• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So want to point out something
• 0:33
  that may seem obvious, but we're going to dive into it a little
• 0:36
  bit. When you want to grow, you have
• 0:39
  to grow from the inside out. It doesn't happen where the
• 0:43
  outside grows and then the inside catches up.
• 0:46
  It's always that the inside grows and then stretches you
• 0:52
  outward, so. That has from this sense of what
• 0:57
  I'm talking about, it's that when your emotions, when your
• 1:01
  thoughts, when your ideas, when your consciousness expands, that
• 1:05
  all takes place from the inside and moves you outward.
• 1:09
  It expands your external world, but it all takes place inside
• 1:13
  1st and. The the premise behind this
• 1:18
  thought and keeping this in mind is understanding that there is
• 1:21
  discomfort and growth. Let me be the very first one to
• 1:24
  tell you, just like when we're kids and our bones are like
• 1:28
  aching because we're growing and our feet hurt and our legs hurt
• 1:32
  and we're having those growth spurt moments.
• 1:35
  They're uncomfortable. And the same thing happens when
• 1:38
  we're trying to grow ourselves in any way, shape or form.
• 1:41
  If we're trying something new, you know kids are going back to
• 1:44
  school. Getting ready for new things.
• 1:47
  My son's getting ready to do a whole new program this year, and
• 1:51
  it it's amazing opportunity, but it's also scary because the
• 1:56
  potential is, you know, it's going to be a lot of hard work.
• 2:01
  And anytime that you jump into these things, you have the
• 2:05
  understanding that it's going to be a challenge.
• 2:07
  There's going to be something that challenges you in the
• 2:09
  process. You have to realize that you
• 2:12
  grow from the inside out. First and foremost, inside out.
• 2:16
  So you have to change the way you think of it.
• 2:18
  You have to change the way you see it.
• 2:19
  You have to change the way you you approach it and you have to
• 2:23
  say it's OK, I'm growing. It's OK.
• 2:25
  I'm growing. If you can learn that one simple
• 2:27
  phrase, it's OK. I'm growing.
• 2:30
  You know what? Everything else becomes
• 2:32
  exponentially easier because you stop beating yourself up for
• 2:35
  stuff. You stop finding what's wrong.
• 2:38
  You start saying, oh, you know what?
• 2:39
  It's OK. I'm learning.
• 2:40
  I'm growing when I start focusing on creating stuff.
• 2:44
  I'm I'm constantly saying, oh, OK, that's not a mistake.
• 2:48
  It's just an experience. It's just something that I can
• 2:51
  learn from. It's just something that I can
• 2:53
  see from. It's OK, I'm growing, I'm
• 2:54
  trying, I'm experimenting, I'm being creative, I'm using my
• 2:57
  imagination. All things that allow you and
• 3:01
  give you permission to do the process of growth, which is
• 3:05
  incredibly important. It it it, in the world of human
• 3:09
  beings, if we're not growing, we're dying.
• 3:11
  If we're not expanding, we're contracting and not.
• 3:14
  And that's not good because we're always a growth oriented
• 3:19
  being. So give yourself the gift of
• 3:22
  saying, hey, I'm going to allow myself to grow.
• 3:25
  I'm going to allow myself to have this experience and I'm not
• 3:28
  going to cut myself off at the knees by beating myself up or
• 3:32
  limiting myself or saying right away.
• 3:35
  I don't think I can do this. I'm scared.
• 3:37
  And then not doing it. You can say, hey, I'm.
• 3:40
  I wonder if I'm going to be able to do this, and I'm scared and
• 3:42
  you do it anyway. It's always act in spite of the
• 3:45
  fear. Move yourself through it and
• 3:47
  realize that the growth takes place inside before outside can
• 3:51
  happen. Always, always, always.
• 3:53
  There is no exception to the rule.
• 3:55
  It's what happens if you put a seed in the ground and you put
• 3:58
  it under the soil. What happens?
• 3:59
  The seed starts from the inside and it cracks out in that little
• 4:03
  tiny. What happens?
• 4:05
  And before you know it, you see the little green growing and you
• 4:08
  realize, OK, this is, this is awesome, look at this.
• 4:11
  It's sprouted and it's such an an invigorating experience to
• 4:17
  watch it happen. Because it's like all I did was
• 4:19
  put it in the right condition and look at how it grown.
• 4:21
  Look what happened. So it's the same thing.
• 4:24
  You put your emotions, you put your state, you put your heart,
• 4:27
  your your mind, your focus in the right conditions and boom,
• 4:30
  you're going to grow from the inside out and the.
• 4:33
  The most compelling part of it is you control it all.
• 4:37
  Nobody else can control it. No one forces you to grow.
• 4:40
  No one forces you to experience things that you don't want to
• 4:43
  experience from the perspective of what you believe about them.
• 4:47
  Sure, someone can force something on you, but guess
• 4:49
  what? What you believe about it makes
• 4:51
  all the difference in the whole world.
• 4:53
  So. Remember that as you go forward
• 4:56
  in your day today, as you go forward thinking about things,
• 4:59
  just say it's okay. I'm growing.
• 5:01
  I'm in the process of growing. I welcome it.
• 5:03
  I'm shifting, I'm learning, I'm growing and it's okay if it's a
• 5:06
  little uncomfortable because I'm growing.
• 5:08
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:11
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
