0:27
Hey, everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
0:31
So this morning we are talking about the fact that we make our
0:35
own breaks. We give ourselves our own
0:37
breaks. Now, I know they're gonna be
0:40
people out here that listen to this and think that is
0:43
completely crazy. It's a matter of luck, or it's a
0:46
matter of people who, you know, know people and all this stuff.
0:49
And we can all make excuses, but the reality is that we have to
0:54
take ownership for pretty much everything in our world.
0:57
And I truly mean that and getting a break.
1:01
You set yourself up for your breaks by doing the work,
1:05
putting the effort in, putting the intentions in.
1:07
And apparently Dottie agrees with this because she's right
1:09
here having a lot to say about it.
1:11
And the truth is, we have no choice.
1:13
We have to be able to sit there and say to ourselves.
1:16
You know, when I take ownership of this and I start to focus on
1:19
this, I know for a fact that I can change things because I
1:23
could create my own breaks. I can create things that show up
1:26
when I put myself in the right place and I work hard and I keep
1:30
showing up and doing the right things, great things happen.
1:33
When I don't, nothing happens. And even worse, I set myself up
1:38
for failure because I keep doing the wrong things so recently.
1:43
Had quite a few things where with clients where stuff has
1:47
come up and they have been put in the position with either an
1:53
employee or a partner or a child where they are talking about how
2:00
this person is my the person that's I'm coaching is being
2:04
blamed for the fact that the other person is not getting what
2:07
they want and I think that that's one of the hardest.
2:11
Positions to be in because we ask ourselves, well, did I do
2:14
something wrong here? Did I do something that set this
2:16
up? Did I do the the, the, the wrong
2:19
choice when I was giving tough love or when I made the cuts
2:23
that I had to make from whatever I was working on?
2:27
And it affected people. And so you have to keep going
2:31
back to the one thing if you show up.
2:35
And you do your very, very, very best and you pour out energy and
2:39
you are putting the best foot forward and the best intention.
2:43
You know you're having your, for those Ted lasso fans out there.
2:47
You're having your Ted lasso moments where you're just
2:49
showing up, you're just doing the work and you're just happy
2:53
as can be. Magic happens, is it?
2:57
And energetically, it is that magical thing where things just
3:00
start to flow to you as well as. You are truly pulling that
3:06
together and people can't not shift around you.
3:10
You have to just expect that people are going to shift and
3:14
things are going to work out for you because you're putting the
3:16
right foot forward, you're putting the right energy there.
3:19
So what ends up happening when people start calling you out on
3:22
it? You start second guessing
3:23
yourself. You think you're doing something
3:25
wrong, and you start questioning everything.
3:27
You start having these moments where you're just like, Oh my
3:30
gosh, I I I must clearly be doing something wrong here.
3:33
I must be the one that's out of whack here.
3:36
I must be the one that needs to go back and look at what my
3:38
behavior is and it's okay to. Question yourself.
3:41
Sure, everyone, you should question ourselves.
3:44
You know, as Buddha said, believe nothing.
3:46
I say question everything and find out for yourself.
3:48
And that is true. We should question ourselves,
3:52
but not to the detriment of moving forward, not to the
3:54
detriment of the choices and setting ourselves up to win.
3:58
So we have we have to take ownership of the characteristics
4:03
that we want to own. We have to take ownership of our
4:05
breaks, you know. In fact, it's funny because
4:10
there's a Bon Jovi song that's in a line in one of the songs
4:13
that's like, we make our own breaks.
4:16
And that is beyond accurate. We go out and we do the work, we
4:22
pour it in and we make things show up.
4:25
So the question you have to ask yourself as we come into this
4:28
next phase, we're almost through the summer now and we're.
4:33
You know, considering the fact that it's going to be all of a
4:37
sudden the end of the year before, your heart knows it.
4:41
For your mind knows it, for your soul knows it.
4:44
And you want to say to yourself, okay, if this is true and it's
4:47
going by this lightning fast, have I set myself up to win
4:51
over? I set myself up to just be in a
4:53
place where I'm frustrated at the end of the year.
4:56
And the answer is, don't let that happen.
4:58
The answer is. Get your ass moving now.
5:01
Do the things that you need to do so that you are able to get
5:05
clear on everything that needs to happen as quickly as you can
5:09
and set yourself up to win. Start with your mind, start with
5:13
your actions. Start with your beliefs.
5:15
Put it all together and watch the magic happen.
5:18
But remember, nothing happens until you decide you want to.
5:20
Give yourself the brakes until you decide, hey, I'm gonna.
5:24
I'm gonna create a situation that I can win in.
5:28
All right, my friends. I hope you have a blessed day
5:30
and go out and seek them out. All right, I will see you
5:32
tomorrow. Bye.
