• 0:23
  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  The girls and I and Raven. So, today have a question to ask
• 0:35
  you, what truly makes others in your life happy.
• 0:39
  So maybe it's someone really close to you.
• 0:42
  Maybe it's a partner, maybe it's a child, maybe it's a co-worker
• 0:47
  but the question I'm asking really is about understanding
• 0:51
  someone else's languages and we've heard all heard about the
• 0:55
  love language is if you hadn't there's a book called, love the
• 0:57
  love five, love languages. It's a great book.
• 1:00
  But skip it, if it's not a love situation and it's just knowing
• 1:04
  what makes other people, happy around you and asking that
• 1:08
  question in general because I think a lot of us know, we want
• 1:13
  to believe we know what makes us happy.
• 1:14
  Although I'm not convinced that we all do know that I think,
• 1:17
  oftentimes were confused by that.
• 1:20
  So you can actually ask yourself the question too.
• 1:23
  But today's intent was all about.
• 1:24
  Do you know what makes others happy?
• 1:26
  And the reason why I'm asking that question of you today, is
• 1:29
  because I think if you're going, I have a really well-balanced
• 1:32
  life, you have to know what makes others around you happy.
• 1:37
  So for instance, even if you'd still like okay let's use the
• 1:40
  chickens as an example. I have a very curious situation
• 1:44
  because my neighbor's chickens fly over the fence.
• 1:48
  They come here, they lay eggs in my egg boxes, they eat my food
• 1:53
  and they hang out with my chickens who are super Zen
• 1:55
  Andrew suit and not supposed to like when other members of
• 2:00
  another LA cour, new chickens come in, but my girls are really
• 2:03
  chilled out obviously because we're very chilled out.
• 2:06
  So that's why it happens. Energy is everything.
• 2:09
  And, you know, I'm a big fan of that, but these other chickens,
• 2:11
  they have a coop. They have a very, you know, big
• 2:17
  place that they can live yet. They come here.
• 2:20
  And the question is, what's the reason why do they come here?
• 2:24
  Well, I am a very, very, very, very big, proponent of studying
• 2:29
  everything you can in order to To understand when you take on a
• 2:32
  project. So my chickens, I studied how to
• 2:35
  care for them but I didn't just study how to care for them.
• 2:37
  I studied what they like. I studied how they act what
• 2:41
  their behaviors over the years have taught people.
• 2:44
  Now, can you just treat them as a commodity?
• 2:48
  Yes, you can, but my chickens are way more than that.
• 2:53
  To me, they're my pets. So of course I really studied,
• 2:56
  what makes chickens happy? What do they like?
• 2:58
  And I provided that they Even have opportunities of where to
• 3:02
  roost at night inside the coop. So some of them might like to be
• 3:06
  on the ladders, some of them might might to be on the left
• 3:08
  side, some of them are on the right side.
• 3:10
  They have all these different places that they can go and
• 3:14
  partly that's because that's chicken Behavior.
• 3:17
  So that it's the hierarchy but I understood it what makes them
• 3:20
  feel good? What makes them happy?
• 3:22
  What do they like in their chicken world?
• 3:24
  So I could provide it. Now I'm using this as an example
• 3:28
  but I really want you to think about this in terms of Other
• 3:30
  people around you, like what makes somebody happy today.
• 3:35
  I knew it. We're getting ready to go
• 3:37
  camping and I knew that my son would want to have a frisbee to
• 3:40
  go like a really cool frisbee. So I stopped and I got them a
• 3:43
  frisbee because I was like, wow, that's really cool.
• 3:45
  And again, it's not about just buying people things.
• 3:47
  It's about saying the words, you know, my husband cooks dinner
• 3:51
  nearly every night for me when I'm working and coaching.
• 3:55
  And I'm very blessed to have that and I totally understand
• 3:57
  that. So I never let a time go by when
• 4:00
  he cooks. I don't say thank you.
• 4:02
  That was delicious or thank you. I really appreciate you doing
• 4:05
  that because it means something to me and I know that one of the
• 4:08
  ways he he knows I appreciate him is with me saying it.
• 4:13
  So it's important to have acknowledgement and you need to
• 4:17
  know. Is it just a sticky note to
• 4:19
  somebody say hey I appreciate all your help.
• 4:22
  I had a client not long ago who had a sister that was taken care
• 4:26
  of the parents and she was not like right near there.
• 4:29
  So her sister was Is easier to do it.
• 4:31
  And she actually, we were talking about it and she said,
• 4:34
  I'd love to be able to, like, acknowledge her for it.
• 4:36
  I said, why don't you show up and bring her flowers?
• 4:38
  It turned into this beautiful moment between the two of them
• 4:42
  because her sister felt recognized and she started to
• 4:44
  cry and there was lots of hugging lots of tears and a
• 4:48
  meeting of the minds and it's these small things that make us
• 4:52
  better people. So this isn't just about what
• 4:54
  you can give to someone else, but it's also how you feel your
• 4:57
  heart back up your soul back up. So, I want you to think today,
• 5:02
  honestly, what truly makes the other people in your life happy.
• 5:05
  And what can you do to facilitate that?
• 5:07
  And again, it's not about buying it's about being.
• 5:11
  So, I hope you guys have a very blessed day and I hope you
• 5:13
  brighten someones day today. Maybe even a random stranger.
• 5:17
  Wouldn't that be special? Alright guys, I hope you have a
• 5:19
  blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:21
  Bye.
