  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.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning. We are talking about not
• 0:31
  believing everything you hear, whether it's from yourself or
• 0:35
  others. One must question things and
• 0:39
  this is not a new thing. This is a been a long time
• 0:42
  thing. This has been forever.
• 0:45
  I was taught that by my dad when I was little to always question
• 0:48
  like, you know, ask, make sure, get clarity, double check.
• 0:52
  And that became very much a part of my personality.
• 0:56
  I think I was always a mad questioner to begin with.
• 0:59
  I think that the inquisitive part of me just was always taken
• 1:02
  over. But there's a lot of hype right
• 1:05
  now going on and, and it's not just in politics.
• 1:09
  I need to be very clear. There's a huge political wave
• 1:13
  going on and everybody is upset one side or the other.
• 1:17
  It's got energy like nothing has in a long time.
• 1:21
  And first and foremost, this isn't about politics.
• 1:25
  I'm using that as my first example because it's so present
• 1:27
  right now. But one must ask questions and
• 1:31
  not believe everything they hear.
• 1:33
  Either side doesn't matter. This is completely neutral
• 1:37
  conversation, just like in your head when your brain says you
• 1:40
  suck, you don't believe that in that moment.
• 1:44
  That is the wrong emotion driving and that emotion may be
• 1:48
  the one that was from a long time ago.
• 1:49
  That's a pattern. Do you have to believe it?
• 1:51
  No, you do. You do not.
• 1:53
  Do you have to investigate it? Yes.
• 1:55
  You have to get clarity. And this is the same going
• 1:57
  forward with everything. I was reading a book yesterday
• 2:03
  in between clients. I had a few minutes and I
• 2:04
  stopped and I picked up a book and I started reading it.
• 2:07
  And I'm not going to mention the author, the name of the book or
• 2:10
  anything. But what I'm going to say is the
• 2:12
  content was so off putting because the way it was languaged
• 2:18
  was there was only one way to do this and it was the author's way
• 2:22
  of doing it. And it got under my skin and I
• 2:25
  couldn't figure out like, what was the reason it got under my
• 2:28
  skin. And then I realized, ah, it's
• 2:31
  because of the blindness. The the, the absolute one way
• 2:36
  thinking, one St., one lane, nothing else.
• 2:41
  That is just absolute crap my friends.
• 2:44
  Because there are multiple ways to get to your destinations,
• 2:49
  whatever those destinations may be.
• 2:52
  Emotionally, spiritually, physically going and getting
• 2:55
  jobs. There are just so many different
• 2:57
  ways to make things happen. And how arrogant of someone to
• 3:01
  believe that they think their way is the only way.
• 3:04
  Now we get in our patterns and we think our way is the right
• 3:08
  way. And for us, guess what?
• 3:10
  Our way is the right way. Like my way of doing dishes is
• 3:13
  the right way. I will be the first one to admit
• 3:16
  that. And I'm sure my husband would be
• 3:18
  like, it's not the only way and he's right.
• 3:20
  It's not the only way. It's the right way for me.
• 3:23
  It's not the only way. And that's where the distinction
• 3:27
  comes in. So when you're starting to take
• 3:30
  in information you, you absolutely have to question
• 3:34
  things. In my opinion, nothing is more
• 3:37
  powerful than being inquisitive and asking the questions and and
• 3:41
  recognizing, hey, this is the way.
• 3:43
  I believe it's correct. This is not the way for
• 3:46
  everybody. Just like I teach everybody
• 3:48
  about who's driving your bus and the emotions in your head.
• 3:51
  This is what worked for me. I always say that first.
• 3:54
  This is what worked for me. It may work for you.
• 3:56
  Give it a try. For me, it's simple, not easy,
• 3:59
  but simple and I can keep track of it.
• 4:02
  Is it right for everybody? No, it's not.
• 4:05
  Is it too simple for people sometimes and they go, oh, I
• 4:09
  don't this is too simple. OK, if it's it's too simple for
• 4:12
  you, I understand that and you can go find something more
• 4:15
  complicated. I needed something simple, but
• 4:18
  for the majority of people that I introduce it to, they actually
• 4:21
  say, wow, this is OK. I like this.
• 4:23
  This works for them too, but I don't push it to people and I
• 4:27
  don't push my my beliefs on people.
• 4:30
  I don't push things there. Ioffer opportunities for
• 4:34
  suggestions. And this author, when I was
• 4:37
  reading it, was not doing that. What he was doing was basically
• 4:40
  saying if it wasn't his way, it was the highway.
• 4:43
  It was like, forget it. You're not going to get to where
• 4:46
  you want to go unless you do it this way.
• 4:48
  And that irritated me, which is hence the reason we're having
• 4:52
  this conversation this morning, because I want to remind
• 4:54
  everybody, just because it's your way doesn't mean it's the
• 4:58
  right way for everybody. And not everybody is going to
• 5:00
  have the same beliefs. And that's the beautiful part
• 5:02
  about being humans. Just like flowers, I can plant.
• 5:07
  I can go out and plant the same type of Zinnia over and over.
• 5:12
  The queen limes, I could plant queen lime seeds all down a row.
• 5:18
  And while they all look like Zinnia and they all look the
• 5:21
  same color, maybe they're all slightly different when you get
• 5:24
  close. They're all different, just
• 5:26
  slightly different shades of it. They're all original, just like
• 5:29
  humans. You can look at us and say
• 5:31
  you're all human, but you're all different.
• 5:33
  And that's what goes on in our heads and that's what goes on in
• 5:36
  how we learn and how we hear and how we taste and how we see.
• 5:40
  It's always different. So there is no absolute, my
• 5:43
  friends. And the way you figure things
• 5:45
  out is by asking questions. And that's the way you come to
• 5:49
  your own conclusions. And you don't put them on other
• 5:52
  people because they can't comprehend it that way.
• 5:55
  It's just the way it works. They may agree with you, but
• 5:57
  their comprehension will still be slightly different, and it's
• 6:00
  always good to remember that to keep the peace in your soul and
• 6:04
  in your heart and in your head throughout the day.
• 6:08
  OK my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you
• 6:11
  all tomorrow. Bye.
