In this short motivational monologue recorded in Los Angeles on December 6th, the speaker delivers a "Moment of Yes" for the day. He shares an idea he heard from a friend named Hollister, who compared a chaotic, stressful situation to an orchestra warming up: many musicians playing disjointed notes that sound like noise, yet when they come together in performance they create beautiful harmony. The speaker uses this analogy to remind listeners that moments of chaos or disjointedness in life can feel terrible, but with patience and a shift in perspective they can be seen as part of a larger, harmonious whole. He challenges the audience to identify something in their own lives that feels chaotic, and to consciously shift their thinking so that it aligns into unity, framing this as a useful Monday exercise. The tone is conversational and encouraging, with an enthusiastic, supportive sentiment throughout.

Good morning everyone. Here's your Moment of Yes for Monday, December 6th. Hello from Los Angeles for the next 12 days out here in LA. I'm getting to experience Christmas LA style. So, all right, here you go. Here is your Moment of Yes for today. I am having to share an idea that Hollister shared on a walk the other day which I thought was really, really powerful as I thought about it. I'm like, oh, that's a really cool idea. I got to share that with the Moment of Yes. And so she was— we were walking the dog, she was sharing this idea. She was kind of in a chaotic sort of stressful situation. And she said the best way to describe it would be you're listening to the orchestra warm up before a show, right? So imagine the orchestra pit, every musician is warming up their own instrument, but together, right, it sounds like chaos. It sounds horribly, right? You wouldn't purchase an album. Of just an orchestra warming up. You wouldn't even think that's music. But when those different pieces come together and they're in symphony with one another and you're listening to them perform as a symphony, it's beautiful. It's world-class. It's poetic. It's spiritual because they're all in harmony with one another. And so I thought about that. I'm like, oh, that's such a great reminder that something that can be so beautiful when it's disjointed or out of context can sound horrendous. And to me, I feel like that's just a good reminder for us when things in our life or people in our life or moments in our life feel chaotic or they feel disjointed. It's easy to want to discredit the person or discredit the situation and devalue it and just dismiss it, right? The opportunity is to, to be patient and to see the value in it. And then most importantly is to see how it all fits together. Symphonically, right? In harmony, in unity. And so the question then becomes, hey, what is something in your life today, right now, or maybe this week, that's feeling a little chaotic, feeling a little out of place, feeling like the orchestra pit that's all warming up on their own? And what shift do you need to make that can shift that into a harmonious everything working together for one? Because it's usually just our thought. We have to shift our perspective, our thought, in order to bring everything back into alignment with harmony. So that's your challenge for today. What, what better way to do it than on a Monday? Yeah, we all need that on a Monday. Awesome, guys. Thank you, Hollister, for that inspiration. And that's your moment of yes for today, everybody. Have an awesome day. Bye.
