house you might hear dogs barking and stuff like that uh coming on a tiny bit late today because
we're just getting situated in the new house but uh what i wanted to talk about today you guys
is speaking life and plants okay this is a weird one but it's very very true right so like on
mondays i like to talk about mindset related stuff but sometimes it slips into a little bit further
in the week but today i definitely want to talk about it and uh it's because it's it this one
you know isolated situation is so bizarre but it's so real that uh i have to share it with
you guys because it's just a microcosm of what we can do in our world right and so uh i used to be
hey carrie i see you there i used to be uh somebody who killed plants
if you're also somebody who killed plants let me know
it was i used to love like whenever i would go to people's houses that had plants and they had
them everywhere i would walk in and just be like oh i love it here right like it just it
feels so good and i just love being in a room with plants but it was never something that i could do
myself and uh and that is something that it was a belief that i had i believed it so much and i
continued to tell it to myself over and over and over again guys i kill plants i kill plants i
kill plants and i for sure i did you know like as soon as i would get a plant i would bring it home
and even if i watered it right even if i gave it sun and watered it it would still die
here's the thing somebody sent me a plant
for christmas last year and i was like that's probably the worst gift you could ever get me
here's something for you to kill like but and you know i joked about it at the time but then
also i was like you know what i'm gonna turn over a new proverbial leaf and i'm gonna i'm gonna
keep this plant alive and not only am i gonna keep it alive but i'm gonna grow this plant and
to me it sounds so weird right like why do you think you can do that now but i chose right
i chose to do it and uh and so the plant now if you were to see it it's growing it's thriving
it's like three times as big as it was whenever i first got it i water it i
give it light i the most important thing is i speak life over it right and it's not like
you know i don't go up to it and say hey little plant you're going to grow big and strong and that
sort of thing although i'm not saying that that's not a thing that would be helpful but that's not
what i did i spoke life over me i spoke life over me as somebody that grows plants i was like i am
going to grow this plant i am going to be able to do this and so here's this sounds totally
weird and i know that it sounds totally weird but we speak life or we speak death right in
every situation and it's over ourselves it's over the people around us it's just this is a microcosm
and an explanation of that i suppose and so when i told myself i'm going to be growing this plant
not only did i turn into somebody that grows plants but plants are alive too and i think
that there's in some way the this totally sounds weird but i feel like in some way the plant knew
i was going to take care of it right so it didn't uh approach the situation like it was going to die
whereas before it was like i'm going to water you but i kill plants you know there's just there's so
much to unpack inside of this mysterious world of speaking life and speaking death and
there's a lot of you know uh psychological things like i said that we can unpack about it all of it
being biblical by the way but there's so many psychological pieces of it that we can unpack
that you can really do that on your own time but really i think the fast and the easy button
is just know it just know it just know that you're speaking life or you're speaking death
over yourself at any given time so my plant is no longer it's it's not it never even got close
to dying like never it never was even failing at all it's just growing and thriving and now
you guys i have six plants in my house and today i'll go get some more plants this house
is going to be full of plants and that is that is who i am now like i am now crazy plant lady
which i'm totally okay with because i love plants i love them and now i grow them and
i help them thrive and all of that right and so my my challenge to you is to think about
what is it in your world today that you've been telling yourself maybe forever that you can't do
what's the thing that you've been defining yourself as a person that doesn't
xyz or a person that fails at x y and z what is that thing and reimagine it as the truth
which is that you made that choice at one point and now let's make a new choice
what is your choice today you know what i'm saying so that is what we are doing today you guys uh
speaking life and plants i love you guys i'm popping out of here see you later
