• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So let's talk about doubt today. Why are we talking about doubt?
• 0:35
  Well, because I've, I'm experiencing this myself and I
• 0:39
  thought, you know, this is always awesome when you know
• 0:42
  that the person that you're dealing with and you're
• 0:46
  listening to, and you're learning from has the same
• 0:49
  challenges and how they work through them, and I think it's
• 0:51
  really important, so I'm applying to do something that
• 0:55
  I've never done before. And I'm not going to say what it
• 0:59
  is. Because I I have this
• 1:01
  Superstition and yes it's a Superstition that I don't like
• 1:04
  to talk about anything until it's done.
• 1:08
  I may mention it here and there to client in a session.
• 1:11
  If it's something that is pertinent to what they're doing,
• 1:14
  and I will tell them what it is. Just so they understand the
• 1:17
  heavy miss the, the like the coolness of the situation.
• 1:20
  However, I'm not gonna mention it here, but I'm applying to do
• 1:26
  something, and it is not something that you readily.
• 1:30
  Get chosen for right away and lots of times.
• 1:34
  You have to I've Been Told right?
• 1:36
  So this is another one of those I've been told I'm are quoting
• 1:39
  this that you have to sometimes apply multiple times before you
• 1:44
  get chosen and they've made it very clear how hard it is.
• 1:48
  They've said this is not something that is easy.
• 1:53
  It's a big dedication, all kinds of things.
• 1:56
  So Here I am thinking about it getting my application and
• 2:01
  putting it together and I realize as I'm doing this last
• 2:05
  night that there's an excessive amount of questions firing off
• 2:10
  in my head and the questions are geared more towards the doubt
• 2:15
  side than they are towards the positive side and I didn't
• 2:20
  really address it too much. Okay.
• 2:22
  I just kind of like, observed it.
• 2:25
  Let it go and then I realized they were still Meeting with me
• 2:28
  and I'm like, good, you know, this is one of those things
• 2:30
  where it would be so great to talk to you guys about it.
• 2:33
  So you understand, it's not just you that this happens to this
• 2:37
  is, this is a human thing. This is a human thing.
• 2:40
  This is not a just hey, it's a you thing.
• 2:44
  It's a human thing. We all do it, no matter how much
• 2:46
  skill we have, no matter how much training we have, no matter
• 2:50
  how much professionalism we have.
• 2:52
  There are moments where we will have doubt and we will have to
• 2:55
  deal with said doubt and we will Have to figure out how to deal
• 2:59
  with the doubt and and I will tell you from my experience
• 3:02
  especially in the last 48 hours with this whole thing that
• 3:08
  ignoring it is definitely not the ideal thing to do and
• 3:13
  pretending that it's not there is not the ideal thing to do and
• 3:18
  sitting there and saying, well maybe I should just wait is not
• 3:22
  the ideal thing to do. You don't want to put your
• 3:24
  desires, your hopes and your dreams on hold because doubt So,
• 3:28
  so again, we're going to come back to that big lesson about
• 3:30
  Emotions Don't shows up because it's trying to protect you, it's
• 3:36
  actually very helpful sometimes when it says, Hey listen, if
• 3:39
  you're standing there and you're about to jump off a bridge,
• 3:41
  right? Doubt will say to you, I don't
• 3:43
  know if this is a good idea and doubt should say it in that
• 3:46
  moment because it's pushing you to think differently.
• 3:48
  It's pushing you to say, hey, maybe this isn't a good idea.
• 3:51
  Maybe this is not a good idea in this moment.
• 3:54
  I should try something different.
• 3:56
  So again, Our emotions are here to help us and guide us.
• 4:00
  They're just not good to stay stuck long.
• 4:03
  So this morning when I got up really early to work on this
• 4:06
  application again and I started, you know, trying to work through
• 4:11
  it. I was very, very, very focused
• 4:14
  on noticing where my emotions were going and they went right
• 4:18
  back to that same place. And I said, okay, now that I
• 4:21
  know they need to be addressed. Now, I know this is not just a
• 4:23
  little thing. This is, you know, something
• 4:26
  that I need to put my foot on. Italy.
• 4:28
  So, I stopped and I paused, and I said, okay, what are the
• 4:30
  questions that are really showing up?
• 4:33
  And I wrote them all down, sit there and write them all down.
• 4:36
  Get them out of your head and then each one of them, I'm able
• 4:39
  to address. Now there's there's a science
• 4:41
  behind putting things on paper for human beings.
• 4:44
  It's really important when we read things, we believe them.
• 4:48
  So which is dangerous and Brilliant.
• 4:51
  At the same time again, everything is a double edged
• 4:53
  sword so you can influence yourself by putting it on paper.
• 4:57
  A reading, what your questions are and then write your answers
• 5:01
  down and because some of them are ridiculous.
• 5:03
  And I realized when I was sitting there most of these
• 5:06
  questions while they were trying to be very protective of me
• 5:10
  having doubt driving my bus, what they were really doing was
• 5:13
  holding me back from something that my gut my soul was telling
• 5:18
  me was the right thing to do and I knew it I just had that
• 5:22
  experience of anxiety and frustration and and Doubt
• 5:28
  driving because that's a pattern from my childhood that shows up
• 5:32
  and I will always have it. I just have to make sure I don't
• 5:35
  let it take over. So, in the moment when it
• 5:37
  started to show up, I was capable.
• 5:40
  And that moment of figuring it out and I said, okay great, I'm
• 5:43
  going to change this driver. I'm going to put something else
• 5:45
  in it, and I'm going to make these choices from a different
• 5:48
  position as opposed to trying to make them from the position of
• 5:52
  you know, forcing myself. I was going to get them with a
• 5:55
  different driver. So I sat there and I said, What
• 5:58
  if possibility drives today? What if possibility fills out
• 6:01
  this application? And as soon as I did that all of
• 6:04
  a sudden, everything started to shift because possibility
• 6:08
  doesn't care about the outcome in the same way, a feared in
• 6:13
  judgment would do it. So possibility is just that it's
• 6:17
  possible. And as long as things are
• 6:19
  possible, I can shift, my head, I can get into a better
• 6:23
  headspace about it, so I don't have to go to being positive.
• 6:27
  I don't To go to all the way of knowing that it's going to
• 6:30
  happen. I don't have to know what the
• 6:31
  outcomes going to be. I just have to believe it's
• 6:33
  possible and when things are possible I feel better now that
• 6:38
  might not be your best driver in the moment.
• 6:40
  Maybe you don't want to go to possible but for me that's one
• 6:43
  of those really useful. I like it when possibility
• 6:46
  drives. I like it because she doesn't
• 6:48
  ever have a negative thought. She's like well what if it does
• 6:52
  she always takes a better spin on it if you will and if I stuck
• 6:57
  ask myself is Possibility. Driving.
• 6:59
  No. Okay.
• 6:59
  Put her in the seat. How would she handle this much
• 7:02
  better? And she would have this this and
• 7:04
  this, I just stay in that space and then I can finish it.
• 7:07
  So, I hope this helps you today. If there's something out there
• 7:11
  that you've been putting off and haven't done, and you really
• 7:13
  want to do it, do it have possibility, Drive, have your
• 7:17
  creative person Drive, have your person that's just absolutely
• 7:22
  focused. On happiness, Drive, do
• 7:25
  something. Put a put an emotion in that.
• 7:27
  Driver's seat that, you know, is going to be more helpful than
• 7:30
  that. One of Doubt because that one
• 7:34
  will steal your dreams baby. Alright, I will see you guys
• 7:37
  tomorrow and I hope you have a very blessed day.
