  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So today we are talking about being scared all the time.
• 0:36
  And I will tell you there is value in ditching being scared
• 0:41
  all the time. It doesn't help.
• 0:44
  It doesn't help. I wanna be the first one to tell
• 0:46
  you. It doesn't help past the initial
• 0:49
  impact that it's supposed to give you.
• 0:51
  And let's think about this for a second.
• 0:53
  When scared is driving your bus, fear is driving your bus when.
• 0:57
  Something in that, whatever your word for that is when that's
• 1:01
  driving your bus, the purpose of it is, is to make you pay
• 1:05
  attention and to see what alternatives you have to take
• 1:09
  care of yourself. You don't need to stay in it
• 1:11
  past that. We just do because it's
• 1:14
  ingrained in us to be afraid. We can't get away from it.
• 1:18
  You've heard me talk about this before.
• 1:20
  You can't. You can't get away from it.
• 1:22
  It is part of how we are hardwired and we will absolutely
• 1:26
  100%. Go to that quickly because just
• 1:30
  like chickens which they are such a great metaphor for this
• 1:32
  one, they are inherently prey drive.
• 1:35
  So they are always afraid to a certain point.
• 1:38
  That's why they don't like their humans to pick them up.
• 1:40
  You know a part of a chicken group online.
• 1:42
  And they always people who are new to chickens will go.
• 1:45
  They won't let me snuggle them. They won't let me pick them up
• 1:48
  and they get mad at the chickens for that and they say what kind
• 1:51
  of breed will do that and everyone laughs and they're
• 1:52
  like. Their prey items, everything
• 1:55
  wants to eat them. Owls, Hawks, Eagles, dogs,
• 1:58
  coyotes, foxes, anything you can think of.
• 2:01
  Raccoons will mutilate them and eat them so they are inherently
• 2:05
  afraid of the world. Now, mine have a little bit of a
• 2:09
  gift in the fact that we've really set them up so that their
• 2:12
  fear is not constantly present with them.
• 2:14
  Plus they have Beaufort. For those of you who follow me
• 2:16
  on social media, know that Beaufort is our very large, very
• 2:20
  big American bulldog that protects our farm.
• 2:23
  And he's serious. He he is.
• 2:25
  He doesn't play and he takes good care of them.
• 2:29
  But you know, they're still prey items, so it's part of them.
• 2:32
  And we are very much wired the same way from eons ago.
• 2:35
  We have this wiring, but it it still needs a job.
• 2:39
  It doesn't. We don't have the same things
• 2:41
  that happened back then and it definitely sets us up to operate
• 2:45
  in a very unresourceful way most days.
• 2:47
  So the very first thing you have to realize is that, you know,
• 2:51
  being scared all the time robs you of doing the things you are
• 2:55
  supposed to do because you will get scared and you won't do
• 2:58
  them. So you've got to realize right
• 3:02
  out of the chute that you're being scared.
• 3:04
  And then you have to say, OK, real or perceived.
• 3:07
  Is this real? Or is this perceived?
• 3:09
  Is the threat going to get me, or is it just something I'm
• 3:12
  perceiving because it's outside my comfort zone?
• 3:14
  It's something I've never done before and usually it's that one
• 3:18
  once you get that information. Then it's your job at that point
• 3:22
  in time to say, you know what, I'm going to ditch being scared
• 3:24
  all the time because I don't know how much time I have on
• 3:27
  this planet. None of us do.
• 3:28
  We don't come with an expiration tag.
• 3:30
  It doesn't say used before. And would it be helpful to do
• 3:33
  that? I mean, I don't know.
• 3:34
  It's kind of funny often contemplated that, but I don't
• 3:37
  think it would be because then we just all be running around
• 3:41
  very. Aggressively trying to get
• 3:43
  everything in beforehand without being thoughtful of other
• 3:47
  things. So it is incredibly important
• 3:50
  overall to just make it a sense, a daily sense, for yourself to
• 3:57
  say, you know, what if I'm, if I'm just not proceeding forward
• 4:02
  with the recurring thoughts of things that I want to do, want
• 4:07
  to get done, want to make happen?
• 4:09
  Is it because I'm scared all the time and make a decision to
• 4:13
  ditch being scared all the time? Because that's not going to help
• 4:15
  you, That's not going to get you where you want to go, That's not
• 4:18
  going to put you into a place of feeling empowered?
• 4:21
  All that's going to do, the only thing that that's going to do,
• 4:24
  is give you the ability to hide and take yourself out of the
• 4:30
  game. And nobody ever wins if you're
• 4:33
  not in the game. It's like buying a lottery
• 4:34
  ticket. Everyone complains.
• 4:35
  I don't win the lottery. Well, I guess I don't buy
• 4:37
  tickets either. Well.
• 4:38
  Guess what? If you don't buy a ticket,
• 4:39
  you're never going to win. And that's what this is like in
• 4:42
  my mind. That's what this is like.
• 4:44
  So you have to change that part of yourself to participate and
• 4:48
  win on a big level. So I challenge you to think
• 4:51
  about this in a really, really specific way.
• 4:54
  Keep checking in with yourself. And set make the decision and
• 4:57
  say, you know what, I am just going to ditch being scared all
• 5:00
  the time because I'm sick of it taking me out.
• 5:03
  And nobody can take you out but you.
• 5:05
  The circumstances don't take you out.
• 5:07
  People have conquered much larger circumstances in all
• 5:10
  kinds of ways. People have conquered tons of
• 5:13
  things. Whether it's financial,
• 5:15
  physical, emotional, doesn't matter.
• 5:18
  What matters is that they made the decision to to ditch that
• 5:22
  and do something different. So put your thought process
• 5:26
  towards that, get your butts in gear and I will see you all
• 5:30
  tomorrow and I hope you have a very blessed day.
• 5:32
  Bye.
