• 0:29
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, we're talking today about looking at both sides of the
• 0:35
  equation, duality in whatever it is that you're coming up with.
• 0:40
  I had a conversation with my daughter this week about this
• 0:44
  very subject, which is why I decided to talk to you guys
• 0:46
  about it because she came with an idea that she was having and
• 0:52
  I said, it's a great idea. So let's consider all of it just
• 0:56
  like I would, if I was talking to a client because this is an
• 1:00
  idea. That is a financially based
• 1:02
  idea. She's got something she wanted
• 1:04
  to work on, and as she brought it up, of course, you have to
• 1:08
  look at both sides of it. And I started to explain it to
• 1:11
  her and I could tell that she thought I was being the pinned
• 1:14
  to her balloon and I said, wait stop.
• 1:15
  I would do this with any client. I want you to realize every
• 1:18
  situation has a duality to it and it's important that you
• 1:22
  recognize the duality in order to be able to manage it.
• 1:26
  She said, what exactly are you talking about?
• 1:28
  And I said, it doesn't matter what idea you come up, With it
• 1:31
  it doesn't it doesn't matter what it is, it could be.
• 1:34
  I'm going to cook a fancy French dinner for my family.
• 1:38
  Okay, that sounds amazing. What is The Duality to it?
• 1:43
  Well, there's going to be a big mess to clean up.
• 1:46
  There's always, always always something that has a dark piece
• 1:52
  of it. If we think of it in terms of
• 1:54
  light and dark, there's that sweet every day.
• 1:58
  We have a dawn but we also have Sunset for every day that, you
• 2:03
  know, it rains. There's a sunny day.
• 2:05
  There's always a duality in nature and as human beings, we
• 2:09
  can't get by that even in our situations.
• 2:12
  And, you know, it's a really, really good thing.
• 2:14
  I've joked around about this subject lightly before talking
• 2:17
  about how Elmo had this whole thing about wanting Christmas
• 2:20
  every single day. And then he realized when he had
• 2:22
  it every single day, it's stocked and he didn't want it
• 2:24
  every day, because it made it not special.
• 2:26
  And this is in that vein. But this is this goes a little
• 2:30
  bit. Deeper in the sense that we are
• 2:33
  talking about really being able to have a pragmatic mind and
• 2:37
  look at something from the position of saying hey hold on
• 2:41
  here. I have to just stop for a
• 2:42
  second. I have to really think this
• 2:44
  through because I know there will be things that will come
• 2:46
  up, that will not be easy to conquer.
• 2:49
  There will be things that will need to be addressed.
• 2:51
  There will be things that I have to navigate and if, you know
• 2:56
  them ahead of time and you can prepare for them then Better off
• 3:02
  simple example the chickens. Okay.
• 3:04
  If you do I could have just put them out here and I could have
• 3:07
  said okay here's their house and we're going to free-range them
• 3:09
  all. But at the time the property
• 3:12
  wasn't fenced in and they didn't have, they need to have a run.
• 3:15
  So at least we got the Run portion of it done.
• 3:18
  Then we got neighbors and they had dogs, we were like, okay, we
• 3:22
  can trust their dogs, we don't know their dogs, so that made us
• 3:25
  have an urgency around getting the fence up.
• 3:29
  There's always Going to be something that you have to do
• 3:34
  with your projects that you might not want to do that as
• 3:38
  more work than you want to do that.
• 3:39
  You have to look at and brainstorming.
• 3:42
  That ahead of time is absolutely one of the gifts that the
• 3:46
  Universe has given us being able to be creative for seeing what
• 3:50
  could be awesome. And what also needs to be
• 3:53
  addressed. There is no question in my mind
• 3:55
  that that is a gift for us and that we have no choice.
• 3:58
  We absolutely have to take it. Use it as the tool.
• 4:01
  It's meant to be. So your creativity, which we
• 4:05
  talked about a lot is meant to give you the ability with using,
• 4:09
  with your imagination to be able to say, okay well what are some
• 4:12
  of the possibilities here that could not work?
• 4:14
  What are some of the possibilities that will cause me
• 4:17
  stress grief, otherwise? And once you start identifying
• 4:20
  that boy, you are handedly in a better spot.
• 4:23
  So whatever your project is, whatever you're working on.
• 4:27
  It is okay and and self development has really screwed.
• 4:30
  Good people up and a lot of this because it will say, oh, well,
• 4:33
  you just have to be, you know, think on the bright side, that's
• 4:35
  what everybody believes. But the truth is, your power is
• 4:38
  in being able to come back to that side after you go and say,
• 4:43
  okay, well, what's the stuff that could go wrong?
• 4:45
  What's the stuff that I need to address?
• 4:47
  What's the things I need to pay attention to?
• 4:48
  Because if you can't do that then you're setting yourselves
• 4:51
  up for absolute disaster potentially.
• 4:55
  But at least irritation and then, oh man, I didn't even
• 4:59
  think about that. I mean how many times In your
• 5:00
  life. Have you heard yourself?
• 5:01
  Say, I didn't even think about that, and that's why.
• 5:05
  Sometimes it's really, really beneficial to have someone to
• 5:09
  talk it through with, as long as there's somebody that's going to
• 5:12
  be on the positive side. Like I ended up doing this with
• 5:15
  my daughter, the conversation turned completely around and we
• 5:18
  ended up coming up with an even better idea because she was able
• 5:21
  to look at the conditions and reverse engineer it.
• 5:25
  So, you know, sometimes that's an even better way to do it.
• 5:28
  You look at the end result. You say, what do I want?
• 5:30
  Aunt. Here's what I want.
• 5:31
  And then, all right, if I'm living this life, what can I put
• 5:36
  into this? What do I want to do with this?
• 5:39
  And it stops you from making mistakes that you wouldn't
• 5:42
  necessarily even want to entertain?
• 5:45
  So think about this, really, really think about the duality
• 5:49
  of it. Think about how you have to see
• 5:52
  the other side of it. There is nothing wrong with
• 5:54
  having those thoughts. It's not being pessimistic, it's
• 5:57
  being in that frame of mind of saying, I'm looking at the whole
• 6:00
  thing and then I can make decisions can work myself
• 6:04
  through it. All right, my friends.
• 6:05
  I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 6:08
  Bye. thing and then I can make decisions can work myself
• 6:04
  through it. All right, my friends.
• 6:05
  I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 6:08
  Bye.
