There are many ways to personal and professional growth but there is one I believe is overlooked a lot. Listen up! 

In this episode I play the almost 2 minute clip of South Carolina singer Gracie Wood who racially slurred everyone she could think of along with a group of her friends. Listen at your own risk. Gracie does swear in her audio (so children should be cleared from you listening space.) #Graciewood 

The word narcissist has become an oft used label these days and that fact of the matter is everyone knows one.

Life is a series of decisions and our decisions are determined by our  priorities when you learn that life will be different for you.

#habitsappetitesdecisions

. People are not smarter than you.

. You learned some bad habits.

. Be willingly more informed.

. You can make better decisions.

. Where you are is all about the decisions you made.

1. Some of your real friends may not follow on social media

2. If you're unfriended ask why?

3. People change their social media and may have forgotten to add you back, friend them back if everything is well with you both.

4. Don't allow social media to ruin a good if not great relationship.

5. My wife only follows me on two of my platforms 

*It's better to gather an look people eye to eye anyway than to move through social media. Yes, it has it's perks but don't make it the bond of your relationships.*

1. If you try to please everyone in the room

2. If you never have a different opinion.

3. If you are always changing to accommodate

4. If you always feel like an imposter

5. If you feel unseen or heard

1. Social status.

2. Marital status.

3 Financial status

4. Group status.

5. Education

Every single person or group of people you meet has secrets and skeletons

1. A half truth is a whole lie.

2. You can only partially defend a half truth

3. Bew are of a half truth because you may have gotten the wrong half.

*Unless your hear and understand those who oppose your truth you may only have half of the truth.

1. You're stuck because you won't think differently.

2. Everyone knows your thinking is antiquated except you!

3. Just because your family told you doesn't mean it works now.

4. Your resistance to change is killing your opportunities.

5. People in your orbit don't want to collaborate with you because you haven't advanced in your thinking.

Book recommendation: Think again by Adam grant

Main thought: It's typically not what you say but how you said it!

Scripture verse: James 3:8 But no one can tame the human tongue; it is a restless evil [undisciplined, unstable], full of deadly poison.

Impact: You are creating your world around you and don't even realize it! 

Solution: watch you words they create!
