  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
• 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.
• 0:30
  So I don't know about where you are, but where I am, we are deep
• 0:34
  in the throes of political election season for like
• 0:38
  midterms and things like that. And it has gotten increasingly
• 0:43
  nasty. And I don't even pay attention
• 0:44
  to this stuff because I do my research separately.
• 0:48
  I know who I'm going to vote for.
• 0:49
  I won't watch the political ads, but yet I'm hearing you because
• 0:54
  we're bombarded with them. Can't get away from them.
• 0:57
  I'm hearing all the crap about it and I often wonder to myself,
• 1:03
  what happens when you take that kind of a road?
• 1:07
  It's, it's, you know what happens now I've, I've just
• 1:10
  witnessed this first hand with one of my dearest friends and
• 1:14
  her husband running for office for, to be a judge.
• 1:19
  And you know, the, the election was not pleasant.
• 1:24
  Let me just say. And if you hear noise in the
• 1:27
  background, it's because I'm getting ready to go out with the
• 1:29
  girls. And the election was, you know,
• 1:34
  it in the beginning, it got very nasty and they never partook in
• 1:38
  it. One, it was one of the
• 1:39
  discussions that we actually worked on.
• 1:41
  Like we will not act that way. We will not do those things.
• 1:44
  We will not partake in this level of anything.
• 1:47
  We will stick the chorus. Four people running for this
• 1:52
  specific office. 4 And and my friend's husband was a newcomer.
• 1:57
  I mean, he, he was, you know, already in a lower court, but he
• 2:02
  was a newcomer and he had never, you know, had to go into a race
• 2:07
  like this before. Well, ironically, it goes to a
• 2:11
  runoff and he's one of the two. Then they have to do a runoff
• 2:14
  because often in a split race when there's four people, they
• 2:18
  have to do a runoff. And again, this is one of those
• 2:22
  things where they make a choice to always stay the course and we
• 2:26
  make a plan that says, let's show who he is.
• 2:29
  Let's let's really show the kind of person he is and who they are
• 2:33
  as a family and all of this. Well, lo and behold, what do you
• 2:37
  know? He wins.
• 2:38
  And he doesn't just win a little, he wins a lot in the
• 2:40
  final runoff, which just happened a little bit ago.
• 2:44
  And for me, this goes to show you that at the heart of who we
• 2:50
  are as humans, we are not mean. We're not mean.
• 2:54
  Yes, there are some people out there that are mean.
• 2:56
  I know some of you are thinking, well, there are some people out
• 2:59
  there, there are very mean, Kim. And yes, you're right.
• 3:01
  But I have a belief that says those people actually came here
• 3:04
  to be mean to antagonize all of us.
• 3:06
  And I know that may sound really weird, but with resistance
• 3:10
  growth comes. So once you know, when you're
• 3:13
  lifting weights, you have to have the resistance of that in
• 3:15
  order to actually grow your muscle.
• 3:17
  You have to have more weight in there.
• 3:19
  Your your arms have to resist, your legs have to resist.
• 3:23
  So I believe those souls volunteer.
• 3:26
  I believe they, they say I'm going to go and I'm going to be
• 3:28
  the Jackass. I'm going to be the one that is
• 3:32
  the person that antagonizes everybody had them in my family.
• 3:35
  I've often talked about it, but I do believe that.
• 3:38
  But in this, and it's no different in these political
• 3:41
  races. It's no different anywhere else
• 3:44
  we go. Someone's going to come and be
• 3:46
  that person. Someone's going to cause the
• 3:48
  problems. Someone's going to be the person
• 3:50
  that rubs you the wrong way and pushes you to grow.
• 3:54
  And when you recognize that and it and it forces something else
• 3:59
  to take place, life happens in a very different way for us.
• 4:03
  So I am, I'm going to keep it short, simple and right to the
• 4:07
  point. Right now, I know anybody who's
• 4:10
  listening to this is most likely not the Jackass, OK?
• 4:14
  And there's no point in getting worked up about the Jackass.
• 4:18
  You just have to move and say, OK, clearly your goal is to be
• 4:24
  that. I understand now what can I
• 4:26
  learn from that? What can I take away from that?
• 4:28
  That's your job. That's what it is.
• 4:31
  How can I to use that to the best of my ability to not be
• 4:35
  that way? And then that's when growth
• 4:37
  happens, when choice happens. And that's what I've got for you
• 4:40
  today. Today's big thing is watch the
• 4:43
  Jackass, learn from the Jackass and don't take it with you what
• 4:48
  they're doing. Say, ah, I'm going to take the
• 4:50
  good stuff. You're showing me exactly what I
• 4:52
  don't want to do. Because as a human being, often
• 4:54
  that's what we need to know what we don't want, just like what we
• 4:57
  don't want for dinner leads us to what we will eat for dinner.
• 5:01
  And I hope you guys have a blessed day and I will see you
• 5:04
  tomorrow. Bye.
