• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, so today we are talking about the curse of knowledge
• 0:34
  curse of knowledge. If you've never heard of it
• 0:36
  basically boils down to one. Simple fact sometimes when you
• 0:40
  have a vast amount of knowledge even a decent amount of
• 0:43
  knowledge you become let's say Arrogant with that knowledge and
• 0:47
  you think you know everything or you are unwilling to take on new
• 0:52
  information and you know, the definition of intelligence is
• 0:56
  really to be able to take on more information.
• 0:59
  But when you have This curse of knowledge so to speak, you get
• 1:04
  stuck in what you know and you stay in what you know and you
• 1:07
  don't try to grow what you know or move what, you know, into a
• 1:14
  wider space so to speak. So how does this affect you?
• 1:17
  Well in my opinion you have to always stay curious.
• 1:20
  If you don't stay curious, you're screwed and boils down to
• 1:24
  that, you have to stay curious, you have to continue to ask
• 1:28
  questions, you have to continue to be that.
• 1:30
  Person that says, I am going to fundamentally continue to learn
• 1:34
  my entire life because if I don't currently Celine agrees
• 1:38
  with that, she's very loud right now.
• 1:41
  If you don't continue to learn, then what do you have?
• 1:44
  You have just that scope that you are stuck in your, in your
• 1:49
  own little Vortex and that is not going to help you get
• 1:52
  anywhere. I can promise you that because
• 1:54
  you'll just stay stuck in his innocence of fixed mindset.
• 1:58
  Because that's really the definition between Growth
• 2:01
  mindset, in a fixed mindset. A growth mindset says, I'm going
• 2:04
  to continue to learn be curious. I'm going to continue to grow
• 2:07
  and I'm going to continue to expand my knowledge base and
• 2:11
  move on. When a fixed mindset is in
• 2:14
  place. There's none of that.
• 2:16
  Basically it says, I know what I know and I'm going to stick to
• 2:18
  what I know and I'm not going to expand and I'm not going to grow
• 2:22
  and honestly if I was to ask any of you, if you would like to
• 2:25
  have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset, 90% of you are going to
• 2:29
  say, oh no. No, I want the growth mindset.
• 2:31
  Maybe even a hundred percent of you will say, I want the growth
• 2:34
  mindset. Well one, because it sounds
• 2:36
  sexy. You're right.
• 2:37
  And two because it is because you always want to be growing
• 2:39
  and expanding because that's the Human Condition.
• 2:42
  We want to do that for ourselves.
• 2:44
  So this other factor that comes in here.
• 2:48
  This crazy other factor that says, well, sometimes the
• 2:51
  smarter you get the stupider. You get is, is so prevalent in
• 2:57
  this world right now, it's everywhere.
• 3:00
  People believe that. Oh, they're right and they are
• 3:03
  stuck on what they are right about and their void of
• 3:06
  curiosity, their void of trying to learn more and see more.
• 3:11
  And that is called the curse of knowledge.
• 3:13
  My friends you have to stop and and say to yourself, wait a
• 3:17
  minute, I'm stuck in my own Paradox.
• 3:20
  I am here and I have to say this happens to all of us.
• 3:24
  Myself, included you guys hear me say that often because I want
• 3:27
  you to know. It happens to me too.
• 3:30
  And you can't just get stuck in it, whether it's something
• 3:33
  silly, like, you think, you know, something about a plant?
• 3:36
  Like I'll be growing something. Oh no, it's not the way it's
• 3:38
  supposed to go but I'm stuck in. What?
• 3:40
  I know as opposed to be like, oh, wait a second, that's could
• 3:46
  be something different. I have to look at this.
• 3:48
  I have to take on new knowledge. I have to go ask questions, I
• 3:51
  have to be curious and then all of a sudden, I find out things
• 3:53
  that I didn't know and you just, you just have to be willing
• 3:58
  again for the Curiosity factor and Can't stay in that place of
• 4:02
  saying, oh no I'm going to stay in this curse of knowledge
• 4:06
  Factor. So the biggest most important
• 4:10
  thing that you can do to help yourself out with this is to
• 4:13
  train the Curiosity Factor. So often times people will say,
• 4:17
  well, how do I get rid of something?
• 4:19
  And I say, well, you know, it's not about just getting rid of
• 4:23
  something. It's about making another muscle
• 4:25
  bigger. Because when you make the other
• 4:26
  muscle bigger, it's a heck of a lot easier to notice it.
• 4:29
  Recognized it and Of through it. When it does show up because
• 4:32
  again, just like certain emotions on our bus, we can't
• 4:35
  eliminate them. You're never going to eliminate
• 4:38
  the the curse of knowledge. It's just there but you can
• 4:42
  build curiosity way high so that it takes over and that's what
• 4:46
  we're talking about. We want curiosity to be built
• 4:49
  up. So it takes over and we don't
• 4:51
  have these conditions so to speak.
• 4:54
  So great ways to build your curiosity, reading reading is a
• 4:59
  huge, huge thing. And I'm not talking about
• 5:02
  reading the news, stop reading the news, read other things,
• 5:06
  that fill your mind cross-pollinate.
• 5:08
  If you are like, let's say you're a Knitter or you're a
• 5:11
  needle pointer, or you're a seamstress and you love to do
• 5:14
  all that kind of stuff with fabrics and Yarns and all of
• 5:17
  that. You could cross pollinate your
• 5:19
  skills over to painting. If you're a painter, you could
• 5:22
  cross pollinates from using watercolors up to using oils,
• 5:27
  which is a completely different thing you could start doing
• 5:29
  stained. Glass, if you're someone that's
• 5:32
  a flower arranger, you could start baking.
• 5:35
  You see, you can cross-pollinate and get curious.
• 5:38
  You can start to change. I have someone who loves to bake
• 5:41
  right now and she just found out that one of her cousins is
• 5:44
  gluten-free and or has Silly acts and she now has to be
• 5:48
  gluten-free. So she has completely changed
• 5:51
  her baking and she's trying to do everything gluten-free so she
• 5:54
  can help out and send recipes to her cousin and send her a
• 5:57
  surprises. So she's cross-pollinating
• 6:00
  button. To being just frustrated.
• 6:01
  Like she was in the beginning saying, all these recipes suck.
• 6:04
  She's like, okay, I've got to get curious about how to make
• 6:07
  these better. I've got to try something
• 6:09
  different and that's the winning Factor.
• 6:12
  So for me, I love to cross pollinate all these skills
• 6:15
  because I love to do a lot of things and just like the
• 6:19
  chickens people will say, oh, you know, it seems like you
• 6:22
  spoil your chickens. Well part of that is based
• 6:25
  around the fact that everything I read in the beginning when I
• 6:28
  was super, super curious. Again, I hadn't done chicken
• 6:32
  since I was a kid. I read everything that I could
• 6:35
  get my hands on all different types of books.
• 6:38
  And one of the main factors for chickens is if they have a
• 6:41
  really strong diet and if they have a really clean environment,
• 6:45
  they will thrive in different ways and you won't have all
• 6:49
  these other little problems that a lot of chickens have.
• 6:51
  So I made it a point to take that knowledge on and that would
• 6:55
  have been something. I did not know based on what's
• 6:58
  out there readily and Was able to create a different
• 7:01
  environment and I don't have these things, knock on wood, you
• 7:05
  know. I don't have these things, but
• 7:07
  I'm just telling you and this goes across the board for all
• 7:11
  kinds of things. So watch out for your curse of
• 7:14
  knowledge. My friends make sure you're
• 7:16
  aware of what you're doing with it and make sure you do a great
• 7:19
  job putting it in check. All right.
• 7:22
  I will see you all tomorrow and I hope you have a blessed day.
• 7:24
  Bye.
