• 0:22
  Along with all her chickens. Good morning everybody from the
• 0:29
  chicken coop. Hope you guys are starting your
• 0:32
  day off, in a great way. Maybe here some very loud
• 0:36
  clucking in the background this morning because we've got some
• 0:39
  early morning egg layers and they like to announce it being
• 0:42
  very loud. So if it gets loud, I apologize.
• 0:44
  But they are in there laying eggs and they are excited about
• 0:47
  it. There you go.
• 0:49
  That's egg-laying. Sound letting everybody know I
• 0:53
  like that. They like to voice their
• 0:55
  successes, right? So this morning we are going to
• 0:58
  talk about the power of Imagination.
• 1:01
  Possibly. One of my most favorite topics
• 1:05
  to ever talk about because it is in the words of Joseph Murphy
• 1:10
  and you know, I quote him a lot, but he says that this is the
• 1:16
  workshop of God and I love that regardless of your beliefs,
• 1:20
  whether you believe in God, the universe with you don't have
• 1:23
  beliefs in. I any of that you know,
• 1:27
  imagination is really a unique gift that has been given.
• 1:30
  Into humans and it is something that to me.
• 1:35
  I've just dwelled in it for the majority of my life and just
• 1:39
  really as a child, I just always coveted my own ability to have
• 1:46
  such a big imagination. Now, much to the dismay of some
• 1:49
  of my teachers, because, you know, I didn't fall in line
• 1:52
  while I was not a, I was not an inline student and I often was
• 1:56
  in trouble for it, but it was okay because they just didn't
• 1:59
  understand and I was okay with it because I just really loved
• 2:03
  the power of my imagination. Didn't understand.
• 2:05
  It didn't have a clue about it and nobody could help me with
• 2:08
  that because my parents didn't understand what was that.
• 2:11
  Was all about either. Because, you know, they just
• 2:13
  believed what the teachers told them and everything else.
• 2:16
  But I will say the power of my imagination has served me.
• 2:19
  Well, hence me shooting a podcast from a chicken coop,
• 2:24
  which definitely came from the power of what I come up with and
• 2:28
  I love that the thought of it. Being like, just a universal
• 2:33
  creative Workshop, to be able to go to that place.
• 2:35
  So what can your imagination do for you?
• 2:37
  Well, there are plenty of people out there that don't believe
• 2:40
  their creative and I always stop my clients.
• 2:43
  When they say that to me and I say no, you are creative.
• 2:46
  You just have different ways of being created because lots of
• 2:49
  times, people think of this and they say, oh my goodness.
• 2:53
  You know, I don't, I can't imagine anything.
• 2:55
  I can't put anything out there and I'm like, no, you do you
• 2:58
  just do it in a different way. You have different subtleties.
• 3:00
  Some people use their imagination to torture
• 3:04
  themselves because they keep looping in the same thoughts and
• 3:07
  that's still using your imagination.
• 3:09
  Just not for the resourceful side of things.
• 3:11
  Let's talk at, you know, going to the dark side but you can use
• 3:15
  your imagination if you give yourself the right space.
• 3:20
  If you pause and you say, I'm going to use my imagination.
• 3:24
  I Rely I'm relying on my imagination.
• 3:26
  You call on you. You actually Pull It Forward.
• 3:30
  And you talk about that space and say, I know this is a gift.
• 3:34
  I'm tapping into that gift. I'm going to sit and I'm going
• 3:37
  to imagine what could I do with this situation?
• 3:41
  Or what could I do with? You know it let's say you had
• 3:44
  something problem. You were trying to solve and you
• 3:47
  could sit there and just dwell in your imagination, the
• 3:50
  challenge you have as a human being is that we often just pick
• 3:55
  it out and say that's a stupid idea.
• 3:58
  I'm not going to come up with that.
• 3:59
  That's I'm not going to do that. That's dumb.
• 4:00
  Or I won't even say that out loud.
• 4:03
  So we take ourselves out before we even have a chance.
• 4:06
  So, the challenge I want to present you guys with is using
• 4:10
  your imagination but not actually, you know, killing
• 4:15
  yourself ideas, before you even get a chance to see them or
• 4:18
  think about them from a different standpoint.
• 4:20
  So exercise, sit down and say, okay, I'm going to give my this,
• 4:25
  whatever the situation is whatever I want to be creative
• 4:27
  with to my imagination and I'm just going to dwell and I'm just
• 4:32
  going to think about it and any ideas that come up, any thoughts
• 4:35
  that come up. I'm going to capture them in my
• 4:37
  imagination notebook. Like start a separate notebook,
• 4:40
  just for your imaginative thoughts, when it comes to
• 4:43
  whatever situations you're working, on capture them all
• 4:46
  there. But don't say I'm not going to
• 4:49
  do it right away. Say this is stupid as you're
• 4:51
  writing it down. Nope, just capture them.
• 4:53
  And then at a later time when you are very neutral about it,
• 4:56
  all you can come back and you can sit down and you can look at
• 4:59
  your ideas and say Okay. Do I have any in there that a
• 5:02
  good? Now, I'll be honest with you,
• 5:03
  I've read tons of imaginative ideas and the majority of them,
• 5:07
  I would never do. They're just too crazy or there
• 5:11
  to off base or I just know, they wouldn't work in other things
• 5:15
  that I'm working on, you know. Like here we are creating this
• 5:17
  Farm now, I had this thought, oh, I wouldn't put a swimming
• 5:20
  pool over there and my husband's like in the path where all these
• 5:24
  chickens pass all day long. No, yeah, that can't happen.
• 5:27
  So of course but my imagination painted, a very We big picture
• 5:31
  of it. So, okay, maybe there's a,
• 5:33
  there's a hold back to it, but there's always other things that
• 5:37
  you can come up. So my point is, you've got to
• 5:40
  stop judging your thoughts before you even have a chance to
• 5:44
  sort them through. And you've got to sit down, and
• 5:46
  you've got to put them on a piece of paper, so you can see
• 5:49
  them. And, and put yourself in a great
• 5:51
  headspace, be excited to see what you come up with.
• 5:54
  And the more you use this tool just like going to the gym, the
• 5:57
  stronger, the muscles become and remember When you're doing this
• 6:01
  kind of stuff, the energy that you're in, dictates completely
• 6:06
  what you're attracting. So when you say oh, I don't know
• 6:09
  if I could ever make something happen, we go back to that,
• 6:12
  dominant mental energy, the predominant mental energy of
• 6:15
  where you are attracts, what's happening?
• 6:17
  So we have to be very careful. Not to shut ourselves down so
• 6:20
  quickly. So today's challenge, sit down
• 6:23
  and some imaginative time. Put yourself into a headspace of
• 6:27
  just accepting all cool ideas on whatever subject you're Doing
• 6:30
  well, if you want to write a book, if you're going to paint
• 6:33
  if you're turning, you know, a creating a new business,
• 6:36
  whatever it might be for me. I spent a lot of time in
• 6:38
  imagination about what I wanted the life of my chickens to look
• 6:41
  like and boy, did I get that? And then some and my chickens
• 6:46
  are thriving because of it. So when you know, obviously you
• 6:51
  can see that you can follow us on Instagram, you can and
• 6:53
  Facebook and you can see all those things.
• 6:55
  And I think that the most important aspect of today is to
• 7:00
  not take your Self out before it's too early.
• 7:02
  So have fun with it and I will see you guys tomorrow.
