Keep it a Bu¢k Podcast

What is a goal? Do you have one? Did you have one? Sometimes in life we let life itself get in the way of the things that matter most to you. Today Saani urges his listeners to remember and pursue their goals! 

In our culture often times we tend to nevermind others problems if it doesn't quite effect us as much. What one problem is to one group may not be a problem to another. Respect the the underlying principle when addressing problems and how people on each end of the spectrum should address and receive them. 

Platonic friends is a term that is often misused as well as misunderstood. The societal pressures that have been created by our dishonesty, greed and lack of character ultimately have led us to distrust. Because of this when in a relationship, significant others often have the tendency to take issue with the friend seeing them as a threat. Having friends of the opposite isn't a bad thing, in fact I believe it is a vital part of being a well rounded member of our society. Trust is the overbearing guideline to any friendship and platonic relationships defer none. 

Relationships consist of two equal parts merging to improve on their original form. Humans are all made different so this can often be a challenge. Relationships take patience, dedication, understanding and sacrifice. That being said there will be some things you do, say or ways in which you think that may need to be tailored to fit your relationship and your partners needs. The slippery slope is when you can no longer constitute the adjustments as tailoring and they start to look more like a mutation as where you can't even identify whom you were previous to the relationship. 

Our social status has become the Pinnacle of our goals. Instead of wanting to be something for ourselves we have altered our priority list to be what others want us to be. That being said something that keeps us from that realm in which we seek is considered weak or a sign of inadequacy. Certain symptoms of Depression happen in life, its natural. Whats unnatural is suppressing them to hide your vulnerabilities to remain.."Cool'. The Coolest thing you can be on this earth is yourself. 

Knowledge of the world has only grown more vast with the ages. Subsequently we have never been further away from ourselves. Searching within is a practice rarely taught and applied even more scarcely. That why it is no wonder we try to keep things from others, mainly ourselves which also leads us to falsely believe we can hide things from God. We’ve configured a way to keep the rest of the world out and only allow our brain to register the things about ourselves that we want presented, a false reality. Well guess what, God doesn’t live in your reality, your head nor does he play by your rules. It’s time to give back whats owed to him, fortunately for us all that is is just fully trusting in him and having a direct line of communication to ask for forgiveness along with the other things we want. I urge you to keep it a Bu¢k with God and he will do the same with you.

Society has reduced the imagination to be a stage of adolescents. I argue that it’s not a juvenile feature at all. Sure we all discover we have imaginations as kids, but some where along the way we are taught or suggested to leave them with the things of our childhood. Your imagination is limitless, it’s also one of the only things that can’t be restricted. Personally I believe that each and everyone of us has a unique perspective and gifts provided by God, that being said its important to note I don’t think it could be accessed without using your imagination. 

Do you have what it takes? What a cliche line right……or is it. The things that we feel we’re obligated to do sometimes get in the way of what we want to and should be committed to. That being said I’d be remise if I didn’t mention just because they get in the way doesn’t mean they stop us. The choice not to do something is just that, a choice. When your commitment to something is so strong it enslaves you than and only than can you say you tried. If you examine the best it is evident that they all made major sacrifices in the pursuit of their craft, that sacrifice is….commitment.

Relationships comprise of separate entities combing to co-exist if not make each other better. So why do we often times fight our placement in such equations? Is it Pride, misguided tension or something deeper? Saani uses examples of symbiotic relationships to delve deeper into roles in relationships and how important they are. He also briefly chronicles Marcus Garvey in the U.S. History segment.

The disadvantages of being from the an impoverished neighborhood  are plenty and well documented. From lack of resources to virtually no  real government support. But don’t be fooled there are an ARRY of things to be learned from residing in the hood that can be applied to everyday life. Saani titles these things your ‘Hood Spidey Senses’, abilities unique to being raised in the hood. Come and see if you have these hidden senses that you just hadn’t realized you’ve been blessed with.
