  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So today, Happy Spring. Again just I'm on a spring theme
• 0:35
  right now because I just feel like it's just such an
• 0:38
  appropriate thing and I just am in this place where today it was
• 0:44
  a great reminder for me. The weather wasn't so harsh and
• 0:49
  overnight. And so this morning when I
• 0:51
  walked out it was just beautiful and the air was fresh and spring
• 0:57
  is just an absolutely wonderful reminder.
• 1:01
  Of how beautiful things can be and how beautiful change can be
• 1:06
  like the heat. That was causing all of this
• 1:09
  raining just or awful weather. We were having just left and all
• 1:13
  of a sudden there was like a breath of fresh air in the whole
• 1:16
  area. And for me, that's just AA, that
• 1:19
  breadth of change is just beautiful, but I know most
• 1:23
  people many of us have a have a thing with change in me, being
• 1:28
  so certainty driven as I am. I used to Really dread change.
• 1:32
  I didn't like it. I just wanted things to stay
• 1:34
  exactly as they were and I had to learn to adapt and learn to
• 1:38
  Pivot with that especially when I was younger.
• 1:41
  So I wanted to talk a bit about that today about how to kind of
• 1:47
  get your head around change, because Springtime everything is
• 1:51
  changing. We're going from what was Barren
• 1:53
  and cold and nothingness. And all of a sudden, the bulbs
• 1:55
  are coming up. Flowers are blooming.
• 1:58
  Birds are having babies? We have baby chickens.
• 2:01
  The chicken coop, all kinds of amazing things start to happen
• 2:04
  in the springtime. And it for me, it's just a great
• 2:08
  reminder to I have to recalibrate myself and say this
• 2:13
  is a time to learn how valuable change is because change doesn't
• 2:18
  always seem like it's wonderful. But when we really hunker down
• 2:21
  and we really start to think about it, we can understand
• 2:24
  exactly how much it is. A wonderful thing to be in a
• 2:28
  state and operate with change constantly.
• 2:31
  Only happening. Now, whether we like to face it
• 2:33
  or not changes always happening every day, we don't think it is.
• 2:38
  But it is, you know, the and I'll use this as an example
• 2:42
  because I think it's such an important one.
• 2:44
  So you're either moving closer to the person you want to be or
• 2:49
  further from the person you want to be every day those little
• 2:52
  changes. So if you decide okay I'm going
• 2:55
  to work out. I'm going to lose weight, I'm
• 2:56
  going to get healthy. I'm going to do all these
• 2:58
  wonderful things for my body and then all of a sudden, you Change
• 3:01
  that and you decide. Oh, well, it's okay to eat the
• 3:04
  burger or okay, it's okay to have the extra beer, or it's
• 3:08
  okay to do those little things. And so I'm going to skip the
• 3:11
  workout or the walks or the, the reading, and the learning in the
• 3:15
  mindset, whatever it might be. Those are all small little
• 3:19
  changes that are something that you're saying, I'm going to push
• 3:25
  that aside for right now. But the truth is, they have
• 3:27
  massive impact. And when you don't pay attention
• 3:30
  to To them and you don't consistently do them over time.
• 3:34
  All those little tiny changes have a bigger impact so the
• 3:38
  small one change eating. The burger.
• 3:39
  One day, may not be a big deal, but eating the burger over the
• 3:43
  course of six months might be a really big deal.
• 3:47
  So, the little changes if you handle them all of a sudden,
• 3:52
  everything else seems to take care of itself, but if you don't
• 3:55
  handle the small ones, the bigger ones, you know, as they
• 3:58
  become bigger and they get more. Are defined all those little
• 4:03
  changes that you made along the way, add up to big changes.
• 4:07
  Now, they don't always have to add up to negatives.
• 4:09
  They can add up to positives because that's the beautiful
• 4:12
  part of our world change has Duality.
• 4:15
  It can be for the better or it can be for the worst.
• 4:18
  And, you know, I think the most important part about
• 4:22
  understanding change is accepting that it's constantly
• 4:25
  happening. So, once you accept it, you can
• 4:28
  say, I'm going to choose to focus on all the great changes.
• 4:32
  I'm going to choose to focus on all the things that move me
• 4:35
  towards who I choose to be, or my outcomes, my goals, my
• 4:39
  intentions, whatever you want to call it.
• 4:41
  But it's that acceptance of change.
• 4:43
  It's the acceptance of what's happening and saying, okay, you
• 4:47
  know, I have to allow myself that, that awareness that all
• 4:52
  change is not bad. So, there are things that change
• 4:56
  constantly on this Farm. There are things that change
• 4:59
  constantly. I have no control.
• 5:01
  Over the weather. I have no control over the
• 5:03
  behavior of animals. They're going to be who they
• 5:06
  are. I have a beautiful chicken Buffy
• 5:10
  who's got quite an attitude on her.
• 5:13
  Some of you may have seen her before on my Facebook and
• 5:16
  Instagram, she's got, she's blondish colored and she has big
• 5:22
  puffy hair do. She kind of reminds me of
• 5:24
  Phyllis Diller from the 70s and boy does she.
• 5:27
  She looks so sweet and so pretty but that attitude is is so day
• 5:32
  as long. She's got an attitude and I have
• 5:35
  watched her overtime shift and change and become something of a
• 5:40
  leader in the group. She's not the top chicken, but
• 5:42
  she's up there and she does have these little changes about her
• 5:47
  all the time and all the chickens do.
• 5:49
  They all have these little shifts, you'll see how they
• 5:51
  change their roles, you'll see the, you know, the younger ones
• 5:56
  starting to take more of a role. It's constantly in flux and it's
• 6:00
  just a reminder Our for me about how much that takes place
• 6:04
  everywhere, doesn't matter what you think it takes place
• 6:08
  everywhere. So I'm going to tell you embrace
• 6:11
  the change, make it your friend talk to it, welcome it and look
• 6:16
  at it and say, you know what it is a sign of hope, it is a sign
• 6:20
  of, I have some control because I can focus my attention on the
• 6:25
  positive parts of the change and know exactly what I want to
• 6:29
  attract. All right.
• 6:31
  My friends, I'll see you tomorrow morning and I hope you
• 6:33
  have a very blessed day. Bye.
