  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:29
  Good morning from the Chicken Coop.
• 0:31
  So, talking today, about the fact that sometimes, we can't
• 0:37
  get out of our own way to accept help.
• 0:39
  And we just don't have the tendency to say, I'll take the
• 0:44
  help. The problem with this theory of
• 0:47
  like, not accepting help. Is that sometimes you actually
• 0:51
  need the help. Sometimes, you actually need the
• 0:54
  help, and you might not like it that you need help, but needing
• 0:58
  the help is part of being human. And Or it's just part of nature.
• 1:03
  So and it's obvious sometimes it's like right in front of us
• 1:06
  and we're just so stubborn, we can't see it.
• 1:08
  I'm going to tell you a story this morning about one of the
• 1:10
  chickens because it's so fits into this.
• 1:13
  So, in the chicken world, for those of you who don't know,
• 1:16
  there's something called going Broody which means you decide.
• 1:19
  You want to sit on eggs, you you want to make that journey to do,
• 1:23
  21 days of basically isolating yourself, doing nothing that
• 1:26
  your normal chicken Behavior allows and just sitting on eggs.
• 1:30
  For 21 days, you might get up for an hour each day, go off,
• 1:35
  get water, scratch around, eat some food but you go right back
• 1:38
  on and there, they almost go into a trance.
• 1:41
  It's very unique to watch it happen.
• 1:45
  Well, I have one that goes Broody regularly and she will
• 1:48
  just sit on eggs any time I want and she you I'm sure you've
• 1:52
  heard me talk about her. Winnie, she's amazing.
• 1:54
  She's one of the coolest chickens ever, but she's got a
• 1:57
  great attitude and then I had a whole group of once before.
• 2:01
  It's a Don eggs and they didn't do a good job and so I just
• 2:03
  don't let them do it anymore. But this season, I happen to
• 2:07
  have a couple of new ones that they're young, but they wanted
• 2:10
  to try to sit on eggs. So one of them is and they all
• 2:14
  do this in egg boxes which holds up the other chickens, they
• 2:17
  can't get in. So I'm always looking to see
• 2:20
  who's who I think is going to be the one that's going to be able
• 2:23
  to actually do it because when they don't do it, you end up
• 2:25
  with half fertilized eggs and it's awful.
• 2:28
  They're fertilized eggs but they hadn't but have to Philip tags.
• 2:31
  I should said, and it's an awful feeling to know that those eggs
• 2:35
  are sitting in there, and then, if I hatch them out without the
• 2:38
  mom, they don't get integrated into the group easily.
• 2:40
  It's very complicated, but it's not the point of my story.
• 2:43
  The point of my story is, so I see that this is happening.
• 2:47
  So there's one in there that I think.
• 2:51
  Okay, she seems like she's got a good attitude.
• 2:53
  She seems really friendly. I'm going to help her out.
• 2:56
  I'm going to move her over to the brooder.
• 2:58
  I take eggs. I move her into Different spot
• 3:01
  in the coop. So she's protected from the
• 3:03
  other chickens she can sit on them as long as she wants and
• 3:07
  the babies will be protected and it's it's like a system that we
• 3:10
  created. So I move her over there.
• 3:13
  Immediately, she gets up. She goes back to where she was
• 3:16
  like, okay I'm trying to help you.
• 3:18
  Let me help you. If you stay over here and I'm
• 3:20
  talking to her and I put her in there again, she gets up and she
• 3:23
  goes so we do this because sometimes it's just hard to get
• 3:27
  them to face like, you know. Okay, I'm going to move.
• 3:30
  And I do this approximately 10 times and she still doesn't get
• 3:35
  it. She still doesn't get it.
• 3:36
  She still doesn't get it. And in the meantime, there's
• 3:39
  another chicken over there. Marilyn Monroe.
• 3:41
  That's happens to be her name and she's doing the same thing.
• 3:45
  She's got the same behavior, so I'm like, okay, she's a little
• 3:47
  scarier as a chicken. She's very big and she has an
• 3:50
  attitude, and she's beautiful. So, I'm like, okay, I don't know
• 3:54
  if Marilyn can do this. So, I put Marilyn in there and
• 3:58
  Marilyn gets up and goes away just like the other one did.
• 4:00
  I'm like, okay, move her, put her back, move her, put her
• 4:03
  back. And I'm like, Marilyn.
• 4:04
  Let me turn to help you. If you stay in here you can have
• 4:07
  babies. Same thing.
• 4:09
  I did with the other one. Guess what happens?
• 4:12
  Marilyn doesn't get up. Now, it's a month later. 21 days
• 4:17
  later. I should say.
• 4:18
  We now have babies that are hatched and the other one that
• 4:22
  would not accept the help is still trying to convince Give me
• 4:27
  that she should sit in those eggs in the boxes.
• 4:29
  She's as I speak right now, she's back in there again.
• 4:32
  Now I tried to help her and she didn't accept help.
• 4:35
  Now, it's a silly story about a chicken but where does this show
• 4:39
  up in your own life? Where does this show up in your
• 4:42
  life? Were someone's trying to help
• 4:44
  you and you don't accept help whether it and you don't even
• 4:48
  see it. Now, I get it, the chicken
• 4:50
  didn't see that. I was trying to help her.
• 4:51
  I'm not insane. She was just focused.
• 4:54
  And that's what Ins. But it's a great example for you
• 4:58
  to pay attention to one chicken took the help ended up with her
• 5:02
  outcome. The other chicken took no help
• 5:05
  and didn't get her outcome, and she still looking for her
• 5:08
  outcome and I just find that utterly fascinating because you
• 5:13
  got to accept some help in life. We all have to accept some help
• 5:18
  whether we like it or not, we are just absolutely
• 5:23
  interdependent. We have to be Allowing ourselves
• 5:27
  to believe that we are not in a bubble by ourselves.
• 5:31
  We have to help each other, it's just part of what we do so
• 5:35
  whether you're used to it or not is irrelevant whether you're
• 5:38
  willing to accept? It is what's relevant.
• 5:41
  So you have to think about this allow people to help you allow
• 5:46
  people to put you in a position where you can say the words.
• 5:52
  Yes. And even though you might feel
• 5:55
  foreign to you, You accept it, get past yourself, allow
• 5:58
  yourself to see the greatness and letting you know that help
• 6:02
  come in to help you as well as them.
• 6:05
  Because let's forget part of the process of helping other people
• 6:09
  is to fill ourselves back up. That's why I volunteer work is
• 6:13
  often so great for people when you go and you volunteer, you
• 6:16
  feel good when you stop and do something good for other people,
• 6:20
  you feel good inside because you feel like you did something that
• 6:25
  matters. For once, instead of just
• 6:27
  constantly doing a to-do list, constantly doing chores, when we
• 6:31
  do that, it changes us. So your challenge is go except
• 6:36
  some help today or ask for help allow help to be present in your
• 6:42
  world and maybe you'll have some eggs.
• 6:44
  I hope you guys have a blessed day.
• 6:46
  I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
