Podcasts about I Am

Ask David-- The Fear of Happiness! Although we had five questions for today's Ask David episode, we spend the entire podcast on the first question from a man with an intense fear of happiness. He wrote: How can I use exposure to overcome my fear of happiness? Hi David, How would you do exposure for the fear of happiness? Whenever I feel happy I immediately feel afraid because I had a very strict religious upbringing where many harmless forms of fun and enjoyment were completely forbidden. Even though I'm no longer a religious believer, the fear remains. Feeling good then makes me afraid, anxious and insomniac. This often goes on for days after something good happens and it almost seems as if I AM being punished after all! How can I recover when feeling good makes me feel so bad? Love your work and all that you do. Best regards, Tomas David's reply As I have said on numerous occasions, I do NOT recommend “methods” (like exposure) for “problems” (like your “fear of happiness.”) I think your problem is very treatable, but I work with patients systematically, and that doesn't mean starting out with a “method,” like exposure or any other method. I use a step by step approach, using T = Testing, E – Empathy, A = Assessment of Resistance, and M = Methods in a sequence. In addition, when I work with anxiety, I always incorporate these four approaches with every patient I work with: The Motivational Model: I bring Outcome and Process Resistance to conscious awareness and melt them away, if possible, using a variety of TEAM CBT approaches. The Cognitive Model: This involves a well-done Daily Mood Log to identify and challenge the distorted negative thoughts at one moment in time. The Exposure Model: Facing your fears, or testing them with an experiment. This is frightening, but required of every anxious patient. The Hidden Emotion Model: This is based on the idea that only “nice” people struggle with anxiety, with only a few exceptions, and that an unacknowledged problem is often hiding right behind the anxiety. The cure requires the Detective Step: identifying what the hidden emotion or feeling is. The Action Step: Expressing the suppressed feeling and or dealing with the problem you are avoiding. Your fear of happiness is an interesting problem for sure. One of my favorite movies, “Babette's Feast,” involves this theme. If you want some help, you could send me a partially completed Daily Mood Log. You will discover that you are the only one who is doing the punishing! It is that belittling, intimidating voice in your own head that is causing 100% of your suffering. I look forward to helping you challenge those voices! In the meantime, I'll add this to the latest Ask David podcast questions, in the hopes you might send the DML, and then Rhonda and I can comment in greater depth on the live program. Best, david Tomas kindly sent a Daily Mood Log, which you can see if you CLICK HERE As you can see, the Upsetting Event is simply “studying mathematics,” something he loves. However, he has the belief that if he allows himself to enjoy this or any activity, something terrible will happen to him. He traces this to a strict religious upbringing, and perhaps also to bullying he endured as a kid. You can see that this is intensely upsetting to him. If you look you will see that in 8 of the 9 categories of emotions on his Daily Mood Log (DML), he scores in the range of 80 to 100, which is intense and severe to extreme. The only emotion category that is not extremely elevated is the anger cluster, which he rated at only 40. You can see as well that his negative thoughts all involve the theme of punishment and destruction if he allows himself to feel happiness and enjoyment of life, or if he advances himself in life. In some of the emails he sent me, he traces this back to being bullied when young. . . possibly by kids who were jealous of his high IQ. As mentioned above, I don't throw methods (like exposure) at people based on a problem or diagnosis (in his case a phobia, the fear of happiness.) I also mentioned that I go through the T E A M model in a sequence, starting with Testing and Empathy, followed by the Assessment of Resistance and culminating in Methods. In addition, I always treat anxious patients with four powerful models, including the Motivational Model, the Cognitive Model, the Exposure Model, and the Hidden Emotion Model. I described these models above. The Motivational Model The Outcome Resistance has to do with the fact that Tomas may resist treatment because of his fear of the consequences of successfully achieving happiness. We will deal with that with Positive Reframing, including the Miracle Cure Question, the Magic Button, Positive Reframing, and the Magic Dial. In addition, we'll have to deal with Process Resistance. At some point, we will have to use exposure techniques, and we will want to find out if he's WILLING to do exposure even though it may be extremely anxiety provoking at first. We can dangle the carrot, letting him know that we anticipate a positive outcome, but also understand that facing his worst fears may be terrifying at first, and very uncomfortable. I will not try to persuade him to use any of the many versions of Exposure. He will have to persuade me that he's willing to do it. I suspect he will be, because he is asking for exposure, but if he says he wants to be treated without exposure, I will have to let him know I am not a good choice as a therapist for him! That's because I don't know how to defeat any form of anxiety without exposure. Of course, I cannot treat Tomas, or anyone, through an Ask David, but can only make teaching points. But I am teaching self-help techniques that have been helpful to many people. In an email, I asked him the Magic Button question, and he said he didn't think he'd push it. This indicates some understandable resistance that has to be dealt with. Positive Reframing is one way to deal with Outcome Resistance. The goal is not only deeper empathy but also helping patients “see” that the negative thoughts and feelings they are struggling so desperately to overcome are actually positive in many ways. Once they “see” this, it is kind of a pleasant shock to the system, and their resistance to change typically disappears. Then we ask them to set goals for each negative feelings—a lower level of each feeling that would allow them to feel better and not lose all the wonderful positives we have discovered. That's why it's better NOT to push the Magic Button. To help Tomas or anyone see and list the positives in their negative thoughts and feelings, we ask two key questions about each one: What are some possible advantages, or benefits, of this negative thought or feeling? How might it help me? What does this negative thought or feeling show about me and my core values as a human being that's positive and awesome? Typically, this leads to list of 10 to 20 positives that have three characteristics. To give you an example, his intense loneliness is an expression of his love for people and the great value he sees in meaningful relationships. And his anxiety serves to protect him from danger, and is therefore an expression of self-love. And his feelings of inferiority—in spite of his tremendous intelligence—show humility, which is not only a spiritual quality, but also can make a person of great intelligence more accessible, more vulnerable, and more attractive. Inferiority may also be an expression of his honesty and willingness to acknowledge his shortcomings, as well as his accountability. We could easily go on and on, and it might be a great exercise for you to try find the positives in several other of his negative thoughts and feelings by asking those two questions. Once my patient and I have listed 10 or more positives, I ask if these positives are True and valid? Powerful? Important? Nearly always, I get a resounding YES to each question. Then I use the Magic Dial to see what they might want to dial each negative feeling down to in the % Goal column of the Daily Mood Log. Is this Positive Reframing process straightforward? Easy? Not really. I make it look easy, because when I teach I want people to understand, but “seeing” these positives is, in reality, incredibly challenging for most people. In fact, You can see the Positive Reframing that Tomas completed on his own if you CLICK HERE As you can see Tomas almost completely missed the boat when he tried to identify the positives in his negative thoughts and feelings. I mention this because it is a CRUCIAL step in TEAM CBT, and people often have a tremendously hard time “seeing” the positives in their negative thoughts and feelings. A big part of the reason is that society teaches us the opposite. In fact, negative feelings are Labeled as a bewildering array of more than 200 so-called “mental disorders” by the American Psychiatric Association in their “bible,” the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.) But here's something even MORE surprising. Rhonda—a highly respected and admired TEAM CBT therapist and teacher—also struggles to find the positives during today's podcast. Once someone has pointed them out, you can suddenly “see” them. But on your own, you may have a lot of trouble at first with Positive Reframing, which is anything but simple, but extraordinarily powerful once you “get it.” I recently told my weekly Tuesday psychotherapy training group at Stanford that TEAM CBT is extraordinarily difficult to learn and master—nearly always requiring years of study and practice—and perhaps the most challenging form of psychotherapy ever developed. She was angry and told me I'd have to do large controlled outcome studies to validate that claim! Yikes! I may be wrong, and there could be other more difficult forms of therapy, but I still believe what I'm saying because I see it every single day. Many of the most powerful and helpful concepts, such as the four “Great Deaths” of the “self” for the therapist and for the patient in TEAM, and the Acceptance Paradox, and more are hard to learn! But worth it, IF you take the time to learn this method. And if you wish to use TEAM CBT, on yourself (for self-help) or with your patients (if you're a therapist) you will have much greater success after you master this powerful but elusive skill. The Cognitive Model After Rhonda and I worked with Positive Reframing, we went on to the technique that usually starts the M = Methods section, called “Explain the Distortions.” This powerful method includes answering three questions about one or several of the distortions you can find in one of the thoughts you want to work on first. First, select the thought and identify all the distortions in it, listing them by abbreviations in the Distortion column on your Daily Mood Log. For example, if it is an example of All-or-Nothing you can put AON in that column. And you can put OG for Overgeneralization, and so forth. Often, you will find five or even ten distortions in a single negative thought. Let's say you work on, “If I'm happy, I'll be destroyed.” This alarming thought includes AON; LAB, FT, DP, and ER. And it's also a Hidden SS. Choose the distortion you want to work on first. Let's say it's Fortune Telling (FT). Why is this distortion, FT, considered a thinking error in general? Why does the FT distortion your specific thought pretty much make the thought unreasonable? In other words, Why does the FT in your thought NOT map onto reality? And finally, why is the FT is this thought unfair? As an exercise, turn off the podcast for a moment and write down your answers to those three questions. Once you're done, you can check the answers at the end of the show notes. It's a great skill to practice and learn, because it will usually make it really easy for you to generate positive thoughts that satisfy the necessary and sufficient conditions for emotional change. Do you know what they are? Write them down before you look at the answers at the end of the show notes. Just take a guess, but WRITE SOMETHING DOWN before you look! But DON'T look until you've written down your own answers! Hey, did you peek, or did you write down the answers first? I get it! And I forgive you! However, you missed out on a great opportunity for learning if you skipped the written exercise. Or, to put it positively, I try to make the exercises fun and interesting. And if you do them, you'll learn some cool and helpful things rapidly. It's like riding a bicycle. You've got to get on and ride to learn how to do it! But here's what's really interesting. You'll notice that Rhonda, once again, really struggles with this exercise during the podcast. Although I think of Explain the Distortions as a really easy TEAM CBT method, experience with real people has over and over again provided abundant evidence that it's NOT easy for many, or possibly most, people at first. So, what's the point? Here's the point. If you're a therapist, this method is powerful, and will richly reward you for the time and effort you spend in learning how to do it! But you cannot take it for granted if you want to use it in an actual therapy session. And if you are simply looking for self-help, the exact same thing is true: the method is incredibly helpful and well worth some time and effort to “get it!” In addition, to challenging the obviously distorted thoughts on his Daily Mood Log, what other methods might be helpful to Tomas? The Exposure Model Well, there are a great many, including the Exposure techniques he was asking for. For example, he could intentionally make himself happy, and then fantasize some horrible punishment using Cognitive Flooding. The idea would be to make himself as anxious as possible for as long as possible, until he finally gets bored with the fantasy, which will definitely happen eventually, and the anxiety disappears. Exposure is terrifying at first, and it is supposed to be. That's whey and how it works! The Hidden Emotion Model There are many helpful variations on the Exposure front, and the Hidden Emotion Model might also be key. Is there some problem or issue in his life that Tomas is not dealing with? The Class on this technique in the (now entirely free for the summer of 2025 app) Feeling Great app has many details and exercises and examples to show how this mind-blowing technique works. That's it for today's podcast. I want to thank you, Tomas, for providing us with a fascinating problem, and all of you who send in your questions. We are SO GRATEFUL that you are bouncing back, Rhonda, after your ordeal with radiation therapy for your lymphoma, and send you all our love and best wishes for joyful and complete healing and liberation from your nightmare! Warmly, Rhonda and David Answers Here is my answer to first exercise on the necessary and sufficient conditions for emotional change from a positive thought. . The necessary condition for emotional change: The Positive Thought must be 100% correct. The sufficient condition for emotional change: The Positive Thought must reduce your belief in the disturbing negative thought. Sometimes you'll want to reduce it all the way to zero. Sometimes, that's not necessary, especially with Should Statements. Here are my answers to the three questions about Explain the Distortions above. In general, FT is a thinking error when you are making arbitrary alarming predictions without strong evidence that supports those predictions. In particular, there is no evidence that supports the claim that people who feel happy rapidly become the victims of some horrific disaster or punishment. This thought is very unrealistic because the ONLY punishment that Tomas has experienced is the result of his own negative thoughts! This thought is unfair because it puts Tomas in handcuffs so he will be unable to enjoy his life.

Read Online“Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to him in reply, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.”  Matthew 14:27–29Peter and the other disciples were frightened. They were in a boat on the Sea of Galilee, the wind was strong, and the waves were crashing. This scene took place “during the fourth watch of the night,” which meant the time was early in the morning, between 3:00 and 6:00 a.m., when it was still dark. Jesus had been alone on a mountain praying during that night and now came walking on the water toward the disciples. When they saw our Lord, they cried out, “It is a ghost!” But then Jesus spoke the words quoted above to them, calming them and calling them to courage and trust.Imagine yourself being with the disciples as Jesus approached. How would you react? Would you, too, be filled with fear? Perhaps it is best to answer that question from two perspectives. One is from the perspective of our fallen human nature. The other comes from the perspective of Truth. First, from the perspective of our fallen human nature, there are many things in this life that tempt us to fear. Therefore, this Gospel passage should be seen as a prophetic action of our Lord by which He tells you that He wants to come to you and meet you in your fears. What is it that gives you the most fear in your life right now? Oftentimes fear has to do with the future and the unknown. What if this or that were to happen? Fear ultimately results from a lack of faith in God and His protective care.The second perspective from which we might see this passage is that of the full Truth. The truth is that the disciples not only had no need to fear, they actually had every reason to rejoice and be at peace. While on that boat, in the middle of the sea, in the middle of the night, during strong winds, it was God Himself, the Great I AM, Who was coming to protect them, care for them, and lead them safely to shore. Jesus' “it is I” could actually be translated more literally “I AM” in reference to Jesus' divinity.The last word in the passage quoted above is what Jesus speaks to all of us when we fall into fear and worry. Jesus says, “Come.” This word is a command and is a word spoken to you. It's a good word to prayerfully meditate upon and hear spoken to you during every struggle and fear you endure. Reflect, today, upon this Gospel passage and try to insert yourself into it. See the waves, wind, and darkness as symbols of whatever it is that troubles you the most. As you do, close your eyes and see Jesus, the Great I AM, coming to you. Gaze at Him and hear Him tell you to trust Him. Hear Him say to you, “Come.” Peter initially trusted and began to walk on water when he came to Jesus, but he quickly allowed his fear to set in and took his eyes off Jesus. As soon as he did, he began to sink. Turn your eyes to Jesus, keep them firmly fixed on Him, ignore the temptations in life that lead you to fear, and trust in God. He commands you to do so out of love. My saving Lord, You are God, the Great I AM, the Creator, Ruler and King of all. You and You alone are worthy of all my trust, dear Lord. When I struggle in life and allow fear to overwhelm me, please call to me and give me the wisdom and courage I need to fix my eyes firmly upon You and to come to You without faltering. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Brooklyn MuseumSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Pastor John Ryan Cantu brings this week's message, “A Conversation." John 4:4-26 NLT: “He had to go through Samaria on the way. Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime. Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.” He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food. The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?” Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” “But sir, you don't have a rope or a bucket,” she said, “and this well is very deep. Where would you get this living water? And besides, do you think you're greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed?” Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.” “Please, sir,” the woman said, “give me this water! Then I'll never be thirsty again, and I won't have to come here to get water.” “Go and get your husband,” Jesus told her. “I don't have a husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said, “You're right! You don't have a husband— for you have had five husbands, and you aren't even married to the man you're living with now. You certainly spoke the truth!” “Sir,” the woman said, “you must be a prophet. So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?” Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. But the time is coming—indeed it's here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” The woman said, “I know the Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus told her, “I Am the Messiah!”" If you enjoyed the podcast, please subscribe and share it with your friends on social media.

Join Mary in this guided meditation as she walks you through visualization and affirmations that will help shift the limiting belief of I am not good enough to I am enough. Listen along as this practice will target the unhelpful belief at the root level (the subconscious mind) and bring new awareness and emotion to the conscious mind. Through repetition and intentionally generating emotion we will create new thoughts and relearn the more empowering belief of I am Enough.

In this episode of the KuppingerCole Analyst Chat, host Matthias Reinwarth welcomes Martin Kuppinger, Founder and Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole, to discuss the evolution of the Identity Fabric. Originally introduced as a visual tool in 2017–2018, the Identity Fabric has matured into a foundational framework for modern identity and access management. The conversation covers the motivations behind its creation, its flexibility in addressing various identity types, and its role in simplifying complex IAM architectures. Martin also explains the rationale for a leaner version of the model, aimed at executive stakeholders, and offers a glimpse into the forward-looking Identity Fabric for the 2040s. In this episode, you’ll learn:✅Where the Identity Fabric concept began✅Why a leaner version is needed — and who it’s for✅How to pitch Identity Fabric to C-level decision makers✅What the 2040s might look like for IAM✅How organizations and vendors alike are using this model today Whether you're deep in IAM or just starting to align your strategy, this episode breaks down how to communicate complex identity concepts more clearly.

“Nothing so conclusively proves one's ability to lead others as what he does fromday to day to lead himself.” – Thomas J. Watson Sr.HEALTHY HABITS serve as pulleys to lighten your load and INCREASEyour leadership capacity.1. EXCEPTIONAL leaders continually model HUMILITY.Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comeswisdom."People would rather follow a leader who is always real rather than alwaysright.”—Craig Groeschel2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for mypower is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladlyabout my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, forChrist's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, indifficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.2. Exceptional leaders learn how to HANDLE CRITICISM.Proverbs 15:1 A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.Mark 15:1-5 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, theteachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they boundJesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. “Are you the king of theJews?” asked Pilate. “You have said so,” Jesus replied.   The chief priests accusedhim of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren't you going to answer? Seehow many things they are accusing you of.” But Jesus still made no reply, andPilate was amazed.Sometimes as a leader you RESPOND to criticism, and other times you justABSORB IT.Psalm 18:1-2 GNTD How I love you, LORD! You are my defender. The LORD ismy protector; he is my strong fortress. My God is my protection, and with him Iam safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe.3. Exceptional leaders allow GOD to LEAD THEM.The leader who ADVANCES in the future is the one who RETREATS toGod's word.Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will giveyou rest.

Yes, "Dare to Dream" and then step into understanding the real direction of your life through your heart centered connection.In this episode, I'm offering encouragement, support and insights that center on communicating with your own self awareness.  Specifically, through our astrology charts we're being shown where we have a chance to step up and out into unique expression.Let's be clear.  The world as we know it, in terms of how daily situations, societal customs, mores, political, religious, family, educational and just about every system appears to be total upended.But there is something that is still very much intact.  You are the absolute arbiter, sovereign, and center of your life.  As you are reading these words,  I can hear, "what can I do, I'm just one person. Where's my power?"Truth.  Your power, my power is in deciding to know ourselves.  During this Leo season  and beyond, but especially now it is critical and crucial to embody your gifts, talents, abilities and being that only you can express.  Wherever Leo, the Sun and the connections(aspects, transits) are positioned in your chart, is where you need to take heart, and be courageous enough to step forth. Perhaps, you are asking "how do I learn to use my astrology map directions?" Learn the basics of your chart. https://www.soulsoundinsights.com/free-10-day-astrology-challenge.htmlThe other important thing for this Leo season is to pick something that you really want to embrace.  Choose one or two people where you feel safe and comfortable, and tell them about what you are "Daring to Dream" and are willing to step forward to accomplish, and further where you are willing to stand in the "spotlight".Be Bold.  If you are feeling  in your heart that something is important to, and for you, then it is!  Go For It.  Do you want to sing,,,sing.  Do you want to teach something ...teach.  Do you want to participate in a  "New Freedom March"... march,  connect with other people, stand together.  This is the time for a monumental changes, and it starts with your deepest heart-filled intention.  We are each an "Original".  Here's a mantra:  "I Am an Original, and I stand in my own Light for all to see."Dare to Dream Let's have an Astrology Conversation. I look forward to seeing you. Now is the time.https://www.soulsoundinsights.com/light-reading.htmlhttps://www.soulsoundinsights.com/music-musings-meditation.htmlI am proud to announce my new offering as a Certified Creative Depth Coach.

V najnovšej epizóde podcastu suSPEAK na ŠPORT.sk privítali moderátori Marek Marušiak a Rasťo Konečný jednu z najväčších streleckých osobností slovenskej extraligy Romana Tománka. Takmer 40-ročný rodák z malebného Milochova v Považskej Bystrici sa otvorene rozhovoril o svojej bohatej kariére aj prešľapoch, ktoré ju ovplyvnili.Charizmatický útočník, ktorý bol v roku 2004 draftovaný Phoenixom Coyotes v rovnakom ročníku ako Alexander Ovečkin či Jevgenij Malkin, sa v rozhovore vrátil k hokejovým začiatkom. Ako chlapec, ktorého hokej bavil nielen na štadióne, ale aj mimo neho - či už pri vytváraní hokejok z čísel autobusov, alebo zo zemiakových vriec.Roman Tománek bol najlepším strelcom majstrovstiev sveta do 18 rokov, o prvenstvo sa delil s Philom Kesselom. Napriek talentu však v rozhovore priznáva, že vtedy ani nevedel, čo draft znamená.V najnovšej epizóde podcastu suSPEAK na ŠPORT.sk sa dozviete detaily aj o premiére Romana Tománka v kempe Phoenixu, kde neveril vlastným očiam, keď ho trénoval Wayne Gretzky. Rovnako úprimne porozprával aj o svojom pôsobení v zahraničí - od divokých zážitkov v Kazachstane, kde zažil cestu po púšti a aj ulomené koleso, až po nemeckú precíznosť v Rostocku.Fanúšikovia slovenského hokeja si určite vychutnajú spomienky na pôsobenie v Nitre, kde vytvoril obávané ofenzívne duo s Jozefom Stümpelom. Hovoril aj o tom, že v jednej sezóne mal po desiatom zápase 0+0, no nakoniec skončili s vyše 70 bodmi. Roman Tománek má na konte viac ako 40-gólovú sezónu v extralige a patrí k hokejistom, ktorým chýba vo vitríne len slovenský titul. Dvakrát sa dostal do finále - najprv s Nitrou, potom s Banskou Bystricou, vždy však ťahal za kratší koniec.V rozhovore si zaspomína na „staré časy” aj Rasťo Konečný, ktorý s Romanom Tománkom zdieľal spoločný ľad, a prezradil, ako vyzerali ich spoločné rozcvičky: „‚Gejzo' si zobral puk, ‚prešmotlal' a vystrelil. A my dvaja mu hovoríme, že by sme si mohli ten puk ešte vymeniť. A Gejzo: ‚Sorry, chalani. Ja si skúšam'.”Skúsený útočník, ktorý síce dnes stále hrá, ale zároveň už aj trénuje mládež v Považskej Bystrici, sa zamyslel aj nad pokračovaním svojej aktívnej kariéry: „V mojom veku je to v tomto smere už také, že ak to nebude mať význam, ani hlavu, ani pätu, tak to jednoducho ukončím.”Rozhovor uzatvoril úprimným odkazom mladým hokejistom, v ktorom upozornil, že jeho príbeh je príkladom toho, ako môžu byť blízko k rozprávkovej kariére, ale zároveň od nej aj ďaleko. Zdôraznil, že talent nestačí, dôležitá je drina a schopnosť požiadať v ťažkých chvíľach o pomoc.

The Israelites had turned away from the Lord, doing evil in His sight. Then the Midianites invaded Israel. They were cruel to the Israelites, leaving them no food, taking their cattle, goats and sheep. When the Israelites were close to starvation, they turned to their God, Jehovah, for help.So the Lord said to Gideon, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I Am sending you!” God is Jehovah M'Kaddesh, the Lord God Almighty Who Sanctifies. “I am the Lord, who makes you holy.” Exodus‬ ‭31‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬#kids, #storiesforkids, #biblestoriesforkids, #bedtimestoriesforkids, #christiankids, #jehovahm'kaddesh, #thelordwhosanctifies, #thelordgodalmighty, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb

In this solo episode, I'm getting really real about my experience navigating the “soft girl era” and the ways it almost made me lose herself entirely.   From moving across the country and completing my Pilates certification to untangling the spiritual programming that labeled my ambition as “too masculine,” I'm sharing a raw unfiltered account of reclaiming my voice, my vision, and the part of me that's always been driven to go, do, and become.   Whether you've dabbled in the neo-spiritual space, been told to “be more in your feminine,” or just feel like you're drifting away from your fire, this episode is a must-listen.   In today's episode, I cover:   Why I moved away from the neo-spiritual space The dangers of romanticizing passivity in the name of femininity How the “soft girl era” disconnected me from her goals, health, and sense of self The difference between balance and harmony, and why high performers need the latter Why abandoning structure isn't healing (and what real integration looks like)   I'm NOT anti-softness. I AM very pro reclamation of the ambitious woman's right to FUCKING GO FOR IT without shame.

Today we look at “I AM the Bread of Life.” As Jesus makes this statement, we find that it is difficult to understand what he is trying to tell us. We break this down in this episode. What is Jesus trying to tell us? What does it mean for us today? Are there actions we need to take to make this understanding a part of us? SCRIPTURES USED IN THIS EPISODE: John 6:26 Exodus 16:4 John 6:35 Psalm 119:97, 102-103 Jeremiah 15:16 Deuteronomy 8:2-3 John 6:48-49 John 6:51 John 6:52 John 6:55-58 CHECK OUT OUR EXCLUSIVE SPONSOR Hero Care Packages.

In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson engages in a profound conversation with Howard Falco about the power of self-identity, the significance of 'I Am' statements, and the journey from addiction to recovery. They explore the importance of self-awareness, the role of faith in personal growth, and how to overcome fear and embrace change. Howard shares his personal journey of self-discovery and the insights that led him to write his books, emphasizing the infinite potential within each individual. The discussion highlights the need for empowerment through understanding and forgiveness, and how past experiences can be reframed to foster growth and purpose. Takeaways The 'I Am' statement shapes our identity and potential. Self-awareness is crucial for personal growth and recovery. Transitioning from addiction requires a willingness to change. Fear often holds individuals back from realizing their potential. Faith can be a powerful motivator in overcoming challenges. Past experiences do not define our future; we can choose who we want to be. Understanding one's identity can alleviate feelings of shame and guilt. Empowerment comes from recognizing one's infinite potential. The present moment is the most important time for change. Personal forgiveness is essential for healing and growth. Howard Falco is an American self empowerment expert, author, speaker and spiritual teacher who specializes in the power of the mind.

The Israelites had turned away from the Lord, doing evil in His sight. Then the Midianites invaded Israel. They were cruel to the Israelites, leaving them no food, taking their cattle, goats and sheep. When the Israelites were close to starvation, they turned to their God, Jehovah, for help. So the Lord said to Gideon, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I Am sending you!” God is Jehovah M'Kaddesh, the Lord God Almighty Who Sanctifies. “I am the Lord, who makes you holy.” Exodus‬ ‭31‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬ #kids, #storiesforkids, #biblestoriesforkids, #bedtimestoriesforkids, #christiankids, #jehovahm'kaddesh, #thelordwhosanctifies, #thelordgodalmighty, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb

Arynn provides valuable insights into the mission of DIAF, which aims to make professional development in identity more accessible through merit-based awards like the Kim Cameron Award for newcomers and the Victoria O'Connor Award for established professionals.The group discusses the critical question of how the industry can attract new talent. Do people choose a career in identity, or does it choose them? They explore the importance of outreach to universities, the power of social media, and reframing the narrative around identity to focus on its mission-driven impact on society.

In today's episode, I sit down with Mark Papadas, author, coach, and founder of I AM 4 Kids, to talk about building self-identity early in life. After years of coaching adults, Mark realized real change starts with kids, teaching them to control their own "I Am" statements before negative self-talk takes root. We break down how children pick up damaging beliefs without anyone intentionally teaching them, and why phrases like "I'm fat" or "I'm stupid" become internalized far too young. Mark shares how persistence, curiosity, and ingenuity come naturally to kids, and how keeping those traits alive can transform their confidence for life. His work combines entertainment, education, and family coaching to rewire how kids view themselves.
