• 0:23

• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning.
• 0:29
  Today I want to give you guys a little reminder about something.
• 0:34
  Emotions are constantly present. They're never gone.
• 0:38
  I don't care how how stoic you believe you are.
• 0:41
  Emotions are always present and always dictating.
• 0:44
  And it does not matter the labels that you have been given.
• 0:47
  It does not matter. Even the rooster concurs on this
• 0:50
  one, joining in on it. It does not matter the labels
• 0:54
  that you have been given. It doesn't matter what people
• 0:57
  have said you are or you are not.
• 1:00
  You get to choose the emotions that you are in.
• 1:05
  And those emotions dictate everything that happens around
• 1:09
  you. And it's a very, very hard
• 1:13
  lesson that we have to continually learn as human
• 1:16
  beings. And yesterday I really got like
• 1:20
  the foresight on this because I was working on a special project
• 1:25
  and had to have a meeting with someone and we were talking
• 1:29
  about emotional impact on high performers.
• 1:32
  Here's what's interesting about this.
• 1:34
  So many people believe that if you're a high performer already,
• 1:40
  that means you don't. You're not dealing with your
• 1:42
  emotions. You have figured out a way to
• 1:44
  put your emotions aside. And I just started laughing
• 1:48
  because that is not true at all. It it.
• 1:51
  In fact, it's even further from the truth because the more
• 1:55
  pressure you are under, the more things that go on in your world,
• 1:58
  the more pressure that's put upon you, the more likely you
• 2:02
  are to have this experience where you have more emotions
• 2:07
  because you've got more at stake, more on the line, more
• 2:11
  going on, more to consider. Every everything is more and
• 2:14
  more and more, more and more. So just believing on even the
• 2:20
  smallest level that your emotions are not going to have
• 2:23
  this massive impact can be detrimental for your well-being.
• 2:27
  Like seriously detrimental for your well-being.
• 2:30
  Now that sounds dramatic and I know, but it's true.
• 2:34
  Because when you discount the, the emotional impact or the the
• 2:38
  fact that emotions are present and ever present, I mean be very
• 2:42
  clear, it's ever present, then you're missing out on your one,
• 2:47
  your ability to to morph them, control them and choose them.
• 2:51
  Really it comes down to the choosing part.
• 2:54
  And additionally, what's so crazy about this is we, we are
• 2:59
  so blinded by our emotions because we are emotional
• 3:03
  creatures. Now, my personal belief is we
• 3:05
  are spiritual beings having an emotional experience here,
• 3:09
  right? And, and it's, it's like, you
• 3:12
  know, sometimes you'll hear it said, well, we're human beings
• 3:14
  having a spiritual experience, which is true also, but those
• 3:17
  spiritual beings are having emotional experiences because
• 3:20
  they're so impactful. So what we have to pay attention
• 3:24
  to is that fact that everything we do was dictated by emotion.
• 3:30
  You know, think about this very simple fact.
• 3:32
  You go to the grocery store and you're going to go buy bananas.
• 3:37
  You walk in and you look at all the bananas and you're scanning
• 3:41
  and you're, you have your type of bananas.
• 3:43
  Now if I'm buying bananas, I'm buying some that are more green
• 3:48
  than ready to eat. That's just I like the flavor of
• 3:51
  them. Now, I have been in a house, my
• 3:54
  mother liked bananas very ripe. So she would buy them and I
• 3:58
  would get so angry and it was just a banana, but just that
• 4:03
  little tiny fact would we would shift.
• 4:06
  I would get annoyed. She would get annoyed that I
• 4:08
  wouldn't eat the, the, I would say mushy bananas and it would
• 4:12
  cause a whole thing and it was just a banana.
• 4:16
  And that choice of a banana was dictated by her emotions.
• 4:19
  If I buy them now, I buy them because guess what?
• 4:22
  It's based off my emotion. Oh, I'm excited.
• 4:25
  I got the good ones right. Oh, oh, there's no good ones.
• 4:28
  Oh, they're just average, always emotional choices, right down to
• 4:34
  the nitty gritty. If you forget that, when you
• 4:38
  forget that, because we all do, we have to come back and say,
• 4:41
  hold on. I've got to figure out where my
• 4:44
  emotional state is residing right now.
• 4:47
  I've got to figure out where I'm resonating so that I don't get
• 4:50
  hooked by the things I don't want to get hooked by.
• 4:53
  And, and is the process complicated?
• 4:56
  No, it's not a complicated process, but it's certainly not
• 4:59
  easy. So the the, the, the point of
• 5:02
  today and, and the entire crux of understanding this is, are
• 5:06
  you ever done managing your emotions?
• 5:09
  Nope. Will you have to do it all the
• 5:11
  time? Yep, all the time.
• 5:14
  And the more you do it, the better you get at it.
• 5:16
  The more you look for them, the better you are at catching them.
• 5:19
  The more you play into them, the more you'll get hooked by them.
• 5:23
  The more you stay neutral and try to choose them, the more you
• 5:28
  will have success with them. Just a quick reminder today.
• 5:32
  All right my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll see
• 5:34
  you tomorrow. Bye.
