All Around Excellence Podcast

On This Weeks Episode: Teachers didn't just become teachers, they were students first. We all want to teach others and tell others what to do without first being a student. Nothing's wrong with being a student, as a student you gain so much if you're willing to take the posture to learn. You take the time to learn, you'll one day be the teacher. #PursueExcellenceDaily

On This Weeks Episode: Even in our selflessness we are being selfish. We're looking for something in return. Whether it's a “good job”, a promotion, to be seen, a blessing, etc… We tend to not even realize that we are manipulating people and situations for our benefit. We have to check our hearts and values and approach things with a pure heart with not wanting anything in return. I'm not saying do some type of work for someone and not expect to be paid, but not doing things for others for something in return. A mother is the great example of selflessness and with Mothers Day being Sunday, let's be sure to show them our gratitude for being just that. We have living examples of selflessness, let's learn from them and love them for it. #PursueExcellenceDaily

On this weeks episode, we talk about how often times we find ourselves looking for the next best thing. If we refocus, we can see that we are in, are married to, dating, working in the next best thing. #PursueExcellenceDaily

We often just talk about things because we like to talk. We talk with no desire of a solution, even if a situation is bad and we have the tools to make it better. We have to stop talking to feel good and talking to find solutions. #PursueExcellenceDaily

Just want to say to whoever is listening that I am proud of you! Keep going! Even though nobody sees you or understands the struggles on the job or the circumstances, Just Keep Going! You are doing better than you think! When you keep going and stay focused you get even better! #PursuingExcellenceDaily

A lot of times people speak low of themselves when they fail or make the smallest of mistakes. We are even worse on others when they make mistakes, the same exact mistake that we made at one point in our life. Edify(speak life to) yourself even when things aren't the greatest. It changes things positively just as tearing yourself down changes things negatively. #PursuingExcellenceDaily

It's better to work as a team than to pursue one's goals over the common goal that we're all trying to achieve. What can you do at your job, in your marriage, on your team, for your church to help the team achieve what we all agreed to work toward? Me is the small picture, We is the BIG picture! #PursueExcellenceDaily

When things are tough, when things are upsetting, let's take a step back and look at the whole situation. We react before we take everything into account. Let's pray and think about things before we react. #PursuingExcellenceDaily

We all need vision for our lives. Don't just go with the flow. Don't just let someone else decide your life for you. Have a plan, a direction, somewhere that you envision yourself. Whether that's traveling, a dream job, a business, serving your community, etc… Just have some type of direction or something you're working toward. #PursuingExcellenceDaily

On This Weeks Episode: Even though things aren't going as planned or what we expected, the show still must go on. Everything can't stop and it won't stop just because we don't have everything how we want it. The show can still happen and still make a difference. Can still impact people, make people think, add value to people if we keep going and adjust the things that weren't so great as we go along. Don't stop the show, somebody needs it. Somebody needs you. #PursueExcellenceDaily Business Highlight: Make sure to check out the gym if you're in Birmingham, great place to grow and get better.

On This Week's Episode: Going along with the last episode "Listen Carefully", we are talking about and sharing 4 practical steps on how to be careful of what you're listening to and letting into your life. Steps that help you build on the good things and remove the things that have polluted our lives. Whether it'd be music, television, movies, people, etc... We have to be careful of what we let in because what we let in is what we subconsciously let out without even realizing it half of the time. Hosts: Devin Gary & Jonathon Pams #PursuingExcellenceDaily

On this weeks episode, we talk about being careful who we let speak into our lives and what we believe. Let's make sure to not just believe everything we hear, let just anything in, and let's be sure to line it up with our values, morals and Gods word. #PursueExcellenceDaily

It doesn't take much to be nice to someone. It doesn't cost anything, it's not complicated. It may be uncomfortable, but a few seconds, minutes of uncomfortableness is worth it if it helps someone feel better or just know they matter. Let's be nice! It helps! A domino effect will happen of niceness if we all consistently are selfless and willing to do uncommon positive things! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Also check out Our Business of The Week: Torque Performance LLC Instagram: @Torqueperformancellc Website: torqueperformancebhm.com Best Gym In Birmingham, Alabama!! #PursuingExcellenceEveryday

The time we have with loved ones, friends, acquaintances, etc... is unknown. No one knows when someones time is or even when ours is but We HAVE to make the MOST of it! Let love lead the way and make the most of our time together because it can be gone just like that. It doesn't make sense but God is in control! Love y'all and see y'all net week! Time Is Of The Essence! #PursueExcellenceEveryday

WE have to stop holding other peoples past against them and giving ourselves a pass. The same love and acceptance and forgiveness we should give to others. Not saying be naive or a fool to things but be wise while seeing them for who they can be with the right environment and words spoken to them.

We have to Execute and Complete what we start. Almost doing something or almost completing something no matter how we look at it is still not getting it done. We can live in a place of almost which can become dangerous. Let's Live in a place of carrying things out, a place of execution!

We all have blamed others or situations for why things are the way they are. It's time to take ownership and admit when we're wrong! There is power in admitting when you're wrong. It gives the other person peace and it ultimately leads to us finding freedom and being able to work through it. Lets admit when we're wrong and take ownership. To blame or to own up to our wrongs is a daily battle but we're about to start taking ownership!

We all have had moments of super high confidence and we've also had moments where confidence was nonexistent. This episode is one to help each of us cultivate and maintain a healthy confidence day after day in ourselves and everything we are apart of. What We're Sharing: 3 Things That Make Us Lack Confidence 3 Things That Give Us Confidence You are stronger, better, smarter, cooler than you think. Lets Be Confident! Philippians 1:6 - "I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ." Tune In! We hope this gives you a different perspective, encouragement and helps you today! #PursuingExcellenceDaily
