  Good morning from the chicken coop so Today I want to talk to
• 0:31
  you about something that we all experience.
• 0:33
  And when I say all, I do mean all of us, Hard Day's Hard,
• 0:38
  Day's happen. And I think that you think that
• 0:42
  to Han Dottie. Yeah, Donnie says the same
• 0:44
  thing, Hard Day's happen and it doesn't matter who you are, what
• 0:47
  you do, where you go, if you're a human Hard Day's happen
• 0:53
  because that's our nature, right?
• 0:55
  Things are never going to be 100% perfect.
• 0:58
  And when we, Have these hard days.
• 1:02
  It's not about avoiding them. It's not about saying I never
• 1:07
  want to have a hard day because lots of times Hard Day's lead to
• 1:10
  great things. And in the aftermath of them, we
• 1:14
  just have to allow them to cultivate.
• 1:16
  And over time I have recognized that some of the hardest things
• 1:20
  that I have ever gone through in my life.
• 1:22
  Have really cultivated me to be a different person and to be a
• 1:27
  better person. And those hard days are Here for
• 1:31
  us to grow with where I think we get.
• 1:34
  So hung up in our humanness is that and especially now when
• 1:40
  everything on social media is supposed to look so perfect.
• 1:42
  And everyone's relationship is so perfect.
• 1:44
  And their hair is so perfect and everything.
• 1:46
  So perfect that we think we can't have hard days and we
• 1:51
  think we can't have hard moments or bad things happen to us and
• 1:55
  it really is part of Being Human.
• 1:59
  We have all All had them. The idea is not avoiding them
• 2:04
  because you can't avoid the bad stuff.
• 2:06
  You can do everything. You can in your your actions in
• 2:10
  your mind, and your Law of Attraction.
• 2:12
  Everything you can do absolutely everything and things are still
• 2:15
  going to happen and people will often say well it doesn't happen
• 2:18
  to us, it happens for us and sometimes that just irritates us
• 2:21
  when we hear that in the moment because that's not where we are
• 2:24
  to capture that. And I myself have had somebody
• 2:27
  say that to me when I was in a very bad place and they've said
• 2:30
  It's not happening to you, it's happening for you.
• 2:33
  And I just wanted to punch them in that moment because that's on
• 2:37
  them for not having the sensory acuity to not say something like
• 2:40
  that. In that moment.
• 2:42
  Did it make me angry? Yes, actually, pissed me off,
• 2:45
  but I obviously have the ability to come back from that.
• 2:50
  And, and later on, I was able to recognize that was probably a
• 2:54
  very true statement, but in the moment, I couldn't hear it
• 2:57
  because my emotion was high and we all know what happens when
• 3:00
  our Motion goes up. Our intelligence goes down.
• 3:03
  So this was, this is no different and when you recognize
• 3:07
  that sometimes these things show up to move us, like let's just
• 3:14
  say, you have a job that is just absolutely not what you like.
• 3:18
  It is not fulfilling for you. It doesn't give you what you
• 3:20
  want. It drags you down and you're
• 3:24
  working your ass off. You're doing a good job and they
• 3:27
  don't recognize your good job and they are just on you about.
• 3:30
  Things and, you know, you know, in your heart of hearts that you
• 3:35
  are struggling to make it work there, maybe just maybe all of
• 3:42
  the pain that you're experiencing is so that you will
• 3:44
  move and go to the next place, maybe in relationships.
• 3:48
  It's the same thing when they fall apart, it's so more things
• 3:52
  can fall together, you know. Sometimes it has to happen that
• 3:56
  way but you can't pick up on that when you're stuck in the
• 3:59
  moments. Of Despair and you're stuck in
• 4:02
  the moments of having to hear the painfulness of what they're
• 4:05
  telling you or what you're, you know, other people in your world
• 4:09
  or telling you. So what I want to convey to you
• 4:13
  all today is bad, things happen, crazy, things happen, Hard,
• 4:18
  Day's happen. It's not that they're not going
• 4:21
  to happen, and it's not that you should try to avoid them.
• 4:24
  Because if you're out trying to avoid them, that means your
• 4:26
  focus is on avoiding, which means you attract more things to
• 4:30
  avoid. Wait, you should just focus on
• 4:32
  that, you know, having that moment of being happy and living
• 4:35
  your life. And when the bad things show up,
• 4:38
  when the hard days happen, you pause and you say to yourself,
• 4:42
  okay, this is in this moment. This is not a forever moment.
• 4:46
  I think remembering this is not a forever moment, is so
• 4:51
  important, there are no forever moments like that, everything
• 4:55
  grows everything, moves, everything is in constant flux,
• 4:58
  that's just because that's the nature of the World and the
• 5:01
  universe, there is nothing permanent.
• 5:03
  So recognizing that you can tell yourself, this is just in this
• 5:08
  moment. So I'm going to go to sleep.
• 5:10
  I am going to put myself in a state of awareness that
• 5:15
  tomorrow, things will look different.
• 5:17
  You don't have to go to the place where things will look
• 5:19
  better but they will look different.
• 5:21
  You will have a different perspective, go for a walk, get
• 5:25
  some water, hydrate yourself, and allow yourself to have that
• 5:28
  moment to pause collect yourself.
• 5:30
  And regroup and ask the very important question that you hear
• 5:33
  me, say so much on this podcast. What else could this mean?
• 5:37
  Because if you recognize that, you're asking things like, what
• 5:40
  else, could it mean, then you can figure out what else it
• 5:43
  could mean and maybe there's a sign in it.
• 5:46
  Look for the signs, look, for the things that are driving, you
• 5:48
  to go to a different place. What else could this tell me?
• 5:52
  What else could this tell me, where else can?
• 5:55
  This is pushing me. Where else is this?
• 5:56
  Moving me, ask the right questions.
• 6:00
  Break pause and collect yourself and put yourself back, but keep
• 6:04
  knowing it is just this moment it is just right now this is not
• 6:09
  forever and I promise you it will brighten back up because it
• 6:14
  always does. And you know that old saying
• 6:17
  it's always the darkest before the dawn is not is not wrong and
• 6:21
  sometimes you just need to know that, you know, people out there
• 6:26
  are also having bad days and that they all change.
• 6:29
  So I just want you all to know. Happens to all of us, myself
• 6:32
  included. So, I am sending you all a huge
• 6:35
  hug today and I hope that you are having great days today.
• 6:38
  And I hope you're not having a rough day, but if you are just
• 6:41
  know that tomorrow, it will be much better and things will
• 6:45
  change and look for the good stuff.
• 6:47
  All right, my friends, I will talk to you soon.
• 6:50
  Bye.
