  Hey everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. Today's.
• 0:31
  Question What? Does it cost you to just stay
• 0:35
  stuck where you are? It's a pretty valuable question
• 0:38
  to ask yourself. And again.
• 0:41
  This reflective. Time of the year makes us say,
• 0:43
  well, you know, I want to go for something.
• 0:47
  I want to make sure this is something that I'm on, I'm
• 0:49
  working towards whatever it might be, and you think, oh man,
• 0:53
  I don't know if I want to pay the.
• 0:54
  Price to. Do it or I don't want to invest
• 0:56
  in myself or I don't want to. Put that risk out there.
• 0:59
  But the real question comes down to what does it?
• 1:01
  Cost. You to not do it.
• 1:03
  What are you giving up? What do you not know that you're
• 1:06
  giving up? Yikes, that's the one that
• 1:08
  always gets me. What are you giving up that you
• 1:11
  don't even know about? I'll tell you if there was one
• 1:14
  thing that drives. Me crazy, it's the.
• 1:16
  Fact that I might not know what I missed out on.
• 1:20
  If I don't try, I'll never know. If I don't sink my teeth into
• 1:23
  something, I'll never know. If I don't push myself, I'll
• 1:27
  never know. And.
• 1:29
  I love. To try to find these little
• 1:31
  questions that really trip me up and push me, really.
• 1:35
  Hard especially. When I am getting into the phase
• 1:38
  of planning and thinking and you know, I'm contemplating, what do
• 1:42
  I want to even put? Because I'm not I'm not making
• 1:44
  goals yet I'm not doing any of that.
• 1:46
  I'm just sitting and contemplating at all, but I have
• 1:48
  in order to contemplate and truly contemplate at a.
• 1:51
  High level. You have to be in the right
• 1:53
  mindset of asking the hard questions and say.
• 1:57
  Well, what would I risk if I? You know.
• 1:59
  Didn't do it. Not just that, you.
• 2:01
  Did do it, but what what's the risk if I didn't do it?
• 2:04
  And gosh, the thing for me is, you know.
• 2:07
  That old phrase. I haven't.
• 2:09
  Probably talked. About this in a long time, but I
• 2:12
  heard many years ago someone told me that the definition of
• 2:15
  hell. The real definition.
• 2:17
  Of hell was when the person you are meets the person you could
• 2:20
  have been, and that has haunted me ever since I've.
• 2:23
  Heard it because truly. I mean, who do we know?
• 2:27
  That just thinks about those little.
• 2:30
  Phrases all the time. Most people don't.
• 2:32
  They just stay in complacency. And for me, I think about those
• 2:35
  little phrases and they really motivate me because when the
• 2:38
  person you are meets the person you could have been, I promise
• 2:41
  you, you will not be happy if you do not pay attention to it
• 2:45
  now because you will become complacent.
• 2:47
  Because that's what this world teaches us to be.
• 2:49
  Complacent. Most of the people.
• 2:51
  Around us. Are.
• 2:52
  Very complacent, they. Just take life as it comes, it
• 2:57
  is what it. Is I can't tell you how many
• 2:59
  times I hear people. Say that.
• 3:02
  And not even in client saying it, but it's mostly people in
• 3:05
  the world. They're just like, you know,
• 3:06
  when you're talking to them. Oh yeah, it is what it is.
• 3:08
  You know, you got to just deal with it.
• 3:10
  And they and they don't do anything to change it.
• 3:11
  And for me, I don't live in that mindset.
• 3:13
  I don't live in that world and I don't understand it.
• 3:16
  So. From that.
• 3:18
  Perspective I think about okay. I never want to think that.
• 3:23
  Way I. Always want to be pushing myself
• 3:26
  and. Say, well, what will it cost?
• 3:27
  Me if I don't do it. What?
• 3:29
  Is that going to be? What am I going to do?
• 3:31
  If I. Don't do it.
• 3:33
  How much am I leaving on the table?
• 3:35
  Where you know, if I'm if I'm sitting in my rocking chair and
• 3:38
  I've got my grandchildren sitting around me, do I want to
• 3:41
  tell the tale of what I. Didn't do.
• 3:43
  Or do I want to tell the tale? Of what?
• 3:44
  I've done. Do I want them to ask me
• 3:47
  questions about? How I got to where I was.
• 3:50
  And be proud of. It.
• 3:51
  Or do I want to sit there and be ashamed that I never had the
• 3:54
  chance? I never took the chance.
• 3:56
  I. I have often thought about the.
• 3:59
  Fact that my mother would talk. About the fact that she wished
• 4:01
  she had done. Something different.
• 4:03
  She wanted to be a nurse, but she didn't have the good grades
• 4:06
  and she wanted to, you know, be a.
• 4:07
  Hairdresser, but she. Didn't want to have to stand as
• 4:11
  much as she did. And I thought, you know, it just
• 4:14
  breaks my heart. That she allowed herself.
• 4:17
  To live in a. Place where?
• 4:18
  She never. Pushed herself like that, she
• 4:20
  just accepted what was. And she never pushed herself.
• 4:24
  And that isn't something that I know how to do.
• 4:27
  I only know how to. Say what I what I said to you
• 4:31
  is, well, the person. That I am now is going to be
• 4:34
  pushed. Because.
• 4:35
  I never want to meet the person I could have been and be
• 4:38
  disappointed. I want to meet that person and
• 4:40
  give her a hug and. Say I'm.
• 4:41
  Really. Really.
• 4:42
  Proud of you because you crushed it.
• 4:44
  You kicked ass. You.
• 4:45
  Took names, you got it done, and you changed a bunch.
• 4:48
  Of lives while you're here. And it's not even about the
• 4:51
  number of lives to be working in this business and doing.
• 4:54
  It it's. Like.
• 4:54
  If I. Was to change one life I.
• 4:56
  Would be happy with that. But if?
• 4:58
  I realize. That I'm dropping.
• 5:00
  That Pebble and the ripple effects are taking place.
• 5:03
  And if one of you hears something and that helps someone
• 5:06
  else and so forth and so on, then we are doing what we're
• 5:08
  supposed to. Be doing because I.
• 5:10
  Believe in the laws of nature that.
• 5:12
  We are supposed to always be helping each other and.
• 5:14
  Lifting each other up. And that's what I work.
• 5:16
  Towards SO. I'm going to ask you to
• 5:18
  contemplate that today. Really.
• 5:20
  Think about it and think what's it going to cost you?
• 5:23
  If you don't do it. That's a tough one, OK, my
• 5:26
  friends. I hope you have a blessed.
• 5:28
  Day and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
