  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So today we are talking about the fact that it's never too
• 0:34
  late. So, what do I mean by that?
• 0:36
  Well, as we age often times, we start to believe and I'm are
• 0:41
  quoting as I say things about ourselves or believe things
• 0:45
  about what is age-appropriate, or we start to believe things
• 0:49
  that are just not true because someone else had that experience
• 0:54
  happen, you know, when I started this farm with my husband and we
• 0:58
  made this decision that we were coming here I had quite a few of
• 1:02
  my friends and clients. I might add that said to me, why
• 1:07
  would you want to do this at your age?
• 1:10
  Why would you want to go and put all that hard work on your
• 1:14
  plate? I got to tell you.
• 1:16
  The last thing that I was thinking about when we moved
• 1:19
  here and we're talking about starting a farm and doing the
• 1:25
  things that we had always dreamed about doing the last
• 1:29
  thing I ever thought about. About was the fact that my age
• 1:34
  had anything to do with it. I just, I never think of it that
• 1:37
  way. The last thing I think about in
• 1:41
  my head is age years ago. I can remember sitting at one of
• 1:46
  the events that I was working for Tony Robbins and a friend of
• 1:50
  mine was at the table with me and we were in between, everyone
• 1:55
  was in the room, listening to Tony work his magic and she said
• 2:00
  to me, You know, my eyes all of a sudden I can't see well you
• 2:04
  know you get to that age and I just started laughing and she
• 2:07
  said what, you know you get to an age and your eyes start
• 2:09
  working. Stop working the way they should
• 2:11
  and I said, you know, I don't I don't buy into that and she said
• 2:15
  what do you mean? I said yeah I mean okay your
• 2:18
  eyes might stop working. Well, you might need glasses but
• 2:21
  it could be because you're staring at a computer screen
• 2:24
  for, you know, eight hours a day and not just because you have
• 2:29
  eyes going bad because you're old.
• 2:30
  Getting older. I mean yeah, sure it could be
• 2:32
  that, but why do we have to make it be?
• 2:34
  The worst case scenario and say oh it's about aging and let
• 2:37
  alone accept it. And I just live by the premise
• 2:41
  that if I, if I am not willing to accept those conditions and I
• 2:46
  focus on other things that other things occur, I mean, I am in
• 2:51
  better shape now. Then I've ever been in my life.
• 2:55
  And I know that for a fact, because I can walk more, I can
• 3:00
  lift more. I mean, work in a farm is not
• 3:02
  easy, trust me, it's not easy. And being able to say, you know,
• 3:08
  that I can do 20 thousand steps a day every day.
• 3:12
  Like, it doesn't even bother me. There was a time when I was in
• 3:16
  my late 20s, early 30s. And I went to Amsterdam and I
• 3:21
  walked around and walked around and walked around.
• 3:23
  And I got to tell you I I know I was completely beat up for just
• 3:28
  the walking that I was doing and I couldn't believe how out of
• 3:32
  shape I was and I was supposed to be a healthy young person.
• 3:35
  So this whole thing about aging is the very first part of it is
• 3:41
  what are you accepting? I mean, what are you doing to
• 3:43
  yourself at this point in time? What are we doing to ourselves
• 3:46
  thinking that this is what we have to accept.
• 3:48
  It's never too late whatever you want to do you know Louise Hay
• 3:53
  Who was just a an amazing if you never know, have know anything
• 3:57
  about Louise. Hay, she was an amazing woman,
• 3:59
  she created a publishing company called, Hey house.
• 4:01
  She published her own books and she brought in all other authors
• 4:05
  from the spiritual side of the world and the inspirational side
• 4:10
  of the world. And it's a, to this day, it's an
• 4:12
  amazing publishing house for just, those types of things.
• 4:17
  Well, she didn't start that until she was in her late 50s,
• 4:21
  and then she turned it into Something and she lived the last
• 4:25
  35 years of her life in astounding different ways than
• 4:31
  she did, the front part of her life and she was at the point
• 4:35
  when she started it, whether people would have been giving up
• 4:37
  and she just started it off. I think we really have to
• 4:41
  re-examine our values of well, is it too late?
• 4:45
  Have I screwed up? I can't do something now.
• 4:48
  Well, why would I start it now? I mean, it is never too late if
• 4:52
  you have it in your Your heart and you're motivated to do, it's
• 4:55
  never too late. If you're willing to push
• 4:57
  yourself and say hey I want to thank differently.
• 5:00
  I'm starting this whole thing with balance right because I've
• 5:03
  never been a particularly coordinated person and it's
• 5:07
  always been a joke that I'm kind of clumsy.
• 5:10
  So now I'm starting all this. This balance the balance
• 5:13
  exercises. So my son gets this little board
• 5:17
  and it's on like this half balloon.
• 5:19
  I'm not even sure what it's called.
• 5:20
  I'm sure it has a name and I can't think of it right?
• 5:22
  This moment. But you balance on it and it's
• 5:24
  hard as hell to do it. And at first, I couldn't do it
• 5:28
  but I'm like, no, no, no, I'm going to do this.
• 5:30
  So I started balancing on it. Now I'm able to do not only
• 5:34
  balance on it but I can do squats on it now.
• 5:36
  So I am like astoundingly proud of myself.
• 5:40
  I will stand on one foot and I will pick the other foot up and
• 5:43
  I won't hold my other foot and I'll just stand there like a
• 5:46
  pelican for minutes at a time because it's good for your body.
• 5:51
  It's good for your brain to have to Balance you that way.
• 5:54
  And you fight it off. But there are other people who
• 5:56
  would say, okay, you shouldn't even be able to do that at this
• 5:59
  point in time. So if you have it in your heart
• 6:02
  and you really want to do something do it, don't go out
• 6:06
  passive. You know what does that line
• 6:08
  from the Def Leppard song you? It's better to burn out than
• 6:13
  fade away. I 100% 100% believe that and
• 6:18
  there's nothing worse than just fading away and making a
• 6:20
  decision that you're just going to play.
• 6:23
  Lee and math I'll just die without ever having put in the
• 6:28
  effort come on. Our life is a gift from the
• 6:31
  universe from God. And what you do with it is a
• 6:33
  gift back, play it fully push yourself, do the things that you
• 6:37
  want to do. No matter when.
• 6:40
  You think it is go out, be creative and do the things that
• 6:43
  you want to do with yourself because I promised you the
• 6:45
  rewards are huge. I hope this helps you guys and I
• 6:48
  hope that you don't take no from the answer for yourself because
• 6:52
  nothing is more important. Horton than that, piece of
• 6:55
  listening and saying this is what I really want to do, it
• 6:58
  doesn't matter where I am in my life, I can make this happen.
• 7:01
  All right, my friends, I will see you tomorrow and I hope you
• 7:03
  have a very blessed day. Goodbye.
