  Good morning from the The Coop, so question for you of the day,
• 0:34
  what has to happen for you to thrive, you know.
• 0:37
  This is a big question to ask yourself when you're at certain
• 0:41
  points in your life. Yeah, everybody wants to know
• 0:44
  but I think this is a great question to ask pretty much any
• 0:46
  time. And honestly if someone said to
• 0:49
  me, what's the question that has changed your life?
• 0:52
  The most this would be one of my top three questions because when
• 0:56
  I asked myself this years ago, it turned out that I was not
• 1:00
  thriving. And when I asked my husband, it
• 1:02
  turned out, he was not driving, and it took us from living up
• 1:07
  north to down south and changed our life, turned us into
• 1:11
  Farmers, really made some significant changes.
• 1:14
  All because of this one simple question, what has to happen for
• 1:18
  you to thrive and sometimes when you ask a question, you start to
• 1:23
  really ponder it. And you start to think to
• 1:25
  yourself, holy cow, I am not thriving.
• 1:28
  And, you know, for me, Me. This question was one of those
• 1:32
  that just kind of threw me for a loop because I couldn't imagine
• 1:37
  that I was so far from where I wanted to be.
• 1:40
  But when I asked the question, I was really far from thriving.
• 1:45
  I was existing. I was just getting through the
• 1:47
  day. I was going through the motions
• 1:50
  and that is the worst feeling to think you're just going through
• 1:53
  the motions. You're not thriving at all.
• 1:55
  You're just going through the motions and making it small.
• 2:00
  All, you know, little wins here and there, but not looking at
• 2:05
  like, you know, man, every day I get to thrive every day I get to
• 2:09
  do something unique and different, you know what for me.
• 2:16
  Location was a lot to do with it.
• 2:19
  Because all of the things that I like to do most of the things, I
• 2:23
  like to do are outside, and if you have a plan, you're living
• 2:28
  in a place where you're stuck inside a lot, it limits, what
• 2:31
  you can create, it limits, what you can do?
• 2:33
  And when we ask that question, my son was sitting in a kayak,
• 2:38
  he was, you know, three and a half years old, four years old
• 2:41
  at the time, and he was sitting in a kayak in the middle of our
• 2:43
  living room. Adding he was kayaking, and it
• 2:47
  was snowing outside for the umpteenth time and we both just
• 2:51
  kind of looked at each other. And boy, I just remember that
• 2:55
  moment of thinking, huh? This is a turning point.
• 2:59
  This is one of those times where you can get the information, you
• 3:04
  can collect the information. But are you going to listen to
• 3:07
  the information? And just that little tidbit of
• 3:11
  awareness. You get the information, but are
• 3:14
  you going to listen? To it, is it going to do
• 3:16
  something for you makes all the difference in the world because
• 3:20
  we all get information all the time, but we don't listen to it.
• 3:24
  Whether it's all my knees hurt, you know, or man, I walk and I'm
• 3:29
  out of breath or I am spending my days doing a job, that
• 3:34
  doesn't fulfill me or I just want to spend more time reading,
• 3:37
  but I never take the time to read.
• 3:39
  We are bombarded with information about what we really
• 3:44
  need to thrive. Drive.
• 3:45
  But we don't freaking listen to it.
• 3:47
  We ignore it. We say, I don't have time for
• 3:50
  that. I just don't have time for that.
• 3:52
  And I say you don't have time, not to because nothing is
• 3:57
  promised to us. Nothing is promised to us.
• 3:59
  It is all a crapshoot. It is one of those things where
• 4:03
  you could be here today and gone tomorrow.
• 4:05
  So why are you not willing to ask yourself?
• 4:07
  What has to happen for you to thrive and actually start
• 4:10
  incorporating it? And I'm not saying uproot your
• 4:12
  life and do what I did. Because that A little insane and
• 4:16
  looking back on it. I still say holy cow.
• 4:19
  I don't even know how I pulled that one off and you know it was
• 4:24
  a lot for us to do, but I do remember the Joy on the other
• 4:29
  side of it. I remember how hard it was
• 4:32
  rolling up to it and I remember the Joy on the other side of it,
• 4:35
  but it was worth every bit of it.
• 4:37
  And would I do it again 100,000 times over for what we've
• 4:41
  created? Now, I mean, if I hadn't done
• 4:44
  that I Don't be standing in a chicken coop, in the morning
• 4:48
  with a bunch of chickens doing a podcast for you because they
• 4:53
  were driving force. And you know what's really
• 4:54
  funny? Just tidbit of information there
• 4:57
  when I was asking myself, you know, what has to happen to
• 5:01
  thrive, you know, am I thriving? What do I need to thrive?
• 5:04
  The chickens were huge piece of it for me.
• 5:06
  They say everything I wanted was like, well yeah, I would I would
• 5:10
  move South if I could have chickens.
• 5:12
  I would I would do that. I would have be on a farm.
• 5:14
  I could have chickens because it was such a piece of my childhood
• 5:18
  that I wanted to recreate and have it go.
• 5:21
  A better way than it did go when I lost them all to a dog, wiping
• 5:26
  them all out. So the Thrive piece of your life
• 5:31
  needs to be. Looked at ask yourself what has
• 5:34
  to happen for me to thrive. What do I need?
• 5:36
  What are, what is my definition of thriving.
• 5:38
  Whatever way you need to ask it, figure it out, make it happen.
• 5:42
  Do what you need to do. Because if you're Driving.
• 5:45
  Everything else gets better. Alright?
• 5:47
  My friends, I hope you have a very blessed thriving day and I
• 5:51
  will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
• 5:44
  Driving. Everything else gets better.
• 5:47
  Alright? My friends, I hope you have a
• 5:49
  very blessed thriving day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:52
