• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  We Are talking about optimism today.
• 0:34
  Well, I want to say this, I have been accused of being overly
• 0:38
  optimistic. I have been accused of holding a
• 0:42
  ridiculously Relentless view of things and pushing, pushing
• 0:47
  pushing for it. I have been accused of having
• 0:51
  too much of a positive attitude because it made other people
• 0:56
  feel like I was unrealistic. Well, let me tell you I think
• 1:01
  I've never once regretted it not 45 seconds, because I just feel
• 1:06
  like if you're going to be something in this world, you
• 1:09
  might as well go out there and be the best you can be and why
• 1:13
  not be optimistic. You know, there's a quote from
• 1:16
  Elon Musk he says I'd rather be optimistic and be wrong than
• 1:21
  pessimistic and be right. Oh, I love that quote so much.
• 1:25
  I mean, it just lights me up when I hear it every single time
• 1:28
  because the truth is A lot of it, we don't know.
• 1:32
  There's so many things that are unknown in this world, in this
• 1:35
  universe right down to, you know what, you're even going to have
• 1:40
  for dinner. Like, you don't even know
• 1:41
  probably what you're going to have for dinner, right now as
• 1:43
  you're listening to it. Maybe you do.
• 1:45
  But there's so many unknowns across the board and right when
• 1:50
  you think something is going to happen possibility, is something
• 1:53
  could change. But being optimistic in general,
• 1:56
  having an optimistic attitude thinking about things and being
• 2:00
  in Probably optimistic about them is absolutely essential to
• 2:03
  your mental well-being, without that without having that you
• 2:08
  induce a sense of Doubt into your world and all of a sudden,
• 2:11
  everything just seems a little bit harder, I'll takes a little
• 2:15
  bit longer, it has a little bit more of a dark side flavor to
• 2:19
  it. And for what reason, for what
• 2:22
  reason, it's not going to give you any more value to be that
• 2:25
  way. You know, I've often talked
• 2:27
  about the fact that I had a situation.
• 2:30
  Ation growing up where I had one parent that was very optimistic,
• 2:33
  and I had one parent that was very pessimistic and living in
• 2:37
  that situation. I learned the value of both, you
• 2:40
  know, pessimism is with us. Just like all our emotions are
• 2:43
  with us for you. No good reason because you're
• 2:46
  supposed to learn something from it but you don't stay in it
• 2:50
  because it's not going to help your soul grow.
• 2:53
  So the question you have to ask yourself, is am I having more
• 2:57
  optimistic thoughts than pessimistic?
• 2:59
  Thoughts am I? Allowing myself to go into that
• 3:03
  state of optimism. Turn up the vibration from
• 3:06
  having that, and then really start manifesting from that
• 3:10
  place. Instead of one of pessimism, you
• 3:12
  know, I think I can speak for all of us.
• 3:15
  If you're on this channel and you're listening, pretty much,
• 3:19
  don't want to hang out with pessimistic people.
• 3:21
  I mean I know I don't if I get around somebody and they're
• 3:24
  really pessimistic, I will go play with the dog.
• 3:27
  I am the girl at the party who will sit on the floor and play
• 3:30
  with the dog? Because I do not want to deal
• 3:32
  with negative people, I don't want to deal with negative
• 3:36
  thoughts, I don't like it. It doesn't, it doesn't help
• 3:39
  anything. It's not getting you past.
• 3:41
  Identifying that. There's a need and giving you
• 3:44
  the information. There's no purpose for them.
• 3:47
  They're just meant as a tool. And when you don't use them, the
• 3:49
  right way, they eat you up, they spit you out and they certainly
• 3:53
  don't make you feel good or happy.
• 3:55
  So, I think you have to ask yourself over and over and over
• 3:59
  again, you know? Is in my as my worldview,
• 4:03
  something that I can be proud of.
• 4:05
  Am I going out there every day and my spreading optimism and my
• 4:08
  making somebody smile today. Am I giving somebody hope for a
• 4:12
  better future? A better week, a better day.
• 4:16
  A better moment. Am I finding little ways to do
• 4:20
  all those things? Now I can tell you, even when I
• 4:23
  spend a lot of time here on the farm, you know, because I'm
• 4:26
  coaching I'm working, I'm doing all these things.
• 4:28
  I spend a lot of time with my My animals, but let me tell you
• 4:32
  something. I spend a lot of time being
• 4:35
  optimistic with them. I spend a lot of time pouring
• 4:39
  into them, giving them the best lives that I can give them.
• 4:43
  Treating them spoiling them. That's why my girls in my
• 4:45
  chicken coop are spoiled and I have no problem with that.
• 4:49
  I love doing it because it fills me up as much as it fills them
• 4:53
  up. It gives me something to feel
• 4:55
  really, really great about and I have no intention of changing
• 4:59
  that anytime soon. I'm incredibly happy about that.
• 5:02
  I'm incredibly proud of that and I will say.
• 5:06
  Bye me. Filling myself up all the time.
• 5:08
  What ends up happening is, I'm able to go out and light that
• 5:11
  candle with someone who doesn't have it there, sparklet, I can
• 5:16
  actually walk over, and I feel so great.
• 5:18
  I'm vibrating at such a high level.
• 5:21
  I can go over and touch someone, and it doesn't matter if I'm
• 5:23
  just checking out of a grocery store, I can do it and I can
• 5:26
  make somebody feel amazing. You know, I and I do.
• 5:30
  Do that regularly on purpose. So find your purpose to do that.
• 5:36
  Pull towards that optimistic side.
• 5:38
  Listen to that very wonderful. Elon Musk quote, I would rather
• 5:42
  be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right because it
• 5:47
  doesn't do anything to change the world and that's what we're
• 5:50
  here to do. In my opinion.
• 5:52
  We each and every one of us are here to fill somebody up and
• 5:55
  change the world. So I've just touched you for the
• 5:58
  day. Now, you go touch somebody else.
• 6:00
  Else. All right, my friends.
• 6:02
  I will talk to you tomorrow. I hope you have a blessed
• 6:05
  optimistic day. Bye.
• 6:00
  Else. All right, my friends.
• 6:02
  I will talk to you tomorrow. I hope you have a blessed
• 6:05
  optimistic day. Bye.
