And then I said, wait a minute, you don't know. You're projecting, you're assuming. And you don't know what the outcome could be. Don't judge it. Don't live in the future. Let's just see what happens. So I didn't say a word. I held it in. Our daughter's been at the camp for over a week now. And I'm like, oh, my God, she loves it. She's getting dirty.

She's making friends.

She's milking cows.

And everything that I thought was going to happen, none of it has happened yet, right? I don't know. She could follow up a horse today. It's life. But none of it has happened. No, but that's what I was feared of, right? So by being aware of, okay, taking a breath and saying, you know what, let's allow miracles happen.

I'm John Kim, a licensed therapist who used to be a miserable fuck before going on a hero's journey

and turning expired relationships into revelations. I use my story to help others come

with you instead of at you, unrehearsed on purpose, because self-help doesn't have to be

polished or complicated. Just honest. So here's what I was thinking. Well, first, first, I need

permission. Do you want to be a part of this?

You have to tell me what the topic is before I can say yes or no. Well, the topic is mindset after having a revelation, but it's using your story, my story, real life stuff. So it has more to do with you. i'm hoping because it may be a podcast you'll be less

defensive if i if i if i stop recording i'm scared you'll be you won't listen to me well you have to

give me the context i can't i can't consent if i don't know what you're about to bring to me

okay so here it is. Most of your

life, as you have told me, you have thought, okay, I assume the worst is going to happen, no matter

what it is. And then if something great happens, then I'm pleasantly surprised, right?

And I think many people maneuver that way. And I think many people maneuver that way,

and I think many people maneuver that way because they've been burned.

I think many people maneuver that way because things don't work out

or they don't want to be disappointed.

So it's a form of self-protection in a way, right?

And I was thinking today, it also leaves little room for miracles.

And I thought about you because I know the stars
