Killing Cliches

A conversation about Grace is not something that can be limited to a single podcast; however, that is the current topic of discussion.  We have all heard the phrase "if I knew then, what I know now...", and we have all grown from the grace that allows us to know what we know now.  But do I extend that same grace, or opportunity to the next person and allow them to grow?  Perhaps, th...

I have the awesome honor of working in the field of education- field: in the figurative sense as in cultivating young minds, but also in the literal sense as in my professional occupation.  On this episode, I am speaking with a former student, Mr. Willie Williams, who is now an educator for the Chicago Public Schools.  The author of 7 books, including a work that is mentioned here "The B...

The origins of peace and the fruit of the Spirit come by way of our innermost being.  These attributes are learned and are demonstrated in many ways beyond the subject matter of this podcast; however, it is a worthy conversation.

If I say, "I love you", then I am abound by those words.  My prayer is that "brotherly love would continue".  Thank you for continuing to be a listener.

Biblical scripture applies to the reader.  It is time for us to own the Words that were written for us and about us, intelligently.  My cousin, King Darrell, who is no stranger to Killing Cliches joins the conversation on this episode.  We are fortunate to have widsom in every corner of my family, so I am delighted to continue to share our conversations along the way.

Our physical bodies can be fine-tuned into the fastest, quickest, most agile human beings in the world; however, that amounts very little when it comes to our spirit and to our soul.  Feeding ourselves, and rightly dividing the truth according to our anatomy is a step towards wisdom and ascension. 

As a people we've praised The Most High God from places of destitute and despair only to forget how to praise him from a wealthy place.  This is an invitation to praise Our Father from a wealthy place as a people!

To what do I allow myself to participate?  As we examine this thought we also realize that 'participation' takes on an ascended thought when it comes to prayer.  We continue to define our own words: Killing Cliches.

Being grateful for specific things allows us to cherish life.  Within this episode I share a prayer of gratefulness for depth perception, and for the friends that we encouter along this journey.  It is an honor to continue to share.

There is a vision and a path towards a destiny that belongs to each individual.  It is necessary to consider what belongs to me and what in light of what I choose to pursue.  This conversation makes the destinction between 'what is mine' and "what is theirs".

Friends teach us how to respond to, and interact with the world around us.  Have you spoken to a friend today?

As a source of power, we must recognize and the respect our audience: the people we live with, and the folks we encounter in our daily lives.  It is essential that we know that we posess power, generate power, and have the power of influence.  As we learn, we take responsibility for our learning.  Thank you for listening.

Do we know what religion is aside from what we've been taught?  The purpose of Killing Cliches again, is to seek to define words based on truth- not facts.  This podcast is the beginning of a series of conversations that must address religion, in the traditional sense, in order to bring back the pure essense of Religion.

As we learn, we are given the opportunity to grow, to be responsible, and to do things differently.  But what about the things in the past?  As we allow life to come- life slows down, and we can clearly make the decisions that keep us in line with our destiny.

Living with empathy really does mean that we have to absorb some things about others- whether they are things we like or dislike- especially if there is a goal in mind.  Learning the difference between reacting and responding equips me for living with empathy.  Finally, 'being absorbant' begs the question- how much do I value my peace?

Who is your cheerleader?  We all need one.  Thank you for listening.

Remaining committed to my journey will lead my to my highest self!  This conversation with the professional dancer, Devin Baker, concludes with words of encouragement and affirmation.  Thank you, Mr. Baker for your words, and for sharing your story about the personal committment to your talent.

The hard work is described in pursuit of perfecting your talents in part 2 of this conversation with Devin Baker, for talent can only take us so far if we are unwilling to perfect our gifts within.   Thank you for listening.

We meet professionals along the way who have a story to share of simply perfecting their gifts and talents.  Devin Baker has gained insights from being a professional dancer that is definitely worth listening to.  We speak about balance, hard work, and relying on our gifts as a way to find comfort and confidence in life.  Thank you Devin, for sharing!  (please excuse the slight...

What is the different between an emotional decision and a decision that is made objectively and based on the truth?  Emotions change so frequently, they are absolutely unreliable.  Therefore, we must consider our choices: "I have a choice, I have a choice... and so do you".

How we define and speak of ourselves causes an actual reaction.  It is necessary to pay attention to the way others have been allowed to define our actions over the years, and presently.  Killing those cliches, enable #self-actualization.

My "yes" is enough for me to have peace without having to understanding every little thing.  Thank you, for listening.

To what do I owe me? The opportunity to live free.  The knowledge of where I am headed dictates my thoughts, and allows me to evaluate if I am headed in the right direction- not to evaluate someone else's path.  Let's learn what it means to internalize and allow ourselves to grow and to evolve.

What I know about something, is more stable than my feelings toward something.  It is a very necessary distinction to make: knowledge versus emotions.  I might not feel good, but I know that I am able to conquer anything!  What do you know about yourself? :

Every closed door is an open opportunity to give thanks!  Rejection occurs to us all; however, let's take a look at those "no's" through the lens of destiny that says, "there is something meant for you that is greater than this opportunity".  Be Encouraged!
