• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:29
  coop. So today we're talking about how
• 0:33
  sometimes the wrong choices make us end up with the right
• 0:39
  lessons. They provide us the right
• 0:41
  lessons. So these wrong choices, are they
• 0:43
  really wrong? So I've had quite a few people
• 0:46
  talking to me about this lately where they'll say things like,
• 0:49
  oh, that was the wrong choice. Or I did something and it was
• 0:54
  not right. I shouldn't have done it the way
• 0:55
  I did it. And I I made a choice and I
• 0:58
  stayed with this person or I went to this job or I, you know
• 1:01
  did this interview, whatever it might be, and they feel as
• 1:05
  though it was the wrong choice. But the truth is sometimes those
• 1:09
  wrong choices, and I'm air quoting the word wrong here.
• 1:12
  By the way, I'm not just a choice that.
• 1:17
  Is wrong. It's really something that's the
• 1:19
  bigger thing is. It provides you with the right
• 1:21
  lesson that you needed for life. It provides you with information
• 1:24
  to take you to the next level. It gives you things that you
• 1:27
  would have never gotten without it.
• 1:29
  Often some of the deepest things that have happened to me in my
• 1:32
  life have come out of situations like that and have provided me
• 1:37
  with huge growth spurts. So, you know, do we want to look
• 1:42
  at it as though it was wrong? Do we want to say I've wasted so
• 1:46
  much time? That's a real killer of a
• 1:48
  statement. When we mentioned that, we'll
• 1:50
  say no, I wasted so much time doing this.
• 1:53
  And did you waste time? I don't think anything is a
• 1:56
  waste of time if it brought you to a new level of awareness and
• 1:59
  brought you to a place of being, a higher state of evolution,
• 2:05
  higher you know, place of feeling like your soul is
• 2:09
  evolving. That it's not a wrong choice.
• 2:12
  It's not a bad thing. All it is is, you know, the
• 2:16
  lesson evolving. And sometimes we have to go
• 2:19
  through the pain in order to get to the pleasure, and sometimes
• 2:22
  we have to go through the pain in order to understand our true
• 2:25
  gifts. So when you start thinking about
• 2:28
  this in your own world, in your own sphere of influence, and you
• 2:32
  start thinking about what have you actually labeled as a wrong
• 2:37
  choice? Go back and keep you know,
• 2:40
  search through it and keep a keen eye out for what am I
• 2:44
  labeling as a choice like that. You know, I will tell you this,
• 2:49
  The more time you spend looking backwards and critiquing
• 2:54
  yourself and finding fault with it, all the more time you rob
• 2:59
  yourself at this present moment and moving forward.
• 3:02
  And nothing could be worse for your soul than to stay in the
• 3:06
  past. Because quite honestly, it's
• 3:08
  done. And it's time to move forward.
• 3:10
  It's time to go in a different direction.
• 3:12
  It's time to create something new in your life.
• 3:15
  And it's not time to stay in the past.
• 3:17
  It's definitely time to evolve out of it.
• 3:21
  It's gone. So you take the good, you figure
• 3:24
  out what you learned and you move forward.
• 3:26
  And that being said, one of the most important things that you
• 3:30
  can do for yourself. One of the most important things
• 3:33
  that you can do for yourself is give yourself the freedom of
• 3:37
  forgiveness for thinking that way.
• 3:40
  Not for the actions, but for thinking that way.
• 3:43
  Forgive yourself for thinking the negative thoughts about
• 3:46
  yourself. Forgive yourself for having bad
• 3:48
  dialogue about yourself. Forgive yourself for picking on
• 3:51
  yourself for being that mean boss that you would never work
• 3:56
  for, but yet you do it to yourself.
• 3:59
  It's not about forgiving yourself for the mistake or the
• 4:02
  belief about it, but forgiving yourself about being so hard on
• 4:06
  yourself. Because it's all just a lesson.
• 4:09
  It's all just part of the process.
• 4:11
  It's all part of the education. And when you essentially
• 4:15
  understand and let that piece go, it changes everything in the
• 4:19
  world. It changes everything.
• 4:21
  So today. I'm going to encourage you to go
• 4:24
  back, look, see what's there, see what you can find.
• 4:28
  Dig through it all. Don't.
• 4:29
  Don't mess around spending too much time.
• 4:33
  Just forgive yourself for it all and let it go and realize they
• 4:37
  brought you the huge lessons. Sometimes it's nice too.
• 4:40
  Can you hear this baby chick? Like, right up against the
• 4:42
  phone? She's fascinated by the phone
• 4:43
  right now, watching the little thing as we record.
• 4:48
  Needless to say, sometimes those lessons are the biggest ones
• 4:51
  when you write them down. What did I learn from this?
• 4:53
  The biggest pain point turns out to be the biggest lesson.
• 4:57
  So apparently she agrees. So go look for him.
• 5:00
  Correct yourself, correct your vision of it and allow yourself
• 5:04
  to forgive yourself. I hope you guys have a very,
• 5:07
  very blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:09
  Bye.
