"WHY SETTLE, WHY ACCEPT MEDICORITY"


 
On our latest segment of LET IT BE KNOWN LIVE RADIO, we placed emphasis on being consistently motivated in meeting your own expectations and not settling for what is thrown at you. Many people settle and accept mediocrity plainly out of fear and a false sense of security that has caused them to discount any alternative and notion of transition. People approach relationships, jobs and marriages full of expectations but over time forget what they were in it for—leading to complacency. They kill off all of their personal expectations by choosing to have them dwarfed by those they are surrounded by who will accelerate that mediocrity. Mediocrity depletes a lot of potential, dreams and aspirations.  There are many of us that are unhappy with our present conditions but choose to accept them instead of challenge them. If you surround yourself with the right people, the right things will happen. Get those in your life that will stimulate and inspire you which will ignite that inner-fire in you. All of the things you don’t like you will then find the means to correct them.

"DO WE HAVE TO PARENT OUR BOYS DIFFERENTLY?"




 
On our latest segment of LET IT BE KNOWN LIVE RADIO, our discussion delivered so many valid points from our incredible panel and listeners that also included some magnificent mothers. The general consensus was that boys should be parented totally different with regard that their responsibilities (within their role) are heightened. If we expect a Man to be proficient and adequate as a provider, protector and head of household there are values that must be instilled from early on as a boy—without compromise. The mothers agreed that they have done their sons a disservice by being overwhelming in their mothering from the wrong aspects and not in areas that would induce his development. Listen back to the Podcast and let us know what you think: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/letitbeknownlive/2012/05/24/do-we-have-to-parent-our-boys-differently

"MEDIOCRITY MAGNETS"

BY AL KING


 
Mediocrity shouldn’t be a goal neither a mainstay. The leading contributor to this dismal state of mind is one losing faith and hope in the power of potential. They no longer see something escalating to a higher level and instead react by choosing to do just enough to get by. By accepting what is given to them instead of creating more opportunities they use comfort as an excuse. As a result, they have inherited a persona that then becomes a magnet. Without them fully understanding, they continue to drain and attract others right into this cycle of complacency. Subconsciously, they recruit heavily for new members to join this team of lackluster assertion and what's even crazier is that they believe they’re not this way. None of us are exempt from experiencing these types of beings. The biggest defense you can have against them is being aware of them and knowing that you must do everything to stay away from them. After all, self-preservation is imperative so protecting your own motivation and outlook is essential. It only takes a short time for them to sabotage your drive if you allow it. We all know the devil is always busy but we also know he is a liar. Using disciples to attack your ambition is what he will do so be attentive at all times.

Life shows us that …… some of us are great starters and never finish anything, superb at initiating something but horrible at following up, fear success and potential by doing everything to just remain in their current position with no growth. There are harsh realities that many of us are content with living. Each of those characteristics are carried by people that may even hold in high regard; friends, family and associates. When people are highly motivated in achievement they avoid anything that’s not conducive to their growth. Greatness comes from first understanding the importance of being great. DON’T feel guilty for doing more and avoiding those that find solace in underachieving. It’s wise and necessary to avoid entertaining anything that will affect your own tenacity.  The bottom line is that some of us are motivated for better while some of us are not. 

   KEEP a few things in mind as you walk in your journey;
·       Those that want more, do more.
·       Those that want less, do the least.
·       Everyone talks a good game until they’re asked to show and prove.
·       Everyone wants something that they’re not willing to put in the work to attain.

"SINGLE in a Relationship"

On our latest segment of LET IT BE KNOWN LIVE RADIO we addressed the reality of people that are in a relationship but still remain SINGLE.This imbalance is contributed to the lack of something that is not being fulfilled. As a result, both individuals have resorted to an arrangement that can be viewed as an open relationship. Fear of commitment and monogamy is definitely an issue for some of us so being with someone but not with them becomes their objective. The exclusive panel delivered some very good points as always...... Listen to the podcast here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/letitbeknownlive/2012/05/17/single-and-in-a-relationship

"People that EAT with their Eyes.....The Illusion Edition"

 
On our latest segment of LET IT BE KNOWN LIVE RADIO we discussed materialism, sensationalism and superficiality in our general dealings of society. Diving into this topic, the panel addressed how the perception of a subject is fed by the visual and its face-value is easily accepted. Facades and mirages are common these days so buying into what you see is not necessarily what it appears to be…..

"SUPPORT AND BELIEF"

BY AL KING

 
I wanted to share a few words with you to potentially jump-start your day and hopefully your week. This one goes out to anyone that has set goals that they are diligently working to harvest accomplishments. You probably are well aware that anything you’re doing in your life to progress forward will require some form of support from others. Now, what you possess within your own person has nothing to do with what you will need from others.  Does this diminish the fact that you will stand alone regardless? NO but no man is an island. I have always stood firm in believing that what you aspire to do must be met with energy. The bottom line is that we all need Support and Belief.  With these two forces in our corner we are able to take on the world and conquer the set goal. These two major variables play such a primary role in further shaping our faith and building both our confidence and morale. I don’t believe that one can’t function without it but I do believe that whatever it is you’re attempting to get accomplished will be a longer drawn out journey until you find it. What we all must understand is that there are many ways to demonstrate support to others. But first let me say that support is an unconditional and selfless act of investing in something from an emotional place. Belief works very similar with one being able to vouch and connect to the subject with immense understanding.

We all need these two very important variables in our lives; relationships, pursuing a career, new business endeavor, weight loss or regaining spiritual strength. From any aspect of what we face we will be left with veering toward these two components. It doesn’t matter where it comes from but it helps when it comes from those that are close to you—which is where we have a heightened level of expectation. In actuality, what we are doing is placing a lot of value to those relationships that are deemed significant. What I have come to realize is that in the road to fulfillment there are a lot of people you will come across that are very uncomfortable supporting others. I can also assure you that those same individuals that display the least support are the same people that expect the most of it from others. Support is love and a genuine expression of gratitude which can be delivered in so many ways; by showing another human being that they are also important. If you are someone that has fought with spreading love and supporting others……You need to realize that you will need and expect the same from people you are surrounded by and come across in your life.

Before I end this one I wanted to say that support and belief begins with the person in the mirror. Avoid being dependent of others when you have not removed the self-doubt from yourself—NO ONE is going to believe in you if you don’t believe in yourself.  

There’s so much power in Belief and Support …… so what you believe in is what will BE!
