  Good morning from the chicken coop so I have a bold Statement
• 0:31
  to make for you this morning, trying to live without fear is
• 0:35
  bullshit and whoever is telling you in your life that you should
• 0:40
  be. Fearless is lying to you.
• 0:45
  Fear is part of our organizing principle system of emotions.
• 0:50
  We have it for a reason, it was given to us as a tool as as a
• 0:55
  very valuable tool. I might add for a reason having
• 1:00
  Fear helps us survive. And when you sit there and you
• 1:05
  are told over and over that, you should be Fearless, jump into
• 1:09
  something and not have any fear in the process.
• 1:13
  People are not being accurate with you and they are pushing
• 1:16
  you into something that is virtually impossible to do.
• 1:20
  Because as I said, fear is part of your emotional hard wiring
• 1:25
  system. So is that a bad thing?
• 1:28
  No, it's actually a very good thing.
• 1:29
  It stops us from doing. Stupid things.
• 1:31
  It stops us from jumping off of a cliff and into the water down
• 1:36
  below because we can't see how deep it is.
• 1:38
  So if we didn't have fear in our system, we might just take that
• 1:40
  leap and then end up very hurt. It also stops us from driving
• 1:45
  without a seat belt on it, helps us to understand, not to put a
• 1:51
  towel, a hand towel on a stove where we've got a pot and if
• 1:55
  Open Flame stand too close to a grill because we have fee, Here
• 2:01
  it saves us a lot of aggravation.
• 2:04
  Some of us has more fear than others and just like most
• 2:07
  emotions whenever there's too much of something that's never a
• 2:12
  good thing. So, the the real Crux of this
• 2:16
  is, why am I bringing this up? Because I've had quite a few
• 2:20
  clients that I've worked with lately who have been listening
• 2:23
  to some stuff that's going on out there about being fearless
• 2:27
  and I always laugh every time this comes up because I'm like
• 2:30
  no It's impossible. You will never be completely
• 2:34
  fear less where you're just operating without that, you have
• 2:39
  to have it and accepting the fact that you have it in your
• 2:42
  system. Like if you, if any of you
• 2:44
  follow me and I've ever read who's driving your bus, this is
• 2:47
  part of that, I tell you, all those emotions that are on your
• 2:51
  bus cannot be removed, they are on your bus permanently.
• 2:55
  They are there. You don't have to access them
• 2:57
  all the time but they are there for a reason.
• 3:00
  So that When you need them you can call upon them and this is
• 3:03
  no different but there's a big push for people to do things
• 3:08
  especially when you're in a sales course and they say, be
• 3:12
  Fearless jump into it and it really irritates the hell out of
• 3:16
  me because it's not reasonable to shame somebody into something
• 3:22
  because you want the result on the other side.
• 3:25
  So what is reasonable is to explain.
• 3:29
  Sure, this is going to be Thing that you're going to experience
• 3:32
  in the process, you're going to feel fear.
• 3:34
  It's going to feel uncomfortable and it's okay to go push through
• 3:38
  it and do it anyway, that's reasonable.
• 3:41
  It is not reasonable to tell someone.
• 3:43
  You should be Fearless because then they feel less than when
• 3:47
  they can't do it. So I'm telling you all right
• 3:50
  now, Without question, you can move through fear because you
• 3:55
  can recognize it for your shows up.
• 3:57
  You feel it? You say to yourself, wait, let
• 3:59
  me pause. What is this trying to teach me
• 4:01
  right now? Remember stop reflect choose
• 4:03
  redirect from bus book so you stop.
• 4:06
  Okay. What is this supposed to teach
• 4:08
  me right now? Well, if I'm a little bit in a
• 4:10
  state of fear, it's probably teaching me that I'm maybe not
• 4:13
  prepared. I haven't done this before.
• 4:15
  This is a new thing. Okay, great.
• 4:17
  So if I reflect and I say, what's a better driver than fear
• 4:19
  right now? Well, I can put confidence in
• 4:21
  the system. I can say if I was confident,
• 4:23
  how would I show up to do this task?
• 4:25
  And then confidence will answer the question and then you can
• 4:30
  reflect on how that's going to move you forward.
• 4:32
  You can choose that if that's the right one or choose a
• 4:36
  different one and then you can redirect yourself and go through
• 4:40
  the process. That is the essential way to do
• 4:44
  this when you stay stuck and you loop around the fact that you
• 4:50
  feel shame around feeling. Fear, you will not move, and I
• 4:54
  don't want anyone to put themselves into a place of
• 4:57
  feeling less than, because they're in a state of fear.
• 4:59
  It's okay, everyone's afraid, I have days when I'm afraid.
• 5:02
  Listen, when I first got my chickens, I was afraid.
• 5:04
  I didn't know how to take care of them all the right.
• 5:06
  Way, hadn't done it in so many years.
• 5:07
  I was afraid. I was going to kill all these
• 5:09
  baby chicks. I was afraid.
• 5:10
  I didn't know what was going to, they were going to need, or how
• 5:12
  it's going to happen. We all have fear, we all have
• 5:15
  fear throughout our day. Any little thing can happen and
• 5:18
  it's okay because it's part of our hardwiring.
• 5:20
  It's part of who we are. And it's Part of what makes us
• 5:24
  you'll be able to survive. So no shame in this.
• 5:28
  Nothing to focus on about that other than working yourself to
• 5:33
  know, what am I supposed to take away from this and then
• 5:36
  directing yourself through it. But don't worry about the fact
• 5:40
  that you're not feel, is that means you're safe and you're
• 5:44
  normal. And that's okay.
• 5:46
  And you could move yourself through it.
• 5:48
  So I hope you guys have an excellent day.
• 5:51
  I hope you have Have a fabulous time, redirecting yourself and I
• 5:54
  will see you all tomorrow.
