• 0:29
  Good morning from the Chicken Coop.
• 0:31
  So today I want to talk to you about finding the purpose in the
• 0:35
  pain. This is something that you can
• 0:39
  take across the board with you, whether it's a pain of your body
• 0:43
  being sore. When you're working out, the
• 0:45
  pain of trying to learn something new and struggling
• 0:47
  with it, the pain of dealing with people situations, all
• 0:52
  these different things that we can deem painful in our life.
• 0:55
  When this shows up, asking yourself the question, what is
• 0:59
  the purpose in the pain? Really gives us a scope of being
• 1:03
  able to say there is more to this than meets the eye in this
• 1:07
  moment because our inclination our immediate inclination is to
• 1:12
  always ask the question. Why is this happening to me?
• 1:15
  Why is this happening to me? And I've heard people many times
• 1:19
  in my life say, oh well, it's not happening to you.
• 1:22
  It's happening for you. And that's really frustrating
• 1:24
  when someone says that to you and you're not feeling good
• 1:26
  about something, it's just a it's just a very frustrating
• 1:28
  thing to hear, but Sometimes asking the question, what is the
• 1:33
  purpose in it? What is the purpose in the pain?
• 1:36
  What is the purpose? I can learn from something is
• 1:41
  much more powerful and I for myself, I know that this is
• 1:47
  always made a tremendous difference to me when I take
• 1:49
  that on and I start to focus on it in that direction because
• 1:54
  there is purpose in things and we just have to make a
• 1:58
  distinction of looking for it. It's kind of like Honing in your
• 2:03
  focus. When you walk into your pantry
• 2:05
  or you going to a cabinet and you're looking for something
• 2:08
  instead of just walking in and gazing over, if you have a
• 2:10
  specific purpose and you're looking for something specific,
• 2:13
  you start to see something specific as opposed to when
• 2:16
  you're just gazing, you're not actually seeing the specifics
• 2:19
  pieces so it's kind of like think of it as if I put my
• 2:24
  question and my attention on, what is the purpose in this
• 2:28
  pain? You're going to get a much
• 2:30
  better answer. Sir for yourself, you're going
• 2:31
  to start to find it and it's not to torture.
• 2:34
  You lessons, come in so many different sizes, shapes and just
• 2:40
  awareness has. And if there's one thing that I
• 2:43
  have learned in my life, can always connect, the dots,
• 2:46
  immediately, sometimes things take time to marinate and to
• 2:52
  show up. And to really give Clarity to
• 2:54
  something, you know, I I will use this as an example often
• 2:59
  just because it was such a Powerful thing to me when I lost
• 3:03
  my dad, I was young and I lost my dad.
• 3:06
  I mean, it wasn't so young wasn't I was in my twenties
• 3:08
  early 20s but that was Monumental for me and I couldn't
• 3:13
  understand because he was my person and I couldn't understand
• 3:17
  how that happened. I couldn't understand.
• 3:19
  You know, he was so young, he was 57, how could that possibly
• 3:23
  be the case? And I just couldn't fathom it.
• 3:28
  And I kept thinking and thinking and thinking, Thinking you know,
• 3:31
  what was the purpose for taking somebody?
• 3:33
  That was so good. That was such a vital part of my
• 3:36
  life and it just didn't make any sense, but I had to let it go
• 3:42
  and I had to move on because that's what life is about,
• 3:45
  right? You have to never stop missing
• 3:47
  him. Still miss him every single day,
• 3:50
  but I have to move on. I can't I can't dwell in that
• 3:54
  moment. I have to dwell in other
• 3:55
  moments. Moving forward and just letting
• 4:00
  it be all of a sudden I started to realize if I had still had
• 4:05
  him in my life, I would have never developed the skills that
• 4:10
  I have that. I'm using for all of you right
• 4:12
  now because I wouldn't have gone into coaching.
• 4:14
  I wouldn't have gone into self-development.
• 4:16
  I wouldn't have done those things.
• 4:17
  I would have stayed doing the things that I had always done
• 4:20
  and remaining in marketing remaining in doing real estate
• 4:24
  things with him. I would never have Run into this
• 4:28
  in the way that I did and I certainly would have never taken
• 4:31
  off and traveled. The world working with Tony
• 4:33
  Robbins. I just wouldn't have done it.
• 4:35
  I just did not make any sense because I didn't like leaving
• 4:38
  him. I wanted to always be like, with
• 4:42
  my family. He was my person and it was too
• 4:45
  hard. And if he had chosen to stick
• 4:49
  around, if his life had gone longer, if his soul had decided
• 4:52
  to stay longer for whatever reason, it didn't I just would
• 4:57
  not have become the person that I am so I can sit back and I can
• 5:01
  think to myself, I found purpose in the pain, I found that this
• 5:06
  is my soul's work and without having that kind of love from
• 5:10
  him without having that kind of gifts the gift.
• 5:14
  I got from him, I could not have brought these gifts that I have
• 5:18
  and give to all of you and give to myself and give to my family
• 5:22
  and and everybody else. So sometimes it takes a while to
• 5:26
  connect those Those dots be patient, ask the right questions
• 5:30
  and look and I promise you at some point, you will be able to
• 5:33
  connect the dots in one way, shape or form.
• 5:36
  I hope this is helpful. I hope you guys have a very
• 5:39
  blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow morning.
• 5:41
  Bye.
