- 0:28Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:31When was the last time you actually showed someone, Told
- 0:35someone, but really showed them that you believed in them?
- 0:40I think this is incredibly important as an act of kindness
- 0:45to people, to let them know how much you believe in them because
- 0:49it lifts someone up. And this is something I do
- 0:53regularly based on my the role I have in the world.
- 0:57My calling in the world is to coach people, help people, lift
- 1:01them up, give them different ideas and possibilities of
- 1:04seeing things. But a big part of it is
- 1:07believing in them, helping them believe in themselves.
- 1:11But honestly, it's really me believing in them because
- 1:13sometimes they'll say that to me.
- 1:15Do you believe that I can really do this?
- 1:18And the answer honestly is without question.
- 1:20Because if you're believing the things that you need to believe
- 1:24and taking the actions that you need to be taking and staying
- 1:27consistent in your emotional state, then without question,
- 1:30you can. You can make anything happen
- 1:33when you put your forces in the right direction.
- 1:36Now, I truly believe that this happens across the board and
- 1:42it's just a matter of somebody believing in you.
- 1:45Sometimes you just have to have somebody believe in you.
- 1:48And it's very scary when you don't have people believe in you
- 1:51because you feel like you're all by yourself.
- 1:53And you have to learn to, you know, help yourself.
- 1:57You have to really learn to help yourself.
- 1:59And that's something that I have consistently gone through my
- 2:02whole life doing is making sure that no matter what happened, I
- 2:06believed I could take care of myself.
- 2:09No matter what, I could always believe and myself no matter
- 2:12what because it was so important to me.
- 2:15I did. I have people that believed in
- 2:16me, yes, but I didn't want to just rely on those people also.
- 2:20But it is really nice when you have it.
- 2:22So if if you are a person out there and you've had people
- 2:27believe in you like I have, it's much easier to say, you know
- 2:31what, I'm going to start really believing in myself, using those
- 2:34people from my past. Like even though they're not
- 2:36with me, I know they believed in me.
- 2:38And I'm going to keep remembering that and bringing
- 2:40that forward into myself because that's what I do with my dad and
- 2:44any other teachers that I may have had that really believed in
- 2:47me. I, I focus on that because I
- 2:50know I can bring it forward. Any trainers I've ever had, I
- 2:53know I can bring that forward and I can use it.
- 2:56So it's a tool. But there are people who have
- 2:59never had that. Can you imagine that they've
- 3:01never, ever, ever had that? And that's what I'm talking
- 3:04about. Find a way to bring yourself to
- 3:07a place where you know, without question, you can believe you
- 3:11can 100% give them that gift. And no, it's, it's possible to
- 3:18help somebody lift themselves up, but it's, it takes the
- 3:22ability of saying, you know what, this is important to me.
- 3:26I'm going to do this because I, I not only do it for myself, but
- 3:30I do it for them in the process. And I get the gifts too.
- 3:35So it's to me, this is just such an essential part of it.
- 3:39And more and more and more, I believe that these things are
- 3:42necessary because the world seems so callous and it seems so
- 3:49opposite of what we want to create.
- 3:51And the most important part of it is to recognize that we have
- 3:54the gifts that change it, and we change it. 1 belief at a time,
- 3:59one compliment at a time, one tiny action at a time.
- 4:03It doesn't have to be all these big grandiose items that go out
- 4:07there. It just has to be 1 little bit
- 4:09at a time. And the more we do it 1 little
- 4:11bit at a time, the better off we all are.
- 4:14So I highly encourage this to go on.
- 4:18Find someone, even if it's just giving people compliments.
- 4:22You know, you go get coffee. Most of us go get coffee and we
- 4:25just order our coffee and walk out the door.
- 4:28We say thank you and we walk out the door.
- 4:30Some people don't even say thank you, but I believe anybody who
- 4:32listens here says thank you. So when you're standing there
- 4:37and you're talking to somebody, say, you know, I come here every
- 4:40day or you're not talking to them, let's say, but you're
- 4:42standing there waiting for your coffee.
- 4:44You say, you know, I come here every day and I just want you to
- 4:46know how much I appreciate the fact that you make my coffee
- 4:49every day. You will see people light up
- 4:52because that's like a little sprinkle of I believe in you,
- 4:56thank you. And sometimes you have to use
- 4:58the exact words. Listen, I just want you to know
- 5:00I believe in you. I believe that you're going to
- 5:03be amazing at whatever you choose to do.
- 5:06And if this is what you choose to do, you already are amazing
- 5:09at it. Give somebody the gift to my
- 5:10friends and watch them blossom and give yourself that gift too
- 5:14because it makes a mad difference.
- 5:16All right, my friends, I will see you tomorrow.
- 5:19Have a blessed day. Bye.
