• 0:29
  Good morning from my own. Office.
• 0:31
  Oh gosh, can't even believe. I have to do this again today,
• 0:34
  but the weather is crappy and I cannot go out there and record,
• 0:39
  right? This moment it's still pitch
• 0:41
  dark and I just have no idea how quickly we're going to be able
• 0:45
  to have sunlight and be able to get out there and do this.
• 0:47
  So from my office this morning it's just a function of this
• 0:51
  time of the year anyway. Okay today we're talking about
• 0:57
  this really strange thing that I've seen all over.
• 1:00
  Social media with goals in the last, you know, five days, six
• 1:04
  days about how it's okay not to have any goals and it's okay to
• 1:09
  just be wherever you are. And let me start off by saying
• 1:13
  sure that is totally okay. If you don't want to have goals
• 1:16
  you don't need to have any goals.
• 1:18
  However, part of being a human being is part of growth and part
• 1:23
  of expanding, we are meant to grow.
• 1:28
  Expand learn And Achieve things that develop us in a spiritual,
• 1:37
  you know, mindful way, not just to mention an intellectual way.
• 1:41
  But a spiritual way and putting your intention on something is
• 1:46
  really part of that process when you don't have something to grow
• 1:50
  into or you don't have something that lights you up, you start to
• 1:55
  contract you start to shrink, you start to diminish, you know
• 1:59
  there's this Saying you're either growing or dying and you
• 2:03
  know it's not exactly wrong and sometimes you can go dormant
• 2:08
  just like the seasons sometimes, you know, it out the outside.
• 2:12
  Looks like it's dormant. But really what's happening is,
• 2:16
  there's a lot of growth going on under the ground.
• 2:18
  That is very, very big for plants, where they will all of a
• 2:22
  sudden just stopped. And they, you know, they look
• 2:25
  completely like there may be dead and then but we know what
• 2:28
  happens in the spring all of a sudden, those buds are there.
• 2:30
  R. Well, they were not just sitting
• 2:32
  there all year long. They were actually or that
• 2:35
  period of time. They were not just sitting
• 2:37
  there, they were actually busy behind the scenes, from what you
• 2:41
  could see forming their buds. Making things happen in their
• 2:45
  Roots just because you don't see, it doesn't mean it's not
• 2:48
  happening. So sometimes what happens with
• 2:51
  goals is people feel like they have to go out there and they
• 2:54
  have to profess to everybody what they're doing and talking
• 2:57
  about them. I don't talk about 90.
• 3:00
  I percent of the goals that I'm working on.
• 3:02
  I just don't, I don't bring them up until they're done.
• 3:05
  I keep them to myself because I consider them sacred items and I
• 3:08
  don't want to talk about them because for me it is a process
• 3:13
  of being in the sacred state of mind.
• 3:15
  I follow the dr. Wayne Dyer rules of I don't
• 3:19
  discuss them with people unless I feel that they're going to add
• 3:23
  value to helping me create them. Otherwise, I keep them very
• 3:27
  tightly to myself and I function All around that and I believe a
• 3:34
  big piece of this challenge, but we're seeing on social media has
• 3:38
  to do with the fact that everybody wants to be okay where
• 3:41
  they are. And you can be okay where you
• 3:43
  are but that doesn't mean you'll be happy.
• 3:46
  That doesn't mean you'll be thriving.
• 3:48
  That doesn't mean you're going to feel good about yourself.
• 3:51
  It might just be happy about where you are in this moment.
• 3:54
  But overall remember, two, three, four things can be true
• 3:58
  at the same time. So while you might I feel
• 4:01
  satisfied that you don't have any goals behind the scenes, you
• 4:04
  might feel like, well, wow, what what's the purpose?
• 4:09
  And that's where it gets tricky. So I'm going to challenge
• 4:12
  everybody to say it, like I said multiple things can be true at
• 4:16
  the same time and I think what's so important to remember is that
• 4:20
  we have the opportunity to set small, achievable goals.
• 4:25
  If you feel overwhelmed by the process and you've been a
• 4:29
  regular listener, you You know, I talked about doing small goals
• 4:32
  all the time because small goals are what matter they stack up,
• 4:36
  they go on top of each other and before you know it you've made
• 4:38
  massive progress. That's why I track all my wins.
• 4:42
  Like an insane lady, even if the winds are laundry like I had no
• 4:46
  joke, I track laundry. I mean who else does that?
• 4:50
  I track if I swept the floor that goes on my list of wins.
• 4:53
  If I actually got out there and pulled weeds that's on a list of
• 4:56
  wins because all these little things matter to The brain,
• 5:01
  which is very competitive by nature.
• 5:04
  But it's also very much, a tally machine that likes the tally
• 5:08
  things up, it likes to know that there's something going wrong
• 5:11
  because remember it tallies in the opposite direction to.
• 5:13
  We can certainly tell you all the crap that's gone wrong for
• 5:16
  you. So try to work on this.
• 5:19
  If you are bothered by this and you are looking at it and saying
• 5:23
  well I don't even want to set goals this year.
• 5:26
  It drains me, then probably you've set to Big of goals in
• 5:29
  the sense that That you were not prepared, mentally
• 5:32
  behind-the-scenes beforehand, like I am a big /.
• 5:36
  I push. I push everybody to say, hey,
• 5:39
  set something that excites. You don't just set things that
• 5:43
  you think you can make happen. So, there's a very good chance
• 5:46
  that, when you've set them before you got stuck in how you
• 5:50
  were, you couldn't process the the way to get it done.
• 5:53
  You gave up, you got frustrated and you were just overwhelmed.
• 5:58
  Well, it's you're not supposed to focus.
• 6:00
  On the how you're supposed to focus on the what and you stay
• 6:03
  focused on the what and work on your emotions and you go through
• 6:07
  the process. That way, it gives you a very
• 6:10
  different Outlook. So if you are in that state of
• 6:13
  mind, where you need to break down the goal smaller just to
• 6:17
  get excited. That's it.
• 6:19
  And if your only goal is to be excited this year, then that is
• 6:22
  a great goal because energy is everything and emotions mean
• 6:27
  everything. So please emotions are Our
• 6:30
  energy work on just that, but don't give up on yourself.
• 6:35
  Don't give up on your dreams, don't give up on the things that
• 6:37
  you think you want just because you are going to allow yourself
• 6:42
  to sit in that place and be, you know, complacent about it
• 6:45
  because that doesn't work either.
• 6:48
  So I hope you guys have a very blessed day.
• 6:50
  I hope this was helpful and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 6:53
  Bye. Our energy work on just that,
• 6:33
  but don't give up on yourself. Don't give up on your dreams,
• 6:36
  don't give up on the things that you think you want just because
• 6:39
  you are going to allow yourself to sit in that place and be, you
• 6:44
  know, complacent about it because that doesn't work
• 6:47
  either. So I hope you guys have a very
• 6:49
  blessed day. I hope this was helpful and I
• 6:51
  will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
