  Hey, everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So today we're talking about what really makes somebody have
• 0:35
  the identity that allows them to keep going and keep going and
• 0:41
  keep going. You know, this is such a
• 0:43
  question that's so deep on so many levels, but I figured we
• 0:48
  should talk about it because I think it's an important thing to
• 0:50
  understand. I have gotten this question so
• 0:54
  many times is that don't you get sick of coaching all the people
• 0:57
  that you coach? Don't you get sick of doing the
• 1:00
  things that you do? And you know, we've often heard
• 1:04
  the phrase about you got to find your passion and then do it
• 1:07
  well, what if you don't know what your passion is?
• 1:10
  I didn't know I was going to go into coaching.
• 1:12
  I knew I had. I'd I like to teach, but I
• 1:15
  didn't know I was going to go into coaching.
• 1:16
  There was no intention of that. There was an intention to go
• 1:19
  into being a teacher at one point until my father said that
• 1:24
  was not a good profession to go into be money wise, which is
• 1:28
  probably not wrong about. However, I have, you know, a
• 1:32
  very strong understanding of the fact that there's a part of my
• 1:36
  being that keeps going and going and going because I have
• 1:40
  cultivated A belief system that says there is an absolute
• 1:46
  necessity in what I do to be creative and to be in that same
• 1:52
  wavelength with clients and to really enjoy it.
• 1:55
  And from those things, you start to create something that's
• 1:59
  passion in you. But it's not necessarily just
• 2:02
  there because of one thing. I can get that same thing from
• 2:05
  learning from the garden. I can get the same thing from
• 2:08
  learning from doing art and photography and everything else.
• 2:11
  It's more about cultivating an ideal that you constantly have a
• 2:17
  backing in faith. You constantly have a backing
• 2:20
  knowing that you are. If you're diving into something
• 2:24
  and you feel that fueled emotion about it, it's fueling you to go
• 2:28
  forward with it. So it's a very complex subject
• 2:32
  because it's multiple things happening at once.
• 2:34
  But essentially when you start to feel excited and curious and
• 2:38
  you know you lose track of time and things, they fill you up.
• 2:42
  They don't drain you. And when you stay in that
• 2:46
  emotion, when you look for that emotion, you know that's your
• 2:49
  key and that's the faith that brings you full circle with the
• 2:53
  whole thing. Like, oh, you know, I'm, I'm on
• 2:55
  the right track. This is what the universe and
• 2:57
  God have in mind for me because if I feel this way, I must be on
• 3:01
  the right track. Do you see how that kind of
• 3:03
  loops back around? So in the beginning you might
• 3:07
  try something. You're like, I don't have a
• 3:08
  passion for it. When I started coaching, I was
• 3:11
  interested in it, but it was hard and I didn't get a lot of
• 3:15
  it. And it was difficult to, you
• 3:18
  know, turn and burn the clients the way they were being given to
• 3:21
  me in the in the place that I was working with them.
• 3:24
  And I felt like it was just very digital and it wasn't emotional
• 3:32
  and nothing changed over time when I was there.
• 3:35
  But what happened was I learned how to cultivate the things that
• 3:40
  made me feel good, and that's what I want to talk to you.
• 3:43
  That's the point I want to make today.
• 3:45
  You have to cultivate the things that make you feel good.
• 3:48
  That way you know you're tapped in to what the universe is
• 3:51
  bringing to you. So this was a sideways way of
• 3:54
  the universe bringing to me a vehicle for teaching people, but
• 3:59
  not in the traditional sense, which would have never worked
• 4:02
  for me long term because I am too random and I like to walk
• 4:06
  and talk and I don't. I don't want to be stuck in one
• 4:11
  place all the time, so I think it's kind of interesting how
• 4:15
  without me trying to figure out the how and me just cultivating
• 4:19
  the emotions I was looking for, the universe provided it.
• 4:23
  So as I felt better, I gave more clarity and more direction.
• 4:27
  And then as I gave more clarity and more direction, everything
• 4:30
  became better and better and better.
• 4:32
  So that's what you're looking for?
• 4:34
  You're looking for the clues in your own emotion to help keep
• 4:37
  you on track, to help keep you in a better state.
• 4:40
  And then? That way you know exactly what's
• 4:42
  happening with yourself around you.
• 4:45
  All of it. It's a very dynamic subject
• 4:48
  because it moves all the time. Because sometimes our emotions
• 4:51
  are like, oh, we try something and then we realize we don't
• 4:53
  like it, which is totally fine. I was doing a painting today and
• 4:57
  I realized I didn't like the way it worked and I painted right
• 5:01
  over it. It wasn't that I didn't like
• 5:03
  painting, it was that I just didn't like the way that one was
• 5:06
  coming out. So I didn't feel good about it.
• 5:07
  I used it as an information and get mad.
• 5:10
  I just redid it. And I think that's the beautiful
• 5:13
  part about being in tune with yourself because you can course
• 5:16
  correct quickly. So work on that, building those
• 5:20
  emotions that move you in the sense that you understand you're
• 5:24
  moving in the right direction because that makes you feel
• 5:27
  fueled and on fire. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:31
  you have a blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:33
  Bye.
