  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop, some sitting
• 0:31
  here with one of the little chicks on my lap.
• 0:34
  We actually had two of them, the twins, and one of them didn't
• 0:40
  make it. I hit by a hawk last week,
• 0:43
  haven't talked about it because it really bothered me.
• 0:45
  But this one is turning out to be quite a little Princess, and
• 0:50
  she likes to sit on my lap now. So when I sat down to record the
• 0:53
  podcast, she just hopped right into my lap.
• 0:56
  Still need a name for her? I haven't decided what it's
• 0:58
  going to be yet, but can probably hear her peeping
• 1:02
  anyway. So some food for thought today.
• 1:06
  If you really want to fly and you really want to make special
• 1:09
  things happen, you have to give up.
• 1:11
  What weighs you down? You have to make sure that your
• 1:15
  flight is able to be balanced. You have to be able to say this
• 1:19
  is not stuff I need to take with me.
• 1:21
  I'm getting rid of it. Whether it's emotional baggage,
• 1:24
  whether it's actual baggage, meaning I got to clear out some
• 1:28
  junk in my house or any place else, your office, whatever,
• 1:32
  you're doing, mental junk, physical junk, all of it.
• 1:36
  It is a part of the process. To purge.
• 1:41
  And we've talked about that before, but this one is if you
• 1:44
  really want to fly, you got to get rid of what weighs you down.
• 1:48
  You've got to get rid of the stuff that makes you feel not
• 1:51
  great and move you to a more consistent direction of feeling
• 1:58
  completely and totally. Thrilled and abundant and
• 2:02
  whatever it is that you're doing.
• 2:04
  So I often think about that like, you know, when you're
• 2:07
  starting something new and you really want to make it
• 2:09
  fantastic, one of the biggest things that weighs us down is
• 2:13
  our doubt. We our doubt weighs us down.
• 2:16
  Whatever we're doing, if we're moving and we're starting over
• 2:18
  in a new area or starting a new project or writing a book or
• 2:23
  doing whatever, looking for a new job, applying for something
• 2:27
  that you haven't tried before. You have to be willing to just
• 2:31
  say, OK, all this doubt, all this fear, all this crap that's
• 2:36
  at the front of my bus that's driving.
• 2:38
  I have to get it out. I have to, like, put it out of
• 2:43
  the driver's seat. Now again, you can't kick these
• 2:45
  emotions off the bus, but you certainly can put them in the
• 2:48
  baggage compartment underneath the damn bus.
• 2:51
  And recognizing that there is a part that's so imperative in
• 2:56
  this, just getting rid of the idea that you have to hang on to
• 3:02
  it, you have to keep thinking about it.
• 3:04
  That is a huge piece to let go of.
• 3:06
  You don't need to keep thinking about it.
• 3:07
  Once you've had the thought and you've said, okay, do I need to
• 3:10
  pay attention to this, Let it go.
• 3:12
  Just let it take off. Drop it so that it doesn't
• 3:16
  bother you anymore because it will just continually keep
• 3:19
  coming back and knocking on the door.
• 3:21
  You don't make the decision to say I've had enough of this.
• 3:24
  No thank you. I've said no.
• 3:26
  So you you don't have to pretend like you're ignoring it.
• 3:29
  You can actually say, OK, I'm going to think about this for,
• 3:33
  you know, 10 seconds, 15 seconds.
• 3:36
  Write it down. If you have doubt about
• 3:38
  something, figure it out, but let it go so you can soar.
• 3:41
  There is no way. To make the greatness happen if
• 3:46
  you don't decide that, you have to let go of those things that
• 3:50
  put you in a position to hold you back.
• 3:54
  And part of the process is you believing that you can do that.
• 3:57
  So I'm telling you, I'm here to tell you you can let go of those
• 4:02
  things. You can change.
• 4:03
  It doesn't matter how old you are.
• 4:05
  For those who were like I've been this way forever.
• 4:07
  No. You can change.
• 4:09
  It doesn't matter what's happened to you.
• 4:10
  You can change. It doesn't.
• 4:12
  None of it makes a difference. What makes the difference is
• 4:15
  that you make the decision to change it, to make it happen.
• 4:20
  I can't force you to do it. Nobody else can force you to do
• 4:22
  it. But unless and.
• 4:23
  Until you make that decision to say I've had enough of this,
• 4:28
  it's time for me to soar. You know, this is where you are.
• 4:32
  You. You'll keep doing it.
• 4:34
  And here's what's interesting. This isn't a journey that goes
• 4:38
  on, you know, forever and ever and ever.
• 4:42
  So why not jump in and have it be the most amazing flight
• 4:46
  possible? You want to soar.
• 4:49
  You make the decision. I'm going to soar.
• 4:51
  And you see that as the outcome and you do it and you don't
• 4:57
  doubt yourself. Yeah, it's going to pop up, but
• 5:00
  you don't have to own it. So on that note.
• 5:04
  I hope you guys have a very blessed day.
• 5:06
  I hope you find your way to soar today.
• 5:09
  And I hope you realize that you are the only one that can
• 5:11
  confront those demons when they show up and tell them thanks for
• 5:14
  sharing. I got it.
• 5:16
  And I'm moving forward and take off and soar like crazy.
• 5:20
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:23
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
