• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So I have to ask today, do you really like, what you do in
• 0:34
  life? I mean, I'm genuinely curious
• 0:37
  when I meet people and I always ask them.
• 0:39
  Do you like what you do and nine times out of ten?
• 0:43
  You'd be surprised. Most people think people will
• 0:45
  say I don't like what I do. But usually there's an aspect to
• 0:49
  it that they do like and that's how they ended up doing it.
• 0:52
  Is it what their degree is 9 times out of 10?
• 0:55
  Which is, I think is so funny. And you know, I think we all
• 0:59
  kind of meander on ABS as we get somewhere, where you might go to
• 1:02
  school for one thing because it's presented to us at such a
• 1:05
  young age to say, what do you want to do for the rest of your
• 1:07
  life? And God knows, I didn't know
• 1:09
  what I wanted to do, I don't have my degrees are in graphics
• 1:13
  and photography and everything else.
• 1:14
  And then I figured out later on that, I wanted to go into
• 1:17
  coaching, had to study a, get my certifications and go through
• 1:20
  all of that. But that was later on in my life
• 1:23
  and I just had no no time in the beginning to recognize that that
• 1:28
  was even an option and the reason is I am asking the
• 1:31
  question today is because I want you to all know, it's never too
• 1:34
  late and if there is something that you're interested in, you
• 1:37
  should start pursuing, even a piece of it, a shred of it
• 1:41
  because it lights you back up. It gives you that spark, it
• 1:44
  makes you electric when you feel like you're making even a tiny
• 1:48
  bit of progress towards something else that makes you
• 1:51
  feel great. So right now, there's something
• 1:55
  there's actually a couple of things in my world that I just
• 1:58
  really am excited about and it's about And again, I love to
• 2:02
  paint. I love to paint pictures, I love
• 2:04
  watercolors. There are like I don't even know
• 2:06
  when I start doing it. I think I go into a trance and I
• 2:09
  just do enjoy myself so much and I'm starting to also do pressed
• 2:13
  flowers, which is something I'm experimenting with I grow all
• 2:16
  these flowers and I'm like, you know what, I'm going to start
• 2:18
  doing some pressed flowers and I'm going to actually try doing
• 2:21
  a combination of painting and pressed flowers now, will it
• 2:25
  ever lead to anything? You know what, I don't know, but
• 2:29
  I know it's a part of if something in my life that I
• 2:32
  really want to enjoy and I do love everything about coaching
• 2:37
  everything that I do. I love.
• 2:39
  And I'm adding to it. I'm adding online classes, I'm
• 2:42
  adding a bunch of stuff because I am at a point where I have
• 2:46
  figured out how to do that. And I've got help with my
• 2:48
  daughter now and it's just a my son-in-law.
• 2:50
  I've just got a different framework around it so I do like
• 2:54
  what I do and I want you guys to focus on the fact that if you do
• 3:00
  like What you do or you like most of what you do and there
• 3:03
  are still missing pieces, don't give those up.
• 3:05
  Go look for how you can incorporate them.
• 3:08
  But what do you do if you don't like what you do?
• 3:09
  Like, what if you're sitting there listening and you go,
• 3:11
  well, I hate what I do, then. I'm going to challenge you to
• 3:13
  say, okay? How do you shift gears?
• 3:16
  How do you continue to do what you do and start to make
• 3:19
  Pathways into something else? That you might like to do a
• 3:22
  little bit more and that can be tricky, but it is not impossible
• 3:26
  because I am a firm believer that if you have a calling, if
• 3:29
  you haven't, Knock knock, meaning.
• 3:32
  Something, inside of you keeps going.
• 3:33
  I'm not happy. Oh, this is suck.
• 3:35
  So I want to do something else. It's there because it's trying
• 3:37
  to give you information and shift you.
• 3:39
  And if you ignore it, it just becomes like that petulant child
• 3:43
  that won't leave you alone and you have to start thinking, in
• 3:46
  terms of how am I going to get past?
• 3:48
  This, this is a pain in the butt but I promise you, if you do it,
• 3:53
  if you start looking at those little Pathways and you start
• 3:56
  believing that this is meant to be in, this is what you're
• 3:59
  supposed to be doing all of It will show up in good time.
• 4:02
  It always does. So open the door weighs ask
• 4:07
  yourself. What do I really want?
• 4:08
  Don't try to focus on the how as much as the, what what would you
• 4:12
  like to create? What do you want to have happen?
• 4:14
  What do you want to pull to you that way?
• 4:17
  You will be astonished at how quickly once you're clear on
• 4:21
  your what how much it shows up most people just don't get it
• 4:24
  because they don't know what the what is.
• 4:26
  So they fall by the wayside because they're too focused on
• 4:30
  how And trying to figure out how to do something, but they're not
• 4:32
  clear on, even what that is, trust me.
• 4:35
  I know it happens all the time in my world where I asked them a
• 4:37
  question and they'll say, well, I don't know how to do it and
• 4:39
  I'm like, but you're not even clear on what the what is so how
• 4:41
  can you possibly? It's like saying I'm going to
• 4:43
  make dinner. Well, what do you want?
• 4:45
  I don't know. And then you stand there and
• 4:46
  look in the refrigerator and you're just like, I don't know
• 4:49
  what is there? And then you're trying to throw
• 4:50
  something together without even an intent to begin with.
• 4:54
  So really take a look at this because I promise you if you
• 4:59
  really do it and you really start looking at what you like,
• 5:02
  what you don't like and taking the inventory, you will be able
• 5:05
  to carve out a path. That is absolutely fulfilling.
• 5:09
  You just have to know what it is that you want in the big end.
• 5:14
  Okay. My friends.
• 5:14
  I hope you have a blessed day today and I will see you
• 5:17
  tomorrow. Bye.
