  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 coop and it is noisy
• 0:31
  out here this morning because apparently we have a lot of
• 0:35
  irritation around. Who's using what box Always find
• 0:39
  that very funny since they have a boatload of them.
• 0:41
  They only want one. OK, so today what we are talking
• 0:45
  about is what you think about you bring about.
• 0:49
  So very simple, cute little phrase what you think about you
• 0:52
  bring about. Really it boils down to where is
• 0:55
  your energy, what you ruminate on, you bring into the world it
• 1:00
  manifests, and what seeds you plant grow.
• 1:04
  So we often focus a lot on things that are wrong.
• 1:11
  It's hardwired into us to look at what's wrong in our world.
• 1:16
  And that's that is actually a a a very useful tool.
• 1:19
  I want to be really clear about this.
• 1:20
  That is a very useful tool because it helps us see what's
• 1:24
  wrong so we can fix it. It helps us understand certain
• 1:28
  things in our world always need to be worked on and cultivated,
• 1:31
  and that helps us survive. You know, if you didn't see what
• 1:34
  was wrong, you would be bumbling and having a lot more problems
• 1:38
  than you do. But where this goes awry is when
• 1:41
  we use that tool too much and we stay focused on all the things
• 1:44
  that are wrong rather than using them as information.
• 1:49
  The kicker here is that you have to take that tool, that useful
• 1:54
  tool, and of seeing what's wrong and collecting information from
• 1:59
  it. Figuring out what is this trying
• 2:01
  to show me? Asking a better question?
• 2:04
  What is this trying to show me? So.
• 2:07
  This whole theory of what you think about you bring about is a
• 2:11
  great little way for you to decide.
• 2:15
  Where is my pattern of thought going right now?
• 2:19
  Where am I spending the preponderance of my time and
• 2:23
  what am I growing? What am I cultivating?
• 2:26
  What am I putting my energy to? And this is an exercise that I I
• 2:31
  would love for you guys to be able to do.
• 2:33
  You know, every at the end of every day asking yourself, well,
• 2:36
  where did I put my energy today? Where did I put my thought
• 2:39
  today? What did I spend my time putting
• 2:44
  really solid thought energy into?
• 2:46
  What did I spend my day worrying?
• 2:47
  Did I spend my day just having moments of worry?
• 2:50
  Sure, you can have a moment of a thought.
• 2:52
  You can have a moment of of negativity that nothing's wrong
• 2:56
  with that. That's human.
• 2:57
  That's called being human. But the trick is not to spend
• 3:00
  your time there so that you cultivate it and grow it and
• 3:03
  turn it into something. Because where you put your
• 3:05
  energy, it goes. So if you want to make something
• 3:08
  wonderful, you actually have to put your thoughts on that.
• 3:12
  And believe me, this is something that I have had to
• 3:15
  learn myself because I am a natural warrior.
• 3:19
  I was brought up by someone who was a big warrior and I had to
• 3:23
  learn that worrying did not help me pass the information.
• 3:28
  But that was years before I figured that out.
• 3:30
  And again, there's nothing wrong with it.
• 3:33
  It's just that you can't stay in it because the phrase is what
• 3:37
  you think about, you bring about.
• 3:40
  So if you think about it too much and you ruminate on it too
• 3:42
  much and you give it too much energy, you will make it happen
• 3:45
  in your world. And that I'm certain of when you
• 3:49
  spend your time putting your energy into that.
• 3:52
  You positive or negative, you can make it happen.
• 3:56
  You know, it took me a long time in my world to get to this
• 4:00
  point. I've been in this business since
• 4:02
  1996. I have spent years working on
• 4:06
  myself and continue to work on myself because I still have
• 4:09
  those things. This is not something that you
• 4:12
  just master and say, oh, I'm done, I don't have to do this.
• 4:14
  I don't worry anymore. No, that is not true.
• 4:17
  No matter how great you are. No matter what.
• 4:19
  Initials you have after your name.
• 4:21
  No matter how many certifications you have, you
• 4:23
  still cannot get past the fact that you have your humanness to
• 4:27
  deal with. We are all human, and we are on
• 4:31
  this human plane having this human experience.
• 4:34
  Therefore, we will act as humans, and we will worry, and
• 4:38
  we will have moments of anger and we will have moments of
• 4:41
  despair. The choice of our training comes
• 4:44
  into how long will we stay in those thoughts, how long will we
• 4:48
  put ourselves in that position before we say, no, this is not
• 4:51
  the way I want to go. I want to pull myself out and I
• 4:54
  want to do a better job right now.
• 4:56
  And I want to say, you know what we think about, we bring about.
• 4:59
  So I'm not going to do that. I'm going to go in another
• 5:02
  direction. And by going in another
• 5:04
  direction, well, that's what serves us, because we can choose
• 5:09
  that direction and we can. Cultivate that direction.
• 5:12
  But it all comes down to one thing.
• 5:14
  You have to be aware of it first, and you have to realize
• 5:17
  that those thoughts are happening.
• 5:19
  So this is a mission for you to start going off and recognizing
• 5:23
  where am I putting this energy and if you spend any amount of
• 5:27
  time listening to this. Podcast.
• 5:30
  You're going to recognize that I do a lot of this talk about this
• 5:34
  in different ways, in different formats, and it's a common
• 5:37
  thread because it's the most difficult thing that as human
• 5:41
  beings that we will have to do. So will you hear me say this
• 5:44
  again in a different way? Yes.
• 5:45
  Will you hear me say it multiple times in different ways?
• 5:48
  Yes. Because it is the most common
• 5:51
  thing we struggle with hands down, we This is an internal
• 5:55
  job. Everything is an inside job.
• 5:58
  And. We cannot ignore the tools that
• 6:01
  we have that we're using improperly, which is our focus.
• 6:07
  So our focus can get hyper focused on the things that we
• 6:10
  actually don't want to do. Our focus is like.
• 6:13
  Someone said to me, oh, I have, I have really great focus.
• 6:16
  Well, yes, this person has intense focus, but it all that
• 6:19
  energy goes to the wrong thing. It always goes to what's wrong.
• 6:22
  So that intensity is bringing about.
• 6:26
  I don't understand why wrong things keep showing up.
• 6:28
  Well, because you keep focusing on wrong things.
• 6:30
  You take the information they're trying to deliver to you, you
• 6:34
  get clear on what it is, and then you move.
• 6:36
  Your energy into a different direction of solving those
• 6:40
  things or doing something different.
• 6:42
  You cannot stay in that energy and expect something to be
• 6:45
  different. So hopefully this was helpful
• 6:47
  today for you to see again what we think about we bring about.
• 6:53
  So please choose your thoughts carefully and I will see you
• 6:57
  tomorrow. My friends have a blessed day.
