  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So today we are talking about the gift that you can give
• 0:35
  people by just letting them talk to you.
• 0:39
  It's amazing that this is, you know, a very sweet and simple
• 0:43
  little one today, because I realized.
• 0:46
  That part of the gift that I get to give people every day is
• 0:49
  letting them talk about what's going on and not trying to solve
• 0:52
  their problems. And sometimes it's just that
• 0:55
  people need to talk, sometimes they just need to get some
• 0:57
  things out and they just need to be able to vent.
• 0:59
  And oftentimes we spend so much time trying to make it so that
• 1:03
  we can solve their problems. We end up not actually listening
• 1:08
  to what they're saying or having them just chill out and be able
• 1:11
  to get it all out. We just constantly trying to
• 1:15
  solve the problems and. Instead, if you just took a
• 1:17
  different approach and you just decided that, heck, you know
• 1:20
  what I'm going to do here. I'm going to make sure that I
• 1:23
  give them the ability to actually voice their opinion,
• 1:28
  say what they need to say, and just listen and not try to solve
• 1:32
  the problem. It would make a world of
• 1:34
  difference to many people. They need the ability to be able
• 1:37
  to get it out. They need the ability to be able
• 1:39
  to just talk and say things without having us trying to
• 1:42
  solve problems sometimes and just to say I understand.
• 1:47
  Can you imagine what a gift it is to give to somebody?
• 1:49
  To just say the words I understand, nothing more you can
• 1:54
  offer. If you have a really great idea
• 1:56
  or you want to do something you can say well.
• 2:00
  Do you, would you like me to give you an idea?
• 2:02
  Are you looking for ideas? But being for there for someone
• 2:06
  and just really listening is. I understand, I understand.
• 2:10
  And just being in a good headspace with that.
• 2:13
  So I don't really think that there's a better gift that you
• 2:16
  can give to a person as much as you can do that.
• 2:20
  So it's a it's something that I am blessed to be able to share
• 2:24
  with people as well as asking the questions, but I think one
• 2:27
  of the biggest gifts of being in someone's world.
• 2:30
  Is being able to do that. So I'm going to leave it with
• 2:33
  that today. I want you just to go out and
• 2:35
  let someone know you can listen and just listen.
• 2:39
  I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 2:42
  Bye.
