• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Poop. Have you ever had a pomegranate?
• 0:33
  So this is one of the interesting fruits in the world,
• 0:37
  and I'm sure most of you have had a pomegranate, or even least
• 0:41
  had pomegranate juice. Let's put it that way, but it
• 0:43
  have you ever actually sat down to enjoy a pomegranate?
• 0:48
  So, we know that they provide absolute unbelievable benefits
• 0:54
  Health Wise, that's why everybody wants to drink
• 0:57
  pomegranate juice. And there's such a huge company
• 0:59
  called palm and no, this is not a pitch.
• 1:00
  Palm, however, the pomegranate itself is not a particularly
• 1:06
  great looking fruit, okay? It's kind of weird-looking and
• 1:10
  then when you try to eat it, it is arduous.
• 1:13
  It is one of those things that only kids like, because they're,
• 1:18
  they're just daunting to take apart.
• 1:20
  I remember my first time having it and I was like, gosh, this is
• 1:24
  unbelievable. Like the amount of work that it
• 1:27
  takes to actually quote unquote, enjoy it not Don't even know
• 1:31
  that I enjoy it because it's got a weird tart taste and it's hard
• 1:37
  to eat and there it's just messy now why the hell am I talking
• 1:42
  about this? Because the benefits of said
• 1:46
  fruit and the work? It takes to deal with said fruit
• 1:50
  have lessons in it. And so I was thinking about how
• 1:53
  sometimes we want, such a quick fix and it is so big in society
• 1:58
  right now that everybody wants the outcome.
• 2:00
  The effort I shouldn't say everybody should see many people
• 2:04
  want the outcome without the effort and they just want that
• 2:07
  instantaneous. Boom.
• 2:09
  Boom, boom, boom. Boom.
• 2:10
  You know, I should get it. I'm entitled to it.
• 2:12
  Oh, just because of my very existence.
• 2:14
  I am entitled to something and I am not a believer of that and I
• 2:18
  will stand on that soapbox all day long.
• 2:20
  And say it because I was brought up with, listen, we work hard
• 2:26
  and we stay faithful and we do the mindset work and we do the
• 2:31
  intelligence work and we put good into the world and we get
• 2:34
  good back in the world and the pomegranate represents that for
• 2:39
  me. It is a fruit that isn't always
• 2:43
  pretty. It doesn't have always the best
• 2:47
  taste in the world but the benefits from it are huge and
• 2:51
  when you get past, the work the seeds, the cutting the digging,
• 2:56
  the benefits that it gives you are tremendous and You start to
• 3:01
  apply that principle to life and you get past the fact that you
• 3:04
  should be entitled to things. Everything happens in a, in a,
• 3:09
  in a path. That's sewed.
• 3:11
  Unbelievably just shockingly. Wonderful things unfold like
• 3:17
  magic, but you have to get your head in the right place and your
• 3:21
  actions in the right place and it is not just about being
• 3:24
  handed things. You know, I post a lot of
• 3:29
  pictures about the Hours that I grow, and the vegetables that I
• 3:33
  grow because these are my mindfulness activities to teach
• 3:36
  you guys. These are things that show you.
• 3:39
  That's how you find mindfulness in the world.
• 3:41
  You focus on little things, you be grateful for those little
• 3:45
  things as much as you can see them, and you incorporate that
• 3:50
  ideology into yourself. So I have belonged to a lot of
• 3:54
  little groups share pictures because I love taking pictures
• 3:58
  anyway, it's just part of how Hard wiring is and how I see the
• 4:02
  world and I was taught early on when I went to school for
• 4:05
  graphics in photography and everything else that you share
• 4:10
  your vision when you take those pictures of how your angles,
• 4:13
  your point of view, it's hardly ever the same as someone else
• 4:17
  is. So, it's always fascinating that
• 4:18
  you can have the same flower and 10 people can take a picture of
• 4:21
  it and maybe only two of them have a view that catches an eye.
• 4:25
  And again, we're all representative of how we see
• 4:28
  things. So, anyway, I'm posting these
• 4:30
  pictures of these flowers and these people are talking about,
• 4:34
  well, you're lucky that you are flowers, are blooming, you're
• 4:39
  lucky that this is what's happening for you, mine are not
• 4:42
  doing this. And so I posted back and I said,
• 4:45
  well, I'm heavily feeding them. I'm making sure that I'm
• 4:49
  utilizing other elements of my farm on the flowers and I'm
• 4:53
  putting chicken poop that's been, composted with hay and I'm
• 4:57
  packing it around them. I'm using rabbit poop around
• 5:00
  them. My rabbits and I'm making sure
• 5:03
  they have fish food. Fertilizer on them every three
• 5:05
  weeks and they are rewarding me. And this woman comes back and
• 5:10
  she says well I wouldn't want that messy stuff around my roses
• 5:16
  and I thought to myself wow that's really interesting.
• 5:19
  So she wants the outcome without the effort.
• 5:23
  She wants to have that Rose say Hey listen I'm going to just
• 5:26
  Bloom for you give you gorgeousness but I'm not going
• 5:29
  to, you know. Give you what you need to thrive
• 5:32
  and I sent back and I said, well that's your choice but the rose
• 5:35
  is clearly giving you a message it's not getting what it needs.
• 5:39
  So you have to make a decision about if you're willing to
• 5:42
  sacrifice the prettiness of what's around the rose to get
• 5:46
  the actual rose, no reply back and that's how it works in this
• 5:52
  world. You have to be willing to do it.
• 5:54
  You have to dive into the pomegranate, you have to say,
• 5:57
  I'm going to take the crappy bitter.
• 6:00
  This ugly fruit because I know it does something great for my
• 6:03
  blood and my bones and my brain. So there you have it and I hope
• 6:10
  you have a pomegranate today. I hope you have something
• 6:12
  fabulous that kicks your ass into realizing you gotta do the
• 6:18
  work, you have got to get yourself settled on.
• 6:22
  It's not easy and just running off and saying, oh look at me,
• 6:28
  I'm going to do something or oh, look at me.
• 6:30
  This is what I did and it's barely done is not enough.
• 6:34
  So if you don't have the outcomes that you want, look at
• 6:38
  your effort and be really honest with yourself.
• 6:41
  I hope you guys have a fun filled day, a blessed day and I
• 6:44
  will see you tomorrow. My friends.
• 6:46
  Bye! This is what I did and it's
• 6:32
  barely done is not enough. So if you don't have the
• 6:36
  outcomes that you want, look at your effort and be really honest
• 6:39
  with yourself. I hope you guys have a fun
• 6:43
  filled day, a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:45
  My friends. Bye!
