- 0:22Along with all her chickens. Hello everybody.
- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:31So ultimately, we have two choices, we can be a host to our
- 0:36greatness or we can be a prisoner of our weaknesses.
- 0:41And when you start thinking of things like this, you can start
- 0:46to break it down. A lot quicker for yourself and
- 0:48make decisions about how you want to show up.
- 0:51Everything comes back to two essential pieces.
- 0:54Are you hosting that greatness? Or are you a prisoner of the
- 0:58weakness and the weakness can be Find many different ways and
- 1:02it's a great thing to check in and say, well, what are my
- 1:05weaknesses? Is it?
- 1:06My inner dialogue? Is it the fact that I listen to
- 1:08my dysfunctions? Do I argue for what could go
- 1:11wrong all the time? Do I live in a state of despair
- 1:14over things? And ultimately once you start to
- 1:17get clear on all of this, you at that point in time have more
- 1:20power than you could ever ever imagine because you are
- 1:24essentially making decisions from a higher self.
- 1:29When you host Your greatness. You're coming at things from a
- 1:34completely different mindset, you're coming at things from
- 1:37that, spiritual side of things, you're saying.
- 1:39I can I am willing to look at myself and see greatness where
- 1:44there isn't any yet. Supposedly.
- 1:46I'm you know, I'm in this place where I don't see any greatness
- 1:49but I believe in myself and I'm willing to work towards it.
- 1:52And I believe in myself and I am going to allow myself to have
- 1:57that Gift and see myself the way the universe sees may see myself
- 2:04the way God sees me. You know, my mother used to say
- 2:06all the time when I was a kid, God doesn't make garbage.
- 2:09And I, you know, I didn't understand it the way I do now
- 2:13as an adult, and I will say how true is that.
- 2:16I mean, that is phenomenally accurate and when you start to
- 2:20realize that everything in nature has a purpose and that we
- 2:23are part of Nature and you start to realize that, you know, an
- 2:27intrical part of it. There is no exception to the
- 2:31rule, where we aren't in control of what we think we are, always
- 2:36in control of what we think. No one can change that for us
- 2:40except us. So, when you think about what
- 2:43you can do, and how you can host your greatness, all of a sudden,
- 2:46everything starts to shift. So, if you were, let's say you
- 2:50were thinking of this, in terms of hosting a party, you would
- 2:53have a list, a mile long, you would be thinking about all the
- 2:57cool things you could do for. Or said party, you'd be thinking
- 3:01about how to make your guests, have a great time.
- 3:03What their experience would be like, what food you would have,
- 3:06what entertainment, you would have, Who You'd invite, who
- 3:09would sit next to each other? I mean, we go to the nth degree
- 3:13when it comes to calibrating and putting together parties because
- 3:17we want everyone to have a good time and we want everyone to
- 3:20think that we really know what we're doing well.
- 3:24When's the last time you hosted something for your greatness?
- 3:28When's the last time you actually plotted out your
- 3:31greatness? I know I can speak for myself.
- 3:34I've done it, but I've rarely done it and I haven't done it as
- 3:37much as I have done in the last few years because it really
- 3:40became something that I wanted to be able to teach and I
- 3:42couldn't teach it if I didn't do it for myself first.
- 3:45So when you start putting your brain in that direction,
- 3:50everything starts to unfold. What do you want your It's to
- 3:54be, if you are hosting your greatness, what do you want it
- 3:58to be like in your head? How do you want to think?
- 4:00How do you want to feel all of those things?
- 4:04Come down to doing a, an excellent job for yourself and
- 4:08you want to do? Excellent jobs for other people.
- 4:10Why shouldn't you want to do an excellent job for yourself?
- 4:12I mean, for crying out loud. The least you can do is do an
- 4:15excellent job for yourself. If not for anybody else
- 4:18yourself. So, take a moment and pause and
- 4:23really look at the Other side to save yourself.
- 4:26Okay. Well, I am a prisoner of my
- 4:29thoughts. Sometimes I am a prisoner of my
- 4:32inner dialogue. I am a prisoner of these things
- 4:34in the RO fall under the category of weakness because we
- 4:38just allow ourselves to slide and give ourselves that.
- 4:42Oh, it's okay but it's really not.
- 4:45Okay. You know I've used the analogy
- 4:48before on here talking about the rain barrel scenario, where I've
- 4:52got a rain barrel and I It's filled with fresh water.
- 4:55Clean clean water. And I put One Drop of Poison in
- 4:58it and I say it's okay. The EPA says, it's okay, you can
- 5:02go ahead and drink it. It's diluted enough.
- 5:05Would you drink it? You wouldn't.
- 5:07And that's what happens when you stay a prisoner of your weakness
- 5:12because you're saying oh it's only in our wasn't that bad
- 5:15today I wasn't bit that kills it that kills you and pulls you in
- 5:20a direction that is so unhealthy.
- 5:24And it roads at your mindset, it erodes at your greatness and it
- 5:29weakens the experience of the party.
- 5:31So I'm going to tell you go off and contemplate the two choices
- 5:36and see if you're going to have a party for yourself and your
- 5:38greatness because I surely hope that you are.
- 5:41And I know it would be epic. All right, my friends.
- 5:44I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
- 5:47Bye.
