One life

Inspired by a recent film, I had to discuss 'One Life' and a few other random things thrown in for good measure. Enjoy. If you like this episode, please rate, review, subscribe and share with others!

Personal Development

1/15/2024
It's that tme of year that we should think about working on ourselves. To do that, we need to engage in personal or self development. Personal development is a holistic process that involves continuous self-reflection, learning from experiences, and taking intentional actions to improve oneself. It's important to note that personal development is a unique journey for each individual, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. It's about finding what works best for you and making consistent efforts to become the best version of yourself. If you like this episode, please rate, review, subscribe and share with others!

11/6/2023
Hate is a strong and intense feeling of hostility, animosity, or extreme dislike toward someone or something. It often involves negative emotions such as anger, resentment, prejudice, and a desire for harm or destruction. Hate can be directed at individuals, groups, ideas, or even inanimate objects. It can result from a variety of factors, including fear, ignorance, cultural differences, or personal experiences. Hate can have serious and harmful consequences, both on a personal level and within society, often leading to discrimination, violence, and conflict.

Resilience

I’m back and this episode is all about resilience as we’re all resilient in some way or another. Resilience is the capacity to bounce back from adversity, adapt to change, and recover quickly from difficult situations. It is often described as the ability to withstand, recover from, or grow stronger in the face of challenges, setbacks, and stressors. Resilience is not a fixed trait but rather a skill that can be developed and cultivated over time. Enjoy! If you like this episode, please rate, review, subscribe and share with others!

Trust

7/10/2023
In this week’s episode, I discuss trust. Trust is a fundamental aspect of human relationships and interactions. It refers to the reliance or confidence that one person or entity has in another person or entity. Trust involves a belief that someone is honest, reliable, and capable of fulfilling their commitments or obligations. Trust is a vital component of human relationships, teamwork, and societal functioning. It is based on reliability, honesty, and the belief that others will act in good faith. Trust takes time to develop but can be easily broken. Therefore, it is important to nurture and uphold trust in all aspects of life. Enjoy and see you in September!
