- 0:27Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:29So today I want to share something with you that I think
- 0:32is really important. And if you are not a person that
- 0:36believes in anything and you're just completely like just void
- 0:40of any spirituality. And this is a week that you have
- 0:45struggled with because Kim's talking about spirituality, I
- 0:48completely understand and hopefully you were able to find
- 0:51something from it. But today is something that I
- 0:53think is I, I want to challenge everybody to take a look at it.
- 0:58And I'm not trying to force you to become spiritual at all.
- 1:01I'm just telling you to take a look at it because there's
- 1:03goodies in all of it. So understanding different
- 1:07things, learning different things always helps a human
- 1:10grow. And one of the big pieces of
- 1:12this is studying different doctrine, looking at different
- 1:15things from fresh eyes. And there is there's a YouTube.
- 1:21Well, actually, I think he's Instagram.
- 1:22He's on YouTube too, but he's Instagram Nas daily.
- 1:25So it's Nas daily and Nas was famous for doing one minute
- 1:31videos all around the world talking about different things,
- 1:34all good stuff all the time. And if you visit his YouTube
- 1:39channel and his Instagram page, you will find that he I think
- 1:44he's on all the platforms. Let me be very clear about that
- 1:46as I'm I just watch him on Instagram most of the time.
- 1:51But he has over the last six months, he has done a deep dive
- 1:57into different religions of the world and even being agnostic.
- 2:02And he has done a video, not one minute, but he's done a study
- 2:06into them, seeing what he could take from each of them and what
- 2:09it has brought to him. And in the process of watching
- 2:13him go through this and seeing what he has to say and looking
- 2:17at it like from his perspective, it just brings so much
- 2:21information and growth to me. Like just learning from his
- 2:26perspective of it and saying, wow, that's something I'd be
- 2:29interested in knowing more about.
- 2:31Or wow, that's an interesting concept of how they believe
- 2:35that. Or wow, I love that belief that
- 2:37they have in what their religion is teaching.
- 2:40Now, the power of all of this is to say that reading different
- 2:44spiritual doctrine or reading different spiritual principles
- 2:49or different perspectives is powerful to us as human beings
- 2:54because it helps us grow our scope of tolerance.
- 2:59And nothing is more important than being tolerant of what
- 3:02other people believe. If it's not being forced on us,
- 3:05then there's no reason we should fear anything if it's not forced
- 3:08on us. You know, I, I, I'm completely
- 3:10in agreement that if somebody's trying to force you to do
- 3:12something, that's wrong. But if you look at it just from
- 3:16the perspective of knowing it and saying, wow, that's
- 3:20unbelievable that you believe that.
- 3:21And I can believe this and we can still be friends.
- 3:24It it fosters a nature of acceptance, tolerance, and love
- 3:29that is more than OK. And I have had the pleasure of
- 3:33traveling all over this world working for Tony Robbins and
- 3:37many other speakers. And I have met people from every
- 3:41continent, every religion. It's been just an absolute
- 3:46pleasure to learn from all of them and see how kind and sweet
- 3:52and loving so many people are. Because when you tap into the
- 3:56big mass media of the world, it doesn't look that way.
- 3:59But in reality, it is a lot like that.
- 4:03And when you shut off all the other crap in the garbage that's
- 4:06out there and you just start studying and you look at good
- 4:09people who want to offer good things and share good things and
- 4:12have good information, it's amazing what can come out of it.
- 4:17So I am going to challenge you to say I'm going to go and learn
- 4:22some of this. Now, I'm not suggesting you go
- 4:24and buy different books on different religions and all of a
- 4:26sudden dive in, but at least delve into it at the very
- 4:29minimum. Maybe just go and listen to the,
- 4:31you know, the six month religious breakdowns that Nas
- 4:36did because it's fascinating, but try to incorporate the
- 4:41ability to sit down and learn something about them.
- 4:44Even if you sat on ChatGPT and said, explain to me in a
- 4:47nutshell, blank, whatever it was that you wanted to know, you
- 4:51would be amazed at how much more information you walk away with
- 4:56and how much commonality we find in it.
- 4:59So that's what this is about, picking it up, having a
- 5:03tolerance for it, looking at other people no matter how they
- 5:06show up and recognizing that wherever they are, that's OK,
- 5:11and that you're tolerant for that as well.
- 5:13And you're looking to say, hey, you know what, it's good as long
- 5:17as you've got something that you can put inside yourself and
- 5:20believe in your aspect of it. It's respecting those different
- 5:25spiritual teachings throughout the world and knowing that I can
- 5:30learn something from each one of them.
- 5:33All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
- 5:36will see you tomorrow. Bye.
