  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 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.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good early morning.
• 0:29
  OK, so I want to tell you I found a few different types of
• 0:34
  caterpillars in my pollinator gardens and one on the lime tree
• 0:40
  that apparently they really like lime trees that are of
• 0:44
  butterflies that when they the caterpillars are actually
• 0:49
  formed, they look like poop. Yes, you heard me right.
• 0:52
  They look like poop. And they do that to protect
• 0:56
  themselves from predators eating them.
• 0:58
  So obviously nobody likes to eat poop unless of course, you're a
• 1:03
  dung beetle. And then of course you love poop
• 1:05
  and you look for it everywhere. So it got me.
• 1:08
  I was laughing about it and I was like, oh wow.
• 1:10
  It's funny how that translates over to people because there are
• 1:13
  some people who are like a dung beetle and they just like to eat
• 1:15
  poop all the time. And they think poop ways and
• 1:18
  they talk poop ways about themselves and other people.
• 1:21
  And they are the dung beetles among us.
• 1:24
  And it got me really like very entertaining for myself when I
• 1:28
  have these thoughts and it goes down the road.
• 1:30
  And of course, the whole thing started with, hey, listen, this,
• 1:34
  this particular creature was brilliant enough to, to evolve
• 1:38
  and make itself look like something that no one wanted to
• 1:41
  eat to protect itself. And then that got me further
• 1:44
  thinking because this is how my brain works.
• 1:45
  So this is how you're, you're getting insight into how my
• 1:49
  brain functions on things. I was like, that's very
• 1:52
  interesting. I wonder how many of the people
• 1:55
  among us that have morphed into that poop mindset of I'm going
• 2:01
  to put myself, I'm going to be very acid.
• 2:03
  I'm going to make myself repulsive.
• 2:06
  Are doing that because they are trying to protect themselves or
• 2:10
  are they just genuinely like they're just like that, You
• 2:14
  know, because I do believe and again, philosophical
• 2:17
  conversation this morning, I do believe there are people among
• 2:20
  us. Their soul is on a mission, and
• 2:22
  that mission is to be the the person who's the antagonist, the
• 2:27
  one that pushes us. And that's the only reason they
• 2:30
  come here. They volunteer for it.
• 2:32
  They come here and they're like, I'm going to go and be the
• 2:33
  antagonist. I'm going to go and have that
• 2:35
  experience. And because of that, that pushes
• 2:39
  us to grow. It's a very lovely thought and
• 2:42
  it makes me feel better about things in my world because hell,
• 2:45
  you know, when you start to really think about it, I don't
• 2:48
  want to believe that anybody's really that awful without a
• 2:50
  choice. I believe they made the choice
• 2:52
  and they come here with the intent that it's going to help,
• 2:55
  it's going to participate. Because without resistance,
• 2:58
  things can't, you know, grow. You have to like when you go in
• 3:02
  the gym, you've got to have resistance.
• 3:03
  You got to lift the weight. You can't just go and do the
• 3:05
  moves. You got to lift the weight and
• 3:06
  that hurts. So we have those people among
• 3:09
  us. I do believe that.
• 3:10
  But I also believe there are people here who are just they,
• 3:14
  they have turned that, you know, they've morphed into that poop,
• 3:18
  so to speak, because they're trying to protect themselves.
• 3:22
  They just want to figure out, how do I get to that point where
• 3:25
  I can become that butterfly? But I'm going to have to look
• 3:28
  like poop for a long time. And maybe that's where those of
• 3:33
  us who don't have that in our DNA wired into US have to say,
• 3:39
  OK, how can I be kind even though they're not?
• 3:42
  So I have an overriding belief system that when someone shows
• 3:47
  up a certain way, I'm going to, I'm going to do everything I can
• 3:50
  to be kind or kinder than I've even been.
• 3:54
  Because I have to look at where they are, not how they're
• 3:57
  showing up in the moment, but where they are in their path and
• 4:01
  saying, OK, this might be this, this might be this, now it might
• 4:05
  not be. And I might be wasting my time.
• 4:07
  I want to put that out there in a big way.
• 4:10
  I might be wasting my time because some people are just all
• 4:12
  right, you're committed to your outcome and I bless you and you
• 4:15
  can go on your way and that's fine.
• 4:17
  I'm OK pay with that, but what I'm not OK with is throwing the
• 4:22
  baby out with the bathwater too soon.
• 4:25
  And I have over the years learned with clients who have
• 4:28
  come in and who have been very, very challenging and not clients
• 4:32
  that like signed up for coaching, like with me.
• 4:35
  But when I was working for Tony Robbins, they would come in,
• 4:39
  their boss would sign them up and they'd be like, you have to
• 4:41
  go to coaching because their boss is trying to help them and
• 4:44
  they're putting them in coaching, thinking something's
• 4:45
  great. It's going to happen for them.
• 4:47
  And guess what? Those people, they don't want to
• 4:49
  be there. They're not ready to change.
• 4:51
  So they're going to be as difficult as possible.
• 4:54
  And you know what, that's OK. They're not ready to change.
• 4:57
  But oh, they have taught me that that doesn't mean I have to
• 5:01
  change. I'm I'm not going to change
• 5:05
  because somebody else is being the way they're being.
• 5:09
  If I'm going to change, it's going to be because I want to
• 5:11
  change, not because someone else is pushing it on me.
• 5:14
  So when you see the people that are the piece of poop, when
• 5:18
  they're disguised as poop, be kind and don't try to make a
• 5:22
  rash decision right away. Sometimes they are on that
• 5:25
  mission. And if that's true and they are
• 5:27
  on the mission, because I've had a relative like that and that
• 5:30
  was her mission, to be as acid from the day I knew her when I
• 5:34
  was little all the way till the day she died, to be as acid as
• 5:37
  she possibly could. And in the process of her doing
• 5:41
  that, she pushed a lot of people to grow and, and morph because
• 5:46
  of that. And I can believe that that was
• 5:49
  her mission. So I wished her well and I never
• 5:51
  wished her harm and I wished her well.
• 5:53
  I didn't have to interact with her, but I just did that.
• 5:56
  So food for thought today. When you see the poop, when
• 5:59
  you're out in the world and you see someone acting that way,
• 6:01
  maybe they just need to say, hmm, OK, I, I need a little more
• 6:06
  kindness. And you pick up on it because
• 6:09
  the, the way they look like poop is really a big deal.
• 6:12
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 6:15
  will see you tomorrow. Bye.
