"IGotYou" podcast

How many times in those younger years were you told to "be patient" when you really wanted something? This is really the way of life. Many today have been duped into thinking one can get what one desires at that moment when it is asked. This is really a farse because much of what is of value will take time. Flowers take time to grow as well as it takes time for a baby to mature enough to be born. Adopting a mindset to be patient is important. Having it will allow for a lot less stress and heartache.

Hello Friend! In reaching your goal know that it will not be easy all the time. Expect to encounter the highs and lows in the journey as you push toward the goal. This informational episode is about knowing the grind never stops. That is what one should expect since there will be adversity in the pursuit of reaching one's goals. Know that very few things come easy in this life and anything worth getting usually comes with a bit of sweat.

Life can and will always bring challenges so one must have the mindset to press through it instead of getting upset on their way to reaching a goal. The way one handles the challenge affects the length of enduring a challenge. In this podcast episode, I will share a few tips that will hopefully help one manage to go through the challenge with a bit of ease. 

Wow! What a year it has been! Who would've thought the year would have played out as it has. Starting with the death of retired basketball star Kobe Bryant and ending with the COVID pandemic still in the news one would think we are living in the last days. Perhaps we are living in the days just before the end of the world. Regardless, the year was sure to get our attention as to how we all have personally lived. Testing times call for one to learn and grow. Listen in as Al shares his thoughts. email: www.albell.igotyou@gmail.com

Life's Journey can really make one think twice about living. Especially when one has to deal with challenges and then thinks he or she is the only one dealing with it. This is further from the truth. Every individual has to deal with what life has to present. It boils down to how one views the challenges. Listen in as Al provides a few tips about managing through these challenges.Email- albell.igotyou@gmail.com

This time of year is important. Why? The time spent with Family heightens in anticipation of the holiday season. Loved ones begin to plan for extended family members to gather. This spurs on thoughts of being thankful and appreciative of life, friends, the small things, and family. Life can be difficult at times but when the right attitude is adopted those seemingly bad situations aren't so bad.

The COVID19 pandemic has impacted all of society today. Across the world, many have been impacted so much so as to adjust their lifestyle. Some have lost their jobs and others are now working from the confines of home. In spite of this many have made changes to either better themselves and/or reevaluate commitments. Listen in as Al shares thoughts about COVID and its impact.email:albell.igotyou@gmail.comBusiness inquiries: ClientCollab@thewaterwholeonline.com

Staying hydrated is important! Why? Because we enjoy a fun active lifestyle. An active lifestyle will require one to burn plenty of calories. This in turn may mean the loss of fluids. The loss of fluids will lead to dehydration which will bring on not so healthy symptoms. One of which is headaches. Headaches are not fun and for those who have them regularly, we can only imagine how they feel. Listen in as Al emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated.

If you stop learning you will fall behind. Not a famous quote but a stern reminder of what one can expect if he/she refuses to continue learning. Learning helps to keep one energized and engaged. Think about it! When the banking industry decided to change the way banking was traditionally done many had to adapt and download apps to stay relevant with technology. The days of transferring funds with a trip to the bank can now be done with a few keystrokes on a cell phone. Amazing! Listen in as Al shares why it's important to NOT Stop Learning.

Life comes with plenty of surprises. Many of the surprises come with us not being prepared for them at all. It could be the hearing of a car accident, a bad health report, or even the questioning of your integrity. When these situations come one must have a mechanism or strategy in place to help them manage to press through. Listen in as Al shares a few helpful points regarding what strategies to use. Email- albell.igotyou@gmail.com

Sometimes its good to not get in arguments for the simple fact that some can cause one to expend unnecessary physical energy both mentally and physically. This particular technique is used in professional boxing and proves to be helping in defending against being hit directly. Likewise, Rolling with the punches can help one to focus on what's important as opposed to spending unnecessary energy in a thing.

Many times one can get impatient in pursuing their goals. It is easy to do. If one employs a few techniques the road to success can be made a little easier. Adopting patience is key. Envisioning the goal is first then walking in a path toward that goal is second. These sure steps will make the walk a little easier to accept.

Every day one should expect to face a challenge. It could be anything from a co-worker spreading rumors or an argument with a sibling. The point is that one should accept the position that challenges will come so accept and learn from them. This is easy as watching an eagle soar through the air. A major part of its flight is that it uses the wind(resistance) to fly. Likewise, this is what one must do.

One at times can get overwhelmed by the circumstances faced in life so that's, why it is important, to adopt a mechanism to help stay in a positive mental state. Life can be cruel at times so one definitely has to stay charged and focused to press through and overcome them. Do you have a strategy? Listen in as Al explains his.

Sometimes we tend to give up while pressing on toward our goals. It can be easy to do when faced with challenges but when one makes up in their mind to press on regardless of what is faced a reward awaits them. I have heard it called Grit sometimes or a bulldog tenacity approach. It simply means you stay in attack mode toward the goal regardless. We all have it but not all exercise it.

One's perspective of life is important. Why? Because a perspective is the generally accepted practice by the individual. If one thinks the chicken came before the egg then everything in life is filtered through this perspective. This is sometimes referred to as ones' paradigm. A paradigm is a standard or perspective generally accepted rule of thumb. Being in tune with one's paradigm is crucial when traveling through life. Listen in as Al highlights a few points surrounding America's paradigm.

The right perspective is key when dealing with situations. Just imagine looking at an unfolding circumstance and thinking it to turn out badly but in reality, it turned out totally opposite of what was thought. This happens more than often and could impact one's life journey. Assumptions can be really bad and end up being the fuel to rumors if not addressed with patience and wisdom.

The events of the past few weeks are gripping for many. More than likely by now many have seen the video and are outraged. To see law enforcement who have sworn to protect and serve act in such a way that is opposite the oath was alarming. The event has raised many questions in addition to challenging what appears to be a system of oppression against blacks. In this episode, I share my thoughts on the matter.

Sometimes one can get complacent in following the crowd when it comes to gathering information pertaining to issues. This can be a detriment to ones learning if time is not taken to read up on the topic personally. In today's world information is freely given for one to receive so it is important for one to take the time and read up. If you rely too much on someone else you stand the chance of missing out on information that could personally make a difference. Taking a personal interest in researching the issues can make all the difference in one being revelated to a key piece of info.

With so many distractions one can easily lose sight of being on track toward success. Staying focused is key when you have a goal in mind. Negative vibes are all around us and one has to exercise a few tools to keep them at bay. Adopting a "grind it out" approach will ensure one stays in their lane toward success. It may not be easy at first but eventually with time one can master this approach.email- albell.Igotyou@gmail.com

One can easily get lured into the same routine day in and day out without looking to change. This is fine until that life event happens which seemingly throws us for a loop. What does one do? How can she be prepared? The answer may surprise you! or maybe not! When one understands that Events Happen for a Reason, then will they be better able to manage those situations.

Being a Boss can be difficult but when you understand the dynamics behind the responsibility and the impact of the position one can walk in authority and power. One has the right to take control of their life and be a Boss about it. Taking care of your health and well being is a responsible way of being a Boss. It means that one has done their homework and knows the impact of why a healthier lifestyle is best. Being a Boss about life is not bad but an example of courageous responsibility.

In all the hustle and bustle today it is good for one to settle down and be thankful. Busy schedules and demands will sometimes cause one to lose sight of the simple ways of enjoying life. Those fun moments with family and friends or those peaceful quiet times alone can be in jeopardy if the stresses of life are allowed to infiltrate and become cancerous. Learning to slow down and take a moment to reflect and show gratitude is a key move by one to mentally protect their way of life.

Undervaluing ourselves seems to be the order of the day anytime we are faced with challenges. Why is that? Is it because of ones upbringing that he feels the need to act less of what he is worth? Well, I beg to differ! The fact that one is alive is proof that he is valued. One needs to own the fact that he is apart of something great. Stay encouraged and realize things happen to make us resilient, not weak. Listen in as Al explains.Email- albell.igotyou@gmail.comTwitter- www.twitter.com/albell42017/

One should take advantage of those quiet times especially when alone. Today life centers around plenty of time constraints that could ultimately affect those quiet moments when we need to settle down and reflect. Learning when those times come and knowing when to take advantage of them is key. During these times one can mentally rest and recharge from the demands of everyone else and life.

Circumstances happen to us all! Knowing how to manage those challenges is key to pressing on through to success. Accepting a few of these keys can help one navigate through the change. Many find various approaches to adapting to life's challenges so here are a few key points to remember the next time life throws a curveball your way.  For more tips connect here.

Listening is a great trait to have. Why? It really develops patience. How many times after a question is raised there is an answer which we have to listen to. You might not know it, but patience is exhibited when listening for the answer. Generally, there is a time when we want to interrupt while an answer is being given. This can be unprofessional especially when quality directives are being given.  In this episode, Al will highlight the positives of developing an ear to listen. Building discipline and gaining knowledge are also great benefits to listening.  This is, the "I Will" Listen more challenge.

Do you like to get into others' business? If so don't! Unless invited, You might end up hindering the situation as opposed to helping. Many times we have that innate urge to help and sometimes this is good, depending on the time and situation.  Learning to stay in your lane and not getting involved is an acquired skill that for some is not easy to do.  Being patient and learning to allow the circumstance to unfold is key to staying in your lane.  For more life hacks and tips catch me here. www.thewaterwholeonline.com Twitter- www.twitter.com/albell42017/ IG- www.instagram.com/alfitlifeblogger/ Pinterest- www.pinterest.com/bigalyall2017/ Tumblr- https://www.tumblr.com/blog/urfriendal Email-  albell.igotyou@gmail.com    

Continuing on with the "I Will Challenge",  I want to share how important it is Not to Give Up! Giving up is an easy way out to an otherwise good learning opportunity. Just think of how one feels when they feel the pressure of having to take a test. Most times we all would rather learn the material and just get the grade.  If this was the case the teacher would never really know how well we learned the material and just distribute the grade. Thankfully this is not the case for all of us.  There is something to said for studying and then going through the testing. Life has a way of doing this for us in order to help us grow socially and personally.  I speak on the importance of Not Giving Up and staying in the test to glean life's lessons. Stay locked in!

Hello Friend Welcome back to the "IGOTYOU" podcast. In today's episode, I want to speak about the importance of encouraging someone else. I point out three reasons why it is important for someone to show love to another.  For starters, one cannot be consumed by their own selfishness. This effectively will void any act of true caring for another. Genuine caring for another recognizes that mankind is symbiotic with one another and inherently geared to uplift another in need. Listen in for the other reasons why one should encourage someone else.

Hello friend, and welcome back to another episode of  “I Got You” Podcast.  Today I want to share how important it is to look to the positive in things that happen to us while on our journey in this life. With plenty of negativity in the world today, it stands to reason there will need to be positive vibes also.  If the mind is geared to always take a negative approach to events that happen in the world then automatically this will breed more negativity. If the opposite is true of positive events then there will automatically be plenty of positivity to spread also.  In this episode, I share how this principle is reinforced and how adopting it can literally change one's outlook on how life is viewed.

Hi Friend! Hope all is well. Thanks for tuning in to the I Got You Podcast where one can receive words of encouragement. Today's episode focuses on the second point of the “I Will Challenge”. I Challenge you to Be Sensitive to Another’s Challenge. Sometimes we encounter situations that seemingly take us by surprise; Especially when encountering other individuals. When this happens, there is a tendency to take things personally and attack the individual. This is unfair, and this is why. Do we know why the person acted that way?Do we know why they said it? Life can be unfair sometimes and affects all in different ways. Because of this, we can’t expect everyone to act the same in response to life’s varying test. That is why in this episode I explain the need for one to be sensitive to another’s challenges or simply put, be empathetic to someone’s challenges. When we place ourselves in the shoes of another it helps to share the pain, understand the thoughts, and feel the stress of the circumstance.

It is important to always “Be Thankful”. Sure there will be times of testing as we travel through this life. This is part of the Creators' design to get us to grow spiritually and become uniquely better. A major part of this growth is “being thankful” regardless of what we encounter. Showing Gratitude encourages more opportunities to be thankful and so one not only mentally matures but may receive plenty of physical gifts too. This podcast highlights how “Being Thankful” is just good.  Find out more here:  Website-  www.thewaterwholeonline.com Instagram: www.Instagram.com/alfitlifeblogger/ Pinterest: www.Pinterest.com/bigalyall2017/ Email- albell.igotyou@gmail.com Twitter-  www.twitter.com/albell42017/
