• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:29
  coop. So often I get asked, you know,
• 0:32
  I have a goal and I really am working towards my goal and I
• 0:36
  feel like I'm being ridiculous and it's not happening as quick
• 0:40
  as I wanted to And people are commenting on it and I just feel
• 0:44
  like I'm defeated and I don't know what to do.
• 0:48
  And First things first, in that whole little diatribe that I
• 0:52
  just gave out there, the first problem is.
• 0:55
  One, why are we talking to other people about things we should
• 0:58
  never talk to other people about goals that we are working on?
• 1:03
  Because quite frankly, you need to release the good opinion of
• 1:06
  other people and the desire to share with them, even if you
• 1:12
  think that they're going to have your best intent out there when
• 1:16
  you're in the process of being creative and you share with
• 1:20
  other people. You really have to be careful
• 1:24
  because you are taking in their interpretation instead of your
• 1:26
  own. You're not necessarily working
• 1:30
  purely from yourself. Now, if you do this with the
• 1:34
  intent that you want to collaborate, that's different.
• 1:36
  But if you're doing it with the intent of just saying, hey, look
• 1:39
  how cool this is, somebody else is going to jump in and want to
• 1:44
  add to it. They're going to either give you
• 1:47
  their positive or their negative opinion.
• 1:49
  They're going to give you feedback, the dreaded feedback,
• 1:52
  and maybe that's OK, but for me, I think that these.
• 1:59
  When you're in a true creative process and when you are working
• 2:01
  towards something that means something to you, when it speaks
• 2:04
  to your soul, when it's something that you know, this
• 2:07
  lights you up and you decide, okay, I'm going to start to let
• 2:10
  other people get in on this, you open the door to the problem of
• 2:15
  them having opinions. And those opinions shift you.
• 2:19
  Now, granted, I'm not taking away that.
• 2:21
  Sometimes there are good ideas and some people add to it, but
• 2:24
  you've got to be exceptionally careful of allowing that to take
• 2:29
  place in your life. I can remember when I was, you
• 2:32
  know, thinking about doing the podcast and the chicken coop.
• 2:35
  I didn't talk about it because I knew it sounded crazy.
• 2:39
  I knew it was nuts and. I knew if I started talking
• 2:42
  about someone's going to say, really, you really think that's
• 2:45
  going to work? You really think that people are
• 2:46
  going to want to listen to chickens in the background, so
• 2:49
  annoying. And then it would have induced
• 2:51
  it out. And then I would have not done
• 2:53
  it and we would not be here and we would not be close to, you
• 2:56
  know, 500 episodes. Which is insane when you think
• 2:59
  about it that I've done this every day for this many days.
• 3:02
  But I know the value it adds. I know that we have listeners in
• 3:07
  20 countries and we have. 10s of thousands of downloads and that.
• 3:12
  I know it's making a difference because it's 5 minutes where
• 3:14
  somebody can just get their head screwed on straight after
• 3:17
  they've had a crazy morning or they're going into a crazy day
• 3:20
  and they want to have something that just puts their, you know,
• 3:24
  mind at ease and reminds them of who they are and who they choose
• 3:27
  to be. So letting go of that and
• 3:31
  saying, you know, if there's a calling and it's in my gut.
• 3:35
  Then it's something that I should pay attention to.
• 3:36
  It's something that I should work on.
• 3:38
  It's something that I should give my effort to, because it
• 3:43
  matters. I am a firm believer of that
• 3:46
  when something is a true calling in your soul, when it makes you
• 3:50
  excited, when it gives you those positive emotions and you put
• 3:54
  them out there and you work towards them and they're for the
• 3:57
  greater good and they're something that just, you know
• 4:01
  will light someone up, it matters.
• 4:03
  And when you believe in it, Providence moves.
• 4:06
  It provides you with what you need to make things happen.
• 4:10
  The universe and God will provide you with what you need
• 4:13
  to make it happen. But it requires you cocreating
• 4:16
  with it and getting out of your own way and asking those
• 4:19
  questions in the beginning of you know this, this is blah,
• 4:25
  blah, blah blah blah. And I don't know is it right?
• 4:28
  Should I do? Every part of creation always
• 4:33
  has moments where there's questions on that side and we
• 4:37
  have to sort through them and we have to believe in ourselves and
• 4:41
  we have to say, OK, I must have to change my approach.
• 4:44
  Changing your approach is not a bad thing.
• 4:47
  It works. Think of it like a three-point
• 4:48
  turn. You have to do 3 point turn to
• 4:51
  get into that parallel parking space.
• 4:54
  When you try to dive in, it's a nightmare and sometimes we start
• 4:57
  right away and we dive into the spot but we can't.
• 4:59
  We got to you know back up, do this, do it the right way.
• 5:02
  So there's always adjustments and that's OK.
• 5:05
  It's part of the process, it's part of the growth.
• 5:09
  So just consider that and and don't give up on yourself,
• 5:12
  remember. Keep it to yourself.
• 5:15
  Stay on track, believe in the message that you're being sent,
• 5:18
  and go cocreate something great. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:21
  you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:24
  Bye.
