- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30Coupe today, I want to share with you my personal definition
- 0:34of hell when the person you are meets the person, you could have
- 0:38been ouch that one got me when I heard it years ago, probably
- 0:43many years ago now. I think that was a big driver
- 0:46for me to focus on and really pay attention to because I have
- 0:51to say it is one of the things that drives me forward.
- 0:56Most of all in thinking about the fact that geez who can Be,
- 1:01you know, when you just stop and you start to think about things
- 1:04like that and say to yourself, you know, am I being the person?
- 1:08I was meant to be, or am I being a person that I have been
- 1:12conditioned to be? There is a huge difference
- 1:16between those, and I think that's what I personally know,
- 1:22everyone has their own thing, but that they want to focus on
- 1:26or that they want to step into, but I often will see people and
- 1:33they say, well, I'm entitled to blah, blah blah and yeah, no
- 1:37one's telling you you're not. You can do with your life,
- 1:40whatever you choose to do. You can decide you don't want to
- 1:45do any of the things to, you know, take care of yourself.
- 1:49Let's say let's say it's a physical thing and you're like I
- 1:51don't want to confine to the societal stuff.
- 1:56That's out there. Yep.
- 1:57You are completely entitled to do that.
- 2:00I don't do. That when it comes to clothing
- 2:02and the things that I wear, I'm very, very, very much tomboyish.
- 2:08I guess this is the way you would call it.
- 2:09As I was always called as a kid but I don't care because it's
- 2:12genuinely how I feel, I feel best in baggy pants and
- 2:16ponytails and tank, tops, and sneakers.
- 2:20I mean, honestly, that is the truth.
- 2:22And I'm not confining myself to something that someone else is
- 2:27telling me, I should, or shouldn't do, because it's
- 2:30mystical. Cole anyway.
- 2:31What they're putting out there is just, you don't have to hear
- 2:34it. Nobody comes to my house in the
- 2:35morning and says those things. If I'm allowing that to come in,
- 2:38that's just me allowing that to come in.
- 2:41Have I been teased about it before?
- 2:43Of course, did it bother me at those times?
- 2:46Yes, because I was still vulnerable about it but the
- 2:49reality is once I heard this you know the definition of hell is
- 2:54when the person you are meets the person you could have been.
- 2:57I decide you know what, I don't want to be the person that gets
- 2:59riled by Stuff. I don't want to be the person
- 3:02that lets that happen. You know, I have people that
- 3:05think it's very weird that I have the chickens and spoil them
- 3:07the way that I do and take care of them.
- 3:09The way that I do, that's okay, this is the person I choose to
- 3:13be and the person that I could have been is developing every
- 3:18single day choosing myself to look to Greater and more
- 3:24expansive, thoughts and things to do for myself is part of what
- 3:30Makes me just feel excited about life.
- 3:33So when I when I think about how we have this opportunity we are
- 3:39given a huge opportunity being here and growing and we are
- 3:43given this awareness that the person you are right in this
- 3:48minute is not the person that you have to stay every day.
- 3:52You get to change every day you get to shift for better work for
- 3:56worse. You can grow.
- 3:58You can stagnate All of it is choices.
- 4:02You can make this be whatever you want, but that phrase that
- 4:08one little phrase, the person you are meets that definition,
- 4:13hell is when the person you are meets the person you could have
- 4:16been. I think about that.
- 4:18And I'm like well who do I think I could have been and I stopped.
- 4:22And I really say to myself why am I living on track?
- 4:25Or if I just kind of stepped into a place in the world where
- 4:29I'm accepting, Ting, what's there?
- 4:31And and the second, I start to think about accepting things,
- 4:35I'm like, I don't know. I want to I want to examine that
- 4:37and that's why it's so important to examine this for yourself.
- 4:41You know. Oftentimes I'm in the middle of
- 4:44doing a program right now while I was in the middle of one and
- 4:48then I'm switching to another one because I'm pushing myself,
- 4:53really, really hard. Maybe that's why I have this
- 4:55damn cold but, but in any event I'm pushing myself.
- 5:00Of physically because I was getting these messages from my
- 5:04body saying that I had, I was, I was experiencing pain in my
- 5:09knees and I wasn't, I was while I walk constantly.
- 5:12One could say, oh, it's because you're pushing yourself walking
- 5:15too hard. Maybe but I didn't want to
- 5:17accept that. So I was like no the person I
- 5:20really want to be wants to be this main this really fit
- 5:23person. So I just cut all these things.
- 5:26Out of my diet With a Little Help from My Friends.
- 5:30And I cut them all out and I'm like, okay so you know here's
- 5:34the thing, this is a experiment I'm experimenting right now, if
- 5:39it doesn't work, I can always go back and do something different.
- 5:41Because the person I want to be wants to be healthy.
- 5:45The person that I think I could be wants to be even healthier
- 5:48stripping things. Out of my diet has taught me.
- 5:50That the pain was a message from my body saying you got to do
- 5:54away with some of this sugar and yes, what the sugar is gone and
- 5:59the pain is gone. Wow.
- 6:00What a concept and I love that that happened because it just
- 6:05reinforces again interpretation of messages matters.
- 6:10So I'm going to challenge you guys to really think about that
- 6:14definition of hell because it can affect so many areas of your
- 6:18life when you sit and really ask yourself about it.
- 6:21You know the definition of hell is when the person you are meets
- 6:25the person you could have been what are you going to do with
- 6:28that? Because I don't ever want to get
- 6:30there. Air and have God say to me.
- 6:32Listen if you hadn't just been so freaking stubborn and you had
- 6:35done this, you would have been skyrocketing.
- 6:38Well guess what? I am not taking that chance.
- 6:40My friends. I hope you have a blessed day
- 6:43and I will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
- 6:30Air and have God say to me. Listen if you hadn't just been
- 6:33so freaking stubborn and you had done this, you would have been
- 6:37skyrocketing. Well guess what?
- 6:39I am not taking that chance. My friends.
- 6:41I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
