  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 happened to
• 0:10
  be 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 just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the porch.
• 0:30
  Because I was just in there surrounded by my seeds, sorting
• 0:34
  out stuff and going through the ones I've already collected from
• 0:38
  things that I have grown. And it really got me thinking
• 0:41
  about all every time seeds come up in my life, I just, I'm
• 0:45
  amazed at all the different types of seeds that are out
• 0:48
  there. And right now my celosia that I
• 0:50
  cut, the last real cuttings I could get from the cut flower
• 0:55
  garden are sitting on my counter and I have a white counter
• 0:59
  that's quartz. So you see anything on it and
• 1:03
  they're shedding their seeds. And of course, you know, the
• 1:06
  comment from my son is what are all these little black specks of
• 1:10
  pepper? Who's spilling pepper?
• 1:12
  And I was like, this isn't pepper.
• 1:13
  These are seeds. And he's like, no way.
• 1:15
  I'm like those flowers, those seeds.
• 1:17
  He's like, come on, seriously? I was like, yes, isn't it
• 1:19
  amazing? And I get so blown away by this
• 1:22
  fact. And I, I look at the that and I
• 1:26
  say to myself in the process, I get so sad when the flowers die
• 1:30
  off because I, I just, I'm obsessed with flowers and when
• 1:34
  they die off it, it, it brings this like there they go.
• 1:38
  But I so enjoyed them while I had them.
• 1:41
  And these are from the cut flower garden.
• 1:43
  So I can cut them and bring them in according to my own rules.
• 1:46
  But it makes me think there's a quote from the Bible and I'm
• 1:51
  going to read this union often. I don't, I don't.
• 1:53
  This is not about a religious thing.
• 1:55
  This is just a really great quote.
• 1:57
  So for those who are multidimensional on here in
• 2:01
  their religion, please know this is just a great quote.
• 2:05
  OK, so Jesus said very truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of
• 2:10
  wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single
• 2:13
  seed. But if it dies, it produces many
• 2:16
  seeds. And that's John 1224.
• 2:20
  So you see, this is what's so crazy about it without having
• 2:25
  that plant go into a different state of energy, a different
• 2:30
  state of being, IE dying off. I mean, is it really dying off?
• 2:34
  Because the seeds are its legacy, The seeds are what it's
• 2:38
  moving forward. The the energy of that entire
• 2:41
  plant has been transferred into that single little nugget.
• 2:45
  And if you can imagine, my son thought those seeds were pepper.
• 2:51
  They kind of are even smaller than poppy seeds on a celosia.
• 2:55
  And when you think about it, that all the energy of that
• 2:58
  plant has been put into that little tiny itty bitty thing,
• 3:03
  it's fascinating to me. So I can't look at it as if it's
• 3:07
  dying because the energy is transferred.
• 3:10
  But I can look at this and say exactly what is said in this
• 3:14
  quote from Jesus. It has, it has to go to this
• 3:17
  state to produce more. So I I take this to heart where
• 3:24
  we are constantly in transformation of our own state.
• 3:28
  We are constantly having to let go of some things in order to
• 3:32
  create new things. I mean, it's just part of life.
• 3:35
  In order to do something, you have to maybe let go of it.
• 3:37
  If I want to create more time to shoot videos, I have to create
• 3:41
  more time in my schedule. So I have to let go of something
• 3:44
  or I have to move something or I have to transform something and
• 3:48
  there's no need to get upset about it.
• 3:50
  It just means you are alive and you are growing.
• 3:53
  So we're so critical of ourselves and we sit there and
• 3:56
  say, well, I can't do it all. No, you can.
• 3:58
  You just have to be very choosy about what you want to do
• 4:02
  because your energy is precious, my friends.
• 4:05
  It is really precious. You know, for years I have
• 4:08
  thought about I want to join a group of people, I want to help.
• 4:11
  I'll volunteer, I'll do something.
• 4:13
  But every time I go out and I and I go meet people, I don't
• 4:17
  click with them. They're not friendly.
• 4:19
  I mean, I've tried all kinds of organizations.
• 4:21
  Let me tell you, my friends have pushed me.
• 4:23
  Go try a Rotary, go try a Chamber of Commerce, go do this,
• 4:27
  go do this. And I didn't click with any of
• 4:30
  them. There's even a business club.
• 4:31
  I went and I joined the business club.
• 4:33
  I committed to it for a year, paid exorbitant dues because it
• 4:37
  was supposed to be a really great thing and I didn't enjoy
• 4:40
  any of it. I felt like there were too many
• 4:44
  rules, too many people that were just looking to take advantage
• 4:49
  of each other in business. It was awful.
• 4:51
  And recently I, I got introduced because I went to a, a fair
• 4:56
  downtown and I got a book from a Garden Club.
• 4:59
  And I, the people at the booth were extraordinary.
• 5:02
  I mean, every single one of them, they were just so great.
• 5:05
  And last night I went to their meeting to see if it was
• 5:09
  something that I would be interested in.
• 5:11
  And not only was I welcomed with open arms, they're all just so
• 5:14
  sweet at people walking up, saying hello to you, introducing
• 5:19
  themselves. It was like, Oh my goodness, I
• 5:22
  want to be a part of this. I want to be with these people.
• 5:26
  So is it worth me moving other things off my schedule to do
• 5:29
  this 100%? And will I do it?
• 5:32
  Yes, because I'm willing to let go of something so something
• 5:35
  else can grow. And this is part of the whole
• 5:39
  process of what these seeds go through.
• 5:41
  So give it a thought when you are starting to let go of things
• 5:45
  at the end of the year to think about what's coming next year.
• 5:49
  Really be choosy. Really be specific.
• 5:51
  Where do you want your energy to grow and go?
• 5:54
  Where do you want to plant yourself?
• 5:57
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 6:00
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
