• 0:08
  coach. Filled with inspiration,
• 0:10
  distinctions, perspectives, and possibilities, we help you to
• 0:13

• 0:18
  Join Kim every morning from one of her favorite happy places,
• 0:21
  her chicken coop along with all her chickens.
• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So today we're continuing to
• 0:31
  talk about possibilities and how we order them.
• 0:36
  So just if we were to pause for just a second and we were to
• 0:40
  actually be honest with ourselves about how we rate
• 0:43
  things in our head, we will hopefully not argue with
• 0:47
  ourselves too much about this. But it's been my experience over
• 0:51
  time with myself, with clients, you know, it's just the way that
• 0:55
  it is. Friends, family, we, whether we
• 0:58
  want to admit it or not, we all have very distinct ways that we
• 1:02
  decide what's more important to US, one thing over another, this
• 1:05
  or that. And it's just a very human thing
• 1:09
  to do. Like we'll all want to say,
• 1:10
  well, I don't have a favorite chicken.
• 1:12
  Well, listen, if I'm being politically correct, I will sit
• 1:15
  here and say they are all equally important to me and they
• 1:18
  are all equally important to me. But that does not mean that I do
• 1:22
  not have or had a favorite or still continue to have favorites
• 1:26
  over others. And it's just human nature.
• 1:30
  We just do those things and I can and willingly admit, do I
• 1:33
  love them all? Yes.
• 1:34
  Do I love them all the same? No.
• 1:36
  Do I have others that are my favorites?
• 1:39
  100%, Whether it's because of their look or their personality
• 1:43
  or the way they show up. It's just, that's just the
• 1:47
  nature of being a human being. It's what we do.
• 1:51
  So when it comes to working on our possibilities and thinking
• 1:54
  about all the different things that we are desiring in our
• 1:58
  life, that that these deep fulfilling desires that we sit
• 2:02
  there and say, this creates excitement for me When I think
• 2:04
  about this and you're capturing them like we have been talking
• 2:08
  through this all week long. A big distinction is when you
• 2:12
  come to the end, like right now, we're at the end of this week,
• 2:16
  we're going to start saying which one, which ones of these
• 2:20
  do I want to bring into fruition?
• 2:21
  Do I want to put my intention on?
• 2:23
  Do I want to satiate myself in believing and thinking about?
• 2:26
  Well, as you do that, you start to realize you have some that
• 2:30
  are more appealing than others. You have some that have, you
• 2:34
  know, a favorite aspect to them and it is important.
• 2:39
  It is so important to not lie to yourself about this.
• 2:42
  Like you have to recognize that this is a tricky part of this
• 2:46
  process because it is it also in our nature.
• 2:49
  Because remember, you've heard me say many times that two
• 2:51
  things can be true at the same time.
• 2:54
  We often will lie to ourselves about something and then try to
• 2:58
  justify it. So it it's kind of like you can
• 3:01
  have conflicting desires. You can have like I want live at
• 3:05
  the beach and I want a farm. Those are conflicting desires.
• 3:09
  But when you come right back to it there is always a little bit
• 3:13
  more weight like if you thought of it like the scales of
• 3:15
  justice, you know how that little stand and then you've got
• 3:18
  the little buckets on each side, the little flats on each side
• 3:20
  and you put things on them and they weigh.
• 3:22
  When you start to think about that, that's the visual I use
• 3:25
  anyway. They're they're rarely ever
• 3:28
  exact unless you are measuring the exact same items on each
• 3:33
  side that have been weighed out. So even if I've got two oranges
• 3:37
  and I say, OK, I know these are very smart person, these are
• 3:41
  both in orange and I put them one-on-one side of the scale and
• 3:44
  1:00 on the other side of the scale, I guarantee you they will
• 3:47
  not weigh exactly the same thing.
• 3:49
  Even if they're very close. There's going to be a small
• 3:52
  difference between those. And when you do that, you
• 3:55
  recognize, well, they're still an orange, Kim, yes, they're
• 3:58
  still an orange, but one weighs more than the other.
• 4:00
  So the think about it the same way with possibilities.
• 4:03
  Your possibilities are both all possibilities, but when you go
• 4:07
  to weigh them, one will feel more important or more desirable
• 4:11
  or more exciting than the other. So you have to decide, OK, where
• 4:17
  do I want to put my energy? Where do I want to say these are
• 4:21
  my real like, OK, that might be a possibility for me.
• 4:25
  That might be something I'm intrigued by, but am I really
• 4:28
  excited to do it? So when you start to get into
• 4:30
  this weighing process, you really have to focus on the fact
• 4:34
  that you've got to be aware of the all the little thoughts so
• 4:38
  that you can weigh them. Now, a great way to do this
• 4:41
  because obviously we can't weigh on the scales, you know,
• 4:45
  possibilities. It's a good visual for you to
• 4:47
  understand the process, but you can't necessarily weigh it that
• 4:50
  way. So numbers are next best thing
• 4:53
  to use. Meaning you're going to make
• 4:55
  your list and then you're going to assign numbers from 1:00 to
• 4:58
  10:00 or, you know, one to 100. Some people like to have a
• 5:01
  bigger scale. I like to keep it small when I
• 5:03
  do it for myself. One to 10, one being there's no
• 5:07
  chance, even though this is an interesting possibility that I
• 5:10
  want to do that. And 10 being, it's a hell yes.
• 5:13
  So think of it as a hell no or hell yes at the opposite end of
• 5:17
  the spectrum. And then you're going to start
• 5:19
  assigning each one of these a number so that you can know
• 5:24
  where this falls on your scale and how you should pay attention
• 5:27
  to it. Then when you're done with,
• 5:29
  you've got your whole list. Like I've got my whole white,
• 5:31
  big, giant, white piece of paper and I've got it all written down
• 5:34
  and I've got numbers next to each one.
• 5:36
  And then I'm going to pull those higher number ones out and put
• 5:39
  them together and say, OK, now, now what?
• 5:43
  Now, what do I want to do? This is the easiest, most
• 5:47
  efficient way to look at it and say, all right, I can judge
• 5:52
  these in a very systematic way and be honest with myself.
• 5:57
  So do that exercise. Figure out which ones are the
• 6:01
  ones that you really feel compelled.
• 6:03
  I I really want that. Yeah, that's something that
• 6:05
  excites me, thrills me, whatever it might be.
• 6:07
  But sign him a number, get this portion done and I will see you
• 6:12
  guys tomorrow. Hope you have a blessed day.
• 6:14
  Bye.
