  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Upon this very first day of the new year, happy New Year.
• 0:34
  Hope you guys have an unbelievably wonderful night and
• 0:38
  this morning obviously today's the day we talked about setting
• 0:43
  up stuff for the new year and so many times people get so wrapped
• 0:49
  up in this process, they take the joy out of it.
• 0:51
  This is supposed to be fun so it should not be work.
• 0:55
  Let me just start off by saying that.
• 0:56
  And if you are just putting all these musts on yourself, I must
• 1:00
  This, I must do this. I must do this and you are doing
• 1:03
  it from an energy of panic. We already know that that is not
• 1:06
  the right place to go. So I'm going to throw the
• 1:10
  gauntlet down and say, stop it right away.
• 1:13
  Don't make it like that. Make it about the excitement.
• 1:17
  Make it about Joy. Make it about being intentional
• 1:22
  in the way of saying. No, I this is a this is supposed
• 1:26
  to be about being happy and joyful.
• 1:28
  The Dalai Lama says the purpose of Life is to be happy and we
• 1:33
  choose happiness in the moments. Every moment we have an
• 1:36
  opportunity to be happy, you know, this is what the whole
• 1:39
  idea of the chicken coop was about for me is I had so much
• 1:42
  joy in them when they were little and when I was little and
• 1:45
  they were little and I had them until that we had the incident
• 1:48
  at my house and my mother said, no more chickens, so recreating
• 1:54
  that in a different Bigger Better Way was always very
• 1:58
  intentional for me and being out.
• 2:00
  You're with them. Brings me so much, joy watching
• 2:03
  them Thrive watching them, have a good time.
• 2:06
  Being able to care. For them is all about the joy.
• 2:09
  It's not about taking a box and saying, oh, I have to go back
• 2:13
  and redo something because it wasn't done right in my
• 2:15
  childhood. No, that's not what it's about.
• 2:18
  It's about looking at what makes you happy in your life and
• 2:22
  growing things and caring for things makes me happy.
• 2:26
  It's why I coach, it's why I do what I do because it's you're
• 2:28
  helping cultivate your typing put things out there.
• 2:31
  So when I sit down to do goals or intentions for me, the most
• 2:37
  important thing is what's the emotion I'm in doing it.
• 2:39
  Am I being in a joyful? Stay am I excited?
• 2:42
  Am I looking at this stuff? And going, oh my God, this is
• 2:46
  way too much. I'm never going to accomplish
• 2:48
  this no, because if I do that, I'm in the wrong state of mind.
• 2:52
  So as you sit down, if you're doing your goal setting today,
• 2:55
  if you're doing vision boards today, if you're doing all of
• 2:59
  this, which is One of the things that I am doing over the next
• 3:03
  two days, you've got to make sure you're in the right frame
• 3:06
  of mind. You've got to be excited, you've
• 3:08
  got to be purposeful, I love to use the word intentional.
• 3:12
  People will often theme there year out and they say well
• 3:15
  what's your you know what your word for the year?
• 3:17
  And you know, you can do that, you can absolutely do that.
• 3:20
  But I find for me, I'll start off with one word and then I'll
• 3:23
  start to navigate to another sometimes and it's okay, there
• 3:27
  aren't any rules around it. Remember you write the Rules if
• 3:31
  you're thriving, that's the success.
• 3:34
  So, think about it that way. And I will say that the word
• 3:39
  intentional is very, it's very purposeful to me in the sense
• 3:45
  that I'm constantly trying to be more intentional with my
• 3:50
  thoughts, with my feelings, with my relationships, being more
• 3:54
  intentional, helps you grow, and awareness in that really Expands
• 4:01
  your mind. So if you do like those two
• 4:03
  words by all means adapt them, take them on say, how does this
• 4:07
  relate to me? What do I want to put this?
• 4:09
  You know, how do I want to put this into my world into my
• 4:12
  words? So think about it that way, go
• 4:15
  off and figure out, you know, what are those things that are
• 4:19
  going to make me light up? Now, of course you're going to
• 4:22
  have to have your personal goals and your professional goals and
• 4:26
  you can and you can have your health goals, you know, some
• 4:29
  people like to just categorize down To do personal and
• 4:31
  professional. Some people like to break it all
• 4:33
  down. I'm one of the people that likes
• 4:34
  to break it all down so I want to have ones that are for
• 4:38
  creativity. I want to have ones that are for
• 4:41
  my personal growth as far as my mindset and my spirituality, I
• 4:49
  want to have some for my business.
• 4:51
  I want to have some for the farm.
• 4:53
  I want to have some for the gardens the chickens, all of
• 4:57
  that becomes being very broken down.
• 5:00
  I like it that way, but you don't have to do it that way.
• 5:03
  The whole thing with this is just remembering that if you're
• 5:06
  setting them and you're doing, you're doing them for the wrong
• 5:09
  reasons. Don't do them.
• 5:11
  Because if you're trying to compete with people, if you're
• 5:13
  putting down like, oh, you know, I compete against this other
• 5:16
  team and I want to crush this other team.
• 5:19
  Well, right away, that might be a starting point to say, okay?
• 5:23
  But you can't use that as your motivation, you have to find it
• 5:27
  within yourself to really want to have that happen.
• 5:30
  No, because that's what the stick-to-itiveness is of long
• 5:33
  term. If you want to make something
• 5:35
  happen, long term, and really have to work at it that way.
• 5:39
  So I'm going to leave you guys with this.
• 5:41
  I hope that you figure out what your intention is, what your
• 5:46
  purpose is for this. You feel good, you're really
• 5:49
  aware, you're excited. You go into this very thoughtful
• 5:53
  and remember, get rid of the smart goals, get rid of the
• 5:58
  smart goals, get rid of the smart goals.
• 6:00
  They have screwed up more people than they are worth.
• 6:03
  Because here's the thing right away, you're taking in judgment,
• 6:07
  you're taking in things and most of the time, the things that
• 6:11
  people use smart goals. For I just damn to-do list.
• 6:13
  In my opinion, put them on a to-do list and do them.
• 6:16
  You know, sometimes your goals feel like you don't even want to
• 6:21
  do them because they're just that a to-do list and they're
• 6:24
  not exciting and they don't light you up.
• 6:27
  And the thing that I find when people come to me and we started
• 6:30
  To really dig into it. Is that often times they have
• 6:33
  goals and they'll say, well, I didn't know how I was going to
• 6:36
  achieve it. Therefore I let it go because I
• 6:40
  heard you know, I spoke to someone about it and they gave
• 6:42
  me an opinion on it, it just drives me insane.
• 6:46
  At no point in time. Did anybody believe that Edison
• 6:50
  could do what he did or Einstein or any of the other great, you
• 6:55
  know, industrialist that came out at that time where it was
• 6:57
  just invention after invention? After invention, they believe
• 7:02
  things were possible, they believe things were achievable,
• 7:05
  but everybody else thought they were insane.
• 7:08
  And that's what's so important. Let go of that part of it, just
• 7:12
  put things on there, that light you up.
• 7:15
  Who cares? What anybody else?
• 7:16
  Thanks about it. If you love it and it's
• 7:19
  purposeful for you and you want to pour into it and you want to
• 7:22
  make it happen, do it because you will make it happen and you
• 7:26
  will find the house. Put aside all of that stuff that
• 7:31
  stops you from putting it on the paper and say, no, this is
• 7:35
  what's knocking on my head. This is what's telling me do
• 7:37
  this, do this, do this. So work in that framework, and
• 7:41
  get out there and put down your dreams, your hopes.
• 7:45
  Put down the things that light. You up and let them flow out of
• 7:50
  the pen onto the paper. You'll be surprised at how great
• 7:53
  it feels just to know you're doing it and we will talk more
• 7:57
  about the house and all the other things later.
• 7:59
  But today is all about the capture.
• 8:02
  All right, my friends. I hope you have a blessed fun
• 8:04
  day and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
