The importance of being Pleasant is not to be dismissed, You may think it means being a pushover, but I disagree, It can sometimes take far more strength than just making a fist, Because it requires you to have empathy to a significant degree. [full text below] Ep. 403 - Pleasantly Happy We begin as always with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy, in Balance and Growth, of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! The importance of being Pleasant is not to be dismissed, You may think it means being a pushover, but I disagree, It can sometimes take far more strength than just making a fist, Because it requires you to have empathy to a significant degree. I encounter people in bad moods on a regular basis, And I sometimes want to tell them to go take a flying leap, But that just pollutes the waters of my mental oasis, Resulting in nothing more than a psychological garbage heap. But being Pleasant, on the other hand, can sometimes work wonders, Once they realize I'm unflappable, they can stop pushing quite so hard, They might even apologize for their attitude and their blunders, And then I get to be the bigger person and someone they can't disregard. I grew up on a street that provided access to the cemetery in my town, They called the street Pleasant to make it seem nice and quiet, I imagine a name like Cemetery Lane wouldn't have had the same renown, And if it was called Death Road, the town parade might've turned into a riot. But Pleasant Street wasn't always peaceful, there were fights, funerals and speeding cars, We lost more than one beloved housepet over the years to drivers not paying attention, And there were dog attacks, rivalries and acts of bullying that left lasting scars, As well as forms of cruelty beyond levels of above-average comprehension. So I learned to be tough because in my house you needed a thick skin, And yet I didn't want to grow up to be cold, bitter, angry, hateful or afraid, So I left Pleasant Street, while still carrying some of those feelings deep within, And ridding myself of that pain has been something of a lifelong crusade. Who else but such a one as that would do a weekly podcast about Balance and Growth, Trying to come to terms with the unpleasantness that can sometimes bubble forth, But I don't just want to pretend to be Pleasant, which can come off as fake and forced both, I try to find real reasons to actually feel and be Pleasant letting Happy be my True North. Used to be that behind my smiling mask was a face of pure vengeance and hot fury, I couldn't fight all the Mean People at once, so I sat brooding, plotting their eventual demise, Someday, I vowed, when least they expected it, I would be their executioner, judge and jury, And then I'd laugh, and bury them so deep that no one would ever catch wise. But the further I got from Pleasant Street, the more I could let those bad old feelings go, And as I did I realized that underneath all that darkness there was light, I remembered the days long before bullies ever came into my life and brought me low, Back when people arguing who could claim to be my best friend was the only fight. I was Pleasant and Happy, and what I once was, I was sure I could be again, I just had to strip away all the old bad habits, aggression and grudges I was holding on to, Not for anyone else, but for myself, I needed to decide there and then That I would aim for Balance and Growth in all that I say and do. It took me a minute, and it's not smooth sailing always even now, I've had to suffer through heartbreak and tragedy, near death experiences and loss, But even when I get stressed I still find causes to smile and you want to know how? I remember that Happy comes from within, and knowing that makes me my own boss. Haha Yowza
Jason talks with listeners about whether the rash of recent shootings should keep people from coming to downtown Minneapolis.
Just when you think things are going well for you, BAM! Someone criticizes you, you get rejected, or you don't get chosen for an opportunity that meant everything to you. A rush of anger, panic and shame rises up, and next thing you know, you feel like you CAN'T. DO. ANYTHING. You freeze, stuck in procrastination, struggling to stay focused or follow through on plans. This disabling reaction to emotional hurt is a known symptom of CPTSD and a common experience for those of us who grew up with abuse and neglect. And though you're not doing it on purpose, when you go into freeze mode, it can keep you stuck "playing small." In this video, I talk about the way cruel remarks and treatment can be so damaging to our productivity, and what we can do to both stand up for ourselves, and avoid falling into long periods of neurological dysregulation, procrastination and avoidance.

Have you ever felt crushed by someone else's words? Maybe it was a bully from your past, a toxic co-worker, or even just someone who was having a bad day and decided to take it out on you. It's tough, isn't it? Those moments can leave us feeling small, second-guessing ourselves, or even spiraling into worst-case scenarios. In today's episode, we're diving deep into the messy world of bullies, mean people, and catastrophizing. We're going to break it all down—how to handle the hurt, why some people act the way they do, and most importantly, how to stop letting their words and actions take up so much space in your head. But that's not all—we're also going to tackle that sneaky little habit so many of us fall into: catastrophizing. You know, that thing where you convince yourself that one awkward conversation or one bad day means your whole life is falling apart. Sound familiar? You're not alone. By the end of this episode, you're going to walk away feeling lighter, more in control, and armed with the tools to rise above negativity—whether it's from other people or your own mind. So grab your coffee, throw on your sneakers, or settle into your favorite spot. We're about to get real, raw, and ridiculously empowering. ✅ FREE CLASS!

Can you actually forgive really mean people? Yes, it is possible with God's help. This week of The Grudge will offer guidance on letting go of the past and embracing true forgiveness you have in Christ.
When mean people hurt us, our natural impulse is to get even. But reacting in anger perpetuates conflict, increases the control that mean people hold over you, compels you to violate your values, and remakes you in the image of your enemies. Thankfully there's another way, a way that honors God, builds our identity in Christ, and diminishes the power that mean people hold over us. Jesus modeled this third way in the New Testament, and Paul talked about it too, but it is also taught in the Old Testament by a woman named Abigail.

This message is the first in a new two-week series, "What to Do About Mean People." We focus on how our impulse to get even perpetuates conflict and multiples our problems. If we can resist this impulse long enough to ask ourselves a few questions, we can respond (instead of react) in a way that honors God and diminishes the power that mean people try to hold over us.If this message is a blessing, you can support our ministries by donating at www.fumccb.com.

Yep, there's no way around it--your purpose involves interacting with others. Have you noticed that it's so much easier to be kind, loving, and forgiving when no one is around?! The people in your life who are difficult aren't a hindrance to fulfilling your purpose--THEY ARE PART OF YOUR PURPOSE. They're in your life for a reason, and you're in their lives for a reason. We all want people in our life who care about us, who treat us well, who are sincerely concerned about our emotional and physical well being. If we're honest, most of us would say that the people in our lives fall short. They don't understand what we're trying to say, they get offended or hurt, they're demanding, their expectations of us are too high (don't they understand all the other things we have to do besides meet their needs?)... etc. But let's flip the script on this and consider that instead of hoping that others will be kind and loving to us we can be the ones to show kindness, love, patience, gentleness, generosity, mercy and all of the other things that we would like others to give us. When we do that, we model for others how it's done. Yes it's difficult, but by putting up with people and all their idiosyncrasies, we develop the good character traits within us, while at the same time, literally changing the atmosphere around us. Yep, dealing with difficult people with love and kindness (even if we have to do it through gritted teeth) makes us better people. If we do it long enough, we become the best version of ourselves. When we are our best possible selves, we attract good people into our lives. The irony is that even if the people to whom we show loving kindness cannot or will not be kind to us, others will come into our lives who will care about us. When we're at our best, we attract others who share the same love and kindness. In this episode of the Find Your Purpose Now Podcast we talk about shifting our mindset from expectations of others to caring for others expecting nothing in return. More irony--It's when we do this that things start changing. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

Here's something you don't always think about - sin is often expressed nicely. There are millions of people who express their sin in nice person ways. They might be really involved in church, they might give a lot of time, effort, and money within the community. They might be sweet, polite, kind, even moral. But inwardly they are still rejecting Jesus on a daily basis. There is no earning salvation. It comes only through the faith of Jesus Christ. The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle. We're excited to be under construction on a brand new building in our hometown of King, NC.

My colleague Molly suggested that because I'm a Buddhist boy and I'm running for a local city council race, that I talk a bit about how I deal with mean people, trolls, or personal attacks...from a Buddhist point of view. What is the Buddhist advice on that? That's something I'm asking myself all the time. How does Buddhism advise mindfully handling ad hominem (meaning personal, often anonymous or unfair) attacks? Remember, only subscribers get the full conversation.
