Seeking happiness outside ourselves · Good Morning From The Chicken Coop!

• 0:01
  Hey everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:03
  coop. Want to read a Tibetan saying to
• 0:07
  you that I absolutely love seeking happiness.
• 0:10
  Outside ourselves is like waiting for sunlight in a cave
• 0:14
  facing north boy. I mean, when you really start
• 0:18
  thinking about that, it's so true because we often will use
• 0:23
  phrases and say to ourselves, I'll be happy when blah blah
• 0:28
  blah and it's always something outside.
• 0:30
  Ourselves as opposed to just deciding to be happy no matter
• 0:33
  what is going on around us. And that's what we're talking
• 0:37
  about today. Choosing to be happy, no matter
• 0:40
  what is going on around us. There are going to be sad things
• 0:43
  that happen. There's no question about it and
• 0:45
  there's nothing that we can do about it, because that is called
• 0:48
  life. That is what life is all about.
• 0:51
  There are things that go on and there, you know, some people
• 0:55
  believe that they show up for us so that they can help us
• 0:58
  transform. Some people believe things.
• 1:00
  This happen to us. Some people don't understand
• 1:02
  that at all. I myself happen to think that
• 1:06
  it's all a matter of perspective.
• 1:07
  It's all in how you look at it. It's all in what you see.
• 1:12
  So as I'm sitting here and the girls are coming out this
• 1:15
  morning and hanging out with me, I've got girls that are in flux
• 1:20
  but say they are completely molting and quite frankly, they
• 1:24
  look like hell. There have lost a lot of their
• 1:26
  feathers and you could sit there and you could look at that and
• 1:29
  you could A God that chicken is a mess.
• 1:33
  But I look at it and I could say, well, yeah, she looks like
• 1:35
  hell, but I realized that's because she's in a process of
• 1:39
  shedding, her old feathers, to get her new feathers.
• 1:41
  And when your new feathers show up, she's going to look
• 1:43
  brilliant. She's going to look amazing.
• 1:45
  Can see beyond it and I'm not any less happy with them than I
• 1:51
  ever was. Because I don't look to this and
• 1:54
  say, okay, this is something I can be unhappy about.
• 1:57
  Oh, I'm so irritated that my chickens are shedding because I
• 2:00
  or you know, molting they are It's just a process that they go
• 2:04
  through. I actually saw someone put a
• 2:06
  post up the other day and one of the groups that I'm a part of
• 2:08
  and she was complaining that her chickens were getting feathers
• 2:12
  all over her yard and she was so irritated with it and I thought
• 2:15
  to myself well this is hysterical.
• 2:17
  Why can how do you get aggravated with chickens for
• 2:20
  doing part of their process of molting?
• 2:23
  I mean that's like saying I'm irritated with myself or my
• 2:26
  fingernails growing or a my hair falling you know my hair
• 2:29
  shedding every day or any of the other Amazing things that our
• 2:34
  bodies do to maintain ourselves. But again, these simple little
• 2:38
  facts, all, show up. Under one thing, I'll be happy
• 2:41
  when you happy, when I get the house, I'll be happy when I get
• 2:44
  the car. I'll be happy when I get the
• 2:46
  raise and it's bullshit. I have to just call bullshit on
• 2:50
  this because you have to choose to be happy first.
• 2:55
  You can't sit there and wait for happiness to show up.
• 3:00
  It is not a thing that you are see.
• 3:03
  Seeking it is a state of mind. It is a place that you choose to
• 3:07
  be and go to and when you choose to do it and go to it and have
• 3:12
  it be your everyday. Every moment reality then life
• 3:19
  becomes exponentially. Better easier you just feel more
• 3:25
  balanced. You don't feel completely thrown
• 3:28
  by all the things that are going on out in the world.
• 3:32
  We can all focus on all the crap that's going on right now, but
• 3:36
  it doesn't matter. No matter how much you focus on
• 3:38
  it, you're not going to change it while you're going to change
• 3:40
  is yourself and how happy you choose to be.
• 3:44
  So this is such an important lesson as we finish up this year
• 3:49
  because often people going to start looking up, what they got
• 3:52
  done, what they still need to do the dreading of the holidays,
• 3:56
  whether it's for getting presents or having to cook for
• 3:59
  other people, whatever it might be or just not.
• 4:02
  Having family to celebrate it with.
• 4:04
  This is one of those times where I will challenge everybody and
• 4:07
  I'll say, nope, you choose to go into the holiday season feeling
• 4:11
  blessed. And abundant, you choose to go
• 4:13
  into the holiday season feeling. Happy about everything.
• 4:16
  You choose to go into it and say, I'm going to finish up this
• 4:20
  year in the most abundant wonderful state of mind that I
• 4:23
  can therefore I will start 2023 off in the most abundant
• 4:28
  wonderful state of mind that I can.
• 4:31
  I'm not going to allow allow myself to attract things that I
• 4:34
  don't want by being in the wrong energy and nobody can make me
• 4:38
  happy. No thing can make me happy?
• 4:42
  It's me that makes me happy. I am the key.
• 4:44
  I am the one that holds this vision of it.
• 4:48
  So if we go back to this place of the little quote and we say
• 4:53
  to ourselves, you know, do I really want to be waiting for
• 4:58
  Sunshine in a cave facing north? It doesn't sound very pleasant,
• 5:03
  but we spend so much time in a cave waiting for Sunshine facing
• 5:08
  north and it's asinine, and we need to stop it.
• 5:12
  We need to call ourselves out on our silly Behavior.
• 5:14
  So today, if you're in a cave facing north waiting for
• 5:17
  Sunshine, stop it. Get out of the cave, turn around
• 5:21
  walk the other way. Go outside and decide on your
• 5:25
  way. While you're on that walk to be
• 5:27
  happy, no matter what. I hope you guys have a blessed
• 5:30
  day and I will see you You tomorrow.
• 5:32
  Bye.
