• 0:23
  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:29
  Good morning from the Porch today because we are in a very,
• 0:34
  very, very heavy rainstorm. I had to let the girls out and
• 0:38
  it was too rainy to record over there.
• 0:41
  So windy because it was coming in the door.
• 0:43
  So, it was just messy. So, this morning, we're doing it
• 0:46
  from the porch, so you can still hear him.
• 0:49
  He's in the lawn right now. Apparently they don't mind the
• 0:53
  rain. I don't mind it either because
• 0:55
  it's taking care of all the stuff that's growing.
• 0:57
  However, I don't want to be soaking wet but Just to my
• 1:01
  point. Today we're talking about being
• 1:03
  adaptable and this is one thing that I absolutely love about my
• 1:08
  chickens is that they are really, really adaptable to
• 1:11
  whatever happens if it's pouring, they figure out what
• 1:15
  they're doing. They are out anyway, you'll see
• 1:18
  them in the lawn. If it's not raining too hard,
• 1:20
  they are all over our farm free-ranging.
• 1:23
  If it's pouring, they run, they find other places to be.
• 1:27
  They go under their Coop because it's elevated.
• 1:29
  So they can hide I'd they will sit under a tree, they will come
• 1:33
  on the porch, which I think is really funny.
• 1:35
  They'll all sit on the porch and like wait and again, the being
• 1:39
  adaptable factor is huge and I admire them for that.
• 1:44
  They are quickly adaptable. As soon as I put them into the
• 1:48
  new Coupe, they didn't complain that you know it wasn't the old
• 1:52
  Coupe or they were missing things or anything else.
• 1:54
  They figured out where their spot was and they were good
• 1:57
  whatever happens with them. They seem to be Adaptable, even
• 2:01
  the tragedies when we lose chickens and it happens because
• 2:04
  just last week, I found one of my chickens and she was just
• 2:08
  there on the ground dead and no visible signs of anything that
• 2:13
  happened and we suspect something must have spooked her.
• 2:19
  And she got hit and she just probably broke her neck or
• 2:23
  something. Because her neck didn't look
• 2:25
  right, but no wounds. So no Hawks and there was no
• 2:28
  warning in the area from anything else.
• 2:30
  But But in any event they saw her there and they didn't dwell
• 2:35
  on it and the lesson in this that I want to talk to you about
• 2:40
  today is just that this this ability to be so quickly,
• 2:44
  adaptable makes it so that they can survive, they are prey
• 2:49
  items. Let's be very clear about it.
• 2:50
  Everything wants to eat a chicken possum, raccoons, foxes
• 2:54
  coyotes, dogs, Hawks owls. I could Eagles, we could go on
• 3:00
  and on about the The list of things here where we live that
• 3:03
  are predators for them but they don't spend their life worried
• 3:09
  about that. They just don't, they just move
• 3:11
  on. If they get scared, they're
• 3:13
  scared for a short period of time and then they're like, okay
• 3:16
  let's move on and they do. And I think that that's such a
• 3:20
  fantastic trait, it's kind of like dogs, they move on.
• 3:25
  It is so quickly apparent to me how much while we want to
• 3:31
  believe because we're the higher thinking species that we are.
• 3:34
  So have the, such a great ability to adapt.
• 3:38
  Oftentimes, we are not really adapting.
• 3:41
  What we're doing is living in fear, and we've cut away a part
• 3:45
  of ourselves because we're in such a state of fear, as to as
• 3:48
  opposed to being truly adaptable where you look and you go, okay?
• 3:52
  You know what, this is, how it's going to.
• 3:54
  I'm going to change this. Is what's going to happen and
• 3:56
  you let the rest of it go. So the adaptability is taking
• 4:00
  what you can learn from a situation and then moving on,
• 4:04
  not dwelling, in it, not having a, an overwhelming sense of.
• 4:10
  How am I going to stay safe? How am I going to, you know,
• 4:15
  avoid this from ever happening again?
• 4:17
  Because when you live in avoidance, you actually avoid
• 4:20
  good stuff, too. And this level of adaptability
• 4:24
  that we need to create Eight for ourselves, has to be built out
• 4:28
  of a constant state of awareness for what emotions, we're using
• 4:33
  day-to-day being adaptable, looking at something and, and
• 4:37
  being able to shift when, you know, you need to and letting go
• 4:43
  of what those old emotions were that are holding.
• 4:45
  You back is so critically important to real growth re.
• 4:50
  And I, when I say real growth, I mean not just growing and
• 4:55
  getting little tiny pieces from it, which is still fine.
• 4:58
  But real growth is when you let go of the emotion of it, when
• 5:02
  you can tell your story and you're not in tears, you can say
• 5:07
  this is what happened. But that was a different version
• 5:10
  of myself. That is hard work, my friends
• 5:13
  but it's so worth it. Believe me.
• 5:14
  I know I've had to do it multiple times and now I can
• 5:17
  talk about things. Now, I can tell the stories and
• 5:20
  I don't fall to pieces because there's no emotional
• 5:23
  connectivity to it. I just not know, it brought me
• 5:25
  to who I am today. So work on your adaptability
• 5:30
  work on letting go of those emotions work on being able to
• 5:33
  shift and just taking what you can be adaptable.
• 5:38
  All right, my friends. I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:40
  Hopefully right from the chicken coop, and I hope you have a
• 5:43
  blessed day. Bye.
