  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So today there is a really awesome quote from the
• 0:35
  wonderful, amazing poet Rumi. He was a Sufi poet and just an
• 0:42
  unbelievable writer. If you've ever read any of his
• 0:45
  stuff before, it's just always filled with love and mind
• 0:48
  blowing. Today's quote.
• 0:50
  If everything around you seems dark, look again.
• 0:53
  You may be the light. And I really want to encourage
• 0:57
  you to take this in and think about it.
• 0:59
  If everything seems dark, look around.
• 1:02
  You may be the light. And to me that is what our
• 1:06
  purpose is in life, in the great workings of the universe and all
• 1:12
  that has been created. Each of us is a light.
• 1:17
  And some of us are a bright white light.
• 1:19
  Some of us are a bright yellow light.
• 1:21
  Some of us are a bright blue light or any color that you
• 1:25
  desire to be. But each of us has a light that
• 1:27
  we show up with what you do with it.
• 1:30
  How you work it but you decide is important for you is how
• 1:36
  bright or dim that light is. But it's always a work in
• 1:40
  progress and. I think that we get so lost in
• 1:44
  looking at other people's light that we forget that we're
• 1:47
  shining and we forget that we have just brand tremendous
• 1:52
  value. To bring to people we forget
• 1:56
  that we can shine our light. We forget that we can turn it up
• 1:59
  and turn it down. We forget that this is not an
• 2:03
  option for us. We are part of the light.
• 2:06
  The universe is constant, pure potential, energy.
• 2:09
  Everything that created it, everything that's here is all
• 2:12
  connected. You cannot disconnect yourself.
• 2:15
  You might dim your light way down low because of your
• 2:18
  thoughts, your emotions, your focus, your actions, but you're
• 2:22
  never going to. Be extinguished.
• 2:24
  I mean, in my world, even when you pass away, your body is done
• 2:29
  and gone. Your light is still there.
• 2:31
  Your light is just now free to travel in any energetic form
• 2:34
  that it chooses. And I think that when you stop
• 2:39
  and you pause and you think about turning your light on,
• 2:42
  when you think about turning the switch, dialing it up, making
• 2:47
  sure that you are lighting up someone's world, it changes how
• 2:51
  you show up. It also changes when you
• 2:54
  recognize that your light might be brighter than someone else's,
• 2:59
  and therefore they look at your light and they become scared of
• 3:02
  how bright your light is. Or you look at someone and you
• 3:05
  just can't imagine the things that are coming out of their
• 3:10
  mouth and their actions or what they're doing and you think, why
• 3:13
  are they so awful? But then you realize, ah wait,
• 3:16
  your light is really low. You're just not tuned in and
• 3:19
  tapped on to what? What's happening here?
• 3:22
  So. It is a such a powerful
• 3:27
  statement that he makes. You may be the light.
• 3:31
  You are always the light. You just have to own it.
• 3:34
  You have to know it. You have to act into it.
• 3:37
  You know. It's one thing that I personally
• 3:39
  have always been. You know, working through in my
• 3:42
  own life, when I started in the business of self development, I
• 3:46
  used to say, oh, I'm behind the scenes.
• 3:48
  I like to be behind the scenes, I like to be behind the scenes.
• 3:51
  Well, behind the scenes person isn't doing a podcast from a
• 3:54
  chicken coop. I worked with people.
• 3:57
  I had to sign nondisclosure agreements on non compete
• 4:01
  clauses. I won't talk about them.
• 4:02
  I won't do this. I won't do that.
• 4:04
  And I was. I was comfortable with it.
• 4:07
  And then at one point in time, I realized when I wrote the bus
• 4:10
  book. But you know what?
• 4:11
  I have something that can help people, and I've got to be brave
• 4:14
  enough to turn that light switch on and turn it up so that I can
• 4:19
  reach people and make them feel vital and important.
• 4:22
  And when I did that and I started to put put that out
• 4:25
  there, everything changed and I got way happier.
• 4:29
  I got way more. I don't know.
• 4:32
  I just got more connected to who I was and therefore I could
• 4:37
  become. Much more of myself in the
• 4:40
  process, so I'm going to encourage you greatly to play
• 4:45
  with this. Get yourself clear on who you
• 4:48
  want to be. Get yourself clear on turning
• 4:50
  that light up. Because we all deserve to go out
• 4:53
  there and shine our light. We all deserve to have.
• 4:57
  The beacon out there so that others can find us because
• 5:00
  they're going to interact with us.
• 5:02
  They're going to make our life step up to the new level and
• 5:05
  help us develop ourselves. And so in the purpose of turning
• 5:08
  your light on for yourself, you're also helping other people
• 5:11
  and being a shining example. And if there's one thing that
• 5:15
  motivates me, it's always that to say, I can be a better
• 5:19
  example for people. I can turn my light on, I can
• 5:21
  share with them. I can show them.
• 5:23
  I can send them love and grace and all the things that they
• 5:26
  need. In order to be at that level
• 5:29
  that they really want to be at. So I'm going to encourage you
• 5:32
  guys to do the same thing. I hope you have a super blessed
• 5:36
  day. I hope your light is on bright.
• 5:38
  I hope you get to the place that you feel like it's just you're a
• 5:42
  beacon today and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:45
  Bye.
