• 0:21

• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:29
  coop. We're talking about the power of
• 0:31
  doubt today. Doubt.
• 0:34
  It's just such an A powerful emotion to be driving your bus.
• 0:39
  And the thoughts around doubt that we uniquely create for
• 0:44
  ourselves. Because we all understand the
• 0:45
  definition of doubt technically, but we all create our own
• 0:49
  version of it, just like we do for every other emotion, every
• 0:51
  other feeling. And when we start spinning doubt
• 0:55
  and we really start living in doubt, we put ourselves in such
• 0:59
  an unbelievably tough position because we start to doubt
• 1:05
  everything. It's not just one thing.
• 1:06
  Once doubt is driving your bus, I want you to really hear this
• 1:10
  once. Doubt or any emotion is driving
• 1:12
  your bus. Every single thing is now
• 1:15
  through that filter. Every single thing is through
• 1:18
  that filter of their driving experience.
• 1:20
  So if doubt is driving and you have this thought in your head
• 1:25
  that oh I don't know if this is going to work, oh, I'm not sure.
• 1:28
  And and you're sitting next to anxiety as we love to talk about
• 1:31
  remember when you're drive who's driving your bus teaches that
• 1:35
  here we are. We've got the main driver and
• 1:37
  we've always got a couple other sidekicks not far away voicing
• 1:40
  their opinions. But when doubt is driving, it's
• 1:43
  a calamity because there are so many little things that show up
• 1:47
  with this now. There are lots of world events
• 1:49
  going on right now, tons of world events going on right now,
• 1:52
  and they cause doubt in our certainty and our safety and our
• 1:56
  abilities to make money and our abilities to have our economies
• 2:00
  working well for us, our personal economies, so to speak.
• 2:03
  All these little things cause massive amounts of doubt to show
• 2:08
  up, and then that triggers even more uncomfortableness, because
• 2:11
  now all of a sudden it's like, well, what am I going to do?
• 2:14
  How am I going to do this? And the more you let doubt drive
• 2:16
  instead of confidence. Because the antithesis of doubt
• 2:22
  really, in my version of this is to have confidence driving.
• 2:26
  And that doesn't mean it's you're stupid.
• 2:27
  It doesn't mean that you let go of all the information you need
• 2:30
  to be successful. What it means is you make a
• 2:32
  decision to say no. I know that when I can put
• 2:36
  confidence in the seat, I believe in myself.
• 2:39
  I have proven myself to be able to do what I've done all these
• 2:43
  years, all this time, these many times.
• 2:46
  So why would I let this, whatever this thing is affect me
• 2:51
  this way? Well, it's really just because
• 2:53
  we have this whole entire make up in our head that says we have
• 2:58
  to be safe, we have to be safe. We're constantly looking for
• 3:02
  safety and when we're not safe, we run like chickens when
• 3:05
  there's a hawk. So some of you may be able to
• 3:07
  hear the crows are going off in the background.
• 3:10
  There's all kinds of noise happening this morning because
• 3:12
  we have got a hawk flying overhead and these girls are
• 3:15
  doubting that that they're going to be safe.
• 3:18
  So they are doing what they do and they are running around
• 3:21
  hiding. And although this hawk is tiny
• 3:25
  and he couldn't pick any of them up, they don't know that.
• 3:27
  They just know the sky may come down and grab you, so you better
• 3:31
  get in here. Lots of them are lined up under
• 3:33
  the shade covers. They are just hiding under
• 3:36
  little things and some of them are standing right next to me
• 3:38
  because they know that Hawk's not coming down next to me.
• 3:41
  Doubt has been induced into their mourning.
• 3:43
  Their normal routine is screwed up, so they have come back.
• 3:47
  Now here's the cool thing about being a chicken as soon as those
• 3:51
  crows stop, as soon as the rooster says it's all OK, they
• 3:55
  will be right back out there and they will have forgotten this
• 3:57
  happened and they won't even let it ruin their day.
• 3:59
  But that's not how humans work. Humans will hang on to it.
• 4:02
  So you have to work really hard at realigning yourself, getting
• 4:08
  that driver to let your certainty Dr. and say no.
• 4:12
  I'm certain I can handle this for myself.
• 4:15
  Put certainty on a mission. Give her something to focus on.
• 4:18
  I know I can do this. I'm certain I'm confident.
• 4:22
  Certainty and confidence work really well together.
• 4:25
  Seems like an unlikely mix, but I have to tell you, it's one of
• 4:29
  my favorite combinations for myself.
• 4:31
  Because I know I can. I can rely on me.
• 4:35
  I can rely on me now. We all say, well, we want to
• 4:38
  have people we can rely on. Yeah, we do.
• 4:40
  But we have to be the first one that we rely on.
• 4:43
  We have to be that person. So it's always taking the
• 4:47
  lessons of having something like doubt show up or something else
• 4:50
  and saying, OK, where is my confidence?
• 4:52
  Where is my certainty so I can give her a mission?
• 4:56
  Move into this with power? No, I've got this covered.
• 5:00
  I know myself. I know how I can handle things.
• 5:04
  Get some creativity sprinkled in there and you're off and
• 5:07
  running. So keep in mind this only can
• 5:10
  happen though, when you recognize the power of who is
• 5:14
  driving, and you've got to be aware of that.
• 5:17
  And doubt is a very powerful driver.
• 5:19
  And there are, like I said, there are lots of things going
• 5:21
  on in the world right now that induced doubt.
• 5:24
  But the future isn't here yet, my friends.
• 5:27
  It's not here. So you get to decide what it
• 5:29
  looks like. You get to decide how you're
• 5:31
  going to imagine it. And then that's ten.
• 5:35
  That tends to be depending upon your beliefs and law of
• 5:39
  attraction, what you get. So imagine something wonderful.
• 5:43
  Stop imagining the not so great stuff.
• 5:46
  OK, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day filled with
• 5:50
  absolute abundance and confidence, and I will see you
• 5:54
  all tomorrow. Bye.
