| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact podcast. I'm Justin Stua, episode 2018. |
| 0:05.9 | I was reminded of a quote that I've always enjoyed, and it's this quote, don't waste your time |
| 0:12.1 | chasing butterflies, mend your garden, and the butterflies will come. What I like about this quote is |
| 0:19.5 | it's life. It's those things that we are chasing that we're trying to force |
| 0:25.4 | and we exhaust ourselves. We get we get tired and it just seems so evasive. The more we try, |
| 0:32.9 | the further it goes away as opposed to focusing on what we can control and focusing on ourselves and building |
| 0:41.4 | ourselves and trusting the process that the results will take care of themselves the butterflies |
| 0:47.1 | represent things that we can't control the results chasing outcomes that we don't have a lot of control over as opposed |
| 0:57.8 | to mending our garden, which is doing everything we can to look inward and to focus on dominating the |
| 1:06.0 | level that we're at, whatever level that we're at. And as we continue to work on ourselves and make the best |
| 1:12.2 | version of ourselves, the butterflies will come or the results will take care of themselves, |
| 1:18.1 | rather. So my question to you is, what does mending your garden look like? What does that mean |
| 1:25.2 | for you? What aspects of your garden? What aspects of your life do you need to work on |
| 1:29.7 | so that you will increase the probability that the results will indeed take care of themselves? I will say |
| 1:36.2 | you can't force when the butterflies will come. You can't force how many will come. All you can do |
| 1:42.3 | is just focus on your garden, focus on yourself, and let the |
| 1:46.3 | results take care of themselves. Have a great day and we'll do it again next week. |
