  Good morning from the chicken coop so Today I would like to
• 0:31
  talk to you about your path, that internal path that we all
• 0:37
  have some of us believe. We don't have an internal path.
• 0:40
  We think we're just out there essentially roaming around
• 0:43
  bumping and bumbling but that's not exactly true.
• 0:46
  We have an internal path that we actually follow, that's part of
• 0:52
  us and we definitely have it. Some of us get confused by the
• 0:57
  fact that we have it. Some of us don't know
• 0:58
  necessarily where it is. Is will go off the path so to
• 1:02
  speak. And we think, oh gosh, I'm never
• 1:05
  going to get back on my path, but I personally don't believe
• 1:09
  that's true. All the spiritual work.
• 1:11
  I've done all the studying and, you know, different teachers
• 1:15
  that I've learned from, I personally believe that our path
• 1:19
  is within us. When we arrived here, we have a
• 1:23
  mission. If you will we have an endgame,
• 1:25
  a goal of what we're going to be doing or an idea of it and Our
• 1:30
  job is to redefine that message in ourselves as we go along and
• 1:37
  see it. Remember it if you will and we
• 1:40
  do that through our emotions which guide us along the way,
• 1:43
  when things don't feel, right? We get messages, we are
• 1:46
  excellent at ignoring said messages, but we still get the
• 1:49
  messages and those messages helped us, move through things
• 1:53
  and help us move closer to the end game that we want to have.
• 1:57
  But we have to listen and we have to be attuned.
• 2:00
  And to it and attuned to ourselves.
• 2:02
  But I personally believe in some of you may not agree with this,
• 2:06
  and that's okay. Because this podcast is all
• 2:08
  about possibilities and giving you different ideas.
• 2:11
  But I do, I personally believe that we all have this defined
• 2:16
  piece of ourselves that we are supposed to connect to resonate
• 2:21
  with and bring forward. And when we get off the path and
• 2:25
  please Veer off of our path, things start to go awry and the
• 2:28
  more we stick to the path. More things seem to stay in flow
• 2:33
  and we get the messages from our emotions.
• 2:34
  We get the messages from the results that are surrounding us
• 2:39
  in our life and things just get exponentially.
• 2:43
  Better the more we pay attention to it.
• 2:45
  So the question you really have to ask yourself, is how far do
• 2:49
  you have to go off the path before you realize, you're off
• 2:53
  the path? And are you listening to those
• 2:55
  little Whispers that show up when you go off the path?
• 2:58
  So that you can course correct quickly?
• 3:00
  And actually get back on the path and really asking yourself.
• 3:05
  You know, what's the truth about the path that I want.
• 3:09
  Because what's interesting is a lot of times, some of us will be
• 3:12
  very, very clear and we know it from when we were a child.
• 3:16
  And then someone else says something and boom, we are
• 3:22
  moved. So I'm going to give you an
• 3:23
  example. Heard me speak of my dad before
• 3:26
  when I talk on the podcast and my dad was clearly my best
• 3:29
  friend in life. And I lost him when I was 25 and
• 3:33
  he was 57. And when I was young, probably
• 3:38
  9, or 10 years old, I said, to my dad, I want to be a school
• 3:42
  teacher and my dad said, oh, you can't be a school teacher.
• 3:46
  There's no money in that and I was like, oh, but I really want
• 3:50
  to be a school teacher and he's like, no, you don't want to do
• 3:53
  that. I'm telling you, there's no
• 3:54
  money in that. You have to find something that
• 3:56
  you can take care of yourself and he really was on a mission
• 4:00
  to empower me as a young woman to take care of myself and not
• 4:04
  need anybody to take care of me. And I appreciated that from him
• 4:08
  and he definitely instilled those things in me but I really
• 4:12
  wanted to be a teacher and so I pulled myself back and I said,
• 4:15
  okay well I'm not going to be a teacher.
• 4:17
  So you know, time goes on and I'm still trying to figure out
• 4:20
  what I want to do fast forward a couple years and I say, well,
• 4:23
  maybe I'm going to be a writer and he says, oh no, you don't
• 4:27
  wanna be a writer, there's no money in that, okay.
• 4:30
  So Am I thinking myself? Well, what else?
• 4:32
  And I'm super creative because my grandmother, instilled that
• 4:35
  in me. I mean, I've always been
• 4:36
  creative my grandmother really nurtured that piece.
• 4:39
  So here I am. Okay, well I'm gonna go into
• 4:42
  being artists and graphics and this is at the time when you
• 4:47
  know, computer Graphics are starting to come out.
• 4:49
  So I'm like, okay I'm this is what I'm going to do.
• 4:50
  I'm so excited about it and go to my dad and I tell them, this
• 4:53
  is what I want to do. And I want to have an ad agency
• 4:56
  and he says, that's excellent. That's exactly, you know, that's
• 4:59
  great. You can make Eight money in
• 5:01
  that. So I was like, okay so I'm doing
• 5:03
  it and it did it worked out right?
• 5:06
  I had I built my business and I had a great time until I felt
• 5:10
  like I had golden handcuffs and I was making money, but I was
• 5:13
  miserable every day and being doing artwork for other people
• 5:19
  and people constantly. Correcting, my artwork didn't
• 5:23
  feel good and I was too close to the art, like, you know, I would
• 5:28
  do something and I would be proud of it, but then someone
• 5:30
  would come in. We correct it.
• 5:31
  This just did not feel good. If I'm blatantly honest, it
• 5:34
  didn't feel good. So, and I'm getting, you know,
• 5:38
  I've got a photography studio as well, and I'm taking pictures,
• 5:41
  commercial pictures for products and whatnot, and, and it's not
• 5:45
  filling my cetera. It's not making me happy.
• 5:49
  And I had, you know, this moment that if you will to come to
• 5:52
  Jesus moment where I was like, okay, what am I doing?
• 5:55
  Well after my dad passed away and I am in this, I start to I
• 6:00
  realize this is how I get into self-development.
• 6:02
  I put myself on this path of self-discovery and I realized I
• 6:07
  was way off the path because there was part of me that still
• 6:10
  wanted to be a teacher that still wanted to write books that
• 6:13
  that was a mission in myself and I could not Escape that mission.
• 6:18
  So it was still there. Well, now look at what I'm
• 6:21
  doing. What am I doing right now?
• 6:23
  I'm teaching. And I'm writing books and I have
• 6:26
  created what I would call the magical life because I went Back
• 6:30
  to the path. I went back to the things that
• 6:34
  were in my soul if you will. And here's the thing, my father
• 6:39
  wasn't wrong because he loved me.
• 6:41
  He was trying to correct me. I don't fault him for that.
• 6:43
  And all those gifts that I learned along the way are great
• 6:46
  and I still have all those skills.
• 6:48
  I can create my graphics for all the stuff that I do.
• 6:50
  I can Market myself, I can do anything that I want, but I
• 6:55
  always had to come back to the path and I think that's the part
• 6:58
  of this, that we have to Check in with ourselves on and say, am
• 7:02
  I on my path or a man, the path that someone else created for
• 7:05
  me? And if I am off, what do I need
• 7:08
  to do to start to come back to my path?
• 7:11
  And I'm not saying you have to bang a hard left and all of a
• 7:14
  sudden just drop the world and go on to this other thing and
• 7:17
  maybe you want to and that's your choice.
• 7:20
  But for most of us we can make these Corrections and come back
• 7:24
  and feel like we're gaining that momentum gaining that charge in
• 7:28
  our soul. Again that puts us on the right.
• 7:30
  Path and makes us feel good. So I'm going to challenge you
• 7:34
  today to go back and think about those moments and ask yourself,
• 7:38
  you know, am I, am I really on the path of what I want?
• 7:42
  Or am I doing these things? Because this is what somebody
• 7:45
  else put on me, or redirected me or told me and think about the
• 7:49
  story that I just told you and see how that, you know, can
• 7:53
  pertain in your life as well. And hopefully it will help you
• 7:56
  pick up some of the Whispers and get you back to a place where at
• 8:00
  least aligned with a place where you can be in that process.
• 8:04
  I will see you tomorrow my friends and I hope you have a
• 8:07
  fabulous day. Bye.
