  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So to continue our conversation about creativity, another core
• 0:36
  belief that I have about creativity is that it is a
• 0:40
  spiritual experience to be creative.
• 0:42
  And I know that sounds strange to say it, but I truly believe
• 0:45
  that because, you know, if you're a regular listener,
• 0:49
  you've heard me talk in the past about how nobody understands
• 0:52
  where ideas come from. They know in the brain where
• 0:56
  things fire off, but nobody understands, like, where an idea
• 0:59
  actually comes from. And that to me is divine.
• 1:05
  It is truly a divine situation. And when you think about, when
• 1:09
  you start to really pay attention to the fact that ideas
• 1:13
  are truly something that is alive and they come into your
• 1:17
  mind and they come to be actualized.
• 1:20
  They look for a person, a soul to make them real.
• 1:25
  And not all of them are for you. They might come in and then they
• 1:29
  might leave. That's why if an idea shows up
• 1:31
  all of a sudden, if you don't actualize it, and then all of a
• 1:34
  sudden it leaves you, you never do anything about it.
• 1:36
  And then you see somebody else and they're like, oh, that was
• 1:38
  my idea. That guy stole it.
• 1:39
  No, you never did the work to make it happen.
• 1:42
  And that's where it gets tricky because it's a, it's a very
• 1:46
  spiritual thing. They come in with the intention
• 1:49
  of you actualizing them and, and, and I, I can't begin to
• 1:54
  tell you how much I believe that.
• 1:56
  So when they come, if I'm, if I know I'm not going to take an
• 2:00
  idea on and make it happen or feel like it's right for me and,
• 2:06
  and a fit for me, I say right away, this is, this is not an
• 2:10
  ideal situation for me to actualize you and I release you
• 2:16
  and I'm going to go and focus on the things that I'm focused on.
• 2:19
  I don't, I'll let myself hang on and feel remorse about it.
• 2:23
  I just recognize that there are certain propensities to, to
• 2:28
  projects that just are not right for me.
• 2:30
  And there are certain other ones that are ideal for me.
• 2:33
  So you know, when they show up, the belief that it is a
• 2:38
  spiritual situation is super, super helpful because you can
• 2:42
  recognize right away that you have this connection with the
• 2:45
  universe, God, whatever it is that you believe and they are,
• 2:50
  it's energy. It is 100% energy joining you,
• 2:53
  coming to you recognizing that that piece of the puzzle is so
• 2:58
  important because it it's your connection.
• 3:01
  It not only is it your proof that you are connected, but it
• 3:04
  is a direct reflection of how your the depth of your
• 3:10
  connection. So I feel like I am always on
• 3:13
  fire creativity wise because I'm really connected.
• 3:18
  I really believe in that. I do not believe that I'm alone.
• 3:21
  I believe these things are, these are spiritual connections
• 3:25
  and they help make me a different, better person every
• 3:28
  single day. So I thrive in that.
• 3:31
  It's it's about cultivating the beliefs that serve you long
• 3:35
  term. And if you look at it and you
• 3:37
  say I'm not creative, then you you're denying part of what's
• 3:41
  true because the universe is in constant creation, constant
• 3:45
  expansion. And you are part of that.
• 3:48
  You are essence of that. You know, we heard me say
• 3:51
  before, we are, we have Stardust in our veins.
• 3:54
  It's it, it, it is provable that we are part of the universe and
• 3:58
  the universe is part of us. So if that is true, which it is,
• 4:02
  then we are part of that creativity of constant
• 4:05
  expansion, constant growth, constant evolution, and we have
• 4:08
  to embrace that. That is a spiritual experience,
• 4:11
  my friends, being able to create, whether it's creating
• 4:15
  muffins in the morning or creating art or creating a whole
• 4:18
  new app or building something that's raw power, creativity.
• 4:24
  So when you embrace it, it changes you from the inside out
• 4:28
  and it allows you to to tap into that spiritual side of yourself
• 4:34
  more and more and more and more. It gives you strength, it gives
• 4:37
  you power. It gives you this untethered,
• 4:41
  like, you know, just a more of an unbridled than untethered
• 4:46
  because I always feel like I am tethered to the universe.
• 4:48
  But it's more of that unbridled enthusiasm that you can run into
• 4:52
  it with. So I'm going to challenge you to
• 4:55
  start redefining the spiritual part of this because if you've
• 4:58
  never thought of it that way, it's a game changer.
• 5:01
  OK, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you
• 5:05
  all tomorrow. Bye.
