• 0:22
  Along with all her chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:29
  Good morning from the chicken. A coupe, you know, we have lots
• 0:32
  of little chicks running around here right now while they're
• 0:34
  kind of like teenagers now. I think maybe like tweens let's
• 0:39
  say they are, they're probably tweens right now but we've got a
• 0:41
  chicken sitting on a bunch of other eggs and that got me
• 0:44
  thinking about how eggs are like ideas, right?
• 0:48
  Their intentions, you know, she decides she wants to sit on some
• 0:52
  eggs and all of a sudden those intentions in those eggs are
• 0:56
  sitting in there and they're percolating, they're becoming
• 0:59
  something. And it made me realize how many
• 1:03
  eggs are we as human sitting on that.
• 1:06
  We don't actually pay attention to and really like make them
• 1:12
  happen because this is what's tricky about eggs for people
• 1:16
  that don't know takes 21 days for an egg to hatch, like honest
• 1:20
  to God. It's 21 days from the time.
• 1:23
  She sits on it till the time it stops.
• 1:25
  If she sits on them consistently for 21 days.
• 1:29
  It has to have that number. So what's funny about it is you
• 1:33
  have some new mom chickens who just don't focus and they get up
• 1:37
  and they forget what they're doing and they're they all get
• 1:39
  up and walk off for a little while.
• 1:41
  But you've got to make it the biggest number of your hours in
• 1:43
  a day to see the eggs hatch. And I think myself, gosh, this
• 1:47
  is so much like ideas, this is just exactly what happens with
• 1:51
  ideas. You know, we have all these
• 1:54
  ideas, IE these little eggs and we put them in our nest in our
• 2:00
  head. And then we kind of sit on them
• 2:03
  but we don't actualize them, we don't bring them into fruition,
• 2:06
  we don't put the consistent effort in to make them happen so
• 2:11
  we don't end up with anything hatching and then we get
• 2:13
  frustrated and we go well, these eggs suck and we want to throw
• 2:17
  them out but it's not that's not how it works.
• 2:20
  It's not that's not the issue. The issue is we haven't put the
• 2:25
  effort in. So here on the farm we have one
• 2:29
  particular chicken. I I've got 38 hens and this one
• 2:34
  particular hand, you've heard me talk about her before.
• 2:36
  Winnie is an outstanding mom, she just is the best mom, the
• 2:41
  big, the tween group that I was just talking about our from her,
• 2:44
  she doesn't lose babies. She's very good with them.
• 2:47
  She nurtures them, she teaches them how to scratch and hunt and
• 2:51
  she raises really awesome. Hens, and we have a group of we
• 2:55
  call them the gray girls. The gray girls are full grown
• 2:57
  now and they are some of the best hunters.
• 3:00
  And they are some of the best chickens on the farm.
• 3:05
  They are so smart. They crack me up and when he
• 3:09
  actually adopted them because I walked into Tractor Supply and
• 3:12
  saw a bunch of them there by themselves, brought them home
• 3:15
  had a whole conversation with her about it because they
• 3:18
  weren't in eggs and she adopted them that's a story for another
• 3:22
  day. But the point is, she raised
• 3:25
  them with this absolute ability to go out.
• 3:30
  Out and do everything because she's consistent and then she
• 3:34
  has all these other ones that she's hatched out.
• 3:37
  And this latest group of babies that she hatched out, I was
• 3:40
  joking around and I said it was like they went to a self
• 3:42
  development seminar because they are so smart, so big.
• 3:46
  So independent, so fast, it was she's gotten so good at it, that
• 3:51
  they are just on point. And it's just drilling to watch
• 3:55
  it because she pours the effort it now, I've got Marilyn Monroe.
• 4:00
  Who's a chick that I hatched out a couple years ago.
• 4:03
  She's full grown down and she is gone Broody and she wants to sit
• 4:07
  on eggs. So we decided to let her do it
• 4:10
  and we'll see what kind of a mom.
• 4:12
  She is, but again, consistency matters.
• 4:14
  So she's been consistent and we'll see how it goes.
• 4:18
  Now this bring this all of this back to your own ideas.
• 4:23
  What eggs are you sitting on what ones have?
• 4:25
  You not decided that you're going to sit on consistently for
• 4:29
  21 days? I mean, she only He has to do it
• 4:31
  for 21 days. Sure.
• 4:32
  We might have to do it a lot. Longer bringing this podcast to
• 4:36
  you guys took a lot longer than 21 days but now I mean we are
• 4:41
  365 days that too as of tomorrow that we will be doing this and
• 4:47
  so holy cow it's crazy when you think about that and I just want
• 4:53
  to I just want to point out to you guys this whole entire
• 4:58
  process of whatever your Years are they're all going to be
• 5:02
  different times. It's not going to be, you know
• 5:04
  it. Oh, I'll have it done in 20 days
• 5:06
  or 21 days or 75 days whatever it might be.
• 5:10
  It's about the consistency. It takes to get you there but
• 5:14
  it's also about you being willing to realize that your
• 5:19
  ideas are those little eggs and you have to be willing to put
• 5:23
  the effort into them. Otherwise, they will not come to
• 5:27
  fruition, they will not hatch, and you will just sit there with
• 5:30
  a bunch. Bunch of fun actually lized
• 5:32
  ideas completely frustrated saying I don't understand what's
• 5:36
  happening because there's no effort being made.
• 5:39
  So stop, think about it, look at your ideas.
• 5:42
  See what eggs am I sitting on and which ones in my like, so,
• 5:45
  inconsistent with, they're never going to hatch.
• 5:48
  It's a great exercise. Just to give yourself a really
• 5:51
  high state of awareness. And for me, I love the metaphor.
• 5:55
  All right, my friends. I hope you have a blessed day
• 5:57
  and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
• 5:30
