We are all created with a purpose before birth. But what leads us to the fulfillment of that purpose? How do we know that we are operating in the capacities of life, love, relationship, or religion that we were destined to? This is the Self-Improvement podcast of my very own life. It is one that goes from the backwoods to the big city, and all the lessons that came in between. This podcast will have new episodes every Friday until season ends.
Many men are egotistical and feel like their relationships are 100% secure, even when it's unneccesarily stressed. You have a good woman and you know it, but you're action fail to match. Her energy and your energy are just not the same. Have you ever asked why? Just because that woman loves you unconditionally, that doesn't mean she won't leave and never look back. Here's why.
As men, we often to feel like sex is the quick fix to any and all issues. Contrary to popular belief, power doesn't always manifest itself through the penis. When you begin to show respect, attention, and concern about your spouse or mate, you'll learn that the access you often crave will be waiting for you. Brothers, women are far more emotional than we are, and most time all they want to know is that they are loved, appreciated, and made to feel necessary. Sex is not a fix all. Learn to be romantic and intimate without thinking it is only sexual or sex driven, and you'll experience a life-changer.
Sometimes we can mistake love for infatuation. When most people want true love, what am I even looking for as identification or a sign? Here's just a few things to get you started.
When everything around you seems to be falling apart, it's often difficult to find any good. Positive atmospheres and environments can often help channel stress, disappointment, and discouraging moment. Always seek to find the good in all things, even when it's absolutely bad. You may have to walk through the ruins, but at the other end there's revival.
Grief is destined to touch everyone in life sooner or later. Whether it be the passing of a loved one, job loss, relationship ended, or marraige resulted in divorce, grief will find us all. There is a good grief that in time will heal all wounds if you allow the process to run it's course. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Everyone grieves differently. Focus on what's best for you.
There comes a time when all of your giving gives out. You're the strong one for everybody, but who is there for you when you need them to be. It's ok to digress sometimes and let the real you be seen and known. It's ok to acknowledge that sometimes instead of giving out, you need someone to give to you.
Family traditions, reunions, and gatherings have almost become a thing of the past. The history and legacy of our ancestors should be the one thing that not only strengthens us and brings us together, but also reminds us the values of reunion, connection, and love. When we no longer have the ones we love to call on or love on anymore, have no regrets about it, knowing that you loved on them as hard as you could while they were on this side. When all else fails, family should prevail.
Sometimes we just want to regroup in life. Everyday that we wake up is another chance to do some things differently. It's a chance to open some new doors and to take on some new challenges. As tough and scary as starting again sounds, sometimes it's necessary. What would you do with your life, ideas, dreams, goals, and pursuits if you only had "One Mo Gen" to do it over and get it right? If you can hear this, now is your chance. JUST DO IT!!
All of us want lasting love and relationships. We will often times wait on our queen or our knight in shining armor, and they will turn out to be everything that we ever dreamed or hoped for. Our soulmate has finally arrived. The problem is that it's the wrong time. Drama, Issues, Circumstances, and the like has left soulmates in shambles. What do we do? How should we react? Let's see if I can help.
Love in relationships often fade away for many. There are indicators and signs that are often in plain sight, but we fail to acknowledge them and just simply overlook them. When it's all said and done, it leaves you broken, confused, asking questions, and wondering what could I have done differently. When the one you're with just outright and admittedly doesn't love or want you anymore, it just may be time to move on.
Life brings challenges that cause us to sometimes feel like failures. It can also leave a mindset of feeling defeated that could possibly cause some to just quit and never pursue greater. When this happens, don't put up but rather pick up and keep pressing forward. Don't dwell in the Dungeon of Defeat. That's not your residence.
Heartbreak, Depression, Anxiety. Peer Pressure, Denial, Feeling Unwanted....These are just some of the things we can be faced with. Many can lead us on a journey toward bad habits and void fillers that are absolutely wrong, no matter how good it may feel. Break the habits and the cycles, before they break you.
Sometimes in the midst of being everything for everybody, we'll often lose our way. There is a point where you have to find the time to get back to yourself. Re-discover you and re-invent you. Pursue your dreams and goals as you may your mark in the world. Get back to you and and watch the better and more experienced version break forth.
We should never make excuses for who we are, past failures, or future endeavors. The most important thing in life is to thine ownself be true. gain or regain a focus and shoot for the stars. Whether you have support, or you have to do it alone, there is never any room for excuses, especially if the story is one of success.
What is it that is weighing you down? What do you need to unload to open new doors and opportunities in your life? What is holding you back from becoming your best you and living out your dreams? Identify it and get moving into your purpose and destiny.
Sometimes kids get a bad rap and take the blame for it all. Although they are still kids and should always remain respectful, honest, positive, and loving, kids do what kids see. If we aren't parenting properly and holding them accountable, we will often suffer from the monster we've created. There are times when its not the childs fault, but the parents.
Many struggle with self-love, self-worth, and self-esteem. Amidst all of this, the greatest gift any of us could ever receive, is the gift of love. Whether its relational, marital, or even in parenting, everyone deserves to be loved. What happens when the love just isn't there, or it has grown cold? What do we do when we've outgrown each other and the love we deserve is not the love we receive? Why does this happen? Take a listen!
Many teenagers as well as adults struggle with acceptance. Is a friend truly a friend if your status in their lives is based on a particular swag or look? Who are you? Who should you be?
2020 was a year filled with disasters, failures, disappointments, and backseats. The past however, is exactly that. What will you do differently in 2021 to be a better you? What changes and decisions will you make to counter what went wrong in 2020. What will your future look like?
Saying goodbye is never easy. Al is now in the big city and what awaits him is new beginnings. But everything is new and he must quickly adapt, change, and conform if he doesn't want to be the outcast and oddball. Or does he? An even better question is, do you?
