• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So, today I want to talk to you about the theory of just letting
• 0:36
  go and moving forward. You know, oftentimes really
• 0:40
  crappy things. Happen to us really crappy
• 0:42
  things happen to us and there is no Rhyme or Reason to it.
• 0:47
  We can't justify it. We can't figure out why we don't
• 0:49
  understand it and so many times we get stuck because we are
• 0:54
  trying to process it and trying to make sense out of it, because
• 0:57
  our huge puny human brains try very hard to make.
• 1:00
  It's of it. And we are always asking the
• 1:02
  question, why? And to me, anyone who coaches
• 1:05
  with me, knows I hate the. Why question, I hate that
• 1:08
  question so much because why puts us in a position where we
• 1:12
  either have to defend what we believe or were left, empty,
• 1:17
  trying to connect dots. And oftentimes, we have to just
• 1:21
  recognize that we do not understand why something
• 1:24
  happened and our brains cannot connect any dots.
• 1:27
  We cannot figure things out and we never will.
• 1:30
  So We spend our time spinning, our Wheels trying to figure
• 1:34
  something out that's absolutely ridiculous pointless and we
• 1:37
  can't do it. And when we have a loss of a
• 1:40
  loved one, when we have things show up in our lives, that don't
• 1:44
  make any sense. When things randomly show up
• 1:47
  that we can't justify as to. Well, you know, someone who was
• 1:51
  perfectly healthy died or somebody who seemed like they
• 1:55
  were in the perfect relationship walked out the door or, you
• 1:58
  know, randomly someone This is a job because of something that
• 2:02
  they can't make sense of we sit there.
• 2:05
  And we say, well, I don't understand what happened.
• 2:07
  I don't understand why. Well, letting go of Y, is one of
• 2:11
  the most important things that we can do because often the
• 2:16
  lessons the learning, the moving us forward are never going to be
• 2:20
  found in Wise. They're just not we're not
• 2:23
  capable of putting together. Those dots, I myself have sat
• 2:27
  there for years of my life trying to figure Figure out.
• 2:31
  What was the reason that someone came into my life?
• 2:33
  And I remember the point in time when I would sit there and say
• 2:37
  to my friend, you know, I just don't understand why ever it was
• 2:40
  in, you know, how this relationship with this person
• 2:42
  ever was in the situation. I don't get it and why did this
• 2:46
  happen? But it was before I understood
• 2:48
  the theory of just letting why go and years and years later all
• 2:55
  of a sudden, I was able to connect the dots.
• 2:57
  Now, that's even a rarity oftentimes we Connect the dots.
• 3:01
  And I will say this, the dots that I connected may or may not
• 3:04
  have been true. I do believe that we Are
• 3:07
  Spiritual creatures, having a human experience.
• 3:11
  And in the process of having a human experience, we don't
• 3:15
  always understand our reasons. That things are showing up in
• 3:19
  our world. What we can see is what we can
• 3:22
  we can comprehend, but we don't understand what we don't know.
• 3:26
  In other words, we never know what we don't know.
• 3:29
  So when we start to connect dots, But we are only doing it
• 3:32
  from the perspective of what we know and I truly believe that
• 3:36
  Souls come here and oftentimes their journey is not necessarily
• 3:44
  something that we can comprehend and fit in with.
• 3:48
  So, when a soul comes and goes quickly, we say, I don't
• 3:51
  understand why that happened. Why did they have to go?
• 3:54
  And it brings us such heartache but sometimes those heartaches
• 3:58
  move us forward. I mean, I lost my dad when he
• 4:00
  was 57 years old. And I've talked about this
• 4:03
  before on this podcast, but if I hadn't lost my dad, if he hadn't
• 4:09
  passed away, when he was young, I would have never ever ever
• 4:14
  moved into self-development the way that I did.
• 4:17
  I would have stayed in, you know, advertising and marketing.
• 4:20
  I would have continued on the path that I was on.
• 4:22
  I wouldn't have written books. I wouldn't have been the coach I
• 4:25
  am today. I wouldn't have been there for
• 4:26
  all the clients that I have and the thousands and thousands of
• 4:30
  people. That I've been able to speak to
• 4:32
  and help and move them wouldn't have happened.
• 4:35
  I can guarantee you that wouldn't have happened.
• 4:37
  So me being in his life and having to deal with that
• 4:40
  experience, moved me in a way that I cannot explain.
• 4:44
  Was it painful? Yes, did it, did it put me in a
• 4:47
  position of growth? Yes.
• 4:50
  Could I have done all of that without his loss, boy?
• 4:55
  I don't think so. I think it took his loss to put
• 4:58
  me into a place where I dig for this all the time.
• 5:01
  If I hadn't had the experience of six miscarriages, would I
• 5:05
  have ever adopted my son and had the experience that I have no
• 5:10
  wouldn't have happened and all that pain, all that anguish, all
• 5:15
  those thoughts, all that stuff that I went through, I could
• 5:19
  have never understood, and I would have, never ever, ever
• 5:22
  done the things that I did. So, instead of trying to make
• 5:26
  heads or tails out of it and justify it instead, it's Like
• 5:31
  asking yourself a different question.
• 5:32
  What can I take forward with me? What can I use to move forward
• 5:36
  with? How can I take this information
• 5:38
  and put myself into a better position with it?
• 5:41
  What are the thoughts that I need to take forward and believe
• 5:46
  and act into everyday? Life is about asking better
• 5:50
  questions and when things like the unexpected show up, that's
• 5:56
  what it's all about. So I'm going to challenge you
• 5:58
  guys to look at whatever situations.
• 6:00
  Going through as simple or as complicated as they made, be ask
• 6:04
  better questions. Stop asking.
• 6:07
  Why? Because it's useless and figure
• 6:10
  out better ways that you can collect that information and
• 6:12
  move forward. I hope you guys truly have a
• 6:15
  blessed week this week. A blessed day today and I will
• 6:19
  see you all tomorrow. Ask better questions.
• 6:23
  Bye.
