  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 mastermind, set coach, creative strategist, and also
• 0:09
  happen to 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
• 0:22
  the. Coop and let's start your day
• 0:24
  off in a fantastic way, hey? Everybody, good morning.
• 0:29
  So this may come as a shock to you, but I really want everyone
• 0:33
  to hear what I'm saying. Hope is not a strategy.
• 0:36
  It's not a a strategy that we want to take on, to move into,
• 0:42
  to sit there and say, Oh yeah, I'm working on something and I
• 0:45
  hope it's going to work. Hope is possibly the worst
• 0:49
  strategy that you can go into. We don't hope our way into
• 0:52
  success. That is just not the way to go
• 0:55
  about this. And so many of us come into that
• 0:59
  language pattern and we don't even recognize it.
• 1:02
  Hope is passive, Hope is behind the scenes.
• 1:05
  If you're hopeful, there's a chance you might be a little bit
• 1:09
  excited about whatever you're working on and there's a chance
• 1:11
  that you might be believing, but the more likely scenario is that
• 1:17
  you're feeling doubt and you're like, I really hope so.
• 1:20
  I really hope so. And you're feeling anxiety and
• 1:23
  you're having all these mixed emotions that are showing up
• 1:26
  with it. So what does that do?
• 1:27
  Well, that gives us mixed results because if we know which
• 1:31
  we know, I know, but you should really know that your energy is
• 1:36
  a is part of a law of attraction and emotion is energy.
• 1:39
  So whatever that emotion is that's swirling around you,
• 1:42
  that's what's causing all of this.
• 1:44
  That's what's bringing everything to fruition.
• 1:46
  So as you sit there and you keep thinking.
• 1:49
  I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope.
• 1:52
  You're just attracting more of the other energies that are
• 1:56
  behind it. Other those other emotions are
• 1:58
  in charge and therefore you're not going to get what you want.
• 2:01
  You have to get to resolute. You have to be like, I know, I
• 2:05
  know, I know this is fine. I know this is going to work
• 2:09
  out. I know this is going to be it.
• 2:12
  I used to be a person that stayed in hope all the time.
• 2:16
  I learned that with my family, not my father, but my mother.
• 2:20
  She would always be like, I hope so.
• 2:21
  I hope so. But she was also the one that
• 2:23
  taught me anxiety and other patterns that were far less
• 2:27
  resourceful. And I'm not saying that, you
• 2:30
  know, people don't need hope. I want to be very clear about
• 2:33
  that. We do, but that's not what we
• 2:36
  want to attract from what we want to.
• 2:38
  Yes, you use hope as a stepping stone and recognize, oh, I'm in
• 2:42
  hope, but I want to get to resolute.
• 2:44
  That's why in the Bible it says you have to have the faith of a
• 2:47
  mustard seed. That is not an accident.
• 2:50
  That is a directive. That is a directive.
• 2:52
  And for those people of faith who grew up in faith-based homes
• 2:56
  and believe in God or whatever doctrine you believe, there is
• 3:01
  usually something in those doctrines that state that you
• 3:05
  have to know. You have to have absolute,
• 3:08
  absolute the faith of a mustard seed, because mustard seeds are
• 3:11
  hard. Believe me, when I do pickling
• 3:14
  and I have to deal with them, they are hard.
• 3:16
  And you, you, even when you go to crush them, it takes a lot.
• 3:20
  And that's what you have to have in that must have resolute, must
• 3:25
  have resolute. So how do you get to resolute?
• 3:29
  Will you make a decision that you're not going to allow these
• 3:31
  other thoughts to penetrate? Will they show up?
• 3:33
  Sure, they will show up. And what will you do when they
• 3:36
  show up? You will work to dissipate them.
• 3:39
  You will work to change them. You will change the language.
• 3:41
  You will say something different because that shifts it.
• 3:44
  You have to go back to no, I am, I know, no, I know this is going
• 3:49
  to be fine. I know this is going to be fine
• 3:53
  and believe me, I still in my life have lots of those tests
• 3:57
  all the time. They show up and I have to work
• 4:00
  on that. I have to pull that.
• 4:02
  I have to know that show that it is definitely a process.
• 4:06
  It is definitely a process. So I'm here to tell you today,
• 4:10
  look at the language patterns. Look at how much you say the
• 4:12
  word hope. Look at how much you stay in
• 4:14
  that, but really look at the energy behind it, because hope
• 4:18
  is not a strategy of success. We don't we can't hope our way
• 4:21
  to success. My clients laugh when I say that
• 4:24
  we don't hope our way to success.
• 4:26
  You have to know and then you have to go know and go get your
• 4:30
  feet moving. Move your hiney, put it in gear.
• 4:34
  Don't sit still if you don't have to.
• 4:36
  Now I've I'm always being accused of not being able to sit
• 4:39
  still, but you know what, I'm OK with that because it means I'm
• 4:42
  getting things done and I want to get things done.
• 4:46
  I am a person that likes things done.
• 4:49
  I love to be busy because it quiets my mind.
• 4:53
  When I'm busy my mind is quiet. When I'm not busy my my brain
• 4:58
  starts to spin. And I've learned a long time ago
• 5:01
  that idle hands are the work of the devil.
• 5:03
  And believe me, in my case it is so true.
• 5:07
  So I don't let it destroy me. I move my heinie.
• 5:11
  So get busy, change your mindset, shift it, and remember,
• 5:15
  hope is not a strategy of success.
• 5:18
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:21
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
