- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30So do you feel as though your fate and your fortune begin and
- 0:35end with you. So this is a personal thing and
- 0:38I know some people do not believe this, so if you are one
- 0:41of those people, I'm sure I'm going to rub it the wrong way
- 0:45and if you are one of the people that believe like I do, this is
- 0:47just going to give you a good random kick in the ass about it,
- 0:51our fate and our Fortune begins and ends with us.
- 0:56Hands down. It is an inside job.
- 1:00It is a commitment. It is consistency.
- 1:03It is the idea that you actually have to get off your ass and do
- 1:07the work. You have to do the mental work,
- 1:09you have to do the physical work and can other people help you?
- 1:14Yes, of course, we are always always able to take on people
- 1:19that can help us ask for it, but it's our job to coordinate it.
- 1:24It's a no, we're not doing it by.
- 1:25I love so to speak, but we are doing the intention work.
- 1:29We are doing the planning work, we are doing all the things that
- 1:32need to happen in a sense of saying, I have to be the captain
- 1:38of the ship. I have to be the one that says,
- 1:40this is what's happening. I have to hire out.
- 1:43I have to do the work, that's behind the scenes, I have to
- 1:45plot the course. I have to do all of that.
- 1:48I have to make sure everything is in place and there's no
- 1:52shortcuts with it. Your fate and Your fortune fall
- 1:58on you and if you don't want to accept that that's fine.
- 2:02It's totally fine. But you get the results that you
- 2:05expect. You know, if you say oh well, I
- 2:07expect other people are going to help me.
- 2:09I sit there and I wait, it's going to be a long way and
- 2:13you're going to get the interesting part of this, as you
- 2:16will get exactly what you expect, you will get the
- 2:18disappointment because you'll say, well, nobody ever helps me,
- 2:22you know? I just sit, I wait but nobody
- 2:24ever helps me. Well, nobody helped.
- 2:25You because you're not initiating it.
- 2:28So it's like, you know, that hope that old adage of you know
- 2:33when you hear someone say things about the fact that you know oh
- 2:37he's just lucky, is he lucky? Or is he just putting himself in
- 2:42positions where things show up all the time because he's
- 2:45working his ass off for she's working her ass off to get
- 2:48there. I think it's imperative to pay
- 2:51attention to this in your own behavior and be honest with
- 2:54yourself, you know, I I have repeatedly, I want to be very
- 2:57clear about this. I have repeatedly in my life
- 3:00heard from people about the fact that I should still about the
- 3:05fact that I should take a break about the fact that I am always
- 3:10in motion and that that's not healthy and blah blah blah.
- 3:16I can't begin to tell you how many times I've heard this, put
- 3:19the books down, you don't need to be reading that much
- 3:22lalalalala. And I hear like, the Peanuts
- 3:27character voice in my head. When people say that to me want
- 3:29want want, want want, want want? Because I know my soul is on a
- 3:34mission, and my soul does not tell me to sit still.
- 3:38It is not because other people are doing this.
- 3:41It's because I realize my fate and my fortune lie within my
- 3:48hands. So if I want to create and make
- 3:50something I have to be the one that Captain's it, do I Have
- 3:55people help me? Yes, I have a whole little
- 3:58project going here on the farm. I don't know how to build stuff
- 4:00this way. I had to hire people to do that,
- 4:03but guess what, I hired I was able to hire them because I work
- 4:07really hard and I was able to afford to have that happen.
- 4:11This isn't like, it's some random thing that I'm giving I'm
- 4:14given. It's because I work my heinie
- 4:16off, and I'm happy to do it because it's part of my mission.
- 4:21It's part of the thing that I'm putting forward and I And I
- 4:24think what's imperative to remember in this is that, if you
- 4:29are not happy where you are, you hold the key and sometimes
- 4:33people think they need a big giant thing to happen, but you
- 4:36don't it's small things. Start with one thing, you know,
- 4:40it's if it's losing weight, just don't eat the cookie.
- 4:43Don't eat one cookie. You know, if you're, if you're
- 4:46deciding, hey I'm going to go, I want a burger and instead of
- 4:49getting two Patties on it, get one, it seems like it's a silly
- 4:52thing but one He gives you less calories and a beginning, and
- 4:58each of those little steps makes a massive difference.
- 5:02So I want you to remember, you are the captain you get to
- 5:06decide, do you bring other people into help you?
- 5:09Yes, but it begins and ends with you and your decision to say I'm
- 5:13willing to do this and I'm willing to listen to other
- 5:16people tell me, you know, I'm crazy.
- 5:18Okay, maybe I'm crazy to you. Our souls aren't aligned on the
- 5:21same path and the same Mission and that's okay.
- 5:24That's why there is a very, very big gap between where people are
- 5:29and where they see people that are really like out, amazing,
- 5:32like, whatever you think about certain people, and whatever you
- 5:34think about movie stars, are people that are out there
- 5:37people, you might not like, and that are famous.
- 5:40Whatever you think like about Elon Musk, like let's use him as
- 5:43an example. Granted people is there.
- 5:46A lot of people that don't like him but you can't take away the
- 5:49fact that the guy is on a mission and he's willing to pour
- 5:53in and Work. Does he sacrifice other things?
- 5:57Yeah. Are there trade-offs with
- 5:58things? Yeah.
- 5:59But you have to ask yourself the question.
- 6:01What do you want? So I hope this has helpful.
- 6:05I hope it's a good. Royal kick in the pants to get
- 6:07you moving. And remember you have choices.
- 6:11All right, my friends. I will see you tomorrow.
- 6:13Bye.
