  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. It's a loud one today.
• 0:32
  I've got one of my little girls over here named Wanda who has
• 0:36
  like a whole story to tell us apparently.
• 0:38
  And she has just been going on and on the whole time I've been
• 0:41
  out here. So this morning we are talking
• 0:45
  about the fact that it is not your job to fix all the
• 0:48
  brokenness in the world. It is not your job to fix all
• 0:52
  the brokenness in the world, and it is not your job to let it get
• 0:55
  to you to the point where it starts to break you.
• 0:57
  Your job, which is so important, is to fixate on the good, to
• 1:01
  bring out more of it, to find the joy, get in alignment and
• 1:05
  have that grow. Doesn't mean you ignore the bad
• 1:07
  stuff, doesn't mean that you don't help participate in fixing
• 1:11
  things as far as you can. But you can't fixate on it.
• 1:15
  You can't allow it to eat you up because when you start to get
• 1:19
  overly fixated on things and you start to have them become all
• 1:23
  you see in the world, and you start to see the world through
• 1:27
  the dark lens of problems, your energy is actually adding to it
• 1:32
  because you're allowing it to grow.
• 1:34
  So one of the reasons that I am so adamant with myself about not
• 1:38
  tapping into that piece is because I know for a fact that
• 1:42
  if I do that I'm adding energy to it.
• 1:45
  I if I watch all the bad stories, I'm adding energy to
• 1:49
  it. If I sit there and I fixate on
• 1:52
  things that I can't necessarily solve but I feel so bad, it
• 1:57
  doesn't mean I don't have compassion or empathy.
• 2:00
  It just means that I have to do it from the right perspective.
• 2:03
  Like, you know what's 1 action I can take that will help?
• 2:08
  Is much more powerful than Oh my God, this is terrible.
• 2:13
  And I keep going to the terrible place.
• 2:15
  Now I can have a moment where I say, Oh my God, this is
• 2:18
  terrible, and then that moves me to action.
• 2:21
  But I have to go. How can I help and move into
• 2:23
  that and not fixate on always going back to the bad stuff?
• 2:29
  Because every day if I'm tapping into it, I'm not doing myself
• 2:33
  any favors. So let's just take the news for
• 2:35
  instance. If every day you are tapping
• 2:38
  into that mass mind news system that's out there and every day
• 2:42
  you're turning it on and you're tapping into it just to figure
• 2:45
  out what's going on in the world, and you're allowing that
• 2:48
  to show you evidence of all the stuff you don't like.
• 2:52
  You are tapping into something that is draining you.
• 2:55
  And not only is it draining you, where does it go?
• 2:58
  When it drains you, it goes back into that system.
• 3:00
  So you're feeding that reality. So it's incredibly important to
• 3:05
  shut that piece off, shut those powers off, and not allow
• 3:08
  yourself to go there. You know?
• 3:10
  Apparently she thinks so too, because that's the part that's
• 3:14
  dangerous. That's the part that gets you
• 3:16
  into a headspace, that's unhealthy.
• 3:18
  That's the part that puts you on a path that gets you depressed
• 3:22
  about the world, lets you see things from a negative
• 3:25
  standpoint. And again, negativity is not a
• 3:28
  bad thing, but it's not meant to be overused.
• 3:31
  Just like salt, you have to remember that negativity is here
• 3:36
  to give you clarity about the things.
• 3:38
  So contrast is how the universe shows us this.
• 3:41
  And in contrast, we have power. You know, you couldn't, you
• 3:44
  couldn't appreciate the light. Without the dark.
• 3:47
  You wouldn't even know the difference.
• 3:49
  So think of it that way and really start to understand that
• 3:53
  when you participate in it, you're adding to the problem.
• 3:57
  And again, I want to point out to everybody I know I've said
• 4:01
  this in previous podcast, but I think it's really important to
• 4:04
  remember that the problems in the world that people
• 4:08
  experience, they are here to help them as well.
• 4:12
  Those problems are supposed to help them cultivate what they
• 4:16
  need in their life. They are not supposed to just be
• 4:19
  fixed by everybody else. It's kind of like what we do to
• 4:21
  our children when we don't let them fix their own problems.
• 4:25
  We don't give them an opportunity to be thinkers.
• 4:27
  And we have an entire generation right now of people who have
• 4:31
  trouble thinking on their own companies that I coach and
• 4:36
  people I work with. We have this conversation
• 4:38
  constantly about how kids come in and they they wait to be told
• 4:44
  what to do. And that's the problem because
• 4:46
  they haven't been taught to think through the challenge,
• 4:50
  think through the problem, think through the essence of it.
• 4:52
  What they've been taught is tell me what to do and I'll do it.
• 4:56
  And that's not a creative world, that's not a creative mind.
• 4:59
  That's not coming from a place of creation and abundance.
• 5:02
  That's coming from a place of lack and focused on it.
• 5:06
  And you just tell me what to do and I'll just participate.
• 5:08
  But that's not what this is all about.
• 5:11
  Being here and being a part of this all is about learning and
• 5:14
  growing and having that participation in your own
• 5:16
  rescue. So it's incredibly important to
• 5:19
  allow the things that are out of alignment to take place and then
• 5:24
  you can choose to look at them to put you back into alignment
• 5:28
  and not rescue other people all the time either, because it's
• 5:31
  their job to focus on it too. And you can't just jump in and
• 5:34
  rescue everybody because then they don't get the lesson.
• 5:37
  So lots in this little podcast today, lots to think about and I
• 5:42
  hope it helps you and I hope you have a very blessed day and I
• 5:44
  will see you all tomorrow my friends.
• 5:46
  Bye.
