  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson.

• 0:20
  Into the. World.
• 0:21
  So welcome to the coop and let's start your day off in a
• 0:24
  fantastic way. Hey everybody, good morning from
• 0:29
  the chicken coop. You know, it's a very big
• 0:32
  realization when you can understand that anybody can be
• 0:36
  tough in this world. Anybody can be rude, anybody can
• 0:40
  be pushy, anybody can be miserable.
• 0:43
  It's really easy. Just we're surrounded by it.
• 0:46
  We are surrounded by the opportunity to find misery.
• 0:51
  But it takes somebody really special and somebody who is not
• 0:56
  average, the Unicorn to be happy.
• 0:59
  It takes somebody really and living with intention to go out
• 1:04
  there and find good stuff to say.
• 1:07
  I'm I choose to be happy. It takes somebody who's really
• 1:11
  aligning with what they want to be instead of what the what the
• 1:15
  world is just dictating they can be and going down a rabbit hole
• 1:19
  of conspiracy theories and misery and listening to the news
• 1:23
  and everything else. And I have a high awareness for
• 1:29
  the fact that quite frankly, I don't, I don't enjoy being
• 1:34
  around people that are negative at all.
• 1:37
  I avoid it like the plague. And I have been accused of being
• 1:40
  a bit of a hermit sometimes because people say, oh, you'd
• 1:43
  rather be by yourself. But the truth is I don't want to
• 1:47
  be with people that complain. And this is not a new behavior
• 1:49
  of mine. Many years ago, I was invited to
• 1:52
  go out with a group of ladies. And I was living in Rhode Island
• 1:56
  at the time. And we all went out and it was
• 1:58
  supposed to be like a ladies fun night.
• 2:00
  And I was super excited to go. And I wanted to talk about all
• 2:03
  the stuff that was creative and fun and everything else.
• 2:06
  And it turned into, quite frankly, nothing but a bitch
• 2:09
  fest about all the things that were wrong in their life.
• 2:12
  And about an hour in, I realized it wasn't going to get any
• 2:15
  better. And I stood up from the table we
• 2:18
  were sitting in at this little local bar.
• 2:21
  And I said, I have to go. And everybody was like, oh, I
• 2:24
  thought you were staying up. I thought you had a sitter.
• 2:26
  And I said, I do, and I just don't want to talk about this
• 2:30
  stuff. And I just got up and left.
• 2:32
  Now, did I insult some people by getting up and leaving?
• 2:36
  Yes. Did I look like I was thinking I
• 2:39
  might be better than everybody there?
• 2:42
  I don't know. But I was told that afterwards.
• 2:44
  And for me it wasn't about being better than anybody, It was a
• 2:48
  choice of saving my soul. I don't want to live in that.
• 2:52
  I don't want to attract that. I don't want to put that out
• 2:55
  there. And I will not have it.
• 2:57
  I just won't. I just won't do it.
• 2:59
  So I spend an inordinate amount of time working on the farm,
• 3:04
  being with animals, being with creatures, you know, growing
• 3:08
  plants because to me, that's the energy that I want to tap into
• 3:12
  to something that's pure, something that is not, you know,
• 3:18
  just looking at the the negative all the time.
• 3:22
  Do awful things happen out here? Yeah, they do.
• 3:25
  And then there's a lot more that's not negative.
• 3:29
  I mean, last year I lost an awful lot of chickens,
• 3:33
  predators. This year, I'm knocking on wood,
• 3:36
  as you can hear, I have lost none.
• 3:39
  And I have, last year I had disaster after disaster in the
• 3:43
  garden. This year I had some disasters,
• 3:46
  but they weren't complete wipeouts and I was able to fix
• 3:49
  them. And that's how it works.
• 3:52
  It's in and out now. If somebody had been there that
• 3:54
  night and they had just said a few things and then let it go
• 3:57
  and moved on to better conversation, I wouldn't have
• 3:59
  walked out. But the constant chronic
• 4:02
  complaining and about other people and acting a certain way
• 4:06
  just does not work. And anybody can do it.
• 4:09
  Anybody can do it. The question that you have to
• 4:12
  ask yourself is, do you want to be average?
• 4:14
  Do you want to be like everybody else?
• 4:16
  Or do you want to be above average?
• 4:17
  Do you want to rise above the conditions and choose to tap
• 4:22
  into something better? And that's what I want to
• 4:25
  choose. And if you're listening to this,
• 4:27
  I have to believe that you want that too.
• 4:29
  I have to believe that you want to rise above.
• 4:32
  I have to believe that you want to have something that's beyond
• 4:36
  that. You have to, you have to, you're
• 4:39
  demonstrating by tapping into this kind of energy that that's
• 4:41
  what you want. So I encourage you to say to
• 4:45
  yourself, it's OK for me to be this way because sometimes it's
• 4:48
  going to feel like it's not OK. I've felt that myself, like it's
• 4:51
  just not OK to be that way because people are judging you.
• 4:53
  They're thinking you're this way.
• 4:55
  But it's OK if that's where I'm and I'm more than OK spending a
• 4:58
  lot of time with animals and plants.
• 5:01
  I got to be honest with you it, it's really quite refreshing.
• 5:04
  And when I do choose to be with humans, I choose to be with
• 5:08
  humans that are much more inclined to.
• 5:12
  Sure, we can talk about something negative, but we can't
• 5:15
  stay in endless conversations about negativity because it just
• 5:19
  begets more negativity. And I don't think it's healthy.
• 5:23
  It's not healthy for me. It's not healthy for others.
• 5:26
  It's just not healthy. So you have to ask yourself, do
• 5:31
  I want to be that tough person that goes out there and grinds
• 5:35
  and complaints and does all that, or do I want to be that
• 5:38
  person that changes the dynamic by taking themselves to a
• 5:42
  different level and pulling themselves out of the mix?
• 5:44
  It's a great question. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:47
  you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:50
  Bye.
