You ever felt trapped metaphorically speaking? Yet, the feeling was so intense that the bars practically felt real. We've all experienced it at some point, if not to the same degree. A job, relationship, at home, not feeling as though you can speak or act out when a situation requires so. Spectating your own life more than you're living it.

We all undergo something the mentally cages the way we interact and go about certain situations. Often times, we program our brain to believe we have to second guess each thought or only give ourselves limited pathways and options to occurrence with endless possibilities. These preprogrammed mind cages are referred to as 'dilemmas'; bringing two directions to the forefront that typically have unfortunate roads. Forcing ourselves to choose between this and that, juggling the what ifs, not believing in things that are too good, or simply avoiding it altogether.

Just an update on the past few months and my absence. Apologies for the audio picking up my fan, tried adjusting the gain and voice isolation but obviously it's been awhile.

One of the most interesting things about people is their perception. How it can be similar to yours, or vastly different. The importance of perception is that there is no wrong way to view something as it's subjective to that individual, but also how we can learn from other's ways of perceiving things and ultimately building our own perspective.

All the obstacles placed before us are only there because we allow them to be. How long they stay, how much impact they have, and what they are. It's up to us to determine our own obstacles, as without something to block they won't exist and without someone to clear them, they won't go away. Don't be your own obstacle.

In this episode, I talk about how people often give others what they fail to give themselves. From things a little as gifts to as big as credit, respect, attention and the list goes on. It's easy and rather wonderful to care for others, but it can be detrimental if you neglect yourself in the process.

Emotional intelligence isn't the easiest thing to pick up on but it happens to be the most beneficial. It's important to understand yourself and apply similar understanding to others.

It's easiest to stick to things we feel most in our element doing, but easily forget that most elements are actually weaker the more you contain them. Don't contain yourself and allow yourself to be confined to the walls of your own imagination.

The world doesn't owe anything to you and even then will often expect little to come of you. However, you own it to the world to show them who you are and leave your mark whichever way you can.

I appreciate everyone that listens to this, even if it is few, I hope whoever needs to hear it will be able to takeaway positive things and improve themselves.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoy making them and please support the channel as well as my other linked profiles.

God Bless!

The same way we give others more credit than they deserve, we often give ourselves more criticism than we deserve. It's unfair to us to uplift others for the littlest things but bring ourselves down for the same thing.
