"MEN CHEAT, WOMEN THINK"

BY AL KING

Men will react out of desire and greed while a woman will strategically think her actions all the way through. Is either right? Not at all but she has a way of being so cunning in her executions that it appears justifiable. Cheating is something that one may never see coming but all parties involved will be forced to face the damage that it creates long after the act.  

We had some fun discussing this topic on LIBK Radio, listen back to the podcast here:

"DOMESTIC VIOLENCE"

BY AL KING


It’s recorded that every 9 seconds in the U.S a woman is assaulted or beaten.  With those statistics that would bring us to almost 7 women a minute which is insane. It’s also recorded that a man is severely assaulted by his wife or girlfriend every 14.6 seconds. Relationships will go through their challenges but when it becomes violent it ignites so much other dynamics; Children are affected, mental and physical damage, and sometimes death in the end. This is a serious issue that sadly takes the lives of up to three women a day in this country.

"WHY ARE THERE MORE SITUATIONS THAN RELATIONSHIPS?"

 Everyone has their own definition of what a relationship is and what it entails BUT do they know what a Situation is? Why do most Relationships fail and Situations blossom and boom? Sadly, alot of people are in a situation and don't even know it but are under the illusion that they are in something that makes sense. When we are able to define something, we are then able to seek understanding where we can then practice and execute its purpose.

Listen to our podcast of this discussion on "Let it be Known" Radio, hosted by Al King and Ms. Jones http://www.blogtalkradio.com/letitbeknownlive/2014/05/15/why-are-there-more-situations-than-relationships-part-2-1

“THE ERA OF NO FOREPLAY”

BY AL KING

Everything is rushed. Patience has become a rarity in the practices of those we call humans. We have instead resorted to a level and era where there is no foreplay, both figuratively and literally. When it comes to the many aspects we exchange with one another, there is a defiant approach for what should be protocol and its expectations. Look at how business has become shady from the gate with no networking or the substantiation of building a rapport that will lead to a relationship. People expect you to just jump right into business with them just because they believe they are doing business. Relationships are dead from the beginning because people refuse to take the time to get to know one another from the start. Dating and Courting has been omitted because everyone’s in a rush to be in a Pseudo-relationship. People meet on Monday and by Friday they live together. These examples just go to show you just how much we have opted to throw principles in the garbage. That is why things are a mess and don’t seem to moving in a direction to resolve this issue.  If there's foreplay in the equation, you have accountability and a necessary flow to the momentum.  Simply, you can find out a lot if you are willing to take your time to find it out. There’s very little chance you will have any enlightenment and favorable results if you are rushing from point “a” to point “z” without experiencing the letters in between.

“PRISONER OF THE PAST”

BY AL KING

Some of us really want to do better. We may have lived a life in the past that wasn’t good and we have chosen to repent and accept our wrongdoings. God forgives while humans hold onto things just to have something to make you worthy of their judgment. Those very same people are usually not in a position to hold you in a strained regard based on your past acts…… but they do. Do you get angry? Not at all, what you do is gather an understanding that you can then empower yourself with. What’s imperative is that you remove yourself from those realms of judgment and that will decrease the likeliness of it happening, over and over. Move to different villages and place yourself around new people that can accept the NEW YOU. Continue to live your life to be better and don’t ever allow anyone to make you a prisoner of the past!

"VISION GPS"

BY AL KING

Navigating through life requires a Vision……….. One that will lead you to a life of fulfillment which can only be attained once we have connected with and to our purpose. Purpose will equal vision.  That purpose will be defined by what you are most passionate about and what you are willing to place everything on the line to attain.  The lack of a vision will only be a filled with a journey of free-styling and no accountability which we don’t want that at all. We want to experience and benefit from applying our best efforts of this gift and blessing called a vision. Knowing that if we do what we should, we can live a life of fulfillment. A determined mindset will produce a determined mind state. Moving in the direction of accomplishment; a concise blueprint is devised that encompasses our dreams and aspirations in a nutshell.  In order for this to transpire, you need ACTION not lip service. Your determination, focus, dedication, sacrifices and consistency will determine just how much you want it.  Potential means absolutely nothing if it isn’t applied. You must move in the direction that’s conducive to you reaching your anointed destination.  In doing so, you must create a concise blueprint that will encompass your dreams and aspirations. With a plan in full effect, we have substantiated our intent to expedite this vision. Go out there and chase your dreams and put that vision in place so that you can reap the blessings of your gift.  

If it can change your life you must be willing to do everything to make it your life!

“BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF”

BY AL KING

Things are not going your way as frustration grows……it is met with a fight to gain clarity. What’s the reason? Well, life has a way of forcing us to pay attention and think and the only way to get your attention is to throw some challenges in your direction. We don’t realize during the fury of these challenges that we are actually being brought to a conclusive state of peace and resolve. Gathering this much needed lesson will only define that understanding. So stop asking……What did I do to deserve this?  Be thankful that you have been chosen to go through something. It’s often said that “You have to go through something to get through something.” Most of us will still question it all because we have this false sense of entitlement and believe we should just receive without any friction, any hardships or challenges. In no way does life work that way. We should all be the recipients of blessings but don’t get consumed into believing that there’s guarantees set aside for you. There’s one thing that most of us refuse to accept and that’s where we become our biggest detractors to ourselves by not ……….being honest with ourselves.

Being honest requires becoming vulnerable from within and not being self-biased. One must build the courage to face your choices and decisions head on so are you willing to man up? That inner-reflection will only bring forth a truth that you need for your overall clarity which is exactly what you need to move forward. By us dissecting ourselves it makes us accountable. We are achieving balance that most want but refuse to take the necessary steps to attain it. This will eradicate the negative stance of just pointing fingers and blaming someone else for the position that we currently stand in. It will always be easy to do that instead of working on being bigger and better in our holistic approaches. How can we live without having integrity to ourselves? We can’t.   Again, it’s about accepting the ramifications of what we felt at one time was the right decision and choice.  All of us should constantly be under construction by working to be better and more. By making the necessary strides to improve our circumstances we must first identify with what is versus what should be.  

I want to leave you with a few thoughts ………

Are we working to maximize our potential as a person, friend, relative, parent or spouse? Have you learned from your past without becoming a prisoner of the past? Do you accomplish your goals you set and not start something that you never finish? Do you have expectations of others that you don’t have for yourself?  In answering those questions, you have to be honest. Don’t waste time chasing your tail by failing to look in that mirror because you fear facing YOUR truth. Nothing will change if you’re not willing to change your perspective!

 

 

    

“THE POWER OF THE BOOTY”

BY AL KING

 

 

We are all chasing power and the acquisition of power gives us all the possibility of our desires being fulfilled.   Having power places us at a vantage point to manipulate and also create opportunities for ourselves. Some of us understand how to use what we possess to gain power. So are you wrong for using what you have to get what you want? Some of us may answer that question with “as long as it is within means.” Don’t you use your skill set, credentials and experience each time you’re applying for a job? Aren’t those things taken into consideration when that person on the other side of the table is interviewing you?  Let’s look at how the physical attributes of a woman can create and enhance her potential of gaining power.  For certain, her attractiveness and appeal can create opportunities for her and one asset if she’s equipped with it that will definitely give her power is……. the booty.  Is she wrong for using it? Whether she has one or not, every single woman on this planet knows that there’s power in the booty.  With that understanding if she doesn’t naturally have one, you better believe she’s working to purchase one. We are now living in a time of cosmetic surgery and augmentation so the booty is no longer a Black Woman thing but has become a universal thing. So that has placed other races and ethnicities in the race for who has the better booty.  Fake OR not….. Booty is power because it intrigues, controls, dictates and rules.  Booty is also EQUITY.

 

The physique of a woman has always been an important factor for BOTH a man and women. Men have always chosen to invest in what she physically possesses way before her other qualities. In turn, women have always in their subconscious state used their sexuality to garner leverage. As shallow as it may sound this is so real and you would have to be crazy not to understand the science of it all. It’s no secret that most humans are flesh-driven and choose to immediately invest in what they see on the surface which is why the booty will always be powerful. Whether naturally or cosmetically acquired, the booty will always command attention and open doors…..literally. Does she want the doors to open based on her physical possessions or what she can honestly bring to the table with other variables?  i.e.; wit, intelligence, accomplishments, accolades, credentials. Those of you that have the booty are probably doing everything in your power to gain power. With each step, you’re using it to get you something that you desire or lack by making it work for you in some kind of way.  Just keep in mind if that booty opens a door, you may have possibly diminished the other components you have to offer. Use what you have to get what you want as long as it is within means and not compromising what you truly represent!

"BEING ENGAGED FOREVER"

WAKE UP LADIES!

A lot of women have accepted being engaged for what has turned into an eternity when in fact they are really ENTANGLED. By agreeing to something that has not been inclusive of love and good intentions some women have resorted to just settling and lowering their standards. Years and years go by and the only thing to show is a ring that has only fulfilled a public facade of being taken and claimed. It’s not easy to accept the reality that this marriage will most likely never take place because every year there is a glimmer of hope—but at some point it must be done. Engagements......in the times we reside in are what I deem as a suppressed and stalled act by Men. A ploy that he uses to control his woman and keep her under control which is an easy feat because all she may want is to say that she has a ring. As a man, I want to let you women know something about men. Men will straighten up in a heartbeat once they feel they are no longer a priority. Everything in this world passes through a woman so your power is indescribable. Sit firm in your standards and don’t compromise them just to not be alone. In life, what we accept is what we will have to expect.

Most of the time, these engagements transpire from ultimatums and conditions which are usually provoked by an act of infidelity in the relationship or the birth of a child.  As a result, he’s then forced to make this verbal promise that he has no intention of actually executing. He is on one page and she’s on another. Again, it is even questionable if marriage is really her goal because she will assume this position of fiance for YEARS. Statistically, it is said that engagements usually last 16 months.  Is the title of engagement and a ring a form of accomplishment and self-gratification that she only desires?  Could it just be the fancy of being called fiance rather than girlfriend?   Today, we are losing touch of the importance of marriage because we are focused on separations and divorce. Contributing to the bleak outlook is the ongoing cycle of non-commitment.  Also, there’s no dating, courting and taking the time to know a person that we have made a point of interest.

“RACE vs ETHNICITY….. THE CONFUSION”

Race; Each of the major divisions of humankind, having distinct physical characteristics.

Ethnicity;The fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.

Specifically, inside the Black RACE and Culture there’s a constant act of inferior segregation because we can’t differentiate what race and ethnicity means. The lack of understanding the true meaning of each continues to create some confusion which results in pushing the race further apart. The definition of the two is very much similar and can bring so much different interpretations from one person to the next—creating debate. I do believe that in each race people are driven to disassociate themselves from their own race but emphasize their identities through their ethnicity's. The stereotypes, prejudices and stigmas are also contributing factors that add on to these misinterpretations that widely affect the Black culture…….

"OWNING YOUR DESTINY"

At some point......YOU have reached that point where “enough is enough.” Tired of what cards you have chosen to play with has possibly left you frustrated. What we must understand is that nothing happens just because you are flustered with circumstances that you have chosen to accept. To correct it all, one must change it with actions that will not reflect the acceptance of complacency and comfort as an excuse. You must begin with a fresh and different mindset by cutting off all non-complimentary components and inheriting new attitude and approach. One thing for certain is that if you don’t make it happen for yourself, I doubt if someone is going to place something that will help you right in your lap. Step up and stand out by owning your destiny so that you claim what is rightfully yours and “grab the bull by the horns” which will in turn only build pride and appreciation…….

“People Love what HATES them and Hate what LOVES them”

 

Interesting to say the least........what we need in our lives is exactly what we elect to resent and disregard by pushing it to the side. As a reaction, what’s for our betterment is treated as if it’s the cause of the problem. We continue to embrace and cherish what’s non-complimentary and what may have contempt toward us. Unfortunately, none of it adds up and it’s very conflicting but we live for the unnecessary imbalances. With Hate and Love being the most powerful forces of the emotional source—they are what we will endure in one facet or another as we live out each moment. As confusing as it may sound, people will love what hates them and hate what loves them in their relationships, friendships and overall life experiences. We tackled this issue with much perspective on our latest segment of LET IT BE KNOWN LIVE RADIO, check out the podcast here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/letitbeknownlive/2012/08/02/people-love-what-hates-them-and-hate-what-loves-them

“VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER”

First and foremost I would like to send prayers out to the fallen angels and the families of those that have become victims of violent acts. Unfortunately, these senseless acts of violence continue to plague our general society as the innocent are being taken down by gunfire and a life is being depleted. There are sick individuals walking our streets that are abruptly exploding like time bombs, approaching their day with the intent of destroying the lives of others—forever. These acts of violent expressions are a reflection of unprovoked madness. They blatantly have no regard for their own life and others as they build these arsenals of weapons that we know nothing of until it’s too late. Our fight to diminish violence continues as we fight to control weapon acquisition and detect those that have bad intentions before they can harm others we are left to live in constant fear. One thing that we seem to discontinue is the fact that we are raising violent children by example of being violent parents. Not to rule out that we have drug and substance abuse that invokes a volatile behavior. You don’t know what to expect leaving your house or simply doing casual things that now seem riskier than walking into a war zone.

"ARE MEN INTIMIDATED BY THE SUCCESS OF A WOMAN?"

 

On our latest segment of LET IT BE KNOWN LIVE RADIO we posed the epic question……Are Men intimidated by the success of a Woman? I know that I’ve had to endure hearing the perspective of many women speak about the uneasiness that is created from her independence and self-sufficient nature. We know that there are some men that feel inadequate if she is the breadwinner. Where does it stem from?  Does she throw her stature in his face and create a competitive realm or is it his own shortcomings that have forced these insecurities? Our exclusive panel and guest listeners had some great input that exhausted three hours of dialogue with so much points still left to make…..

"HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD"

On our latest segment of LET IT BE KNOWN LIVE RADIO we discussed the role of Head of Household…… the responsibility and concept behind the Man being the provider and protector for their family. Once he is able to define his role with greater understanding it’s then possible to be effective in it. Unfortunately, there are some men that relinquish their role as the head, leaving the entire burden of the responsibility on HER which can’t be justified. Having this level of clarity enables both genders to work in unison so that the gel of the family structure is solidified—everyone must play a role. If there is no cohesiveness it then leads to distortion and confusion with her working against him and him working against her. Our exclusive panel and guest had some very vital points and perspectives that were shared……. Listen here to the podcast; http://www.blogtalkradio.com/letitbeknownlive/2012/06/07/head-of-household

"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.
