EPISODE LXXXIII: LESSONS IN BLESSINGS

We go through some really bad situations in life, but perhaps if we look deep enough, we can find something good in our misfortune.  We can learn something.  Whether it be what not to do next time, or perhaps we can see through the fire that something good happened because of it.  It's so hard and it takes time to practice and learn, but it's possible because in the end, everything's possible.   MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE BAD DAY - Daniel Powter FALLING - Alicia Keys WHITE LIES - Odesza TRY AGAIN - Aliyah MY LAST SERENADE - Killswitch Engage ONE LOVE - Bob Marley

EPISODE LXXXII: ON TOO MANY CONDITIONS

The conditioning of humanity.  It starts at an early age and becomes embedded.  How we think and act and we never question it.  However what if we did.  how can we live more authentically and find our true nature.  I talk about this.  It's a heavy one. You've been warned. MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE   SEVEN YEARS - Lukas Graham HUMAN BEHAVIOR - Bjork MAD WORLD - Gary Jules CRAZY WORLD - Scorpions CATS IN THE CRADDLE - Harry Chapin TAKE A PICTURE - Filter THE CHILD IN US - Enigma

GO BACK AND DO OVER

There is nothing more annoying than starting over. At least for some people and it was for me for the longest time. The phrase begin again has been burned into my head for the last couple of years now. It could mean something small like building a piece of furniture and seeing you missed an instruction. Maybe it's something big, like putting together plans to build a house and seeing you made a wrong measure, or you made a bad investment that wiped out most of your money. Hell it could mean creating an episode and realizing half of it has really bad quality, so I need to redo it. (read more)  

EPISODE LXXXI: THE PIT

 Sometimes when life gets very rough and we get to a point that there's no putting on the brakes.  No turning back.  We put ourselves in a pit of shame and anger.  The thing is we cannot live there.  I have been in the pit many times in my life and it has had dire consequences for me and loved ones.  I will tell you my survival guide on how to stay out of and what to do if I get close to reentering. MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE THE FALL - Ministry FALLING - Rezz/Underoath WINGS OF SOLITUDE - Celtic Frost THE BALLAD - Testament LIFE GOES ON - Poison EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT - Killers

TAKING THE HARD WAY OUT

One of the things I have always said is that it's easy to find the negatives. It's easy to blame other people. It's easy to just run away from your problems. Maybe you turn to drugs or alcohol. Maybe you find some other dangerous activity to indulge in to avoid the pain and suffering. The thing is it doesn't go away unless you do the work. So why not do the work and find better results.

EPISODE LXXX: THE PLAN

 In order to make things work well, we are always told you have to have a plan.  Like the old saying goes if you fail to plan, plan to fail.  However, we can be always be flexible and look back and what we didn't do last year and what we want to do.  Find that excitement and go with it.  MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE NOTHING ELSE MATTERS - Metallica DESIRE - U2 IN THE DARK - Billy Squier LET GO - Deadmau5 feat: Grabitz BAKER STREET - Gerry Raffery A CHANGE IS GONNA COME - Greta Van Fleet
