• 0:27
  Hey, good morning, my friends. I want to read something to you
• 0:32
  that actually has a huge impact for me every year, and I know
• 0:36
  it's the way that it comes across.
• 0:39
  It's Hugh Grant's voice. It's the beginning of the movie,
• 0:43
  Love, actually. Now, Full disclosure, I watch
• 0:48
  this movie throughout the year. It's just one of my favorite
• 0:50
  movies. But this is something that's
• 0:52
  really, I think, such an impactful beginning, and I
• 0:56
  actually sat and listened to it and I wrote it down so that we
• 1:00
  could all share it. So let me read this to you right
• 1:03
  at the very beginning of the movie, he says.
• 1:05
  Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think
• 1:08
  about the arrivals gate at Heathrow airport.
• 1:11
  General opinions started to make out that we live in a world of
• 1:15
  hatred and greed, but I don't see that.
• 1:17
  Seems to me that love is everywhere.
• 1:20
  Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but
• 1:23
  it's always there. Fathers and sons, mothers and
• 1:27
  daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, old
• 1:30
  friends. When the planes hit the Twin
• 1:33
  Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the
• 1:36
  people on board were messages of hate or revenge.
• 1:41
  They were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a
• 1:46
  sneaky feeling you'll find that Love Actually is all around now.
• 1:52
  I can't even read that without bringing tears to my eyes.
• 1:55
  Because it's true. When you start to really think
• 1:58
  about this, when you look for it, you find it.
• 2:02
  Now it was brilliant of them to use that for the beginning of
• 2:06
  the movie, because think about it, You go to the airport,
• 2:10
  you're dropping, you know someone off, You're so sad
• 2:14
  because you love them. You want them to stay.
• 2:17
  I mean, sometimes you're happy to see them go, but most of the
• 2:19
  time you're it's one of those things where you're sad to see
• 2:23
  them go, but the arrivals gate when they get there is such an
• 2:26
  amazing thing because you feel so good about them coming and
• 2:30
  you're hugging them and you can't believe that they're here
• 2:32
  for whether they live with you or they're just coming to visit.
• 2:36
  But there's always that feeling of just overwhelming love.
• 2:40
  And I I feel like we don't mean to make it just at the airport.
• 2:44
  Every time I see that scene, I can watch it over and over and
• 2:47
  over again and still have the same impact, same impact.
• 2:53
  And I think it's because we all want to feel that all the time.
• 2:57
  We all want to see, OK, at least once a day, can I have that
• 3:01
  impact? Can I feel something like that
• 3:03
  at least once a day? It's a challenge and you have to
• 3:07
  go out and seek it out. What can you do to help yourself
• 3:10
  find that this is the reason why I come to the chicken coop?
• 3:14
  Because I know that these chickens, as crazy as it sounds,
• 3:18
  I know these chickens are filled with like attention and and I
• 3:24
  just love them. They're just filled with
• 3:25
  attention for everything. Like they will pay attention is
• 3:28
  my point. They come to me.
• 3:31
  I can sit out here with them and is it me making it about me?
• 3:34
  Probably. But that's what humans do,
• 3:36
  right? We, we look for things, We find
• 3:38
  it. We make it about ourselves.
• 3:41
  And I can tell you right now that there are things all around
• 3:45
  in your world. You just have to look for them.
• 3:48
  You can find it in your plants. So when people say, well, I
• 3:51
  don't have anybody and I'm like, no, you can actually find it in
• 3:55
  other things. I find immense love in my
• 3:59
  plants, in my gardens. Things that cannot speak to me,
• 4:02
  cannot come. When I call them.
• 4:04
  I find it. I find it in words like I just
• 4:08
  read to you in books. There are tremendous ways to
• 4:11
  connect with this energy. You just have to make a choice
• 4:15
  to seek it out. Because it it doesn't just fall
• 4:17
  into your lap, it's something that you have to cultivate when
• 4:21
  you look for it. So right now this world is
• 4:25
  pretty torn up and people are feeling really bad and people
• 4:30
  are angry with each other and people are hateful with each
• 4:33
  other. But, you know, you can either
• 4:35
  participate in the problem or you can participate in the
• 4:38
  rescue. And for me, it's all about
• 4:40
  participating in the rescue. It's about sending out love.
• 4:43
  It's about doing those simple little things that make somebody
• 4:46
  smile, holding the door, you know, buying somebody a coffee,
• 4:51
  doing something nice for somebody.
• 4:53
  That's what matters. That's the stuff that makes the
• 4:56
  difference in this world. And then you, my friends, are
• 4:58
  not participating in the problem.
• 5:00
  You are participating in the solution because it's about
• 5:03
  waves of energy and it's which one are we going to participate
• 5:06
  in. So I refuse to participate in
• 5:08
  the problem. I refuse.
• 5:10
  I absolutely refuse it. I will only participate in the
• 5:13
  solution. I will only send love to people.
• 5:15
  I will only send the things that feel good and put it out there
• 5:19
  because that's what makes the massive difference.
• 5:22
  You know, I'm, I won't participate in the pain.
• 5:25
  And I suggest that you try the same thing because I promise
• 5:29
  you, you will feel unbelievably better when you do.
• 5:33
  It's it is the joy that you bring into the world that feels
• 5:38
  the joy in your heart. So work on that and see if you
• 5:41
  can make this season, this magical season of the holidays,
• 5:45
  something that can really light up the world.
• 5:49
  OK my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll see you
• 5:51
  tomorrow. Bye.
