March 05, 2021 Ep. 16: Confessions of a GRG
This episode is meant to open the door for context into who this GRG person is and where he's coming from.
I wanted to do this episode as a personal challenge in understanding the development of my character, my journey of resilience, and my ambitions, so that I could more effectively communicate this important chapter of Social Prowess.
Both the development of Mental and Spiritual resilience begin with independent action -- mostly invisible to an observer. However, to grow in depth with either of these, we must be willing to test our mettle in the real world though social interaction. Do our foundations hold up?
In offering some insight into my development, my hope is to develop a sense of furthered trust, because this chapter is the one that encourages the compounded growth in the other two domains.

December 18, 2020 Welcome Back, GRG!
Generic Resilient Guy is back!
After a long hiatus it's been long overdue to get the content rolling again, and close out our series.
A lot has gone on this year, and even since the last episode! The need to be resilient is more needed than ever...
Everyone struggles, even people who KNOW how to practice resilience.
There's a lot we can learn though study, reflection, and self-practice, but we truly grow once we bring our skills, talents, ideas, and beliefs to the community, especially when sharing value with others.
Community provides a lot of support we can't get anywhere else, to include accountability, and sanity checks.
In the midst of this Holiday Season, it's important to consider how you can give your value to others.
Ultimately, this is what pushed GRG to make the leap and jump back in.
What value can you provide that will bring you joy this season?
Get ready! We are about to jump into our new season of SOCIAL PROWESS!

July 06, 2020 Ep. 14: Them Strength Gains [STRENGTHS]
Spiritual Vigor is highly depending on having a purpose in life
Purpose is fueled by aligning passions with values
Passionate work is the result of leveraging our unique talents and leading strengths.
We've all heard the term "play to your strengths," right?
It may seem obvious, but what does that actually mean?
Well, let's take a look at that.
Talents, Strengths, and Skills
Talents - Natural ability that can be nurtured and grown, dependent on an individuals God-given capacity for it.
Strengths - "soft" abilities (character traits/tendencies) that are universally present in all people, but uniquely leveraged
Skills - Ability that can be cultivated, practiced, and leveraged by anyone regardless of experience or natural talent.
In order to determine your leading or "Signature" Strengths, I highly encourage you to go to:

June 17, 2020 Ep. 13.3: Strategic Purpose [PURPOSE Pt. 3]
This is PART III of the episode on PURPOSE.
Thank you for joining me on the journey so far.
When designing our ideal life, having an answer to the following three questions is crucial in determining what will ultimately keep pulling you forward, and how you are going to stand up to the task.
What do you want?
Why does it matter?
Who must you become?
Our hope is to find a purpose that we can use to say:
If all else is lost -- “At least I have _____”
Then double check your reasoning by asking:
“Can ___ Be lost?”
After you BEGIN to articulate what you want, or at least the direction you want to go,
…create IMMEDIATE, SHORT-TERM, and LONG-TERM goals that are all oriented with your VALUES
Over time, we will have clearer and clearer idea of what our purpose is, and as such it's important to reevaluate whether or not the goals we created are still in line with our values, and whether the outcome of those goals will contribute toward our clearer definition of our purpose.
ID your beliefs
ID your Values
Define your direction
Align your actions
Assess results
Define/Refine Purpose along the way
But remember to constantly LIVE in purpose

June 11, 2020 Ep. 13.2: Passion is What's in Fashion [PURPOSE Pt. 2]
PART 2 OF PURPOSE
Purpose isn’t a destination, it’s a journey of growth.
Yes, every journey begins with a step, but we need provisions along the way.
As much as some people will claim otherwise, you can’t “grind”/ “hustle” your way to fulfillment.
When you live in purpose it isn’t a “someday”-type thing. It’s an EVERYDAY thing.
Be careful to identify YOUR values and purpose, or else you may simply adopt those with which you are most exposed (family, occupation, surrounding community).
A conflict of values will always lead to strife (both internally and between peoples…)
Values are the “why” behind your WHY. 🗝
Passions are the lifeblood of your WHY. 💪
Passion is defined as a strong liking or desire FOR or devotion TO some activity, object, or concept.
It is also attributed to the willingness to suffer for said devotion.
As the saying goes, “Find something you are willing to die for, and live for it”
Passions, when expressed in alignment with values, will feel like an extension of your spiritual wellness.
It’s that righteous feeling in your chest when you know you are doing the right thing, even if the circumstances are uncomfortable.

June 10, 2020 Ep. 13.1: Every Journey Has to Start Somewhere [PURPOSE Pt. 1]
This Episode is the first of 3 in the series on PURPOSE.
Purpose isn't simply given; Purpose is accepted
In order to live in PURPOSE, one must first decide that THIS is what they want.
Once you WANT to live in purpose--
(opposed to how you are CURRENTLY living)
-- Then you recognize that changes must be made.
Discontentment,
Boredom, and
Exhaustion from the grind...
--> All indicators that positive CHANGE is needed.
But in order to justify the desired changes, and limit any cognitive dissidence:
You must first begin your transformation into the person who CAN live in purpose.
Purpose is a journey, not a destination.
Every journey begins with the first step.
ONCE/WHEN you begin to get an idea of the first steps you want to take, in ANY direction you know requires improvement,
…you start to clearly see WHAT you want,
…which allows you to begin understanding WHERE you are going,
…WHY it matters, and
…WHO you need to become.

June 08, 2020 2Mo Old! #LeadWithValues #iValue_weValue
The Good, Morning Quarantine Podcast is now 2 months old!
(Yes, I'm a little slower on tying a bow on this project, but nevertheless we aren't out of the Age of Quarantine just yet!)
2020 is shaping up to be an.....extra-ordinary year, to say the least.
Establishing, and agreeing upon, common values provide an anchor for the discussion to rest, even when differences of opinion arise.
For those of us actually looking for solutions, we are more similar than we are different.
Honestly, leading with values is something we already do, we just don’t recognize it.
Why not articulate the value you are expressing?
Yes it seems a bit tedious and overly detailed.
But isn’t that what we need right now?
We need a sturdy foundation from which to build relationships, community, and a better world for all.

If you, like me, think this kind of content can improve the world, one person at a time, please share.
At least try and be a fellow voice of the message behind this content.
But again, in my humble opinion, sharing the podcast itself is the easiest option.

May 29, 2020Ep. 12: Becoming Aware with Prayer [PRAYER & LOA]
The first step in any spiritual growth journey is to determine the our values vs what we value.
Once we understand our values, we can:
Seek answers.

Direct our attention with intention,

Recognize, associate, and establish connections to our values,

Align our actions appropriately,

Realize our purpose and our passion
This episode deals with the second and third pieces of this puzzle.
Prayer is a powerful tool because it is a form of communication.
Even if we overlook the association with a higher power, practicing prayer combines the benefits of affirmation and meditation,
Observing the flow of attention

Putting words to concerns and ambitions

Recognizing boundaries of control

Recognizing trust where it needs to be
