• 0:29
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So I want to ask you a question, would you rather be hunter or
• 0:35
  prey? You know, it's funny sometimes
• 0:38
  how things show up and I am absolutely in love with my
• 0:42
  chickens, as you know, but it's right on cue as always they are
• 0:48
  prey animals, right? They that's what they are.
• 0:51
  I mean, let's face it chickens are not Hunters except to the
• 0:54
  bugs of the world. The chicken is the Hunter and
• 0:57
  the other day, I was sitting with them when I was making my
• 1:00
  list of like, As I going to talk to you about over the next
• 1:03
  couple days and I watched how a hawk flew over and instantly
• 1:10
  every well everyone except the rooster because the rooster is
• 1:13
  the protector, everyone else was running, everyone else he made a
• 1:17
  signal and everyone else ran and took off.
• 1:20
  And it was quite interesting to watch how quickly they all, you
• 1:24
  know, if lead the situation went for their cover, went for where
• 1:27
  they had to go. To be safe and made me think,
• 1:31
  huh? To have to be the, you know, the
• 1:36
  constant situation of the prey and then a little while later,
• 1:39
  I'm cleaning up out there and all of a sudden I move up pale
• 1:44
  that had I was storing some snacks and for them and I move
• 1:48
  it. And underneath it, there were a
• 1:49
  bunch of bugs and all of a sudden these little
• 1:53
  Velociraptors that I love so much come running in and wiped
• 1:56
  them out in a matter of two seconds.
• 1:59
  And you know, I started thinking wow there are moments It's in
• 2:02
  their lives when they are not the prey, they are the Hunter
• 2:05
  and there are moments when they are clearly the pray because
• 2:10
  I've lost some today situations where the hawk has you know
• 2:14
  snagged. I think I've actually lost for
• 2:17
  two different situations where two two or three.
• 2:21
  We knew were a hawk one was a raccoon that was brutal and
• 2:24
  awful and then you know you sit there and think to yourself wow
• 2:30
  this is really a fascinating Situation.
• 2:33
  He was as human beings. Most of the time we consider
• 2:36
  ourselves what would be the hunter?
• 2:39
  We don't consider ourselves the prey, but right now, out in the
• 2:43
  world, this is really interesting time and a lot of us
• 2:46
  have to shift our mentality to become more aware.
• 2:51
  We have to completely shift to become more aware, because if
• 2:55
  you are sitting in a position thinking, you're a hunter right
• 2:58
  now, for whatever it is for, what you look for you.
• 3:02
  You, you not necessarily the only, let's use it.
• 3:06
  Obviously, we're talking metaphorically here for those of
• 3:08
  you who are offended by hunters but you know you think about
• 3:13
  this and you say, well my being a hunter right now, my going out
• 3:16
  to get what I want in the world. Or am I sitting and waiting for
• 3:20
  it to come to me and that puts you in a prey situation that
• 3:24
  just sits there and puts you in a praise situation.
• 3:26
  So even if you believe in law of attraction, manifesting all that
• 3:31
  good stuff, And I heavily believe in that just to be very
• 3:36
  clear about it. You still have to be in the role
• 3:39
  of being a hunter. Because if you're not in the
• 3:42
  role of being a hunter, you will just sit and wait right now
• 3:47
  because all right, anytime not just right now.
• 3:50
  But now it's really an interesting time because there's
• 3:53
  so many shifts in energy going on so many shifts back and
• 3:57
  forth, not that there is ever isn't out there.
• 3:59
  But right now, we're at the end of the year where Into an
• 4:03
  election time. There's lots of that going on
• 4:06
  especially with the markets back and forth.
• 4:08
  So if you have become complacent in the last couple of years
• 4:12
  about building out yourself, your mindset, your business,
• 4:17
  you're just the way you, you know, generally carry yourself.
• 4:22
  Now is definitely a time to consider what it means to have
• 4:26
  to shift gears like this. So when I started breaking this
• 4:30
  metaphor down for you is like, okay, well, if I'm the prey
• 4:33
  obviously, I'm waiting. I'm unaware, which is one of the
• 4:37
  biggest things because I can tell you from watching my
• 4:39
  chickens, most of the time, they're in ignorant, Bliss,
• 4:43
  they're just like, you know, doing what they do and their
• 4:46
  they rely on the goodness of others, to let them know.
• 4:50
  Meaning that they are constantly having signals from others.
• 4:55
  I'm to them. So if you hear off in the
• 4:56
  background right now, there are crows and the crows here.
• 4:59
  I have a lot of crows that live here while some people will
• 5:02
  tell, you crows, can be dangerous to baby chicks and
• 5:05
  very small chickens. For the most part.
• 5:07
  Mine live in absolute synchronicity and don't have an
• 5:12
  issue, and I've never had a hot go after.
• 5:15
  I mean, Crow, go after anything to do with my chickens, but that
• 5:20
  what they have done is they've done an excellent job.
• 5:22
  Alerting my chickens constantly Threats in the area.
• 5:26
  So my chickens have gotten used to just being very if the crows
• 5:31
  are not upset then they don't be upset, they're just like chilled
• 5:35
  out. If the rooster see something and
• 5:38
  he's always on duty, he lets them know.
• 5:40
  But for the most part, the hens are in ignorant Bliss.
• 5:44
  You know, doing what they're doing all around and digging
• 5:48
  killing bugs, looking for little things, little tiny bugs that,
• 5:52
  you know, may or may not be good to eat.
• 5:56
  So, if we are being that and we're just sitting there and
• 6:00
  ignorant Bliss, waiting for others to tell us things that
• 6:04
  that affects how we perceive the world because we're waiting for
• 6:09
  others to tell us we're not, we're not collecting the
• 6:12
  information ourselves. We're just sitting there waiting
• 6:15
  and we don't want to do that. We want to be able to decide who
• 6:18
  we want to be, we don't have to take in - information, but we
• 6:22
  certainly can do is take in the information.
• 6:25
  We want to about how we want to shape our world and move forward
• 6:30
  with that and not sit in ignorant.
• 6:34
  Bliss. Not not work on what we need to
• 6:37
  work on. What's so fascinating?
• 6:40
  To me, is how we need to, right now, be the hunter.
• 6:44
  We need to go out and decide how we want to show up.
• 6:47
  We need to do the work, we need to put ourselves in a very,
• 6:53
  very, very solid mindset. Set of getting our asses moving
• 6:58
  and saying it doesn't matter what's going on out there, who
• 7:00
  do I need to be to create the life I want to have?
• 7:03
  Who do? I, how do I need to show up?
• 7:06
  Who do, who do I need to know in order to create the life that I
• 7:10
  want to have? What kind of work do?
• 7:11
  I need to put in my realm right now so that I can move forward
• 7:16
  and screw what everybody else is saying.
• 7:19
  I'm going to focus on creating the best life that I can
• 7:22
  possibly create, but I've got to do it the way I've got to do it.
• 7:26
  so, I want you to think about this, because there is a big
• 7:29
  difference when you are in the role of the hunter, or when you
• 7:33
  won the role of the prey, and fortunately, for my chickens, it
• 7:37
  really was a great metaphor for me to sit there and say, well,
• 7:39
  listen, they get to play the role of both and I think that it
• 7:45
  was a, it was a very telling moment for me because I think we
• 7:48
  all have moments where we are, we are both and You know, I
• 7:56
  don't know about you but I prefer to be the Hunter and I
• 7:59
  see how, you know, their world is way better when they're in
• 8:03
  that role of their being the Hunter, and they're out getting
• 8:05
  their bugs and they're doing their things and that ignorant
• 8:07
  Bliss, they're just living their life.
• 8:09
  And it is much more directed much more focused than their
• 8:13
  outcome is definitely met. So hopefully this was helpful.
• 8:17
  Go be hunters and enjoy your day.
• 8:20
  I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
