• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Today, I want to talk to you about taking ownership of
• 0:34
  yourself. I'm talking a hundred percent
• 0:36
  ownership of yourself. Your thoughts, your feelings,
• 0:38
  and your actions. And you may think this is what I
• 0:42
  do every day and I will challenge you.
• 0:45
  That you're probably not doing that every day because most of
• 0:48
  us, don't think about it. And we just are stuck in our
• 0:52
  little worlds and we operate in our little bubble and we tend to
• 0:57
  blame other people for how things go well.
• 1:00
  I wasn't able to do this because of this, or I didn't get there
• 1:03
  because I had to do this or I wasn't able to get to the gym
• 1:08
  today because I had to do x, y and z.
• 1:13
  Well, the truth is, you could have gotten to the gym.
• 1:16
  If you had taken a hundred percent ownership of the fact
• 1:19
  that you wanted to get to the gym, could have figured a way
• 1:21
  out. You could have done a lot of
• 1:24
  things differently, no doubt. If you had just said in the
• 1:27
  beginning, I take 100% ownership of this and blank, blank, blank,
• 1:31
  whatever it is, I promise you, you have more hours in a day
• 1:35
  than you think, or that you recognize or that you utilize.
• 1:39
  Let me say, because everybody gets into their habitat.
• 1:43
  And they function in a certain way that they're used to and in
• 1:48
  order to change things up, you know, you have to change things
• 1:51
  up. It's just like when I first
• 1:53
  started recording this podcast, it's like, oh my gosh, where am
• 1:58
  I going to fit the time? And for that, that's my very
• 2:00
  first thought. Where am I going to fit the time
• 2:02
  in for that? But the truth is, I have the
• 2:05
  time to do it and I have the time to do the editing.
• 2:08
  I just have to rearrange my schedule a little bit.
• 2:11
  I have the time to work out. If I choose to, I have the time
• 2:15
  to read, if I choose to, I can change my world.
• 2:20
  If I am taking ownership of myself and I stop putting it on
• 2:25
  other people and saying, well, they dictate it.
• 2:27
  Well, I have to do this because of this, or I have to do this, I
• 2:32
  can't do that because of this. We love to make up stories and
• 2:36
  excuses about the reasons things don't work well.
• 2:40
  In reality, it's nice and it makes us feel great for a second
• 2:45
  that were relieved that it wasn't just us.
• 2:47
  But the truth is it is always us and we have to go back to saying
• 2:51
  if it's important and I really want it I have to take ownership
• 2:55
  of myself and I have to do the work necessary to get where I
• 2:59
  want to go. Otherwise I'm not going to get
• 3:01
  where I want to go. Otherwise I'm going to stay
• 3:03
  right where I am because I've never taken ownership over a
• 3:05
  situation or myself. And once I'm willing to take
• 3:09
  ownership over I have to care for it.
• 3:12
  I have to cultivate it. I have to do the things that are
• 3:15
  necessary in order to make it different.
• 3:19
  And that all begins with being 100% responsible for yourself.
• 3:24
  You know, heard me say it before we are 50%.
• 3:27
  If we were in relationships with people, we are always 50%
• 3:30
  responsible for how we show up in those relationships in that
• 3:34
  sense of shared responsibility. However, we are 100%
• 3:39
  responsible. Bill for ourselves.
• 3:41
  Always and we have to be willing to know.
• 3:45
  And look at ourselves really know yourself.
• 3:48
  Ask the right questions. Can't not ask the right
• 3:51
  questions. I mean, whenever we do that kind
• 3:54
  of stuff, we completely mess ourselves up in the process
• 3:58
  because we starting off point is the the on, resourceful
• 4:02
  question. Why did they do this to me?
• 4:06
  I'm resourceful question. You'll never figure out why they
• 4:08
  did. It doesn't matter why they did
• 4:10
  it just dealing with the conditions as what we need to
• 4:12
  know, hard concept to believe. But it's true and understanding
• 4:18
  your level of ownership of yourself, is the beginning of
• 4:23
  unplugging all that other toxic stuff that goes on when you can
• 4:27
  unplug that and unplug those toxic beliefs that told you
• 4:31
  back, Providence moves. And all of a sudden you have a
• 4:36
  completely different view of the world, so, Stop and pause like
• 4:42
  seriously. Stop and pause and ask yourself
• 4:45
  the question, am I truly taking ownership of myself of my life
• 4:50
  of all the things that I have going on in my taking ownership
• 4:53
  of it? Or am I just passing the buck?
• 4:55
  Am I just saying, well I can't or it's, you know, it's not,
• 5:00
  it's not feasible right now. And, you know, I hear this a lot
• 5:03
  especially when it comes to people saying, well, I want to
• 5:07
  work on what I want to do over the next year or the next six
• 5:10
  months. But I can't yet because I have
• 5:13
  to clean this up first, and boy. Oh boy.
• 5:17
  That is so limiting because it's not you not taking ownership of
• 5:23
  the entire vision for yourself. You can say, there's a sequence
• 5:28
  to it sure. But you can't just say to
• 5:30
  yourself. Hey, I'm just going to sideline
• 5:32
  all of this so that I can, you know, complain about what's
• 5:37
  going on right now and focus on this.
• 5:41
  These problems right here as opposed to saying, okay, you
• 5:45
  know what? I take ownership.
• 5:46
  I got myself here. I'm going to still work on my
• 5:49
  vision forward and I'm going to work on this one where I am
• 5:52
  right now. And this is how I'm going to do
• 5:53
  it. And I'm going to make a plan for
• 5:55
  here and I'm going to make a plan for out there.
• 5:58
  And each day I'm going to take ownership of myself and add
• 6:01
  value to both those columns so that I can get where I want to
• 6:05
  go. It works, trust me.
• 6:09
  But the fundamental of it is always come back to owning
• 6:12
  yourself. You must take ownership of your
• 6:14
  actions, your thoughts your beliefs.
• 6:17
  And when you do boy, world will change.
• 6:22
  Okay? My friends have a great day and
• 6:24
  I'll see you tomorrow.
