  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning. We are very early in the garage.
• 0:32
  Piles of seeds, piles of trays, plants that have sprouted,
• 0:35
  plants that are getting planted, all kinds of things going on.
• 0:39
  This is an exceptionally busy time for me client wise, plant
• 0:44
  wise, garden wise, you name it it.
• 0:47
  There's a lot going on and there's a lot going on in the
• 0:49
  world right now. And I've had quite a few clients
• 0:54
  who have had a lot of things happening.
• 0:58
  Like a lot of some, some things are, are normal chaos and some
• 1:04
  things are unexpected chaos. But you know, it's sometimes it
• 1:08
  comes in waves and this wave, just like in the ocean, there
• 1:12
  are smaller waves and there are bigger waves like we could say
• 1:14
  the ocean. Always has.
• 1:16
  Waves. Sometimes it's they're small,
• 1:18
  sometimes they're big. It's just depending upon what it
• 1:21
  is. And right now, this is a time
• 1:23
  when the waves are very, very big and they seem to be going
• 1:27
  one after another after another with people and a lot of them
• 1:31
  are struggling with it. So in the midst of it being
• 1:36
  busy, busy as normal and this time of year is exceptionally
• 1:40
  busy, the, the, the waves are intense and people are getting
• 1:46
  hit and that puts a lot of pressure on them.
• 1:50
  It puts a lot of pressure on me to make sure that I'm helping as
• 1:54
  much as I possibly can and staying in in a good frame
• 1:59
  myself. And yesterday my daughter
• 2:02
  actually checked in on me as she does a bunch of assistant work
• 2:06
  for me. And she said, I, I have to ask
• 2:10
  you, are you, are you doing OK right now?
• 2:13
  Like are you OK? And I was like, yeah, I'm
• 2:15
  totally fine. And she said, OK, well, let me
• 2:18
  know if you need me to take care of anything.
• 2:21
  And I thought just knowing that I have that is like a very
• 2:24
  useful tool. And I know a lot of people don't
• 2:27
  have something like that, but I do and I'm very fortunate with
• 2:30
  that and, and I'm grateful for that often.
• 2:33
  And it, it really got me thinking about the fact that I
• 2:38
  rely so heavily on my internal belief system when these things
• 2:43
  happen. And I think the more my outside
• 2:47
  world becomes chaotic or the my clients outside world becomes
• 2:50
  chaotic, I hunker down on my inside world and believe, like
• 2:56
  wholeheartedly believe. No embody the fact that as that
• 3:01
  goes on, I know I'm part of this on purpose.
• 3:05
  Like I'm not saying it's in a mean way, like I did that on
• 3:08
  purpose. I'm saying I'm on purpose.
• 3:11
  Meaning I'm supposed to be part of this.
• 3:13
  So when someone says messages me and says hey, I just lost my job
• 3:18
  or hey, I just had a car accident or hey, I'm in the
• 3:21
  hospital or hey, and all these things are happening.
• 3:24
  They're not made-up. I am completely and totally part
• 3:29
  of that for a reason. And I know I'm supposed to be
• 3:33
  part of that. So instead of me just going like
• 3:37
  and in frustration, I go, OK, what we do right now is what is
• 3:42
  going to help move forward. We have a short period of time
• 3:45
  to get their heads straight, to get their actions straight, to
• 3:49
  put in the right framework. But that relies on a very heavy
• 3:54
  belief system that I embody behind the scenes, which is I'm
• 3:58
  supposed to be here, I'm supposed to be doing this.
• 4:01
  I'm supposed to be acting into this.
• 4:04
  This is not an accident. I am cared for, I am lifted up,
• 4:08
  I am guided, I am protected. I'm supposed to be part of it
• 4:14
  and because of that, I navigate it all as OK.
• 4:18
  This is just part of where we are right now.
• 4:21
  This is like the the morning walking out on the farm.
• 4:25
  You never know what you're going to walk into, but you know
• 4:28
  you're on the farm in that moment.
• 4:29
  I'm on the farm and trying to stay in that headspace of being
• 4:34
  in the moment. Yes, none of us know what's
• 4:37
  going to happen moment to moment.
• 4:38
  We really don't. We believe we do because we look
• 4:42
  for certainty and we are incredibly certainty driven
• 4:45
  creatures by nature. But we.
• 4:47
  Really don't know what's going to happen moment to moment.
• 4:51
  I read a story this morning that my friend sent over to me
• 4:56
  because it happened to be someone that she knew.
• 4:59
  And she said that a little boy choked in school and he passed
• 5:03
  away and no one could help him. Nobody could seem to save this
• 5:06
  little boy. And it was tragic.
• 5:08
  And she was like, pray for the family.
• 5:10
  And of course, immediately you, you think about this and you put
• 5:13
  them into your morning prayers and you think, gosh, this is
• 5:15
  terrible. And I stopped and I pause and I
• 5:20
  think those parents sent that little boy to school with the
• 5:24
  intent that he was going to come home from school safe and they
• 5:27
  will not have that happen. And we all pause and in those
• 5:31
  moments we get it. We go, ah, right.
• 5:33
  This is the impermanence of it all is here, but it, I, I think
• 5:39
  about that and that drives me internally to have that strong
• 5:43
  belief system all the time, as much as I as a human can because
• 5:48
  of my brain floats around it, it, it, but it gives you that
• 5:52
  belief that like, OK, I, I don't have to worry quite so much.
• 5:57
  I don't have to put this on this so much stress in my head
• 6:02
  because I have this belief system that says I'm guided, I'm
• 6:07
  present, I'm here and I'm going to do everything I can while I'm
• 6:10
  here because I don't know what's going to happen.
• 6:12
  Now that may sound crazy, but it is liberating in some way.
• 6:17
  At least it is for me. So the impermanence actually
• 6:21
  makes me braver. The impermanence actually makes
• 6:24
  me appreciate more. The impermanence of it all makes
• 6:27
  me believe even more in the spiritual side of it.
• 6:31
  So it's a duality that blends together, at least for me.
• 6:34
  And I wanted to share that with everybody because if you are
• 6:36
  going through a crazy time, if you are having difficulties, now
• 6:41
  is the time to embrace that and really hunker down in your
• 6:44
  beliefs and stop letting the outside chaos in because there's
• 6:48
  enough internal chaos. Control that and make it all
• 6:51
  about the spiritual side. All right, my friends, I hope
• 6:54
  you have a blessed day and I will see you on the other side
• 6:58
  of all the chaos. Bye.
