  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Today is all about mental attitudes versus mental
• 0:34
  capacities. So your mental capacity has
• 0:39
  absolutely nothing to do with your mental attitude and vice
• 0:42
  versa. Mental attitudes obviously are
• 0:46
  all about mindset. Mental capacities are all about
• 0:50
  what you can learn, not what you have learned, but what you can
• 0:53
  learn. Your capacity and sometimes we
• 0:56
  get very confused between the two of these.
• 0:58
  And you know, obviously I, I am a firm believer, I am a 100%
• 1:03
  firm believer that you should always be learning something,
• 1:07
  always be learning something, doesn't matter what it is.
• 1:10
  But if you're always learning something, you're inviting a
• 1:13
  different energy into your body and you're increasing your
• 1:15
  mental capacities all the time. You're talking about the fact
• 1:19
  that you're pushing your brain to be able to grow.
• 1:22
  So you're keeping your neuroplasticity, you're pushing
• 1:25
  the edge of the volume on that. And that's what's so important.
• 1:29
  The capacities for it actually diminish when you don't use it,
• 1:33
  which is what's so funny about it.
• 1:35
  And we all know, like I, I have a lot of clients who are
• 1:38
  Realtors. And what's funny about that is
• 1:41
  they'll often talk about the fact that a house was not lived
• 1:44
  in. And one would think that if the
• 1:46
  house was not lived in, it would be pristine.
• 1:49
  But you know what happens? The house actually starts to
• 1:51
  fall apart. The house actually starts to
• 1:53
  suffer from neglect. Now, the people that lived in
• 1:56
  the house might not do anything with it.
• 1:58
  They might not be doing anything at all with it.
• 2:00
  But all of a sudden, a house that doesn't have energy in it,
• 2:03
  it starts to just diminish and it starts to fall apart.
• 2:08
  Well, guess what? That's what actually happens to
• 2:10
  your mental capacities if you are not pushing yourself with
• 2:14
  them all the time. Nothing is more important than
• 2:17
  learning new things. Because when you do that, it
• 2:21
  comes with a whole different energy.
• 2:22
  It comes with a whole different understanding.
• 2:24
  It comes with just, I mean, to me, it's just grand outcomes.
• 2:27
  If you can't tell, I'm always very excited about learning new
• 2:29
  things and it doesn't matter what it is.
• 2:32
  It's why I paint. It's why I this year I'm taking
• 2:35
  on fermenting things differently kombuchas and working towards
• 2:39
  making bread. Sounds so silly, but bread.
• 2:42
  Bread is a science. Well, once I finish this whole
• 2:44
  30, then I can make bread right now.
• 2:47
  No, none of that. So the point is you have, you
• 2:52
  have to realize that the capacities that you're looking
• 2:55
  for come with a push. So first part of this is push,
• 2:59
  push, push yourself. Learn something new.
• 3:02
  I had a client recently who took, I recommended a book to
• 3:05
  and he said to me, boy, this book is hard for me to read.
• 3:08
  I'm not enjoying it. And I said, if it's hard for you
• 3:10
  to read, that's the exact reason you should be reading it,
• 3:13
  because you want to push yourself.
• 3:15
  It doesn't matter if you don't understand it.
• 3:17
  There have been plenty of times, Neville Goddard, one of my most
• 3:20
  favorite mentors out there, read his books and you will your
• 3:23
  brain will hurt. Your head actually hurts from
• 3:27
  reading the stuff this guy wrote.
• 3:29
  It's just incredibly deep and you have to pause and really be
• 3:33
  present with it. But that push, that shove is
• 3:37
  there. I I will read it and then I will
• 3:40
  say I have no clue what I just read and I will go back and
• 3:42
  reread it and I will do that. Over and over and over and over
• 3:45
  and over and over and over. I have spent years just reading
• 3:48
  Neville, nothing else because I didn't.
• 3:51
  I didn't grasp it the way I knew it should be.
• 3:53
  And even to this day, I will still go back and read and
• 3:56
  listen to his books because I know I missed things and I push
• 4:01
  my mental capacities. So it's learning new things that
• 4:03
  are easier, learning new things that are harder, pushing
• 4:06
  yourself in into being a better person.
• 4:09
  First part of that. Now mental attitudes, well,
• 4:12
  that's all about the mindset piece.
• 4:13
  And we talk about that all the time.
• 4:15
  But your mindset is so critical to everything that you do.
• 4:20
  Every single thing that you do has to be run through the
• 4:24
  filters of what you decide is right you, what you decide.
• 4:28
  And you have to realize that the more you decide that you're
• 4:32
  going to have a positive attitude, the more that you
• 4:34
  decide you're going to be the person that is focused and happy
• 4:39
  and joyous and grateful and have that good attitude, the more
• 4:43
  great things are going to come to you.
• 4:44
  And the more you're going to be able to put yourself into the
• 4:49
  place of receiving them because you have that great attitude.
• 4:53
  It is fundamental, my friends, fundamental.
• 4:56
  So if you really want to make the biggest shift in your life,
• 5:00
  you have to recognize that the two things, the mental attitude
• 5:03
  versus the mental capacities, yes, they're two completely
• 5:07
  different things and you need them both.
• 5:10
  You need to constantly be pushing that neuroplasticity.
• 5:14
  You need to constantly be pushing yourself so that you can
• 5:19
  attain what you're looking for. So I hope you have a blessed
• 5:23
  day. Go learn something fabulous
• 5:24
  today and have a great attitude about it and I will see you all
• 5:27
  tomorrow. Bye.
