  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So day after the storm, we are all good.
• 0:34
  Our power is back on, we are very blessed to be in an area
• 0:38
  that was not hit as hard as our friends in Florida who we are
• 0:42
  just consistently checking on and making sure that we are
• 0:46
  doing anything we can for them, and especially sending them all
• 0:50
  the thoughts and prayers and love and hope that we can
• 0:53
  because the storm was ugly, nasty, and nothing good about
• 0:58
  it. So today, I want to talk to you
• 1:02
  guys a little bit about how you handle something like this,
• 1:07
  understanding, you know, obviously a lot of people are in
• 1:10
  a state of tragedy right now. And they're thinking gosh, you
• 1:13
  know, I don't even know what to do with myself at this point.
• 1:17
  I don't even know what to believe at this point.
• 1:18
  I can't believe that things are gone.
• 1:21
  I can't believe it happened. We are always in a place of
• 1:25
  having the ability to make a decision about what we want to
• 1:28
  believe about something. And And this this particular
• 1:32
  thing that has happened. There's no Rhyme or Reason to
• 1:35
  it, like we, with our puny human brains cannot fathom.
• 1:39
  The reason that something with such Devastation, something with
• 1:43
  such Force something with, you know, just the utter ability to
• 1:49
  come in and wipe out, so much has happened and when you stop
• 1:54
  and you pause and you start to look at, you know, the
• 1:57
  devastation and you see it, you realize how We need to Humble
• 2:02
  ourselves and realize, we're not so big.
• 2:05
  After all, anything can be gone. In a moment's notice, anything
• 2:09
  can happen. And the word really the worst
• 2:12
  thing that we can do in these situations is get into the
• 2:15
  framework of why, why did this happen?
• 2:18
  Why did this happen? Because there is no answer to
• 2:20
  why questions like this. And I'm not a fan in general of
• 2:24
  why questions? Because our brain tries to make
• 2:26
  them up, make the answer's up rather and when we try to make
• 2:30
  up Answers. What typically ends up happening
• 2:33
  is, it's only from the standpoint that we are currently
• 2:36
  in, which is who's driving that bus in that moment is
• 2:39
  desperation or fear or sadness or overwhelm and they are never
• 2:43
  going to be able to give you resourceful answers about
• 2:45
  things. They're just going to be in the
• 2:46
  answer frame that they are in, which is, I don't understand.
• 2:50
  I'm confused. What did I ever do to deserve
• 2:52
  this? And it's just, it's just too
• 2:56
  painful. It's not going to help you get
• 2:58
  where you want to go. And the He is in these
• 3:01
  situations that we don't have any choice but to break that
• 3:07
  framework out. If we're going to move forward,
• 3:09
  we have to say, I'm going to choose not to stay in this
• 3:12
  mindset because this mindset is toxic and this mindset is not
• 3:16
  going to take me where I want to go.
• 3:18
  And, you know, the reality is no matter how many times you ask
• 3:21
  the question, why, why why, why? Why?
• 3:24
  It's never going to come, you're not going to get a clear answer.
• 3:27
  You're not going to get the instantaneous.
• 3:30
  Why? And you're not going to be able
• 3:32
  to figure it out, whatever your beliefs are.
• 3:34
  You could, you could believe that there is something in this
• 3:38
  for you to learn. You could believe that there's
• 3:41
  nothing in this for you to learn.
• 3:43
  You could believe that you know, this is just random acts of
• 3:47
  nature. You could believe that this was
• 3:49
  all driven by God, whatever your beliefs are and I genuinely mean
• 3:53
  that whatever your beliefs are it all boils down to one.
• 3:57
  Big question. Is that belief helping you move
• 4:01
  forward? Because right now, the most
• 4:04
  important thing to do is to move forward to sit there and say to
• 4:07
  yourself. Do I like where I am?
• 4:09
  No, okay. If I don't like where I am that,
• 4:12
  I have to make a decision to move forward, I have to make a
• 4:15
  decision to think outside of this, because whatever your
• 4:19
  tragedy is, and believe me, there are boatloads of them out
• 4:22
  there, but whatever it is, we have to go to this place of
• 4:26
  saying this isn't serving Me this particular belief that I'm
• 4:30
  in isn't serving me. It's not helping me.
• 4:32
  Get myself straightened out. It's not helping me, move myself
• 4:35
  or my family forward. It's not taking me to the place.
• 4:38
  I ultimately want to be, it's only serving to hold me back, so
• 4:42
  because of that, because that's the case, that's where I am.
• 4:46
  I have to choose to help myself. I have to choose to move myself
• 4:49
  forward. And that's that's like the
• 4:53
  essence of helping yourself. That's the essence of
• 4:56
  self-development Because nobody can get in there and do it, but
• 5:00
  us, we are the ones in charge of what we believe, what we see
• 5:03
  what we focus on. So, as hard as it might be,
• 5:07
  you've got to let go of your wise.
• 5:09
  You've just got to let go of them.
• 5:11
  It doesn't matter why? It doesn't matter why.
• 5:14
  It just matters that you want to move forward, it matters that
• 5:17
  you want to change it just like when you're in a position where
• 5:20
  you're struggling to let go of behaviors that you don't like,
• 5:24
  and you can't let go of them and you say, over and over and over.
• 5:27
  Again, this is an, you know, where I want to be yet, I keep
• 5:31
  repeating the behavior, whether it's skipping out on your, you
• 5:35
  know, your workouts. Whether it's drinking too much
• 5:38
  smoking pot, bad habits of you know not going to the gym
• 5:42
  whatever it might be. It's always the same question.
• 5:45
  It always comes back to is this serving me know if it's not
• 5:50
  serving you, if it's not moving you in the direction you want to
• 5:53
  go, then you need to change the behavior and let go of.
• 5:57
  Of the reasons of why because often people say I don't
• 6:00
  understand why I can't stop drinking doesn't matter.
• 6:03
  Why you can't stop drinking. It matters that you move out of
• 6:07
  the mindset of trying to find the reason and just say, no, I
• 6:11
  am done drinking and that's where the change takes place
• 6:15
  when you make that change in your mind.
• 6:18
  That's where change takes place. So, you've got to let go of your
• 6:21
  wise. You've got to stop worrying
• 6:23
  about what got you there. You've just got to say.
• 6:27
  Nope. I'm going to know where I'm
• 6:29
  going and moving forward. So hopefully this is helpful to
• 6:33
  anybody today who's struggling with this and with anything else
• 6:36
  in their life that they need to focus on like this.
• 6:38
  Because I know God knows we all have to and God knows that we
• 6:41
  all are in a position where it affects everybody, whether
• 6:45
  you're in one of these Devastation zones are not.
• 6:48
  So I hope you guys have a blessed day.
• 6:51
  I'm sending you all my blessings, and please pray for
• 6:53
  our friends in Florida and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 6:56
  Bye.
