  Hey everybody, good morning. From the chicken coop, Joseph
• 0:31
  Murphy is quoted as saying. You were born with everything
• 0:34
  you need to have a successful life.
• 0:37
  Now this quote disturbs some people because they think, well,
• 0:40
  I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth or I wasn't
• 0:43
  born with the gifts that other people have or I'm short.
• 0:46
  I'm too tall, I'm too overweight, I'm too skinny, I'm
• 0:52
  not smart enough. There's a list of things that we
• 0:55
  can call on and say, hey, we didn't get what we you know, we
• 0:58
  need to be successful. But here's the truth.
• 1:01
  He wasn't wrong. Because everything that we need
• 1:04
  in order to be successful becomes very clear to us when we
• 1:08
  focus on what we believe about ourselves.
• 1:12
  And if we believe we're deficient, then our job in those
• 1:15
  deficiencies is to say, OK, what do I need to do and change it
• 1:19
  within my own mindset to be successful.
• 1:23
  And one of those biggest things is 1 having that faith that you
• 1:27
  already have everything you need to be successful.
• 1:29
  And two, to recognize that actually having faith of some
• 1:35
  sort, and I'm not talking religious faith, spiritual
• 1:38
  faith, religious faith, it can be whatever you want to claim
• 1:41
  not to be. But having something like that
• 1:44
  in your pocket, in your heart, actively working with it, is
• 1:50
  imperative in my opinion, because otherwise you're
• 1:53
  grinding it out by yourself and it doesn't really work.
• 1:56
  So I've been asked, you know, do you have faith?
• 2:00
  So the the answer is yes. Do I have spirituality?
• 2:03
  Yes. You know, I was raised in a very
• 2:07
  different environment as far as religion goes.
• 2:11
  We had many different religions in our family and I was exposed
• 2:16
  to all of them. And to this day I always say
• 2:19
  that it was the biggest gift because it allowed me to see all
• 2:23
  of it and pick and choose what really worked for me.
• 2:26
  But the in the bottom, you know, when you get to the bottom of it
• 2:29
  all and you analyze it, the truth is, I just know that I
• 2:33
  don't know exactly what is true. But what I do know is true is
• 2:39
  that we are not alone. We are not alone.
• 2:42
  This world is connected. We are all interconnected.
• 2:45
  We are operating on an energetic level that is incredibly
• 2:50
  dynamic. And when we tap into it, when we
• 2:52
  choose to actively tap into that dynamic and work within it and
• 2:59
  don't feel alone, and then everything changes.
• 3:02
  And I can tell you without question that I do not feel
• 3:05
  alone. I I just don't.
• 3:07
  I never feel alone. I might feel confused sometimes.
• 3:10
  I might feel frustrated, and I might feel aggravated.
• 3:12
  All those things. Yes, because I am human, but I
• 3:15
  do not feel alone. So I want to.
• 3:18
  I want to really stress the fact that if you are experiencing the
• 3:21
  things where you feel like you're by yourself as this, you
• 3:25
  know, New Year starts, maybe that's the thing that you have
• 3:29
  to tap into the quickest and the most is figuring out how you're
• 3:33
  going to essentially work on your spirituality this year.
• 3:38
  Bring that piece out. Work on your faith this year.
• 3:42
  Work on something that you can choose to believe in, whatever
• 3:45
  that something may be. It's very advantageous if you
• 3:49
  decide to do something like that because it's going to help you
• 3:53
  most of all get yourself straightened out and taken care
• 3:57
  of. It's definitely going to do
• 3:58
  that. So I would suggest highly
• 4:01
  suggest without question that you ask yourself the question,
• 4:05
  OK, what do I believe in? What are the things that that
• 4:08
  help me be a better me? What are those things that keep
• 4:12
  me in that, that feeling of connectivity, of connectedness,
• 4:18
  of feeling that you know I have something else to rely on?
• 4:22
  Because I know for myself, when times get tough, when things go
• 4:26
  awry and I circle the wagons mentally in my head, one of the
• 4:31
  greatest gifts I have is the belief that the universe always
• 4:35
  has my back. It is always conspiring for my
• 4:38
  greater good. I'm the one that gets in the way
• 4:40
  with my crappy mindset, my attitude sometimes, my
• 4:44
  frustration, my inability to not get into how head.
• 4:49
  And yes, that happens to me just like it happens to everybody.
• 4:53
  When we get into that how head we screw ourselves and we have
• 4:56
  to stop it. So first and foremost, this is
• 5:00
  imperative. What do you want to believe
• 5:02
  about yourself this year? What are you going to allow
• 5:05
  yourself to develop so that you know you can rely on this and
• 5:09
  you know you can do it? If there's one thing that I know
• 5:13
  for sure, it's that you have to work at it.
• 5:17
  You have to allow yourself to consistently feel it, pour on it
• 5:22
  and really believe it when you cultivate it.
• 5:26
  It works just like a garden. OK my friends, get on it and I
• 5:31
  will see you tomorrow. Have a blessed day.
• 5:34
  Bye.
