  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.
• 0:21
  World. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way, hey?
• 0:28
  Everybody, good morning. Every so often you meet a person
• 0:31
  and this person just, I don't know, there's just something
• 0:35
  about this person. You look at them and you see
• 0:38
  that this person is special. You see that this person has
• 0:42
  something in them that you're supposed to know or be aware of
• 0:48
  or connect with. And I think because of how the
• 0:54
  world is now, we often guard ourselves against these things
• 0:58
  and we don't allow ourselves to go into connecting with them.
• 1:03
  And that is a huge mistake because the more you put up
• 1:08
  walls, the more you keep good things out too.
• 1:11
  And over the past few days, well, actually it's probably
• 1:14
  been like I, I think probably over a week and a half now, I
• 1:19
  have been working to purchase this little tiny work van for my
• 1:23
  son so he can put all his tools and keep everything safe and
• 1:27
  what not. And, and it wasn't from a
• 1:30
  regular dealership. It was from a place that was
• 1:33
  smaller, not considered one of the mega ones, much harder for
• 1:36
  people, you know, the, the bank doesn't want to loan on it.
• 1:39
  There's all kinds of issues with it.
• 1:41
  And I've met the person that owns this place and it was this
• 1:47
  amazing woman. And when I walked in the door, I
• 1:51
  could, I could just, there was something about her that made me
• 1:55
  stop and pause and go, OK, I feel good about this.
• 2:00
  And I'm all about the emotional part of things.
• 2:03
  You know, when I feel something, I feel it, I recognize it and I
• 2:07
  pay attention to it. So immediately I felt like I was
• 2:10
  in the right space. And I want to say without a
• 2:14
  shadow of a doubt that after hearing some of what was going
• 2:18
  on in her world and after seeing how she handled the purchase,
• 2:23
  letting me take the van to our mechanic to look at, letting me
• 2:28
  put down less of a deposit until we figured out if we were
• 2:32
  getting it or we were not getting it.
• 2:33
  She even let me write a personal check this.
• 2:37
  She had this feeling that I was OK too.
• 2:40
  And sometimes you put these barriers up in your world
• 2:44
  because you're afraid of things. And I spent a lot of time in my
• 2:48
  life with my mother, who lived in a in a state of fear a lot.
• 2:53
  And those barriers would come up and then she would teach me.
• 2:57
  As Pink Floyd said, Mom is going to put all her fears into you.
• 3:00
  To be very conscientious, and throughout my years of self
• 3:03
  development, I had to be very conscientious and recognize that
• 3:09
  those fears, while some of them are very, very important to
• 3:13
  have, some of them are not very important to have and some of
• 3:16
  them are ridiculous. And I had to learn to let go of
• 3:20
  some of those. So all that being said, I let go
• 3:24
  of some of that throughout my years of self development and I
• 3:29
  let go of more and more and more.
• 3:31
  Now, that doesn't mean that I don't have it because I can
• 3:33
  always pick that wand up, get that emotion from the back of
• 3:37
  the bus and still run with it. But I manage it differently now.
• 3:42
  And this was one of those cases where I just didn't.
• 3:47
  I didn't worry, I didn't care. I just knew in my gut, in my
• 3:51
  heart, it was a message. And again, this is about
• 3:55
  recognizing that sometimes the walls you put up to protect
• 3:58
  yourself also keep good things out.
• 4:02
  So went through with it. My son is thrilled.
• 4:06
  He's got this van where he can build out all his tools.
• 4:10
  And you know, because essentially while he is not
• 4:13
  going to traditional college for the next 4 years, he is in
• 4:18
  college for becoming a plumber and he is going to dive in and
• 4:22
  his goal is to be a master plumber.
• 4:24
  And you know, as quickly as he possibly can attain all that
• 4:28
  knowledge, he's got his plans. He's not deviating from his
• 4:32
  plans. And I am absolutely just
• 4:35
  thrilled with him and for him. So my point of all of this is
• 4:41
  what's so incredible about it is that somebody random shows up in
• 4:45
  your world and they make you feel like they're trustworthy.
• 4:49
  You feel better about yourself, they feel better about
• 4:52
  themselves, and somehow the ripple effect in the world has
• 4:56
  taken place. So don't give up on those.
• 4:59
  Look for them. Allow yourself to have them
• 5:01
  touch somebody's heart, allow someone to touch yours.
• 5:06
  Because in the final analysis, my friends, that's the reason
• 5:10
  we're here. That is the very reason we're
• 5:12
  here. So I hope you guys have a
• 5:15
  blessed day. Go make a ripple and I will see
• 5:18
  you tomorrow. Bye.
