  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Today is all about mental attitudes, versus mental
• 0:35
  capacities. So your mental capacity has
• 0:39
  absolutely nothing to do with your mental attitude, and vice
• 0:42
  versa, mental attitudes, obviously are all about mindset,
• 0:47
  mental, capacities are all about what you can learn, not what you
• 0:51
  have learned, but what you can learn your capacity and
• 0:55
  sometimes we get very confused between the two of these.
• 0:58
  And, you know, obviously I I am a firm, believer.
• 1:02
  I am a 100% firm believer that you should always be learning
• 1:06
  something. Always be learning.
• 1:08
  Something doesn't matter what it is.
• 1:10
  But if you're always learning something, you're inviting a
• 1:13
  different energy into your body and you're increasing, your
• 1:15
  mental capacities all the time, you're talking about the fact
• 1:19
  that you're pushing your brain to be able to grow.
• 1:22
  So you're keeping your neuroplasticity, you're pushing
• 1:25
  the edge of the volume on that and that's what's so important.
• 1:29
  The capacity, He's for it actually diminish.
• 1:32
  When you don't use it which is what's so funny about it.
• 1:35
  And we all know, like I have a lot of clients who are realtors
• 1:39
  and what's funny about that is they'll often talk about the
• 1:42
  fact that a house was not lived in, and one would think that if
• 1:46
  the house was not lived in, it would be pristine.
• 1:49
  But you know what happens, the house actually starts to fall
• 1:51
  apart the house actually starts to suffer from neglect.
• 1:55
  Now, the people that lived in the house might not do anything
• 1:58
  with it, they might not be doing anything at all with it.
• 2:00
  But all of a sudden, a house that doesn't have energy in, it
• 2:04
  starts to just diminish, and it starts to fall apart.
• 2:08
  Well, guess what? That's what actually happens to
• 2:10
  your mental capacities. If you are not pushing yourself
• 2:14
  with them, all the time, nothing is more important than learning
• 2:18
  new things. Because when you do that, it
• 2:21
  comes with a whole different energy comes with a whole
• 2:23
  different understanding it comes with just, I mean, to me, it's
• 2:26
  just Grand outcomes. If you can't tell, I'm always
• 2:28
  very excited about learning new things.
• 2:30
  And it doesn't matter what it is.
• 2:32
  It's why I paint. It's why I this year I'm taking
• 2:35
  on fermenting things differently, kombuchas and
• 2:39
  working towards making bread sounds so silly.
• 2:41
  But bread bread is a science. Well, once I finish this whole
• 2:44
  30 then I can make bread and right now.
• 2:47
  No, none of that. So the point is you have you
• 2:52
  have to realize that the capacities that you're looking
• 2:55
  for come with a push. So first part of this is push.
• 2:59
  Push push. Learn something new.
• 3:02
  I had a client recently, who took I recommended a book to?
• 3:05
  And he said to me, boy, this book is hard for me to read.
• 3:08
  I'm not enjoying it and I said, if it's hard for you to read,
• 3:11
  that's the exact reason. You should be reading it because
• 3:14
  you want to push yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't
• 3:16
  understand it, there have been plenty of times Neville.
• 3:18
  Goddard, one of my most favorite mentors out there, read his
• 3:22
  books and you will your brain will hurt your head actually
• 3:26
  hurts from reading the stuff. This guy wrote, It's just
• 3:30
  Credibly deep and you have to pause and really be present with
• 3:34
  it, but that push that shove is there, I will read it and then I
• 3:39
  will say I have no clue what I just read and I will go back and
• 3:42
  reread it and I will do that over and over and over and over
• 3:45
  and over and over and over. I have spent years just reading
• 3:48
  Neville, nothing else because I didn't I didn't grasp it the
• 3:52
  way, I knew it should be. And even to this day, I will
• 3:55
  still go back and read and listen to his books because I
• 3:58
  know I missed things. And I push my mental capacities,
• 4:02
  so it's learning new things that are easier.
• 4:04
  Learning new things that are harder pushing yourself into
• 4:07
  being a better person, first part of that.
• 4:10
  Now, mental attitudes. Well, that's all about the
• 4:13
  mindset piece and we talk about that all the time, but your
• 4:15
  mindset is so critical to everything that you do every
• 4:21
  single thing that you do has to be run through the filters of
• 4:25
  what you decide is, right? You what you decide and you have
• 4:28
  to realize that the more or you decide that you're going to have
• 4:32
  a positive attitude, the more that you decide, you're going to
• 4:35
  be the person that is focused and happy and joyous and
• 4:40
  grateful and have that good attitude.
• 4:42
  The more great things are going to come to you.
• 4:44
  And the more you're going to be able to put yourself into the
• 4:49
  place of receiving them because you have that great attitude.
• 4:53
  It is fundamental, my friends fundamental.
• 4:56
  So if you really want to make the biggest shift in your life,
• 5:00
  you have to recognize that the two things, the mental attitude
• 5:04
  versus the mental capacities. Yes, they're two completely
• 5:07
  different things and you need them both, you need to
• 5:11
  constantly be pushing that neuroplasticity, you need to
• 5:15
  constantly be pushing yourself so that you can attain what
• 5:20
  you're looking for. So, I hope you have a blessed
• 5:23
  day. Go, learn something fabulous
• 5:24
  today and have a great attitude about it and I will see you all
• 5:27
  tomorrow. Bye.
