  Good morning from the chicken. So I have a question for you.
• 0:33
  Are you are you waiting for success to find you?
• 0:37
  Are you like actively just sitting there waiting for
• 0:41
  success to find you or are you out there pursuing it with all
• 0:47
  the intentions as well as the actions?
• 0:51
  The difference in these two things is incredibly important
• 0:54
  because if you were just waiting for something to find you and
• 0:58
  you're not living in a state of acceptance of it, meaning that
• 1:03
  you are, you know, you have to do things in order to make stuff
• 1:06
  happen. We have to, we cannot just sit
• 1:08
  around and, you know, blindly ignore the fact that we need to
• 1:13
  be actively pursuing it because that is part of the consistent
• 1:17
  message of manifesting, you know some years ago there was Many
• 1:22
  books have come out about, obviously can come on about
• 1:24
  manifesting to some years ago there was a book that came out
• 1:27
  and was pretty clear that everybody walked away thinking.
• 1:30
  They could just sit in a room and think about something, and
• 1:34
  it would happen. And the confusion behind that
• 1:37
  was, it's all back to emotion. Everything comes down to
• 1:40
  emotion, that's tied to it. And if you are incredibly
• 1:44
  focused with your emotion, in a consistent Direction, you always
• 1:49
  get that doesn't matter. Her what you're thinking about,
• 1:52
  doesn't matter how you're visualizing yourself.
• 1:55
  If your underlying emotion is going in a certain direction,
• 1:58
  then that's where you're going to end up.
• 2:00
  And that also got a lot of people to become, in my opinion,
• 2:04
  lazy, because they thought, I don't have to really do too
• 2:07
  much. I don't have to do the work, and
• 2:09
  I can just move on, and wait for it to happen.
• 2:13
  Wait for it to show up, but this is a puzzle that we have to
• 2:17
  actually work at, you know, you cannot get in.
• 2:21
  I know you've heard me say this before, if you're a regular
• 2:23
  listener, you cannot get the outcome without the effort and
• 2:27
  the effort is on multiple levels.
• 2:29
  The effort is on that level of. Yes, thinking about it.
• 2:33
  Yes, visualizing it, yes, putting emotion to it, and
• 2:38
  feeling as if you would, when you had it seeing it, as if it
• 2:42
  was already done. And it is actually moving your
• 2:46
  ass doing the work. So when you question, Am I doing
• 2:52
  the work? Am I doing the work?
• 2:54
  That's going to move me in the right direction.
• 2:57
  You really have to be on point with that.
• 3:00
  You have to say and do I feel like I'm putting in a valid
• 3:03
  effort to this or my just putting in the minimum?
• 3:05
  And here's the thing. People will often say to me,
• 3:08
  well, how do I know? Well, listen only, you know, you
• 3:11
  know, if you're making your best effort, you know, if you're
• 3:14
  pouring in, you know, if you could do more, you know, when I
• 3:18
  was a kid, I really, really struggled.
• 3:21
  Raw gold with certain things about going to school.
• 3:24
  And, and having the relationships that I did with
• 3:29
  people, when I was younger, because as much as people think,
• 3:34
  I'm an extrovert, I'm really much more of an ambivert where I
• 3:37
  go to that introvert side. I like things that other people
• 3:42
  don't necessarily get into. If you're in the common sense of
• 3:46
  the strain. I love the farming piece, I love
• 3:48
  and I just didn't grow up with people like that.
• 3:50
  They just weren't a part of My life.
• 3:52
  So I always had to kind of keep myself twisted and put aside.
• 3:55
  And there was one thing that I really did like and I like to
• 3:58
  school the learning aspect of school, I hated the going to
• 4:02
  school and having to interact and be different and all that I
• 4:07
  did not like that at all. However, I did love the learning
• 4:10
  aspect. I always had good grades.
• 4:12
  I always worked my butt off with it, but it came easy.
• 4:17
  And this is the point of the story.
• 4:19
  I would actually sit when I was in.
• 4:22
  Third, fourth grade, and I would say to my father, he'd say, how
• 4:26
  was your day? And I would say it was good.
• 4:28
  I did well. And I would take out my papers
• 4:30
  and I would show him and he would say, was it hard?
• 4:32
  And I would say no. And I always felt like I could
• 4:36
  have pushed myself more, but there was never an expectation
• 4:41
  from somebody other than him and he would say, well, if you're
• 4:45
  getting age, you're doing the good work, but the truth was,
• 4:48
  the work could have been harder and I didn't know how to Like
• 4:52
  that. I didn't know how to share that
• 4:54
  with him because I was young when I got older and I got into
• 4:57
  high school, I didn't care about that anymore.
• 4:59
  I didn't care if the work was easy, came easy, I mean
• 5:02
  everything except math came very easy, but I didn't care about
• 5:06
  that because I just wanted to get out of school.
• 5:09
  So I could go do what I wanted to do.
• 5:11
  I didn't want to be in this framework of what school was
• 5:14
  because it felt completely wrong it.
• 5:17
  Even at that age. It felt completely wrong.
• 5:20
  Oh, take art classes. No, I don't want to draw.
• 5:22
  What someone else tells me I have to draw.
• 5:24
  I want to draw what I want to draw.
• 5:26
  I want to be independent. Now that has obviously its
• 5:30
  benefits and it has its downfalls and no one could ever
• 5:33
  help me manage that. So this is why we're having this
• 5:36
  conversation today, so I can help you manage these things
• 5:39
  because you really have to look at yourself and you have to say,
• 5:43
  you know, am I in a position where I am seeking the success?
• 5:48
  Am I waiting for it to happen? Am I just Like dwelling in this
• 5:54
  place of constant, anticipation, or am I actually doing the work?
• 5:58
  Because I will tell you, if you're actually doing the work
• 6:01
  along with this, it's magical because now, that's what I do.
• 6:04
  I do the work now and do I push myself.
• 6:07
  Yeah. And do I spend time working my
• 6:10
  butt off with my clients. Yes.
• 6:12
  And am, I always learning and getting new things into my head?
• 6:15
  Yes. Because if you're not growing,
• 6:17
  you're dying. And that's something that I
• 6:19
  think is incredibly important at this point in time.
• 6:22
  For us to all recognize. So I hope you guys find
• 6:26
  something today that makes you want to grow.
• 6:28
  Go out there and stop waiting for Success.
• 6:30
  Go out there and crush it. All right, my friends, I will
• 6:33
  see you tomorrow. Bye.
