  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.
• 0:14
  Podcast to teach distinctions, possibilities, new ways of
• 0:18
  thinking, and just bring some joy into the world.
• 0:21
  So welcome to the coop and let's start your day off in a
• 0:24
  fantastic way. Hey everybody, good morning from
• 0:29
  the chicken coop. So I want to share a question
• 0:33
  with you that one of my clients asked me yesterday.
• 0:36
  And I thought this was very curious.
• 0:39
  And he said, what's the thing that irritates you the most when
• 0:44
  you're in conversation with people?
• 0:46
  And I had to stop. And I was like, you mean just in
• 0:49
  general or like, you know, and he doesn't like, let's say
• 0:51
  you're having a deep conversation with somebody and
• 0:54
  you're sharing something about like what you're working on or
• 0:57
  whatever. What's something that like
• 0:59
  really irritates you with that? And I said very simple, when
• 1:03
  someone tells me, well, you know, that's not very realistic,
• 1:06
  they make a statement like that or they say you should be more
• 1:09
  realistic with this. You this seems to be like an
• 1:12
  outside stretch or what makes you think that can happen?
• 1:15
  Anything in that frame of doubt or realism kind of sets me on
• 1:21
  fire. I won't just say it irritates
• 1:23
  me, it really sets me on fire. And I, I recognize that for a
• 1:28
  very long time in myself. It's why the people who are
• 1:32
  closest to me don't partake in that staying that stuff because
• 1:35
  they understand once you point that out to me that that's how
• 1:38
  you think, I don't want to hang around with you.
• 1:40
  I just don't want to hang around with you anymore.
• 1:43
  It's pretty, pretty clear that I'm not that person that chooses
• 1:47
  to think that way. And something that's really
• 1:50
  important to remember is that every single creative person,
• 1:53
  myself included, that I have ever met, ever had contact with
• 1:58
  and had the privilege to coach. We've all had people tell us
• 2:02
  that. And you know when you hear the.
• 2:05
  Words. Well, you've got to be
• 2:06
  realistic, or you've got to. You've got to think this through
• 2:09
  further, or you've got to be logical with it.
• 2:12
  All of a sudden that just not only is it a pin to the balloon,
• 2:18
  but to me it demonstrates where they are in their mindset and
• 2:23
  everything in this world that you are dealing with the phone
• 2:28
  that we're I'm recording this on, you know, every piece of
• 2:32
  technology, every single aspect of stuff fencing, it doesn't
• 2:36
  matter what it is. I'm out of the chicken coop.
• 2:38
  You know, nails locate think about it, just a nail putting
• 2:41
  the chicken coop together, the baskets that hang on the
• 2:44
  windows, the the process to get food in the bags and get it
• 2:48
  here. Every single one of those things
• 2:51
  came from the mind of a creative people who are willing to go and
• 2:57
  think outside the box and be unreasonable to think
• 3:00
  unrealistic thoughts and try to bring them into fruition.
• 3:04
  Me recording a podcast from a chicken coop is rather
• 3:07
  unreasonable to think. Like, why would anybody want to
• 3:10
  listen to barnyard noises except that everybody comments about
• 3:13
  how much they love it. And it was an unreasonable
• 3:17
  thought. It was unrealistic to think
• 3:19
  like, oh, yeah, you can run your business that's super successful
• 3:23
  from the farm. And it it, it's just a testament
• 3:28
  to saying if you're on here and you're listening to me, there is
• 3:32
  a very good chance that you are a creative person.
• 3:35
  You are a spiritual person. You are someone who's at a
• 3:37
  different level of awareness and it is very easy to get
• 3:42
  downtrodden by the people who are not in those same spaces,
• 3:46
  who are at a different level, who are in the more mindset of
• 3:50
  the world as opposed to the ethereal mindset where we spend
• 3:53
  a good deal of our time and it's very easy for them to take over.
• 3:57
  It's very easy for that to become something that you're
• 4:00
  just like, oh gosh, you feel it. You just feel like it's very
• 4:04
  uncomfortable having it. So I'm going to remind everybody
• 4:09
  that you won. You don't have to take that
• 4:11
  energy in 2 When someone says that to you, believe them.
• 4:15
  That's who they are. That's how they're seeing the
• 4:17
  world. But you don't have to see the
• 4:18
  world that way. Three, you have choices for how
• 4:21
  you want to show up in these situations.
• 4:23
  You have choices for how you envision it.
• 4:26
  Like everything out the chicken coop, they're all out here, you
• 4:29
  know, eating and scratching around and doing their thing and
• 4:32
  sitting on their little swings and having fun.
• 4:34
  And this is exactly what I envisioned, that they would be
• 4:36
  all connected to me and happy. And when I come out and hang out
• 4:40
  with them and do this, they all get so excited.
• 4:42
  And this is exactly what I envisioned.
• 4:44
  And people were like, oh, they're not like pets like that.
• 4:46
  And that's such a lie. They are just like pets like
• 4:49
  that. They give you know what you pour
• 4:51
  outcomes back to you. And I can tell you that it's OK
• 4:57
  to be unrealistic. It's OK to believe in yourself.
• 5:00
  It's OK to reach for more. Because when the world tells you
• 5:02
  you can't do something, that's one of those moments where
• 5:05
  you're like, hey, hold my beer and let me go do that just to
• 5:08
  prove the point, but also to know in yourself that you have
• 5:12
  all those gifts. You have all those gifts and in
• 5:14
  a big way. So I encourage you to do that.
• 5:18
  I not only encourage it, I applaud it.
• 5:20
  And I tell you, I've done it so many times and it feels so damn
• 5:24
  good. So don't let anybody be the pin
• 5:26
  to your balloon. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:28
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:31
  Bye.
