  chickens. Hey, good morning.
• 0:28
  From the chicken coop, everybody So today I want to talk to you
• 0:32
  about time and the specific angle on time today.
• 0:36
  The Buddha is quoted as having said, the problem is, you think
• 0:40
  you have time? Such a hard phrase to here,
• 0:43
  right? The problem is you think you
• 0:45
  have time? And in the big scheme of things,
• 0:49
  we all believe we have time to do the things we want to do.
• 0:52
  We all believe that we are going to have the time to take the
• 0:55
  vacation by the RV. Go on the trip.
• 0:59
  Write the book. Look, you know, have the kids
• 1:02
  get the dog, do whatever it is that we might want to do.
• 1:06
  But really do we have time. And the question that this is a
• 1:11
  very big question for you to contemplate today is all really,
• 1:17
  it comes down to, what are you putting your focus on and if
• 1:20
  something is truly important to you, are you making the time in
• 1:24
  your life for it? Because none of us are here for
• 1:27
  a guaranteed amount of time. Now, them, none of us know when
• 1:30
  our expiration date is even those that have been told they
• 1:33
  have an expiration date, don't Really know if that's true and
• 1:37
  it doesn't mean that it will be true.
• 1:38
  Just because another human says, it does not make it true.
• 1:42
  And we get very hung up on the fact that we will put things off
• 1:47
  and put things off and put things off because we are
• 1:50
  dealing with minutiae. We are dealing with things that
• 1:53
  are you know everyday stuff like doing laundry and cleaning and
• 1:59
  you know taking care of paying bills and doing all the crazy
• 2:02
  stuff that humans have to do in our daily I was to quote on
• 2:07
  quote survived and those things end up eating us up and they
• 2:11
  take up our mental space. They take up our capacity and
• 2:15
  put us in a place of just mostly overwhelmed because there's so
• 2:19
  many of those menial tasks around us all the time that we
• 2:22
  forget about the stuff that is on, maybe the bucket list, maybe
• 2:27
  it, you call it the bucket list, maybe you don't.
• 2:29
  I don't have a bucket list, but I have definitely, I have a list
• 2:33
  of things that will be done. One and my lifetime and planning
• 2:39
  them all out. And the challenge we have is we
• 2:43
  think we have time and we put them off.
• 2:45
  And we say, well, I'll get to that next year or I will get to
• 2:48
  that in a five years and we put things on a spectrum.
• 2:53
  Assuming we will have all this time and the reality is we don't
• 2:59
  we don't have all this time, life goes by very quickly,
• 3:03
  anybody who has gone from the age of 25 to 50 understands how
• 3:09
  quickly life goes by. That feels that span of time in
• 3:13
  digits seems like a long time. But the truth is, it goes by in
• 3:18
  a heartbeat, it goes by. When you see it, you know,
• 3:21
  you're all of a sudden your kids that you had when you were in
• 3:24
  your 20s are now in their 20s. And you're going, holy cow.
• 3:28
  How did this happen? And you're being presented with
• 3:31
  the fact that they're having children and you're going to be
• 3:33
  a grandparent near like how can I be a grandpa?
• 3:35
  Parent. I still feel like I'm a kid and
• 3:38
  there's this shock in you that said oh my gosh and even if
• 3:43
  you're not think about the time even if you're young and you're
• 3:45
  listening to this, think about the time you were in high school
• 3:48
  to now that you're in your 20s that is a chunk of time and it
• 3:52
  feels like it went by just in a snap of a finger.
• 3:55
  So this this concept of time that we have it screws with us
• 4:00
  and it makes us think. Oh yeah, I'll get to it.
• 4:03
  I'll get to it, I'll get to it. But the reason I wanted to have
• 4:06
  this conversation with you today is the exact reason why I'm out
• 4:10
  here in the chicken coop recording.
• 4:12
  Because I had put this off and put this off and put this off.
• 4:16
  And I ran into this quote, in one of my books, I have it
• 4:20
  written down multiple times throughout my journals, my
• 4:23
  notebooks, everything. The problem is, you think you
• 4:26
  have time? The problem is, you think you
• 4:27
  have time? And I've always been heavily
• 4:29
  moved by the quote, over the years.
• 4:32
  I've done things, I've taken trips.
• 4:34
  I've I jumped into jobs and done stuff that people thought were
• 4:40
  absolutely insane going to work for Tony Robbins and giving up
• 4:42
  advertising and everything else. Everyone thought, what are you
• 4:45
  doing? It was based around this.
• 4:48
  The problem is, you think you have time because I lost my dad
• 4:52
  when he was 57 years old. And to me, he was so young and
• 4:57
  he said, you know, when he was, he knew he was Ill.
• 5:00
  He said, well, I've had a really great life and I can't imagine,
• 5:05
  And I can't imagine what that must have felt like because I
• 5:10
  still feel like I have so much to do and I can't believe that.
• 5:15
  Now at that age I'm sitting there going, holy cow, I can't
• 5:19
  imagine what he must have felt like because I feel like I have
• 5:22
  so much more that I want to do. So when I come back to this
• 5:26
  whole thing, the problem is, you think you have time now?
• 5:29
  I recognize, I don't. So this was one of these things
• 5:32
  that I had talked about doing having chickens.
• 5:35
  The major force in my life to happiness and having a having
• 5:41
  them just be a part of my everyday life again and I made
• 5:45
  it happen and when it came up to doing that the podcast and I had
• 5:49
  talked about doing it for so long, as I've said another
• 5:52
  podcast, this was my natural like it just went off and it was
• 5:56
  like a natural Bells going off and saying yes this is it go do
• 6:00
  it in the chicken coop and ever since I made the decision it's
• 6:04
  been every single day. Since then and I have not
• 6:06
  regretted it at all but it put me in a place where I had to
• 6:12
  think about well if you're not going to do it now or when are
• 6:15
  you going to do it? Because the problem is you think
• 6:17
  you have time so you either make the time or you sit there and
• 6:21
  think about when will it be time?
• 6:23
  And I think that's the conundrum that you have to ponder today if
• 6:27
  you're not going to do it, when will you do it?
• 6:29
  When will you make the time? Because time goes by quickly and
• 6:33
  the problem is we think we have lots of And we don't.
• 6:36
  So if there are things that just you've always wanted to do and
• 6:40
  there are things that you've always wanted to experience.
• 6:42
  And there are things that you've always wanted to say, you tried,
• 6:46
  even if it's sitting down and doing something as solo is
• 6:49
  writing a book, whatever it might be, you have to make the
• 6:52
  choice to say, now is the time and make those things happen
• 6:58
  because if you wait for the time to show up, I promise you it
• 7:01
  won't. It's just like, there's never a
• 7:03
  good time to have a kid or buy a house or A puppy, whatever it
• 7:06
  might be it. This is all about what you put
• 7:09
  your focus on in your intent. So don't go down the road of
• 7:12
  constantly being under the illusion that you think you have
• 7:15
  time because it's not promised to anybody.
• 7:19
  So figure out what special to you and make sure you understand
• 7:23
  that I want to do this, because it's important to me and I'm
• 7:27
  going to make the time. I'm not just going to wait for
• 7:29
  the time. I hope you guys have a blessed
• 7:31
  day and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
• 7:05
  A puppy, whatever it might be it.
• 7:08
  This is all about what you put your focus on in your intent.
• 7:11
  So don't go down the road of constantly being under the
• 7:14
  illusion that you think you have time because it's not promised
• 7:17
  to anybody. So figure out what special to
• 7:21
  you and make sure you understand that I want to do this, because
• 7:26
  it's important to me and I'm going to make the time.
• 7:28
  I'm not just going to wait for the time.
• 7:30
  I hope you guys have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 7:32
  Bye.
