PonTom Podcast 15 minutes of pillow talks

September 27th, 2023.

One step at a time. But take my time.

It’s about perspective, right?

The official end of the first season is finally here. Thank you all who have supported me up until this point and making me feel heard. This journey has been amazing and I am excited to go into a new chapter in my life. So see y’all soon. (;

“Chase excellence to achieve perfection…” that is something that someone once said that never really sat right with me. In my experience, achieving excellence within yourself has always paid off in perfect outcomes every time. So just be a better you and live your truth, that is ‘perfect’ enough. I promise.

Life is full of surprises. And the best things in life are unexpected.

There comes a point in every man’s life where he smiles in his solitude. This week was exactly me coming to that point. 😌

Counting down the days for this season. It’s been a long time coming 😌

This 107 degree weather has me rethinking my choice of residence.

Everything’s changed for me. My plans. My future. My goals. So I’m just going thru the motions once more. This time I’ll be okay.

It’s been a tough start of the week.

R.I.P. Mike D. I honestly cannot handle my emotions when it comes to a death of a loved one or someone I care about. Grieving takes me out every single time. I pray for healing and give my condolences to Mikes Fam.

No matter what you’re tested with, the main thing to remember is the lesson to be learned. So that going forward, you push through stronger than you were before.

A topic that came up tonight when I was with my friend that kinda stuck to me til I got home. The concept of the rules within interacting with people and the roles you have to step into while doing so.

Just had a heart to heart with my friend that left me thinking of something important. So I decided to record it real quick.

Just processing what I’m currently learning about myself. The journey of Self Discovery Never Ends.

Thank God for the answers you find in the places you least expect it.

A lot of growth. I’m recognizing the results of the things I’ve been able to work on and I’ve come to the conclusion, that the happiness I’m chasing is not going to be an “event” that happens, but the continuum of chasing that. It’s the pursuit. And I’m loving the hunt.

Working on myself is a foreva thing.

Opportunity is inevitable. Do not be afraid to say “Yes” and take a leap of faith. This is a sign that there is always something to be taken away from experiences you get thru taking advantage of opportunities. Just do it.

Real Friends vs. Deal Friends. One gets you closer to living a happier life and feeding the innate human cravings of connection. The Latter gets you where you need to go to progress in your endeavors. Both require you to have a healthy understanding of relationship building. So I’m talking about it.

Time and time again, I get reminded of the parts of life that really make me feel alive. Last night was no exception and I never want to forget that.

As of late, I’ve been feeling like I’m walking around with a cloud of darkness over me and I just havent been able to shake it. This is me talking thru my own self-analysis and trying to figure out the root to what I’m feeling.

It’s always the battles within myself that keep me up at night. Be a good person, or be a selfish one. Be a good son or be the black sheep. Be myself or conform to the expectations of others. I just want to be happy. So I talk about it.

Whenever I work on myself and actively try to implement a new course of action amongst the things I do, I try to recognize the changes that it makes and the experience that I have. This episode is exactly that.
