAKER_01: I mean, and I'm I'm confident it will happen.
21:21
SPEAKER_01: Um and I'm telling you all this, so in three weeks, look for pictures of me on Instagram hiking through the Swiss Alps.
21:26
SPEAKER_01: Um so that's awesome.
21:27
SPEAKER_01: That's no big deal.
21:28
SPEAKER_01: Uh but sometimes we have we need more clarity for okay, we have an idea for some small things, but what am I here for?
21:35
SPEAKER_01: You know, what am I doing?
21:36
SPEAKER_01: I think the reason people feel depressed and anxious is because they don't know where they're going.
21:40
SPEAKER_01: They're like, Okay, every day seems the same.
21:42
SPEAKER_01: I'm feeding my kids, I'm doing this and that, but I don't have a sense of mission or purpose.
21:46
SPEAKER_01: By the way, feeding your kids is an incredibly important mission, and that may be it for now.
21:51
SPEAKER_01: I also think God can put different things on your hearts for different seasons, right?
21:55
SPEAKER_01: Um sure.
21:56
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I mean, can there be a better, a better mission than than just a simple I want healthy flourishing kids.
22:03
SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh, no, that would be a lot of people.
22:04
SPEAKER_04: That's a huge legacy.
22:07
SPEAKER_04: I mean, what parent wouldn't want healthy, flourishing kids?
22:11
SPEAKER_04: That would be cool.
22:12
SPEAKER_03: And that's a full-time job.
22:13
SPEAKER_03: That is a full-time job.
22:14
SPEAKER_03: There's so many facets to health.
22:17
SPEAKER_03: That it's full-time.
22:18
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, absolutely.
22:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so 100%.
22:21
SPEAKER_01: And so, and but and let's say, and so for a time for me, that was it.
22:24
SPEAKER_01: My kids are grown now, so they're like, we don't need your help, we're healthy and flourishing.
22:29
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
22:30
SPEAKER_01: That mission has been accomplished.
22:32
SPEAKER_01: But how do you figure out?
22:34
SPEAKER_01: Um, I would say, um, and you said it yesterday very well on the mountainside, it starts with being still.
22:41
SPEAKER_01: Um, the Bible says, Be still and know that I am God.
22:44
SPEAKER_01: And when I was in Australia, an Aboriginal woman of the Nengai tribe said to me, In our culture, we have a tradition of um the diri, which is deep listening.
22:55
SPEAKER_01: And she said, So we are still because we might hear exactly what we're supposed to be doing.
23:00
SPEAKER_01: We might hear the voice of our ancestors, she said, or the voice of God, or our conscience, you know, something to guide us.
23:05
SPEAKER_01: Because it's hard on our own, and some dreams are too big for just us, right?
23:09
SPEAKER_01: So I think stillness is important.
23:12
SPEAKER_01: I also think gratitude is important.
23:14
SPEAKER_01: And that's actually the secret sauce, even for the mini goals.
23:17
SPEAKER_01: So, I mean, I I do hope my hair will be better.
23:19
SPEAKER_01: I do believe it will be better.
23:20
SPEAKER_01: But in the meantime, am I thankful for right now?
23:22
SPEAKER_01: 100%.
23:23
SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm not going to just wait and be happy when that gets accomplished.
23:26
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to be happy and grateful now.
23:28
SPEAKER_01: Every day I write in my gratitude journal because that's kind of a secret sauce that also boosts our immune health, however, you want to look at that system.
23:35
SPEAKER_01: It boosts the immune health and your spirit and your mood and all the things.
23:39
SPEAKER_01: Because I could be a downer if I were like, oh, my heel hurts, the summit's over, life is hard.
23:44
SPEAKER_01: But instead, I'm like, wow, I get more time with you all, and I mean my heel hurts a little, but it's getting better, you know, and so those things help me be positive.
23:51
SPEAKER_01: Gratitude.
23:52
SPEAKER_03: And I'll piggyback on that.
23:54
SPEAKER_03: Not only gratitude for, you know, all things in your life, but what I have found that has helped manifest those dreams into a reality is to express gratitude for the dream as though it already happened.
24:05
SPEAKER_03: That's the real trick behind it.
24:08
SPEAKER_03: You envision it as though it's happened, and you attach the elevated emotion of gratitude to that visual in your mind.
24:17
SPEAKER_03: And the body doesn't know the difference.
24:19
SPEAKER_03: So the body thinks it's happening right then.
24:21
SPEAKER_04: So I'm supposed to be thankful for the McDonald's counterpart.
24:23
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
24:24
SPEAKER_03: You visualize it and you attach it to the point where like I can't do it.
24:28
SPEAKER_03: I can do one healthy thing.
24:29
SPEAKER_03: You could do it.
24:30
SPEAKER_03: And so when Joe Dispenza talks about it, he talks about like when he healed, you know, his spine, right?
24:35
SPEAKER_03: Like he was paralyzed.
24:36
SPEAKER_03: When he healed his spine, he visualized it coming together, and he felt so much gratitude.
24:41
SPEAKER_03: Like he you have to practice it, right?
24:43
SPEAKER_03: He felt so much gratitude, he would bring himself to tears.
24:46
SPEAKER_01: So this is faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
24:50
SPEAKER_01: So this is not something, again, super strange.
24:52
SPEAKER_01: It's actually tangible, and I would say within a Christian framework.
24:55
SPEAKER_01: So you're exactly right.
24:57
SPEAKER_01: You're you're hoping for it, and you're also at the same time, because God is greater than time, acting as if you've already been to the future and you've already seen that outcome.
25:04
SPEAKER_01: So I will tell you, I hiked in the Swiss Alps, I had my little bread and cheese, I was like going around.
25:09
SPEAKER_01: I could go for miles and miles or kilometers and kilometers, as they say over there, and it was amazing, and I had the best time, and I was able to encourage the people on the retreat with me.
25:17
SPEAKER_01: It was fantastic.
25:18
SPEAKER_02: Hilda, that is such an amazing story.
25:20
SPEAKER_02: I love it.
25:20
SPEAKER_02: You wanted to do it, and you did it.
25:22
SPEAKER_03: Next time, you gotta take me, girl.
25:24
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
25:25
SPEAKER_02: And that's a vision too.
25:26
SPEAKER_03: See, this is how you respond to it, right?
25:28
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, like so.
25:28
SPEAKER_03: Someone's you have a partner, someone's sharing it with you as though it already happened and they're joyful.
25:33
SPEAKER_03: I respond back with an elevated emotion, affirming what she did, bringing my energy to it.
25:39
SPEAKER_03: Yes, and it makes it actually manifest.
25:42
SPEAKER_01: Like so you all can pause and then do this with someone, practice it.
25:45
SPEAKER_01: It's kind of fun because then you start realizing, oh, my dream was too small.
25:48
SPEAKER_01: And you know, I can dream even bigger.
25:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
25:50
SPEAKER_04: You stop holding yourself back.
25:54
SPEAKER_03: Yes, yes, that's what I have.
25:55
SPEAKER_03: Many, many visions.
25:57
SPEAKER_04: Many simultaneous dreams, and that and that's that's fine too.
26:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
26:00
SPEAKER_01: And so going back to the purpose thing, just to wrap this part up, so that's more of a overarching, like who we want to be, not just what we want to do or accomplish, right?
26:10
SPEAKER_01: Like, um, I think Stephen Covey back in the day had this thing called unifying principles.
26:14
SPEAKER_01: And um, my husband and I did this exercise of writing down, like, I am, let's say, I am a uh a Christ follower who shines light in love.
26:22
SPEAKER_01: I um love God and my neighbor, I am optimistic and happy.
26:26
SPEAKER_01: And like goals, these are things that we would look at regularly to kind of reprogram.
26:31
SPEAKER_01: Because, like I said, you can't erase old neural pathways necessarily, but you can replace them.
26:36
SPEAKER_01: So, starting a new habit of affirmations or Bible verse memory or whatever it is to remind you of who you are, that if you are living and breathing right now, you are on this planet with a purpose.
26:46
SPEAKER_01: I love that.
26:47
SPEAKER_01: So, what is your purpose?
26:48
SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm I'm getting there, I'm getting there.
26:49
unknown: Okay.
26:50
SPEAKER_01: Because you're like, okay, that's well and good, that's well and good.
26:53
SPEAKER_01: How do you figure it out?
26:54
SPEAKER_01: So my friend said, and this is Heidi Syme, so I want to give her credit.
26:58
SPEAKER_01: Um, she's known as tomorrow, which is kind of futuristic and cool.
27:01
SPEAKER_01: Um Heidi said, finish this sentence.
27:04
SPEAKER_01: I'm so happy and grateful now that.
27:08
SPEAKER_01: And so I just wrote that down.
27:09
SPEAKER_01: I'm so happy and grateful now that.
27:11
SPEAKER_01: And then think of things that you would be excited to jump out of bed in the morning about, but about who you are.
27:17
SPEAKER_01: So I'll tell you what mine is.
27:18
SPEAKER_01: But it took some time to work it up because it wanted I want it to be something very positive and it needs to be bigger than you, not just like now that my heel is better.
27:25
SPEAKER_01: That's fine.
27:26
SPEAKER_01: That's fine.
27:27
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I would be.
27:27
SPEAKER_01: I mean, yes, I would be happy and grateful now that my heel is better.
27:29
SPEAKER_01: That's great.
27:30
SPEAKER_01: But I'm dreaming bigger than that, right?
27:32
SPEAKER_01: So I started thinking of the things I like to do, and I'm a content creator and a communicator.
27:36
SPEAKER_01: So I started honing it down.
27:38
SPEAKER_01: It was a process of some weeks, but I came up with this.
27:40
SPEAKER_01: I'm so happy and grateful now that I am an experiential anthropologist exploring the world, uncovering ancient health traditions to restore the energy and vitality of humanity.
27:53
unknown: Wow.
27:54
SPEAKER_01: This is worth getting it.
27:55
SPEAKER_04: I don't think that's big enough.
27:56
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
27:57
SPEAKER_04: That that's not big enough.
27:59
SPEAKER_02: You're holding yourself back, Hilda.
28:01
SPEAKER_02: Let it go!
28:02
SPEAKER_00: Exploring the universe.
28:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there you go.
28:05
SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Joel.
28:06
SPEAKER_04: Put some reins on that mare.
28:09
SPEAKER_01: But it's happening.
28:11
SPEAKER_01: It's so fun because you guys, ever since I've had that in my head, number one, I've been able to convey with more clarity exactly what I'm about.
28:18
SPEAKER_01: Apparently the cows want to hear more about this too, which is wonderful.
28:20
SPEAKER_02: They resonate with you.
28:21
SPEAKER_01: But it's given me clarity, it's given me more enthusiasm than ever.
28:25
SPEAKER_01: And now I remember always what I'm about.
28:27
SPEAKER_01: I don't forget because it's such a catchy thing, and I write it down regularly, and I just remember it, and I really feel like that's on my heart.
28:33
SPEAKER_01: And so I'm gonna be going to I said Mongolia.
28:36
SPEAKER_01: No, I've I've already been to Mongolia, and I'm going to Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, Thailand.
28:40
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna continue doing this, and I have partners, it's not just me.
28:43
SPEAKER_01: I've got people that help me with the content creation.
28:44
SPEAKER_01: I've got uh videographers and so forth and um supporters to make it happen because we need financial backing.
28:50
SPEAKER_01: And but it's it is a big honking mission, and it's fun to have one that's bigger than you, and it's fun to have clarity.
28:54
SPEAKER_01: So I would suggest that people should write just write down, I'm so happy and grateful now that.
28:59
SPEAKER_01: And so I write it all in the present tense and I've embraced who I am.
29:02
SPEAKER_01: Yes, Dore of the Explorer 2.0.
29:05
SPEAKER_01: And I do, I don't have a monkey or a map, but I have a mission.
29:08
SPEAKER_01: So I hope these little exercises have encouraged you all.
29:11
SPEAKER_04: No, it is, it is.
29:12
SPEAKER_04: That's great.
29:13
SPEAKER_04: You know, that we we we don't this kind of stuff doesn't come naturally to us.
29:17
SPEAKER_04: Why?
29:18
SPEAKER_04: Because in business, in business, what you just did, they would call that um Wattbee.
29:26
SPEAKER_04: Working on the business.
29:29
SPEAKER_04: Most of us spend all our time working in the business.
29:32
SPEAKER_04: We're toting water, we're cleaning dishes, we're you know, we're we're we're we're consumed with Whitby.
29:39
SPEAKER_04: But the but the big the big lever in life is Wattbee.
29:45
SPEAKER_04: And that's what moves Whitby there.
29:50
SPEAKER_04: And so it it it it but it doesn't come naturally.
29:53
