• 0:23
  chickens. Hey everybody.
• 0:29
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, so today we are talking about happiness you know, it has
• 0:34
  been said that there are no happier people on this planet
• 0:37
  than those that decide to be happy.
• 0:40
  And I think that that's probably the most spot-on statement that
• 0:44
  we can ever have, because happiness cannot be conditioned
• 0:49
  to what's going on outside. Sure, there are times when
• 0:52
  you're like, I'm so happy, I got the promotion, I'm so happy that
• 0:55
  I have enough money for whatever I want to do or however you want
• 0:59
  to focus on it. But Those conditions are just
• 1:03
  conditions that take place outside of you and your reaction
• 1:07
  to them can be absolutely -1 if you're not excited about it like
• 1:13
  let's say you don't want the promotion at work you're up for
• 1:16
  a promotion at work but you're like I don't want the
• 1:18
  responsibility. I just had somebody go through
• 1:20
  this and they were like, I'm not sure I really want to do this.
• 1:24
  You know, I'm up for it and then they got it and they were not
• 1:26
  happy. So think about that, you know,
• 1:28
  it wasn't the condition. It was Was what it meant to you.
• 1:32
  And one of the things that I recognize about happiness, the
• 1:37
  more I do, what I do, the more I work on it.
• 1:40
  Myself happiness is a choice that you make moment-to-moment
• 1:44
  happiness is a choice. You make before any of the
• 1:47
  moments of the day even start happiness is something that you
• 1:50
  hardwire into yourself. It is not an accident people,
• 1:54
  it's not an accident. Those who walk around in
• 1:58
  ignorant Bliss. So to say, Far less likely to
• 2:02
  have heart attacks and strokes and all other diseases.
• 2:05
  All the autoimmune diseases, I've listened to a wreck spurt
• 2:09
  recently who was talking about how autoimmune has it.
• 2:12
  He really believes it autoimmune has a foothold in stress and
• 2:18
  that it of course, they're going to be other conditions that show
• 2:21
  up genetically and whatnot. But his premise is that the
• 2:25
  preponderance of people that suffer autoimmune have
• 2:29
  deep-seated Stress disorders where this is where it's coming
• 2:34
  from. And there is their focus on
• 2:36
  feeling that way their focus on feeling crappy, their focus on.
• 2:42
  You know, the disease itself is causing a huge part of the
• 2:44
  problem. Now is his some of his stuff
• 2:46
  controversial probably. But guess what?
• 2:49
  I really see this in my work where you know conditions will
• 2:53
  not change externally, but someone's intention and focus
• 2:59
  will change and all of a sudden Guess what they're happier.
• 3:02
  They're just not as stressed, and when you're not as stressed
• 3:06
  magic happens in your life when you're not having constant
• 3:09
  resistance. Magic takes place.
• 3:12
  So, for me, one of the most important things that I can ever
• 3:15
  ever, ever teach you guys, is that that, that decidedly strong
• 3:21
  choice to say, I choose to be happy.
• 3:24
  I choose to be happy, not, I will be happy, I choose to be
• 3:29
  happy. I am happy.
• 3:31
  Happy and you focus on that and you don't let it go.
• 3:35
  There are constant constant, constant moments where you could
• 3:40
  choose to be frustrated annoyed throughout the day you could
• 3:44
  get, you know, I've been out here shooting the podcast before
• 3:47
  and my neighbor's dogs are barking.
• 3:49
  I've been out here where you know somebody decides to turn on
• 3:53
  a machine early in the morning and it's all I can hear.
• 3:56
  Could I get aggravated with that?
• 3:57
  Yes, do I yes. But then I have to remind
• 3:59
  myself. No, we choose to Happy.
• 4:01
  We choose to be happy. We choose to be happy.
• 4:04
  And then I stop and I say, okay I'm going to be happy and I'm
• 4:07
  going to work around it because nobody can take that away from
• 4:10
  you. And remember two things can be
• 4:13
  true. At the same time, multiple
• 4:14
  things can be true at the same time.
• 4:15
  So basically I can be irritated with somebody's dog barking, but
• 4:20
  I can still be happy at my core and not allow it to stay with me
• 4:24
  all day and have a level of frustration.
• 4:26
  That sends me right through the roof.
• 4:28
  Every single thing we do is about Choice.
• 4:30
  Every Eagle thing we do is about that thoughtful, pause, even
• 4:35
  though it might be a nanosecond to fix ourselves and get
• 4:38
  ourselves back on track. That's what's so incredibly cool
• 4:42
  about being a human being is because you get to choose, you
• 4:46
  can reset yourself, you don't have to let anybody in.
• 4:50
  So when you have these, you know, paintings of somebody,
• 4:55
  giving you an opinion, you didn't necessarily want or
• 4:58
  things showing up and Like just pissing you off.
• 5:03
  You have to remember. I choose not to let anybody
• 5:06
  steal my joy. I choose not to let anyone steal
• 5:09
  my joy and that is that is a fundamental work that you have
• 5:13
  to put effort into. I promise you.
• 5:15
  You have to put effort into it because if you don't it doesn't
• 5:18
  just automatically happen. It's not magic.
• 5:20
  You actually have to do it. So I'm going to challenge you
• 5:23
  guys today to go out there and say, hey, you know what, what if
• 5:26
  I start this year off in a place of just focusing on being happy,
• 5:30
  no matter. What?
• 5:31
  I'm just going to focus on being happy, not going to let anything
• 5:34
  steal my joy. Sure, I might have a moment of
• 5:36
  being irritated or angry or pissed off, but I am not going
• 5:39
  to stay there and then see how quickly you can recover.
• 5:43
  Keep pulling yourself back from the edge.
• 5:44
  Don't allow yourself to get sucked into the Vortex of
• 5:48
  negativity. That is everywhere.
• 5:50
  You always have the option to do it, but challenge it disagree
• 5:54
  with it and try something different.
• 5:56
  All right, my friends. I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:59
  I hope you have a happy happy day.
• 6:01
  And I will see you later. Bye.
• 6:01
  And I will see you later. Bye.
