- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30Ooh today we are talking about giving up on yourself before you
- 0:34even start this time of year is very tricky because everybody's
- 0:38thinking about goal setting and what they want to do next and
- 0:42trying to Envision better things for themselves and which is
- 0:47awesome, which is awesome. I do it, everybody does it.
- 0:50It's I would say, most people do it, not everybody.
- 0:53But most people do this and what's so cool about this is
- 0:57It's a time of opportunity. You can think Think of anything
- 1:01you want. And potentially say I'm putting
- 1:04this on my list of things that I want to accomplish.
- 1:07Do go be whatever it might be. Here's the trick, not taking
- 1:13yourself out before you even start.
- 1:15And what's so crazy about that is that there are so many people
- 1:21out there in the world who are Hell bent on the fact that
- 1:27they're going to go through this process in their head, and
- 1:30they're using logic to say, hey, you know what?
- 1:33I am. It's logic II want to do this,
- 1:37but logically, I know, I can't logically.
- 1:40I know there's a problem with it, logically, I see that, I
- 1:43don't have what it takes right now to get what I want.
- 1:46So what does that end up doing well?
- 1:48That ends up taking you out before you even start before you
- 1:51even start the whole thing, you're telling yourself all.
- 1:54Already like, oh no, I can't do this.
- 1:56I'm going to be, you know, I'm going to have to put this aside.
- 1:59I have to wait. I have to wait until this is a
- 2:02better time. There's never a better time,
- 2:05honestly. I know people ask that question.
- 2:07Well, is it the right time to dive into doing my own business
- 2:10as at the right time to get a dog?
- 2:12Is it the right time to have a kid is at the right time to get
- 2:14married? Let me be the first one to tell
- 2:16you. There may be times that are
- 2:18slightly better but there's never an exact right time
- 2:21because everything And in life and you have to just take it as
- 2:26it comes. So when you are thinking about
- 2:29what you want coming up, when you're actually sitting there
- 2:33and trying to figure out your wants and really excited about
- 2:38it and sitting down, the first thought that comes into your
- 2:40head as well. Why won't this work again?
- 2:44It's absolutely normal to have that but it is not okay to stay
- 2:49stuck in that place. Because if you are stuck in that
- 2:52place, that means you are not. Thinking from a place of a
- 2:56possibility, you're thinking of a place from limitation soon.
- 2:59As you start thinking from limitation, you start to put
- 3:02yourself in a different position.
- 3:04And as soon as you put yourself in that position, well, you take
- 3:06away all your momentum, your excitement, you're planning.
- 3:09And right now, when you're doing this process, you got to get out
- 3:12of that. How head, you know, how head is
- 3:14a killer of Dreams? How when you start thinking
- 3:17about how you're going to do something, before you even
- 3:20gotten clear on what you want, it wipes, you out, it takes Way
- 3:24all the momentum of the excitement and you're not
- 3:27supposed to know absolutely everything right away.
- 3:30Especially when your goal setting, you're supposed to be
- 3:31sitting there and saying, you know, what do I want to make
- 3:34happen? Free free range.
- 3:36Let's just use a chicken term today free-range.
- 3:39Just getting it out. Like, saying if I was just wild,
- 3:42if I could have anything I wanted and there was no
- 3:44restrictions at all. What would it look like?
- 3:46What would it sound like? What would it be?
- 3:47Like, that's the mode you're supposed to be in.
- 3:50So your challenge for yourself coming.
- 3:54Up over the next couple of days, couple weeks, whenever it is
- 3:58that you decide to do this process.
- 4:00Please think about the fact that you have to do this uninhibited
- 4:04by your own rules of logic that show up for you and damage your
- 4:09possibility thinking. Because right now, it's all
- 4:12about being filled with possibilities filled with
- 4:15creativity and just pouring into it a different way.
- 4:18If you can't let go of it, you're not going to be able to
- 4:21get where you want to go. So I Strongly encourage you
- 4:25strongly. Encourage you to think about
- 4:28this and pull yourself in a different direction.
- 4:31Say when I sit down and I do this, I'm not going to take
- 4:35myself out before I go. I'm going to allow myself to
- 4:37have every possible way to see it as everything that I want as
- 4:45opposed to what I don't want. So take an example, let's say
- 4:49you wanted to start your own YouTube channel, let's say you
- 4:51just been thinking about, hey, I have this.
- 4:54And I love to bake and I want to start my own YouTube channel and
- 4:57then you get excited about all the recipes that you could share
- 5:00and everything else and then all of a sudden, your brain goes.
- 5:02Yeah. But you know how many YouTube
- 5:04channels are on there. You know how many people are out
- 5:05there begging? You know, how many people do
- 5:07this? And all of a sudden you're like
- 5:10the PIN to your own balloon and you can hear the air being
- 5:14sucked out of it? When you go.
- 5:18Yeah, I guess you're right. I probably shouldn't even do
- 5:20that and you move on. So before you even started to
- 5:23even try to figure it out, you might not know the first thing
- 5:26about starting a YouTube channel or what to do.
- 5:29But you don't even let yourself get to that point because you
- 5:31take it out first. So your challenge is to sit down
- 5:34and think about the things that you want to make happen without
- 5:38that process kicking in So hopefully this is helpful.
- 5:43Hopefully you listen to it and hopefully you get it down on
- 5:45paper and just start remember it's the small steps that add
- 5:49up, small tiny things. So start with this one because
- 5:53this is a foundational piece, all right?
- 5:57My friends. I hope you have a blessed day
- 5:59and we will see you tomorrow. Bye.
