  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Have you ever been up into your own balloon meaning?
• 0:34
  Have you ever just come up with this exciting?
• 0:38
  Wonderful thing that you want to do or something place you want
• 0:41
  to go or just something that really Thrills you and then all
• 0:44
  of a sudden, your brain just clicks on and says, well, let me
• 0:48
  tell you all the reasons why this isn't going to work.
• 0:51
  Or let me tell you the reasons why we shouldn't do this.
• 0:53
  And all of a sudden that doubting dan part of the bus
• 0:58
  starts driving. And before you know it Oh it,
• 1:01
  you have become the PIN to your own balloon.
• 1:03
  You've popped the idea you've said screw it, I'm not going to
• 1:06
  do it or this isn't going to work, and you've talked yourself
• 1:09
  out of it before you even had a chance to bring a moment of it
• 1:12
  to life. Well, we all do this and in my
• 1:17
  opinion right now, this happens more than ever, I can't begin to
• 1:22
  express to you how much I see people just killing their own
• 1:27
  dreams, killing their own ideas. Killing.
• 1:30
  Own excitement stabbing themselves to the point where
• 1:36
  they just feel defeated, and then, it's, like, right back to
• 1:38
  the rat race. Now, there are, there's a theory
• 1:42
  out here about this as to. Why do people do this to
• 1:45
  themselves? Why shouldn't you be the biggest
• 1:47
  advocate for yourself? Well one.
• 1:50
  It's because again, our emotions are here to help us.
• 1:53
  So when you start doubting that emotion is supposed to help you,
• 1:57
  it's supposed to give you the ability to make.
• 2:00
  Sure that you continue with caution, you proceed with
• 2:04
  caution, but that's not what happens.
• 2:07
  We don't use it that way. What we end up doing is we use
• 2:10
  it in a way that says I'm just going to kill the idea.
• 2:12
  I'm going to squash the whole thing as opposed to.
• 2:14
  I'm going to be thoughtful and I'm going to look at this from a
• 2:16
  perspective, get down all the things that could happen might
• 2:20
  happen but you know I'm still going to be enthusiastic about
• 2:24
  it and I recently saw this in my own family because my daughter
• 2:28
  and her husband are thinking about Doing something and taking
• 2:33
  doing a side business and it's a great idea.
• 2:37
  It's a great idea. And she has really just gotten
• 2:42
  to the point where, you know, she had.
• 2:44
  It was like, well, I'm not sure and you know, the truth is, is
• 2:49
  the idea right for them. The idea is an excellent idea,
• 2:54
  it might not be right for them, where they are at their point in
• 2:57
  their life, but it's an excellent idea, but it didn't
• 3:00
  have to be Old for the reason, which she was doing it because
• 3:03
  her reason was very different than the actual reason and
• 3:07
  sometimes it takes an outside voice.
• 3:10
  Sometimes you have to sit down with a trusted person who's not
• 3:13
  going to just be negative to you but it's going to actually give
• 3:16
  you thoughts on it and say well here are the pros and cons like
• 3:20
  that old school way of doing a pros and cons list is actually
• 3:23
  very strong and very powerful but you've got to do it from
• 3:26
  neutral. You can't do it from a place of
• 3:28
  saying, hey, I'm going to just So I'm going to just put this on
• 3:33
  this piece of paper and beat myself up about it.
• 3:36
  I'm just going to the pros and cons list are going to just be
• 3:39
  that just pros and cons but I'm going to do it from neutral.
• 3:42
  I'm not going to do it from a place of trying to really hard
• 3:46
  beat myself up for this is idea and thinking it's stupid,
• 3:49
  because the moment you start thinking the idea is stupid,
• 3:51
  you're in the wrong emotion. The moment, you start thinking
• 3:55
  that you're anything other than neutral about it, you're in the
• 3:58
  wrong emotion. You know.
• 4:01
  I can't stress that enough. I have to do that with myself.
• 4:03
  All the time. I recently was asked to go out
• 4:06
  and do a job at a big event and I gave them a quote went through
• 4:12
  the whole process and actually sat there and said I'm totally
• 4:15
  neutral. Either way, don't care if I go
• 4:17
  don't care. If I don't go and that's the
• 4:19
  place that you want to be in when you've made a solid
• 4:23
  decision. Like, yes, I'd go sure I'd go.
• 4:25
  I'd be happy to go, but I don't care.
• 4:28
  I'm detached from it and I'm doing it from the right.
• 4:30
  Emotion as opposed to being negative and killing the dream
• 4:35
  because of that fear, or the anxiety or the frustration of
• 4:39
  not knowing, how to do something, that is critically
• 4:42
  important. You've got to let get past that
• 4:45
  you've got to get past that piece of yourself.
• 4:47
  So I thought today it would be worth it.
• 4:49
  To ask you guys, you know, how many times have you wiped out
• 4:52
  your own dream? How many times have you just
• 4:55
  said, you know, no, I'm not even going to try, I'm not even going
• 4:58
  to see how I can put it together because sometimes we look at, We
• 5:01
  just say oh man, this is so overwhelmingly big.
• 5:04
  I'm never going to get this done.
• 5:05
  I'm never going to have this happen and from that point, no,
• 5:10
  you will not from that standpoint.
• 5:12
  You will not make it happen because it's not the right
• 5:15
  emotion to be in. But once you start to get out of
• 5:18
  that emotion and you start to move up the ladder, a bit with
• 5:22
  it, you start to or in my metaphoric move to the front of
• 5:25
  the bus, get to the better emotions that you want at the
• 5:28
  front of the bus, the ones that serve You better all of a
• 5:32
  sudden, everything starts to change.
• 5:34
  So I'm going to challenge you guys to think about it.
• 5:36
  How many times have you killed your own dream and are those
• 5:39
  dreams still back? There lingering, are there
• 5:41
  things back there that you just know, you know, would mean
• 5:45
  something to you. Whether it's, you know,
• 5:47
  finishing, your college degree, whether it's learning to paint,
• 5:51
  I don't care what it is. It could be good.
• 5:52
  Whether it's create your own business, who knows what it
• 5:55
  could be. But the truth is, if it's back
• 5:57
  there and it's still with you and you still think about it.
• 6:00
  Then work towards that finds the way to do it, have someone help
• 6:05
  you do something, that would move you in the right direction
• 6:09
  because I promised you the level of Happiness, you'll feel when
• 6:12
  you get there is astounding. So I hope you guys have an
• 6:15
  amazing, amazing day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 6:18
  Bye.
