• 0:29
  Good morning from the Chicken Coop.
• 0:31
  We're talking about the power of your ability to shift and focus
• 0:35
  on what you choose. Why is this so important?
• 0:38
  Well, it's really important everyday just in your very own
• 0:43
  mental well-being and health and then it becomes even more
• 0:46
  important when things don't work out the way you want them to or
• 0:50
  are not working out the way you want them to see.
• 0:53
  We all have visions of the future.
• 0:54
  We all have this vision of like what we want, how we want to put
• 0:58
  it together, how it's going to go.
• 1:00
  Everyone should focus on being attentive to that because that
• 1:03
  gives you strength. When you put your attention, you
• 1:06
  can attract you have Law of Attraction on your side and then
• 1:09
  every so often, you know, it seems like things are out of our
• 1:12
  control and things show up that we didn't plan on.
• 1:16
  We had no intention of certain things showing up in happening
• 1:19
  the way that they happen. But nonetheless, they happen
• 1:22
  that way and then we have to deal with the fact that
• 1:25
  something happened. We have to deal with the fact
• 1:27
  that there's something that, you know, we did.
• 1:30
  An income account on, we didn't want that.
• 1:33
  We didn't say we were going to encounter it that way when we
• 1:36
  put our intention out there and it just can be the smallest of
• 1:40
  small things or the biggest, a big thing.
• 1:43
  So it could be like, oh I didn't intend to hit traffic today, you
• 1:46
  know I said I was going to have a good morning or I didn't
• 1:49
  intend for something silly. Like, great example, I'm sitting
• 1:52
  here talk recording for you guys, and I had just the girls
• 1:57
  just let the girls all out, so I could record and I've got One
• 2:00
  brand new mom sitting on a nest and she seems very intent to do
• 2:05
  it. So I said, okay, well do one
• 2:07
  more for the season and that's it, and I was excited because
• 2:11
  it's Marilyn Monroe. She's one of my favorite Birds,
• 2:13
  I hatched her out, but she's the first time Mom and they're not
• 2:17
  always the best at doing it the first time.
• 2:20
  And when he had just finished with her baby, so I was like,
• 2:22
  all right, we can do this. Well, I came in this morning, I
• 2:26
  was excited. I gave her ten eggs to sit on
• 2:29
  and one of them was broken. Okin.
• 2:32
  And this is after a week and one of them was leaking and the
• 2:36
  other one was packed, a whole section of it, she had packed
• 2:41
  off of it. Now that could have been because
• 2:43
  something leaked on it and she was trying to hide it but
• 2:46
  there's something still in the egg.
• 2:47
  So I'm like okay this isn't like something I've ever had to do
• 2:51
  before. So I'm like okay we're going to
• 2:53
  give it a shot, we're going to see if we can make this work
• 2:55
  with this little bird that's in their developing because nature
• 2:59
  is amazing, not Then I counted on so it could be something as
• 3:03
  small as that or it could be something really big like having
• 3:09
  something changing your life. I think I'm in my, I was
• 3:13
  younger, my father died as I've talked about before and my
• 3:17
  mother who was 51. When he passed away was a widow
• 3:21
  at 51. She didn't plan that.
• 3:23
  She didn't intend that, that just happened.
• 3:26
  And the course of your life is set by the power of where you I
• 3:30
  choose to put your focus. So often she would talk about
• 3:34
  the things that they never got to do and she would ruminate on
• 3:39
  it and it's okay to talk about it.
• 3:41
  Let me be very clear, it's okay to talk about it but what's your
• 3:45
  up to you and solely? You is where you want to put
• 3:48
  your focus and where you want to stay directed.
• 3:52
  Do you want to stay directed on what didn't happen or do you
• 3:54
  want to start to move in a direction of what could happen
• 3:58
  or where you want to go? Or You want to make happen now?
• 4:01
  Because the past is done and there's nothing you can do about
• 4:04
  it. No matter how hard she tried,
• 4:06
  she wasn't going to be able to bring him back.
• 4:08
  So the power of being in the moment and making the choice to
• 4:12
  stay positive and to stay directed.
• 4:17
  When you do, go out into the future is incredibly important.
• 4:21
  What's even more important? In my opinion?
• 4:23
  Once you do that is to consistently stay in this moment
• 4:27
  because in this moment, once that problem was solved, And
• 4:30
  once I cleaned up the nest from the Broken Egg, once I moved
• 4:34
  back out of it, you know what, here we are.
• 4:37
  I'm just having a day and here's my girls, I'm getting ready to
• 4:41
  clean the coop out. I'm getting ready to do it and
• 4:43
  I'm going to stay in the moment. It's not raining.
• 4:46
  Thank God. And I'm positive about the day
• 4:50
  so I could keep ruminating and be in the in the anxiety of what
• 4:54
  will happen. But what's the point?
• 4:57
  And just like I would say to my mother, you know, you have to
• 5:00
  focus On now, you have to focus on this and I was not nearly as
• 5:03
  skilled at what I do now is what I did then and I would try to
• 5:08
  help her with it. But she was so focused on what
• 5:10
  had happened. She couldn't focus on being
• 5:14
  happy in the moment and that my friends is the key.
• 5:17
  If you can focus your attention on staying in the moment and
• 5:20
  being as happy as you can in the moment, everything else becomes
• 5:24
  easier, everything else becomes easier.
• 5:27
  And then the moment you do have with whatever you're doing the
• 5:29
  person, you're With the time you have whatever you're doing,
• 5:34
  becomes exponentially better because you're putting that
• 5:38
  energy of being present in the moment to it.
• 5:42
  And it's just turns a magical corner, but it takes a
• 5:46
  gargantuan effort to control our focus.
• 5:49
  And that's just the Human Condition.
• 5:51
  There is nothing we can do about that.
• 5:53
  That is just us being humans. And when I tell you, it takes a
• 5:57
  gargantuan effort, it really makes it takes a gargantuan.
• 6:00
  For you have to be committed to it.
• 6:02
  I am I as hard as I do the work for you guys.
• 6:06
  I do it harder for myself, and I'll tell you, it is a lot of
• 6:10
  work and the best of the best. That's why the clients that I
• 6:15
  coach. I tell them, I have a coach, and
• 6:18
  I do I have someone I work with, because I have to be on it, and
• 6:22
  it takes effort, it takes whatever, you can imagine, think
• 6:27
  about it. You how hard is it to focus on
• 6:29
  just one thing, you know, It's often been said that.
• 6:31
  If we could focus on winning the seeing ourselves having won the
• 6:35
  lottery. We would act for extended
• 6:37
  periods of time. We would actually win the
• 6:39
  lottery but we can't hold our attention that long.
• 6:42
  So we say, I want to win the lottery and I'm so grateful.
• 6:45
  I want, I'm so grateful, I won. And then, you know, 20 minutes
• 6:48
  later, we've already forgotten it.
• 6:49
  We're on to the next thing. Power of focus is incredibly
• 6:53
  important. So work on being in this moment
• 6:56
  work on being present, work on being happy and don't allow
• 6:59
  those other things. Things to wiggle their way in
• 7:02
  there and get in your head. All right, my friends.
• 7:05
  I hope you have a blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 7:07
  Bye. Things to wiggle their way in
• 7:02
  there and get in your head. All right, my friends.
• 7:05
  I hope you have a blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 7:07
  Bye.
