Striving for excellence is something we hear a lot. But how it fits into our everyday lives means different things.As much as this we strive for financial freedom/stability, to have nice things and be the very best at any and everything we do, we lose sight of other important lessons and blessings that we can also view as us achieving excellence, such as blessing somebody through the work we do, whether it be mundane or exhilarating.Share with us your thoughts on this topic, and let us know...What does excellence mean to you?How do you go about achieving this daily?What are some stumbling blocks to achieving this?What are some solutions for this?

happy Sunday everyone!Let's wrap up the weekend with some reflection on Psalms 34:14, which reminds us to seek peace and pursue it consistently; how so? By departing evil deeds, sins, attitudes etc. This isn't a simple, quick fix process, especially since bad habits can be built from these 'ways', David is referring to in this passage. So when hearing this, be encouraged to discuss with friends or people you trust, ourselves here from the VP, and above all to God about what how to go about starting afresh, and walking down the path to righteousness. It's never easy, but worth it. God bless you all. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/visions-podcast/donations
happy new year family!!we'd like to think we're right on time with some encouragement for the new year, as we're 3 weeks deep...where doubt, fatigue, and inconsistency may creep in, we're here to encourage you with something new we're bringing to the pod. Talking about scripture. The specific focus for now is on the verse of the day (VOTD) that you can find on the Bible App. And today we dive into Jeremiah 29:13. So please pick up your phone, iPad, or even better your actual Bible, and join us as we discuss how we can truly seek God and what He wants for us, amidst the distractions that we face all the time. God bless you all.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/visions-podcast/donations
What's good everyone!Our second guest for this season, a familiar face too! Mr Michael Robert. We had a very deep chat with him around a year ago, check that out via our Spotify link below.In today's episode, we brought him on to talk about his year thus far, musically, spiritually, and also his life after graduating from university. A gifted young man, being a messenger with his gift and using it to bless and help others in one way or another. A man that's under the radar, but with the consistent heat he's been dropping will hopefully see more and more big opportunities to come!

Today's episode was recorded around early September, so we touch on a few things that were trending or important to mention at that point, but the main course of this episode for you to all reflect on is dealing with comparison. We've all been there and still fight those thoughts and feelings of either inferiority or superiority to others, but we don't and shouldn't have to think that way, because your race is YOUR individual race - whatever race it is you're running.Stay blessed guys. Catch you in 2 weeks!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/visions-podcast/donations

In light of a video we saw on TikTok about life in the US being better than the UK, we thought we'd bring that to the pod, and have a brief discussion on what we both think about life here and how different factors, such as COVID, faith, culture, and values have played a role in the quality of life in the respective countries. For any viewers who've spent some time overseas and also in the UK, let us know what your thoughts are. The differences, similarities, and even where you prefer!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/visions-podcast/donations
DISCLAIMER:This was filmed around the beginning of August, so some of our takes, predictions or even events within sports themselves may have happened or changed since, as sport is always quickly unfolding new things after the other.Do you have any "under-the-radar" sports you may like watching besides the obvious in your country/culture? Do you feel as though more has to be done via marketing/media to give that sport (whatever it may be for you) the recognition it deserves, and if so what actions can be taken?We're here to make a case for track & field, its attendance issues, how they can be fixed, as well as diving into other sports - our predictions for the Barclays PL this season, and also Dez spreads some hope to his fellow Cleveland Cavs fans, as they managed to win the summer league and are hoping for a good season ahead. All this and more to be discussed, so wherever and whenever you're listening to this, we hope you're entertained, informed and blessed by this episode.Have a great Sunday all!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/visions-podcast/donations
Today we've got our first, face-to-face guest of the new season! Get to know is back. If you've been keeping tabs on the pod for some time, you'll know that we were bringing on guests almost every week, so it's only necessary we bring back more guests for this new season. Fresh faces, fresh perspectives, great insights and hopefully impacted listeners.Tyler Panton is a sprinter in both the 100m and 200m and has represented his club and country in the sport at 20 years old. He's come on to not only share his story of transitioning from football to track but also to share insight into how he is able to achieve and demand more of himself and have fun at the same time. His messages amongst many in this episode are to express yourself, not take things TOO seriously, and teach others what you've also been taught. We hope to see him succeed in the future and for his elite trademark pose to be part of the worldwide track culture soon
Onto our second episode of the new season, which will dive into friendships and going through changes within that area. Separating is one thing, but being able to move-on peacefully, and also still have grace and love for whoever you've parted ways with, is another. We're all still very much on that journey but today we'll give you some insight, throwback stories and advice on how to deal with making and parting with friends as a young adult.We hope you're blessed by this episode, so please share with others, as well as sharing your thoughts with us privately or leave it down belowSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/visions-podcast/donations

He's a great talent and that song entitled 'Me, Myself and Christ' is out on Spotify, YouTube, and other streaming platforms, so please check him out and support his growth as an artist!At various points in life, we can be at a crossroads, where there are huge or important decisions to make that affect our future. Sometimes we get caught up in the here and now, that we lose sight of what lies ahead of us. Outside noise, comparison, and our own intrusive thoughts can give way to this.This episode is an encouragement from us - we're still going through these same changes and tough decisions as you guys are, so through the strength of Christ, we'll all testify of his faithfulness during the trials and testing seasons of our life.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/visions-podcast/donations

Fear is not your future, neither should it be something halting you from doing what God is laying on your heart to do/achieve in the present moment.
