  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So are you waiting for success?
• 0:34
  Simple question, right? Are you waiting for success?
• 0:37
  Oh, but is it a simple question or is it just such a deep
• 0:40
  question? It drives us crazy?
• 0:42
  Are you waiting for success to just somehow show up?
• 0:46
  Are you just sitting there and saying, you know, I'm just going
• 0:49
  to see what happens? I'm just going to throw myself
• 0:53
  out there and see what happens. Well, it's OK to throw yourself
• 0:57
  out there and see what happens, but you better make sure you're
• 0:59
  still doing the things that bring about success, whether
• 1:03
  it's mentally or it's physically.
• 1:05
  Meaning you're actually doing actions to bring you success, or
• 1:09
  you are actually focusing your energy on success and you're
• 1:14
  bringing yourself that piece of the pie that says, hey, I have
• 1:18
  to energetically align with success.
• 1:20
  So it doesn't just fall into your lap, my friends.
• 1:24
  It doesn't, I promise you. There have been times when I
• 1:27
  thought I was working really hard, but it was definitely not
• 1:30
  as hard as I could have worked to make something happen because
• 1:33
  I was missing a piece of the puzzle where energetically I
• 1:36
  wasn't aligned with it. So there are two levels of
• 1:39
  success. There are what there's what you
• 1:41
  do and there's the energy that you put off.
• 1:45
  And so if you're missing a piece of that, it's definitely
• 1:49
  affecting you, I can promise you that.
• 1:52
  So when someone says, well, I'm just waiting for success, I I
• 1:56
  heard that this week. I'm waiting for success.
• 1:58
  And I said, well, you are probably going to be waiting a
• 2:01
  long time because that does not compute in our existence.
• 2:07
  It just does not. People will say, well, he got
• 2:09
  lucky or she got lucky. And the question is not about
• 2:13
  luck the way we think of it. The question is, did you put
• 2:16
  yourself in the right position to make things happen?
• 2:19
  And did you also put yourself energetically in the right place
• 2:23
  to make things happen? You know, it's really funny and
• 2:26
  you guys have heard me talk about this before, but I the
• 2:30
  girls are definitely the chillest group of chickens that
• 2:34
  I have ever seen. And I've been around a lot of
• 2:36
  chickens. I've been around a lot of spoken
• 2:39
  to a lot of people who have chickens, and my chickens are
• 2:42
  chill and I think that the reason that they are so chill is
• 2:45
  because we set them up that way. We and we also have a a pattern
• 2:50
  of being very chill with them. We don't, we're not uptight with
• 2:54
  them. We don't.
• 2:56
  We expect them to be calm. We expect them to get along with
• 2:59
  each other. We expect them to be good and to
• 3:01
  be safe and all of that. And guess what they do, They
• 3:05
  just show up. They're great when it comes to
• 3:07
  this stuff. And that's energy.
• 3:10
  We do a lot of talking about energy here, and there's a
• 3:13
  reason for it. It's because it's real.
• 3:15
  And when it comes to success in whatever you're doing, you have
• 3:18
  to allow yourself the ability to say yes, I expect this to be
• 3:23
  very successful. Someone says, well, what if
• 3:25
  you're going to be disappointed, OK, I don't have that wiring.
• 3:29
  If something goes on and says, hey, it's not working, then we
• 3:32
  make an adjustment and we fix what we're doing.
• 3:35
  But first and foremost, and the most important aspect of all of
• 3:38
  this is there is no reason at all at all to sit there and say,
• 3:43
  I'm waiting for success, I'm waiting for it.
• 3:46
  I'm just going to sit here and wait.
• 3:48
  Yeah, you know, sitting on the sidelines never gets you
• 3:51
  anywhere. And it's that you know that all
• 3:54
  that quote about what are you the man in the arena?
• 3:58
  Are you in the The one in the arena is the one who does it.
• 4:01
  And I've used that quote before to talk about it.
• 4:04
  But this is interesting because when someone says I'm waiting
• 4:07
  for success to show up, what does that really tell you?
• 4:10
  So if you're in the position of waiting for success, what does
• 4:13
  that tell you? Does it mean that you're just
• 4:16
  being a loser or lazy? No.
• 4:17
  It could actually mean something very different.
• 4:20
  It could mean that you just don't.
• 4:22
  You're not aligned with what you're doing and you just don't.
• 4:25
  You don't have the the heart to pour into it because it's not
• 4:27
  what you really want. So you have to go back and ask
• 4:31
  yourself, why am I waiting? What is the reason I'm in this
• 4:34
  waiting position? What?
• 4:36
  What is that going to give to me?
• 4:38
  What is what is waiting giving to me?
• 4:40
  Is it just buying me more time, or is it actually teaching me
• 4:43
  something? You've got to know.
• 4:45
  You've got to really dig into that for yourself and figure
• 4:48
  that piece out. Because it there's some clue in
• 4:51
  that that says if I'm waiting, maybe it's not where I really
• 4:55
  want to be or maybe it's not what I really want to do.
• 4:58
  Or maybe it's just not aligned with who I am now.
• 5:02
  And it was something that I wanted at one point in time, but
• 5:04
  now I don't. But there is a clue in there, my
• 5:06
  friends. And I'm going to tell you to go
• 5:08
  dig it up. Because if you're just sitting
• 5:11
  and waiting for it to happen and you might come back and say,
• 5:13
  well, you know what, I think I'm just lazy.
• 5:15
  And I will say, yeah, but that comes from a place of not being
• 5:20
  aligned with what you really want to do.
• 5:22
  And when someone says they're just lazy, I always take it as,
• 5:26
  yeah, there's more to that message than meets the eye.
• 5:29
  So keep that in mind too, because I'm.
• 5:32
  I promise you, it's not just that you're lazy.
• 5:35
  There's a message in that. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:38
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:41
  Bye.
