A speaker watches ants rebuild their crushed hills without complaint and uses it as a lesson: humans get stuck in ego and self-pity, but nature just adapts and acts. Remove the story you tell yourself, respond with purpose, and give yourself a moment of yes each day.
Good morning everyone. Here is your moment of yes for today. Happy Friday. I want to say hi to all of the golfers that I worked with yesterday. I'm sure none of which who are watching this video this morning. Awkward. So hello everyone. Happy Friday. Hope you guys are excited about the weekend. I know I am. Your moment of yes for today is every morning I come out here, On the patio and I sit and I listen and then I shoot this video which you guys really depend on. Right. So, but I come out every morning and not intentionally, but I actually, you know, I sort of break through spider webs that were created overnight and I actually often feel bad for breaking those spider webs because I know That there was actually a spider that probably spent a great deal of the evening spinning that web and building that. And I— a part of me feels bad. At no point have I ever come out here and there has been a note or via a web, via Charlotte's Web, with a message that said, could you please stop breaking my web? That's very frustrating when you think about it. Nor have I ever seen an anthill that has said, could you please stop stepping on my anthill and breaking it, we have to rebuild it. It'd be kind of silly. Maybe if they could communicate, they would say that. But when you think about animals, you think about insects, you think about how they live their life, there is no sense of frustration, of revenge, of taking anything personally. I break these webs every morning unintentionally. The next day, The web is back. Is it the same spider? I don't know. A lot of times I assume so. But just as an anthill that gets crushed, the ants don't throw their hands up to the sky and, and deliberate about why their anthill got crushed. They go right back to rebuilding their anthill. They go right back to doing the work, to living on purpose, to doing the only thing that they know how to do, which is responding to the moment and then doing the best they can. And I love that example that nature gives us all the time. And it's all over nature. You know, you constantly see nature adapting and responding to the circumstances, not stopping, pausing, blaming, feeling like a victim, and then, you know, making an excuse of why they're going to behave differently. They don't. Nature does not act differently. It always adapts and responds. So you take away the essence of the human ego, which is to create stories and to feel bad for itself. You take that out of the element, we as people do the same thing. We respond and act accordingly and do what we are meant to do on purpose to the best of our ability. So that's your goal today. That's your moment of yes. Remove the ego and do the best you can. Have a wonderful day, everyone. Thank you, Travis.
