  Good morning from the chicken coop so How much do you think
• 0:32
  you spend time in a state of? Awe, like, do you really walk
• 0:38
  around in your world looking for things that are absolutely like,
• 0:44
  wow? Or do you just go through the
• 0:47
  day Meandering, maybe here and there, you'll pick up some and
• 0:51
  be like, that's cool. But do you really think you
• 0:53
  spend time cultivating and working on a state of awe?
• 0:58
  And looking at the world? Like the wonderous place that it
• 1:02
  is. So this is something that I
• 1:04
  really try to work on for myself, you know, regularly
• 1:08
  because it makes you, it just lifts your soul, it puts you in
• 1:13
  a different place of Attraction. It puts you energetically on a
• 1:17
  different plane. It's scientifically proven that
• 1:20
  the happier happier, you are. The more you pour into that side
• 1:24
  of yourself, the more quality of a life you have the better
• 1:30
  things. Happened to you, the better,
• 1:32
  your health is the better. Your Existence has the better,
• 1:35
  your relationships are everything becomes better when
• 1:38
  you approach it and you have a higher state of happiness.
• 1:42
  And for me that's that's cultivating.
• 1:46
  A state of awe like just looking at things and being like, wow,
• 1:49
  this is amazing. It's so wonderous and it doesn't
• 1:52
  matter what it is. It doesn't matter what you're
• 1:53
  looking at. You know, I obviously record
• 1:56
  this from the chicken coop because it's one of my happy
• 1:58
  places and I'm me coming out here and watching them in their,
• 2:04
  in their little world and watching how they develop their
• 2:07
  flock and how you can see who's in charge and how you can watch
• 2:12
  who treats, who which way and how they they blend together.
• 2:17
  It's literally to me. One of the coolest things that I
• 2:21
  have ever seen. Like watching, I have this whole
• 2:23
  little group of babies that I got at Tractor Supply and one of
• 2:28
  my hens, adopted them for me, which was Fabulous.
• 2:31
  She raised them and now there are seven of them and they're
• 2:35
  they're like medium girls early teenagers at this point and they
• 2:38
  are really trying to be like big girls and they are testing the
• 2:43
  waters to see how far they can go.
• 2:45
  And in this you know the hierarchy of chickens there is a
• 2:49
  really as a pecking order. It is real.
• 2:51
  That's where that phrase comes from.
• 2:53
  It is definitely real and I've got some really, you know,
• 2:57
  dominant hens that do. Not like to give up any space
• 3:02
  and then the rest of them are pretty easy going.
• 3:04
  But these little girls are trying to test the water and
• 3:07
  they're trying to get in there. And it all comes down to when
• 3:09
  you eat, where you eat where you sleep, there's all these little
• 3:14
  patterns about them and I watch them and observe them all the
• 3:17
  time to see how they're doing. And it for me, this triggers, a
• 3:22
  state of awe. Like I would have never thought
• 3:26
  that chickens are that fascinating.
• 3:29
  I would never thought they'd have Our whole language.
• 3:32
  I would never have understood that if I hadn't had them and
• 3:35
  been with them at this depth, like I am here just like the
• 3:38
  fact that the rooster can make one sound and the entire flock.
• 3:42
  No matter where they are freeze because there's a threat and he
• 3:45
  puts out an alert and everybody freezes.
• 3:47
  They stop whatever they're doing and they just freeze and you
• 3:50
  wouldn't, maybe you didn't know that, maybe you didn't know
• 3:53
  that, but it's pretty cool to watch and then he makes another
• 3:55
  sound and they all come running and he stands there and watches
• 3:58
  them Run for Cover and he's the one.
• 4:00
  Out front. He's that chivalrous male
• 4:03
  standing they're out, front making sure that they're all
• 4:05
  protected. He's the one that's going to
• 4:06
  take on that Hawk and has to protect them from anything
• 4:11
  happening to them but I would never.
• 4:14
  And and the day that did happen by the way, I was in a complete
• 4:18
  and total state of awe to the point where I actually cried
• 4:21
  because I couldn't believe how cool he was that he would do
• 4:23
  something like this. I couldn't believe that he would
• 4:26
  actually put himself In Harm's Way to protect these girls.
• 4:30
  And for me, that was like, you know, that old Paula Cole song
• 4:35
  of where have all the Cowboy's gone.
• 4:36
  Well, I have one and he's in a chicken for him and he's here at
• 4:39
  my chicken coop and I and I love him for it.
• 4:42
  He's just the coolest thing ever.
• 4:45
  And I really genuinely believe that I am in awe of him, for his
• 4:50
  willingness to do that. I watch how he goes around and
• 4:53
  he pulls fruit and berries off of our trees and drops them on
• 4:59
  the ground. So that the hens you can eat
• 5:00
  them because he's quite bigger quite a bit bigger than the
• 5:04
  hens, and he drops them for him. He doesn't eat them himself.
• 5:06
  He feeds the girls that to me. I could stand there and say,
• 5:10
  wow, how cool is that? So my point of telling you all
• 5:14
  about chickens and this is that this is up way I get my, ah, I
• 5:19
  get my off fixed in this place. I also get it from watching
• 5:23
  flowers. I also get it from watching the
• 5:25
  world around me, seeing the trees and different light.
• 5:28
  Looking at all these little things, because If we stay and
• 5:31
  we just look for odd in our outcomes.
• 5:34
  And what we're achieving personally, there are days where
• 5:37
  we will be starved, we will be starved for on it and we will
• 5:42
  leave feeling depleted. But if we stop, and we just look
• 5:46
  around us at the world that the universe and God have given us.
• 5:51
  We can pause and we can go. Wow, there is so much here.
• 5:56
  We that we could just be infinitely amazed with if we
• 6:00
  just paused and looked and it recalibrates you energetically
• 6:04
  it pulls you into a different headspace.
• 6:06
  It puts you in a place where all of a sudden now you can really
• 6:11
  start to feel amazing about life in general.
• 6:14
  And then from there, everything else gets exponentially better.
• 6:18
  As we know because once you feel good good things happen, you can
• 6:22
  really start to tap into that pattern of energy and it Action.
• 6:27
  So I hope that you have an amazing day finding states of
• 6:32
  awe, finding the little things that you, you know, fire you up
• 6:37
  and I hope no matter what that when they present themselves to
• 6:42
  you, you take the time and you pause and you see them.
• 6:45
  All right, my friends. I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:47
  Bye.
