  Good morning from the chicken coop so So, today, we're talking
• 0:33
  about the drive behind the purpose yesterday.
• 0:35
  We talked about the purpose and today, we're talking about
• 0:37
  drive. So, you know, oftentimes we'll
• 0:41
  think about the this, as the, why like, why do something like,
• 0:44
  why am I doing it? I need to know my big why.
• 0:46
  But, if you've listened to me for any of my time on the
• 0:49
  podcast, you know, I'm not a fan of using that word because I
• 0:51
  think it gives mixed connotations emotionally
• 0:55
  because, you know, when you're a little kid and you do something
• 0:56
  and your family will go, why'd you do it?
• 0:58
  And you go, I don't know. And Sometimes have a bad
• 1:02
  relationship with the word, why? And we sit there and we go.
• 1:04
  Why did this happen to me? And it's just feels yucky.
• 1:08
  So, rather than using that word, I like to use the word drive,
• 1:11
  like, what's, what's your big? What behind, what's forcing?
• 1:15
  You to go, forward and push you into that, doing it or really,
• 1:18
  what's going to drive you every day?
• 1:19
  What's going to make you get excited?
• 1:21
  So doing the podcast, one of the things for me that made me
• 1:25
  really excited about doing this because I could have started
• 1:28
  this at any point in time in my career, but I Didn't because I
• 1:31
  just didn't have a thing that compelled me, but the chickens.
• 1:35
  Because I was so excited about my chickens.
• 1:37
  We're really compelling for me, like, I really love my chickens.
• 1:41
  I love hanging out with my chickens.
• 1:43
  I love gardening and having my chickens around.
• 1:46
  I, I just think they're awesome little creatures and I like the
• 1:50
  process of caring for them. So when the thought of the
• 1:54
  podcast came up and I knew I could involve them in it
• 1:58
  somehow. Well, that changed everything
• 1:59
  because then I was like, All right.
• 2:01
  Well now I've got a real big. What, I've got my drive behind
• 2:04
  it, doing this. Getting them known getting them.
• 2:06
  Seen being able to share all the things I want to do for them and
• 2:10
  with them, this is fun. So it was a big part of my
• 2:14
  reason Plus getting able to being able to introduce all of
• 2:17
  you to them, as well, as introduce you to the concepts of
• 2:21
  core self development and happiness, that I've discovered
• 2:25
  and worked on with my clients over the years.
• 2:28
  So, it was a, it was a big Vater.
• 2:31
  The other piece of it. That's so important.
• 2:33
  When you start doing this, as we come to, the end of the year, is
• 2:36
  really being honest with yourself and not allowing
• 2:39
  yourself to say, you're going to do something.
• 2:41
  If, you know, you are not 100% in, I can't stress this fact
• 2:46
  enough. Having that little tiny bit of
• 2:50
  information. Am I 100% in?
• 2:52
  What's the percentage? I'm in on something, is the key
• 2:56
  to the drive. So are you when you get in your
• 2:59
  car and No. Your gas tank is like at 10%.
• 3:03
  Do you feel really good about going on a long trip?
• 3:05
  No, you stop. And you're like we gas and if
• 3:07
  you're like me, you don't even like to get below half because
• 3:10
  you do want to get stuck in a place where you can't find gas.
• 3:13
  So it's the same thing here. Don't start the journey without
• 3:18
  the gas in the vehicle, don't start the journey.
• 3:21
  If you're not 100% on board or at least get to Lake, you know,
• 3:26
  I'm 85 percent in. But then when you're starting
• 3:28
  your Lake, 80, 85 percent in them, something, guess what
• 3:31
  happens? You only give it an 80, 85
• 3:33
  percent effort, because you're not 100% in.
• 3:37
  So, I like to make sure with myself that I am 100% in,
• 3:40
  because if I then am 100% in, I know without question, I'm going
• 3:45
  to be able to make it long term. I can stick with it because I
• 3:49
  feel it in my bones, that it's something I'm excited about.
• 3:52
  So, doing all the gardens working on all the flowers,
• 3:56
  working with the chickens, all of this is part of my drive.
• 4:00
  Part of well-being, which is what I love to teach you guys.
• 4:04
  And I can tell you without question, I was 100% in.
• 4:08
  So I'm looking for you to find your hundred-percent, what are
• 4:11
  the things this year that you're like?
• 4:13
  Okay, I am 100% into this. So when you are in bed in the
• 4:16
  morning and you don't want to get up and you're tired and
• 4:19
  you're frustrated, you'll say to yourself.
• 4:22
  You know what I said? I was 100% in 100% in is getting
• 4:25
  up and doing it, it takes that kind of knowledge, that kind of
• 4:30
  awareness. - to move you through things.
• 4:33
  So I'm going to challenge you to ask those questions, push
• 4:36
  yourself, put yourself in that right, mindset with it and say,
• 4:40
  okay if I'm going to, I've got my purpose, what's going to
• 4:44
  drive me? And I am I going to drive with a
• 4:46
  full tank of gas or my going to drive with a 10% tank of gas.
• 4:50
  And if you're at a half a tank of gas, you better figure out
• 4:53
  what you need to do to keep on path with it so you can continue
• 4:58
  to do it. How do you get from that half?
• 5:00
  The gas up to that full tank of gas.
• 5:03
  So think of it this way. If the gas is half full, you're
• 5:06
  going to ask yourself what has to happen for this to be a full
• 5:09
  tank. What has to happen for me to be
• 5:11
  100% in with this? And then you'll get answers.
• 5:15
  And if you don't find those answers then maybe you're not as
• 5:17
  committed to the project or the outcome, as you thought you
• 5:20
  were. But at least you'll know at
• 5:22
  least you won't have mixed feelings about it.
• 5:24
  You won't have that feel of being pulled back and forth, so
• 5:29
  it will help you to increase the likelihood of getting to the
• 5:32
  outcome. I hope you guys have a very
• 5:35
  blessed day as you think about this and contemplate it and I
• 5:38
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
