Imagine navigating life's trials with an unshakable core, built firmly on integrity and character. That's what we're diving into today - a comprehensive discussion on the parallels between the process of building a house and the formation of your character. When the foundation of our character encounters external pressures, we stand strong, maintaining our integrity. But what happens when our foundation is shaky? We end up with flaws in our character, cracks in our integrity, and a damaged personality structure. In the second leg of my discourse, I'll delve into the essence of honesty and the power of seeking help. Through encouragement, I will show you how a strong, uncracked foundation can save you from the impatience and frustration of those around you. It's worth noting, however, that the journey of self-improvement, like construction, can often slow your pace, causing friction with others. So, join me as I explore the art of constructing a robust character foundation and mastering the skill of tackling life's challenges gracefully. Let's build not just houses, but characters!Support the showC Bond (@seebeyondwhereur) • Instagram photos and videoswww.linkedin.com/in/cbond-bcpa-podcaster

Negativity such as gossip, manipulation, and negative thinking are all dangerous to our mental health and damaging to our faith. Negativity is dangerous to our self-esteem, our confidence, our families and friends and even our careers. But it is also damaging to relationships, it damages the trust that others have in us, it damages our reputation and even our lives. And negativity is like garbage, it smells. But I want us, to be positive people whose scent cannot be confused with the stench of negativity.  Support the showC Bond (@seebeyondwhereur) • Instagram photos and videoswww.linkedin.com/in/cbond-bcpa-podcaster

Even in intense or excruciating pain, I want to See Beyond Where I am and be the best me that I can be. And I realize that our experiences, the people who care for us, the facilities we go to for help when we're in pain, can help us strive for being better. I am still dealing with this pain and will be glad when it's over. But until then, I'll keep praying, singing, studying God's word so that I can be prepared for the next situation that comes in my life to make me better. Support the showC Bond (@seebeyondwhereur) • Instagram photos and videoswww.linkedin.com/in/cbond-bcpa-podcaster

There are situations that seem to bring us only pain. That's what it like dealing with Sciatica and sometimes with life. And during those times we get lost in the pain, the process, and the problems and can't See Beyond that situation. But I encourage you to let go and let God help you. When we do that, we can see how Amazing God truly is. Support the showC Bond (@seebeyondwhereur) • Instagram photos and videoswww.linkedin.com/in/cbond-bcpa-podcaster

Let me tell you what was going on and how I made myself See Beyond my situation. It started Aug.17th, three days after a virtual workout with 2 of my family members. I had done those exercises several times before and didn't have any problems. Well as I said, on Aug. 17th I started having back pains. They were not bad pains, so I thought I just needed to relax or ice or put heat on my back. So, I iced my back and relaxed. Then I decided to soak my back. I bought some Epsom salt and got in tub. First, I couldn't get comfortable in the tub. I also couldn't turn the water on to reheat the water. But the worse part was I could not get out of the tub by myself. I was hurting just that bad. Each day the pain was getting worse.I cried so much last year, and I did a lot of almost hysterical crying for 5 days of this year. It has journey and hot an easy one. But as I said earlier, I knew that God was and is with me. Support the showC Bond (@seebeyondwhereur) • Instagram photos and videoswww.linkedin.com/in/cbond-bcpa-podcaster

The title of today's podcast is This is The Day. I want to talk about my title using a scripture that is very familiar. However, I think we, especially me at times, don't think about it or live it like we should. But while a lot of us are enjoying this season; some people are having a hard time. Some people are mourning people they loss this year. And for some people it is hard because this time of year reminds them of loved ones, they lost years ago. And for some people Christmas is the loneliest time of the year. But here I am encouraging you to rejoice and be glad. Support the showC Bond (@seebeyondwhereur) • Instagram photos and videoswww.linkedin.com/in/cbond-bcpa-podcaster

I can't remember when or if this has stopped but, when I was a kid, I remember the public service announcement would come on across the bottom of the tv screen. And a voice would say, this is a test, this is only a test. And that's what I want to tell you today. Whatever you are going through, it's a test, it is only a test. Failing is the easiest way of dealing with any test. But it is also the costliest. It costs more time, more energy, more money. Because we will have to deal with that same test again and the next time it will be harder. It also costs us emotionally, intellectually, and sometimes it costs us relationships when we fail tests. Especially when we repeatedly fail the same test.I would like to say that retaking the test is our only option. For some of us it is and for some it is not. Giving up is an option for some people. But it should not be. Giving up always seems easier but it's not. Giving up allows us to get to a place, and once we get to that place we begin to die internally, intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially. Support the showC Bond (@seebeyondwhereur) • Instagram photos and videoswww.linkedin.com/in/cbond-bcpa-podcaster

Now let's talk about pollution. If pollution is bad for the environment, water, and earth, then you know it is bad for our health, minds, bodies, and relationships. The kind of pollution I am referring to are behaviors and characteristics that contaminate us.   Pollution clouds the vision and causes to use poor judgement concerning people and things.  Just like plastic pollutants affects our eco system, a bad attitude, jealously, and selfishness affects our biological system.   So instead of allowing pollution to live in your body, rent free. Evict all the characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors that causes pollution. Work on being a better person. Support the showC Bond (@seebeyondwhereur) • Instagram photos and videoswww.linkedin.com/in/cbond-bcpa-podcaster

When my youngest nephew was a toddler, he used to say, “don't stop, gilly gilly”. What he was really trying to say was, “don't stop, get it get it.

I was inspired to do this podcast because one of my sisters asked me to listen to a YouTube video titled Kara Lawson: Handle Hard Better. In the video, Kara stressed that we should not get discouraged during the hard times. She said, it is supposed to be hard. I believe that it is supposed to be hard, because the hard times shows us that we are stronger, more resilient than we think. I will admit that life is a challenge. And it not just one challenge. Life is a series of challenges that can either make us of break us. But we get to decide. After listening to this podcast, I encourage you watch the video. Support the show

Remember what we used to say as kids? Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. We know that's not true. How many of us have been hurt by words? Too many of us. We remember vividly the words that were spoken to us years ago that wounded us. We remember who said it. We remember what they said. We can even remember their facial expression, what they had on, where we were and what we were doing. Words like you're stupid, you will never be anything, or you're wasting your time trying to do…. Its these words that become a roadblock for us.

In this episode, we discuss the weight of problems. The weight a problem or situation can change.  But it depends on us. We determine how much weight of the problem we carry. And that weight correlates with the way we see ourselves, how we feel about the situation, and we work the problem. When we don't have a plan to deal with the problem, that's when we start asking ourselves why is this so hard? Or making confessions like, I can't handle this, this is too much. What you are really asking yourself is Why is this so Heavy?Support the show

Springtime always bringing back memories of my childhood. Every spring we had to do spring cleaning. We cleaned the entire house, put away our winter clothes, ironed the summer clothes, and donated the clothes that we could no longer wear. I remember being tired afterwards, but also happy because the house looked and smelled amazing. I think that's why building in the springtime appeals to me.
