• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So, today, I want to talk to you about taking ownership of
• 0:34
  yourself. I'm talking a hundred percent
• 0:36
  ownership of yourself, your thoughts, your feelings, and
• 0:38
  your actions. And you may think this is what I
• 0:42
  do every day and I will challenge you.
• 0:45
  That you're probably not doing that every day because most of
• 0:48
  us, don't think about it. And we just are stuck in our
• 0:52
  little worlds and we operate in our little bubble and we tend to
• 0:57
  blame other people for how things go.
• 1:00
  Well. I wasn't able to do this because
• 1:02
  of this, or I didn't get there because I had to do this or I
• 1:06
  wasn't able to get to the gym today because I had to do x, y
• 1:11
  and z. Well, the truth is, you could
• 1:15
  have gotten to the gym. If you had taken a hundred
• 1:17
  percent ownership of the fact that you wanted to get to the
• 1:20
  gym, could have figured a way out.
• 1:22
  You could have done a lot of things differently, no doubt.
• 1:26
  If you had just said in the beginning, I take 100% ownership
• 1:29
  of this and blank, blank, blank, whatever it is, I promise you,
• 1:34
  you have more hours in a day than you think, or that you
• 1:37
  recognize or that you utilize. Let me say, because everybody
• 1:41
  gets into their habitat. It's and they function in a
• 1:45
  certain way that they're used to and in order to change things
• 1:49
  up, you know you have to change things up.
• 1:52
  It's just like when I first started recording this podcast,
• 1:56
  it's like oh my gosh, where am I going to fit the time?
• 1:59
  And for that, that's my very first thought.
• 2:01
  Where am I going to fit the time in for that?
• 2:03
  But the truth is, I have the time to do it and I have the
• 2:07
  time to do the editing. I just have to rearrange my
• 2:10
  schedule a little bit. I have the time to Work out.
• 2:13
  If I choose to, I have the time to read.
• 2:15
  If I choose to, I can change my world.
• 2:20
  If I am taking ownership of myself and I stop putting it on
• 2:25
  other people and saying, well, they dictate it.
• 2:27
  Well, I have to do this because of this, or I have to do this, I
• 2:32
  can't do that because of this. We love to make up stories and
• 2:36
  excuses about the reasons things don't work well in reality.
• 2:42
  It's nice and it makes us feel great for a second that were
• 2:45
  relieved that it wasn't just us. But the truth is it is always us
• 2:49
  and we have to go back to saying if it's important and I really
• 2:53
  want it I have to take ownership of myself and I have to do the
• 2:57
  work necessary to get where I want to go.
• 2:59
  Otherwise I'm not going to get where I want to go.
• 3:01
  Otherwise I'm going to stay right where I am because I've
• 3:04
  never taken ownership over a situation or myself.
• 3:08
  And once I'm willing to take ownership over it I have to care
• 3:11
  for It, I have to cultivate it. I have to do the things that are
• 3:15
  necessary in order to make it different.
• 3:19
  And that all begins with being 100% responsible for yourself.
• 3:24
  You know, heard me say it before we are 50%.
• 3:27
  If we were in relationships with people, we are always 50%
• 3:30
  responsible for how we show up in those relationships in that
• 3:34
  sense of shared responsibility. However, we are 100% responsible
• 3:40
  for ourselves. Ways and we have to be willing
• 3:44
  to know. And look at ourselves really
• 3:47
  know yourself. Ask the right questions.
• 3:50
  Can't not ask the right questions.
• 3:52
  I mean, Whatever. Whenever we do that kind of
• 3:54
  stuff, we completely mess ourselves up in the process
• 3:58
  because we, the starting off point is the the on, resourceful
• 4:02
  question. Why did they do this to me?
• 4:06
  I'm resourceful question. You'll never figure out why they
• 4:08
  did. It doesn't matter why they did
• 4:10
  it just dealing with the conditions as what we need to
• 4:12
  know, hard concept to believe. But it's true and understanding
• 4:18
  your level of ownership of yourself, is the beginning of
• 4:22
  unplugging all that other toxic stuff that goes on when you can
• 4:27
  unplug that and unplug those toxic beliefs that told you
• 4:31
  back, Providence moves. And all of a sudden you you have
• 4:36
  a completely different view of the world, so, Stop and pause
• 4:42
  like seriously. Stop and pause and ask yourself
• 4:45
  the question, am I truly taking ownership of myself of my life
• 4:50
  of all the things that I have going on in my taking ownership
• 4:53
  of it? Or am I just passing the buck?
• 4:55
  Am I just saying, well I can't or it's, you know, it's not,
• 5:00
  it's not feasible right now. And, you know, I hear this a lot
• 5:03
  especially when it comes to people saying, well, I want to
• 5:07
  work on what I want to do over the next year or the next six
• 5:10
  months. But I can't yet because I have
• 5:13
  to clean this up first, and boy. Oh boy.
• 5:17
  That is so limiting because it isn't you not taking ownership
• 5:23
  of the entire vision for yourself?
• 5:26
  You can say, there's a sequence to it sure.
• 5:29
  But you can't just say to yourself.
• 5:31
  Hey, I'm just going to sideline all of this so that I can, you
• 5:35
  know, complain about what's going on right now and focus on
• 5:40
  this. These problems right here as
• 5:43
  opposed to saying, okay, you know what?
• 5:45
  I take ownership. I got myself here.
• 5:48
  I'm going to still work on my vision forward and I'm going to
• 5:50
  work on this one where I am right now.
• 5:52
  And this is how I'm going to do it.
• 5:54
  And I'm going to make a plan for here and I'm going to make a
• 5:56
  plan for out there. And each day I'm going to take
• 6:00
  ownership of myself and add value to both those columns so
• 6:04
  that I can get where I want to go.
• 6:07
  It works, trust me. But the fundamental of it is
• 6:10
  always come back to owning yourself.
• 6:12
  You must take ownership of your actions, your thoughts your
• 6:16
  beliefs. And when you do boy, world will
• 6:21
  change. Okay?
• 6:22
  My friends have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow.
