  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist and also happen to be
• 0:10
  a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking and.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning. So we've all heard the phrase
• 0:32
  that, you know, do a bunch of small things and they all add
• 0:35
  up. And most of us agree with that.
• 0:37
  But I don't think we understand the impact that they have on us,
• 0:42
  those things that we that irritate us, the things that we
• 0:45
  tolerate. You know, there's a Buddhist
• 0:48
  quote. I have no idea who said it, but
• 0:51
  I've heard it a million times through Buddhism that if you
• 0:53
  don't think small things matter, spend an evening with a mosquito
• 0:58
  in your tent. And boy is that an
• 1:02
  understatement. If we have bugs, we have things
• 1:05
  here called No Seams and it's a made-up name.
• 1:08
  It's really something else. But they call them No Seams
• 1:10
  because you can't see them, but you feel them and they bite
• 1:13
  really hard. And something so small can have
• 1:16
  such a huge impact when they are out and it's dawn and dusk that
• 1:21
  they are out. It's like you see everyone go
• 1:24
  inside you. You can smell in the air all the
• 1:28
  herbs and, and you know, sprays that people are using to try to
• 1:33
  keep them off of them. But here's the thing with these
• 1:35
  things, nothing, nothing helps them.
• 1:37
  They've come on you anyway. You have to have your clothes
• 1:39
  on. And even when you have all your
• 1:41
  clothes piled on top of you, long sleeves, hats, and you know
• 1:44
  you're covered up, they find a way to get in your ears.
• 1:47
  They go to your ears. It's it's insane how committed
• 1:50
  they are to their outcome.
