  Hey everybody good. Morning and it's day four of
• 0:32
  some food. For thought so today.
• 0:36
  This is a question I get asked a lot of, you know, when am I
• 0:39
  going to not have to have my emotion be so important to pay
• 0:43
  attention to in my thoughts and all of this?
• 0:45
  Like, when am I going to get past this?
• 0:46
  I've been doing this for a while.
• 0:47
  I should be past this already. Well, here's the kicker.
• 0:50
  Today's food for thought. Here it is.
• 0:52
  You will never reach a place where you will not need to be
• 0:56
  diligent about. You're paying attention to your
• 0:58
  thought and your emotion. It's not going to happen because
• 1:02
  the world we live in is constant and ever expanding, ever moving
• 1:08
  and this it's ever changing and this is the reason why we need
• 1:11
  to constantly pay attention to it because as long as we are
• 1:14
  here. And we?
• 1:15
  Are conscious we are going to have to pay attention to it now
• 1:19
  I know that sounds like a really big like it's never going to get
• 1:24
  easier. No it's not It's not going to
• 1:25
  get easier. You will get easier as you do
• 1:28
  it, and you get the more you pay attention to it, the easier and
• 1:31
  easier it will become. But in the process.
• 1:34
  Of it it is. Something you have to recognize
• 1:38
  is a constant. It never goes away.
• 1:41
  It's one of the reasons why I myself have a coach, because we
• 1:44
  have no choice if we want to be able to to get better and expand
• 1:49
  fully create that expansion. That we're constantly.
• 1:52
  Seeking and looking for then we have to recognize.
• 1:55
  That this is a. Never ending process.
• 1:57
  It's a. Never ending.
• 1:58
  Process my friends. And no matter how much.
• 2:01
  Time we. Spend.
• 2:02
  Doing it no matter how much time we.
• 2:04
  Spend. Doing it we will always.
• 2:06
  Find ourselves looping back to the.
• 2:07
  Questions. At hand, which are presented to
• 2:11
  us regularly. Every day.
• 2:13
  How am I going to respond to this?
• 2:15
  How am I going to feel about this?
• 2:17
  And we all have this hardwiring of things that have happened in
• 2:20
  our lives that cause us to react or instead of respond, we have
• 2:26
  to choose how we want to be. It is constant.
• 2:29
  And it's not just for you, it's for all of us.
• 2:31
  I have the same issues. I mean, if you have any human
• 2:37
  condition at all that you are living in, you are going to have
• 2:40
  those buttons that get pushed. And I am no different.
• 2:45
  Having a teenage son, a daughter, an older daughter
• 2:49
  who's married and who's having a child, having a husband, having
• 2:53
  animals. A farm, I mean.
• 2:55
  There are days when I walk out there and I'm thinking, OK,
• 2:58
  everything's going to be great. And I find that a chicken has
• 3:00
  been killed by something. And then my emotions are right
• 3:04
  there immediately and I go right down a rabbit hole crying
• 3:08
  because I lost an animal. And I'm thinking, all I'm
• 3:13
  thinking about is. Oh my gosh, how could?
• 3:15
  I have. Let this happen and I feel.
• 3:17
  So responsible. And overwhelmed.
• 3:19
  With it and some people, I think most of my audience understands
• 3:24
  that emotion coming from it. And there are some people in the
• 3:28
  world though that don't. They're like, well, it's just an
• 3:30
  animal, it's just a chicken, It's just whatever.
• 3:32
  But to me, no, they're a family. They're part of this family and
• 3:36
  I don't want anything to happen to them ever.
• 3:38
  So I have to, I have to reckon with the fact that if I'm going
• 3:43
  to do what I say I want to do and have this farm, I have to
• 3:47
  realize it comes with despair. There is part of it that is
• 3:51
  despair and I will experience it and I know that and it doesn't
• 3:56
  make me thrilled. I'll be honest with you, that
• 3:58
  part does not make me thrilled. It's very hard, but I have to
• 4:01
  recognize it's all part of the process.
• 4:04
  It's and, and me staying in that state of overwhelmed sadness and
• 4:10
  despair is not going to help me get out there and figure out
• 4:13
  what do I need to do to protect the other chickens?
• 4:16
  What do I need to do to take on the shift in my own state?
• 4:19
  What if I've got a call coming up?
• 4:20
  I can't go into it, you know, hysterical and not OK.
• 4:25
  So it is a constant process and beating yourself up for the
• 4:30
  process of needing to go back and look at things again.
• 4:34
  Never ever, ever, ever, ever works.
• 4:36
  This is one of the things that was the hardest for me to
• 4:40
  understand. It is going to take place my
• 4:44
  whole life. This is not a grocery shopping
• 4:46
  list to pick out and take and go to Costco and then say, oh Yep,
• 4:51
  I got everything on the list. I'm done.
• 4:53
  No, this is like laundry. It never goes away.
• 4:56
  It's always present. And you have to figure out how
• 4:59
  you're going to not be aggravated with it and you're
• 5:02
  going to do it and find different ways to see it.
• 5:05
  And you're going to say this is just part of life and this is
• 5:08
  what I'm learning. Because the moment you do that,
• 5:11
  everything changes. And accepting those things is is
• 5:15
  part of that growth process. So today, that's what it's.
• 5:20
  All about. The food for thought, accepting
• 5:22
  the process and looking at it and saying this is a journey.
• 5:26
  All right my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I will
• 5:29
  see you all tomorrow. Bye.
