  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So let's talk about Duality and what do I mean by that?
• 0:35
  Well, we constantly live in a world of Duality as human beings
• 0:40
  light and dark, North and South. You know, happy and sad.
• 0:46
  It surrounds us constantly and often we want to avoid having
• 0:53
  the dark side of things and of The Duality and we want to just
• 0:57
  stay on the light side of things but without the dark side of
• 1:00
  things, we Appreciate the light side of things and it is it's
• 1:05
  hard when the dark side of things show up, but it's
• 1:09
  necessary for us to be able to transition through it.
• 1:14
  And sometimes we think we should have a stiff upper lip and be
• 1:20
  very, you know, as Margaret Thatcher said, you know, carry
• 1:23
  on everyone stiff-upper-lip, carry on.
• 1:25
  It's the old British tradition of, you know, I have lots of
• 1:29
  friends. Who are British.
• 1:31
  And my whole family is from England and London.
• 1:36
  And that that's always just been the motto of thinking of things,
• 1:41
  just, you know, you can carry on, you can get through
• 1:43
  anything. And, yes, that's true.
• 1:45
  You can. But you don't have to ignore the
• 1:48
  part that makes you so sad. And I think acknowledging things
• 1:52
  when they make you sad again, not necessarily staying in the
• 1:56
  state forever. Please believe that I'm not
• 1:58
  saying that what I'm saying is The emotion is necessary because
• 2:02
  the again, the emotion is trying to teach us something.
• 2:05
  So when we get sad about something, we have to
• 2:08
  acknowledge what it's trying to teach us.
• 2:10
  And sometimes that's the simple thing of just saying, well, this
• 2:14
  is where I am in my life right now and this is just a sad
• 2:17
  moment. Like, for instance, if you spent
• 2:20
  the holiday by yourself, and that's not how you like to spend
• 2:24
  the holiday. But you, you did this year
• 2:26
  because you're in the middle of a huge transition.
• 2:28
  Well, guess what, the light. It is on the other side of that.
• 2:32
  You know, you're just walking through the tunnel towards the
• 2:34
  light. The light is shining bright at
• 2:36
  the end of that tunnel and you are heading through it to get to
• 2:40
  that light. So, is it a longer walk?
• 2:42
  Yes. Is there a lot of Duality during
• 2:45
  this process? Yes.
• 2:46
  Do you need to allow yourself to be sad to recognize one door is
• 2:51
  closing but a window is opening or another door is opening
• 2:55
  absolutely 100%. Yes.
• 2:58
  So I'm going to encourage you You to welcome the Duality.
• 3:03
  I'm going to encourage you to see something amazing where
• 3:07
  there might be nothing amazing right now.
• 3:09
  You know, I got a notice from a friend yesterday that someone,
• 3:16
  that I knew a long time ago had passed away.
• 3:18
  And even though I hadn't seen this person in many, many years,
• 3:23
  it doesn't mean that I didn't have an emotional reaction to
• 3:27
  it. I did.
• 3:29
  And I thought about it all night.
• 3:30
  Long. And I thought about a
• 3:33
  conversation I had with my most beloved cousin and what she was
• 3:39
  going through. And both these things were in my
• 3:42
  head, ruminating all night long before.
• 3:44
  I, you know, came out here this morning to open the chicken coop
• 3:48
  and to look at my beloved little Dottie who's bald as can be
• 3:53
  right now, as she's molting and I thought, wow, I was going to
• 3:56
  talk about Duality and then I look at her, she's in Duality
• 3:59
  right now. She's one of The most beautiful
• 4:01
  chickens that I have. And right now, she looks like
• 4:05
  she's the homeless chicken living on the street and not
• 4:07
  being fed because all of her feathers fell out and most of
• 4:11
  her feathers fellow. She still has some but she looks
• 4:14
  terrible and again, Duality it's everywhere.
• 4:18
  Seasons Duality. The trees are beautiful.
• 4:20
  Sometimes, the treats are with their colored leaves, and then
• 4:24
  they are green, and then they're bald as can be, you know, it's
• 4:28
  just, it's everywhere, around us.
• 4:30
  And we have to make sure that we're we're focused on what
• 4:36
  those meanings brings you us. So when I heard that this person
• 4:39
  had passed away it, even though I hadn't seen this person in
• 4:44
  years, I was I thought about it and I was like, wow, that's so
• 4:47
  sad. He was so young.
• 4:49
  He had so much of a bright future in front of him and yet
• 4:56
  you never know what could happen and this is why, you know, I
• 5:00
  think Those of us in the self-development industry,
• 5:02
  professed constantly that you you have to live to your fullest
• 5:06
  because you just never know. And we genuinely mean that
• 5:10
  because we see it all the time and you have to do the things
• 5:13
  that mean things to you. Whether they're small or big,
• 5:16
  you take your chances, you take your risks, you live with your
• 5:19
  Duality, you put on your big girl pants and your big boy
• 5:22
  pants and you say you know what, screw it, I'm going to give it a
• 5:24
  shot and if it doesn't work out it's okay.
• 5:27
  I took the shot you know, you Miss 100% of the shots you never
• 5:33
  take and you have to take them. So today is about going into the
• 5:37
  end of this year, knowing that wherever you are, you're just in
• 5:41
  Duality, it's going to be a moment, it's going to pass and
• 5:45
  then you're going to find something else because you're
• 5:47
  going to put yourself together. And you're going to say I am
• 5:50
  focused on where I am headed. I'm not going to stay in this
• 5:55
  moment because this moment is just a moment that's it.
• 5:59
  And when you start to frame, Things like, well, that's just
• 6:01
  right now and then they'll be more moment and I will have
• 6:05
  Duality throughout my life. There's something in accepting
• 6:09
  the fact that it's never going to be 100% perfect.
• 6:12
  I mean, I people often say to me, you know, well, your life is
• 6:16
  perfect. No, my life is not perfect.
• 6:18
  My life is fantastic, but it is not perfect.
• 6:22
  We have problems. We have things that go on all
• 6:24
  the time. And you know what?
• 6:27
  We transitions through them, we change our attitudes, we Shift.
• 6:30
  What we're doing. We make smart decisions and
• 6:34
  that's what it's all about. So it's not about beating
• 6:36
  yourself up. It's not about putting yourself
• 6:38
  down. It's not about believing.
• 6:40
  You can't do something. It's about changing your
• 6:42
  perspective. So hopefully today, you will see
• 6:46
  the other side of the Duality. You'll see the light at the end
• 6:49
  of your tunnel. You'll appreciate the people
• 6:50
  around you while they're here. You'll give everybody a hug and
• 6:53
  you'll know that you are transitioning to something
• 6:56
  extraordinary. As long as you envisioned, that
• 6:59
  extraordinary piece. If you're headed in that
• 7:01
  direction. So I hope you guys have a very
• 7:04
  blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 7:06
  Bye.
