• 0:15

• 0:18
  thinking, and just bring some. Joy into the world.
• 0:21
  So welcome to the coop and let's start your day off in a
• 0:24
  fantastic way, hey? Everybody, good morning from the
• 0:29
  chicken coop. Yes, all the girls are out here
• 0:32
  arguing and having a great time eating breakfast platters.
• 0:37
  So how many of you remember Bob Ross?
• 0:39
  He the painter from PBS? Well, he was mostly on PBS, but
• 0:44
  he wasn't just that, but he was the most gentle person.
• 0:51
  And when you, if you've ever watched a documentary on him,
• 0:53
  it's not just that he appeared to be a gentle person.
• 0:56
  He really was a gentle person. And sadly, he got taken
• 0:59
  advantage of in his life by the people who helped him get to
• 1:04
  where he was being seen all the time.
• 1:07
  That's not what we're here to talk about today.
• 1:09
  We're here to talk about Bob Ross and how he taught people
• 1:13
  his the way he viewed the world, because how you view the world
• 1:16
  is everything. So he himself appeared to be
• 1:21
  very low key. He came across and most of the
• 1:26
  time even behind the scenes that was the case, although he was
• 1:29
  meticulous, those paintings that you saw that he could do in 30
• 1:33
  minutes, he really practice practiced all of that way ahead
• 1:37
  of time. He did it over and over.
• 1:39
  He made sure he had it nailed down before he showed anybody
• 1:42
  else how to do it. So one could say that if you
• 1:46
  took the, the point of view of this, that he's not really
• 1:50
  telling us the truth about how long it takes.
• 1:52
  No, he's showing you how long it takes to do it when he finally
• 1:56
  had it done. But his process leading up to
• 1:58
  that was he wanted to learn, learn, learn, learn, learn,
• 2:01
  practice, practice, practice, practice.
• 2:02
  And then he would show you how to do it.
• 2:04
  So he wasn't in the fact wasting anyone's time in the process of
• 2:08
  doing it. He was just, you know, showing
• 2:10
  you the end of how to do it, which I kind of, I completely
• 2:14
  understand and I actually love because he took all the risk on
• 2:17
  himself first and then shared it with all of us, which was really
• 2:22
  cool. And I used to watch him all the
• 2:24
  time with my dad. And I don't know why my dad was
• 2:28
  not someone who painted like that, but I think it was just
• 2:31
  the fact that he could lie on the couch, decompress and watch
• 2:35
  this guy do something that at that time, nobody else was
• 2:38
  really doing. It was just like a very like,
• 2:40
  wow, look at this. So really loved that.
• 2:43
  Really, really loved that part, that part and how he did what he
• 2:47
  did. And during that, he would say
• 2:50
  things like if if a drop of paint went somewhere or
• 2:54
  something happened unexpected, he would say, oh, that's a happy
• 2:58
  accident. And he would explain nothing's
• 3:00
  wrong. Don't get upset about it.
• 3:02
  If you put something where you don't like it, let's make it a
• 3:04
  happy accident. Let's do this.
• 3:06
  And I have always carried that in my head, like, oh, oh, that's
• 3:11
  kind of cool. So I allow for that.
• 3:14
  I learned that very early on in my life to allow for those happy
• 3:17
  accidents. And this morning as I was
• 3:20
  walking out here and I was like, oh, I wonder what I'm going to
• 3:23
  talk about today because I had a couple things I could have
• 3:25
  talked about. I hadn't decided yet.
• 3:27
  I I have, I come out here, you know, early and I have on
• 3:31
  leggings. Now not all my leggings have the
• 3:34
  side pocket or a pocket to hold my phone.
• 3:37
  So I went as often. I stick it in my waistband and I
• 3:41
  stuck it in my waistband this morning.
• 3:43
  The phone fell all the way down inside the the leggings to my
• 3:49
  knee and and it stopped and I went huh, And I looked and I
• 3:54
  started walking around to see if it would fall out.
• 3:56
  Now it's like at my knee and my leggings end at like halfway up
• 4:02
  my calf and I'm walking and it's not coming out.
• 4:05
  And I was like happy accident. And the second I said it, I was
• 4:10
  like, oh wow, like I I see that. I can see how I just did that
• 4:15
  and that's so unbelievable that I'm still maintaining that in my
• 4:19
  head. Happy accident.
• 4:21
  Like I do it. I hear myself say it all the
• 4:23
  time, but I never actually paid attention to it.
• 4:25
  And because it happened right when I was coming out to tell to
• 4:28
  do the podcast and tell you guys good morning, I was like, I have
• 4:32
  to share that. So granted, I didn't intend for
• 4:36
  my phone to be put all the way down my leggings to my knee, but
• 4:41
  it was a happy accident because then I could walk out here and
• 4:44
  it wasn't slipping in my waistband and falling out on the
• 4:47
  ground in the water. And I've that's happened.
• 4:50
  I can't tell you how many countless times.
• 4:52
  Why do I keep having the same pair of pants that I put it on
• 4:55
  with that does that don't have the pocket?
• 4:57
  Because I like the pants otherwise.
• 4:59
  And it's just ridiculous how our brains work like we'll do
• 5:02
  something and we know it's going to happen, but we do it anyway.
• 5:04
  So today I I had that moment and I wanted to share it because I
• 5:09
  want other people to to know you're surrounded by these
• 5:12
  little happy accidents, things that don't go exactly as we
• 5:16
  thought they were, but something else good came out of it or
• 5:19
  something else different that could be good if you allowed
• 5:22
  yourself to have a happy accident.
• 5:24
  So today go find your happy accident my friends, because now
• 5:28
  I know I can carry my phone in my pants at my knee.
• 5:32
  I hope you guys have a blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:35
  Bye.
