• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So today we are talking about letting go of your need to have
• 0:34
  lots of things happen. In order to have a happy life.
• 0:40
  You know, having that ability to say, I'm going to choose to be
• 0:44
  happy in spite of all the things that are going around me.
• 0:47
  So the question that you have to ask yourself is do I really need
• 0:51
  to have things be a certain way in order to be happy?
• 0:54
  Or am I just generally a happy person and structure things can
• 0:59
  irritate me. Things can go Wrong and I might
• 1:02
  be a grump sums. Sometimes I might have a grumpy
• 1:05
  reaction, but am I generally a happy person and discovering
• 1:09
  this about yourself is very interesting because I will say
• 1:13
  this, I believe that I am generally a pretty happy person,
• 1:18
  but that doesn't mean I don't get pissed off.
• 1:20
  Let me be very clear about that. I grew up in New England.
• 1:24
  Hmm, I can get pissed off with the best of them and I can get
• 1:28
  irritated with the best of them and I can have certain things
• 1:31
  take off and I feel my temper explode.
• 1:34
  But that doesn't mean that I'm not generally a happy person and
• 1:38
  for me, one of the most important things that I have had
• 1:41
  to learn and train myself for is getting past it quickly, so that
• 1:45
  it doesn't take over and it doesn't become something.
• 1:48
  I don't want it to be see that's the part that I think we all
• 1:52
  miss out on is we let it take over and you know that old
• 1:56
  saying I love, you know, being angry with someone is like
• 2:00
  Planning to throw coals in their face and grabbing the coals and
• 2:04
  you're burnt first and that's really true.
• 2:07
  You know, you don't want to burn yourself first with your anger.
• 2:11
  You want to recognize that being an anger doesn't really serve
• 2:14
  anything now. Is it, a momentary reaction?
• 2:17
  Yes. Hanging on to it.
• 2:19
  Long term. Is that helpful?
• 2:20
  No, you know, the people in my world that have wronged me are
• 2:25
  quoting this the most. I have, you know, made peace
• 2:29
  with that and sent them. I'm nothing but, you know, I
• 2:33
  wish you Wells and sent them on their way emotionally and let it
• 2:37
  go. Because I refused to allow that
• 2:40
  to dictate my well-being. I refuse to allow that to create
• 2:44
  something in me that I don't like or want.
• 2:47
  And when you can recognize that, when you can make those
• 2:51
  decisions, and you can move past it, you are now engaged in a
• 2:55
  whole different level of Wellness, mental Wellness,
• 2:59
  because you are moving, In towards saying, I'm happy all
• 3:02
  the time. Regardless of what's going on
• 3:04
  around me. I choose to feel good in spite
• 3:06
  of everything that's happening around me.
• 3:09
  Can I have levels of sadness? Frustration, irritation,
• 3:13
  aggravation, all of that above it.
• 3:15
  Yes. But at my core, I'm tapped into
• 3:18
  what I believe in and what the universe has to offer.
• 3:21
  And that's love and happiness and recognizing that there are
• 3:26
  layers that show up for you boy. That's Is really empowering
• 3:31
  because it stops you from feeling, the overwhelming sense
• 3:35
  of I have to control stuff around me and I just choose it
• 3:40
  and that's where the power is in the choice.
• 3:42
  The power is not in making things.
• 3:45
  You know, perfect, there is no perfect in the world.
• 3:48
  There is just making it right for you.
• 3:51
  And when you recognize those things and you start moving in
• 3:54
  that direction and doing them, it changes how you feel moment
• 3:57
  to moment day to day. So if you're not getting along
• 4:00
  with your Wilder, you're not getting along with your spouse
• 4:02
  or your not getting, along with your work boss or whoever it
• 4:06
  might be, it's making a decision to say, you know what, at my
• 4:11
  core, I'm still happy and I choose happiness over everything
• 4:14
  else, and I'm not going to let it get to me.
• 4:17
  I choose something different and the powers and the choice
• 4:20
  always. So you have to stop and pause
• 4:24
  and calibrate yourself and say, you know, who am I in this
• 4:28
  moment? Am I being true to my core?
• 4:30
  And it might just be that your core is even Beyond happiness.
• 4:34
  You might say, I'm just joyous, I just choose to be joyous.
• 4:37
  You might just say that I'm filled with love and abundance
• 4:39
  all the time, whatever it is that you decide to take that
• 4:43
  route with it's completely and totally okay.
• 4:47
  You just have to do it in a state of awareness so that
• 4:50
  there's a path that you can follow regularly because this is
• 4:55
  about consistency, this is about the regular consistency of how
• 4:59
  you're choosing to show up. And once you start doing
• 5:02
  something consistently, that's the power in it, whether it's
• 5:05
  good or bad, you know, that's where you have to check in and
• 5:08
  make sure of it because the consistency works in the
• 5:11
  positive and the negative, you know, there's always a result.
• 5:13
  The question is, are you paying attention to the results?
• 5:15
  You can get past it. So I hope you just go and do
• 5:20
  some of this work and look at it and see for yourself, discover
• 5:23
  for yourself at your core and make that happen for yourself.
• 5:28
  I hope you all have a very blessed day and I will see see
• 5:30
  you all tomorrow. Bye.
