Ep 27 Blessed vs. Luck #truthbetold

Welcome everyone to the 27th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am bringing you another dose of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is BLESSED vs. LUCK. #truthbetold
Our words have meaning. Our thoughts are powerful. One of my all-time most downloaded podcasts is the power of words. If you haven’t heard it, go check it out after you listen to this one today. With each word we say we are making a statement. What our beliefs, ideologies, and passions are. The power of the tongue is very influential. This is why I am challenging you to examine the words you speak. What are you standing behind with the words you speak. For this podcast I am breaking down Blessed vs. Luck.
Blessed: very welcome, pleasant, or appreciated (Merriam-Webster)
Happy; prosperous in worldly affairs; enjoying spiritual happiness and the favor of God (1828 Noah Webster)
Lucky: the things that happen to a person because of chance: the accidental way things happen without being planned
Your life is not meaningless. It is not an accident. You are not here by some random chance. God is a purposeful God, and you are here on purpose. All the things in your life big or small are divinely orchestrated. Luck is stating you just randomly received something good in your life. That you were in the right place at the right time. But this is not accurate. Every good and perfect gift is from God. Your steps are ordered.  So, thank God for each blessing in your life because God is showing you love throughout your whole day. You just have to acknowledge and realize where the source of your appreciation should be.
Luck is not going to give you happiness and it certainly cannot bless you. But God can, will, and does on a daily. There are no coincidences. You are blessed in the city and the country. You are blessed in your comings and your goings. You are blessed to be a blessing.
Even the seemingly insignificant details of our life have purpose. God is all knowing, all purposeful. So, as you wake up each day, see God’s purpose in every moment. Delight in God as He delights in you. Use your moments for Him, as He breathes purpose and value into each one.
Now say it with me… I am BLESSED and HIGHLY FAVORED!

Ep 26 Stay Gritty Baby #entrepreneurialtip

Welcome everyone to the 26th episode of Professor P's Podcast. This year, once a month, I will be bringing you entrepreneurial tips. The topic for this show is GRIT, which is important in the foundation of being an EMPOWERED entrepreneur but also to live the EMPOWERED life.
You are going to need paper and pen for this episode and honestly for most to all of my episodes you will always want to keep paper and pen. I will share several stories. All of them should give you encouragement and inspire you. One of the stories I just shared with my students this past week.
Deshauna Barber - American model Ms. USA 2016. She suffered from some low self-esteem. A woman found her in Target and told her that she could be the next Ms. USA. She started competing in the state pageants. She tried for six years in a row and was ready to give up “it is failing epically”. Leslie told her to keep trying. Finally in her seventh year she won the title of Ms. USA and life changed dramatically. In the words of Leslie “If not you, then who”. “At times our purpose drops in our laps as if heaven threw it by accident. Do not fear failure. But please be terrified of regret. Giving up is the birth of regret. There will be hundreds of moments of people telling you no. You will hear more no’s than yeses in your lifetime. We will fail and fail a lot.
Don’t be afraid of no’s be afraid of a yes that you have prematurely destroyed because you have decided to quit before the clock strikes 12. You have rights to your no and your YES is undeniable. Your yes is far more powerful and purposeful than any no you will ever receive.
Wisdom is gained through experiences. Failure is one of the greatest producers of wisdom. Wisdom is attracted to and accessible to all. When wisdom speaks it is true. Wisdom produces durable revenue. To have the talent of wisdom you must listen to it. The art and power of listening.
What have you accepted that you can alter if you negotiate from a different perspective?
So, if you are ready to be inspired, encouraged, and gain some knowledge that will do you well in entrepreneurship and in life, then you need to jump into this episode and let me know your thoughts.

Ep 25 God, the universe, a true understanding #truthbetold

Welcome everyone to the 25th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am bringing you another dose of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is GOD, the universe, A TRUE UNDERSTADNING. #truthbetold
This episode is going to explain to you the difference between God and the universe. You are going to need to have paper, a pen, and place to write. Because we as humans need to measure things to understand them, I am going to have you do some measuring so you can understand the size of the universe verse the vastness of God. Replacing God with the universe has become a standard trope in popular culture. Too many are afraid to even say God because they don’t want to offend anyone. But you must know the truth between the two. One is the creator aka God, and one is the creation aka universe.
As beings made in the image of God, we humans don’t need to look to the universe for ultimate meaning or try to create it for ourselves. God has already given it to us. From the beginning, we were designed to glorify Him and to enjoy Him forever. We are eternal beings who wear a human suit. That one day we will take off.
The universe is His universe, and He rules it with perfect wisdom and absolute power. To replace God with His creation is to give it the honor and worship that belongs solely to Him. I simply cannot do that. And it really was in my heart to bring to you all some knowledge and wisdom regarding this topic. You don’t say God because of pop culture and more so because you are made at God. But what you really are mad at is religion. You are mad at man.
I truly believe God’s heart aches for us due to all the evil religion and religious trauma we have endured. I encourage you to get some paper, your pen, and spot to listen to this powerful episode with an open mind and heart. My hope is that you heal from the religious trauma and all that man has done and return to knowing and being one with our loving God.

Ep 24 Sucess is not a Secret it is a System! #mastery

Welcome everyone to the 24th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am bringing you another dose of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is SUCCESS is not a SECRECT it is a SYSTEM.  #mastery
You see, my dear ones, there is no secret to success. But there is a system, and each person has their own system that is coded to them, for them. Take a big deep breath with me now. Come on…. BIG DEEP BREATH. Release and sit in this truth: You were born into this lifetime for a purpose. You have a calling on your life and you will fulfill it if you faint not. It is not going to be easy. And as the saying goes, nothing worth having is easy. It will take work and hard work at that. But then there will come a time when you will have a season of ease. And from this place you will awaken even more to the truth that all things work to the good. That indeed you have been chosen. That your harvest has at last come in. We climb to the mountaintop not because that is where we are going. Oh no! We climb so we can see the promised land. Then we go take possession of it. This is the journey you are on.
Let us start by defining the word “system.” The dictionary has two definitions for system:
“a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or inter-connecting network.”
2.“a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized framework or method.”
You are going to be creating your structure, your method of how you do things. You are going to do this by trial and error. Betta to be better is what I say. You are also going to do this by learning all you can. Knowledge is power. You are to be a researcher and always be thinking critically. Open your mind, then open it some more. Remember, the ultra-limits of your life is where you find the truest you yet. Go there and go there often.
You will need to be anchored to yourself and know what works for you and what doesn’t. You may not be a morning person. If that’s the case, don’t buy into this notion that “successful people are early birds.” This is not true. The early bird doesn’t always get the worm. I am a night owl, and I can promise you this much: I caught my worm. I might have even caught two or three of them. Then I went to bed. And if I greet the rising sun, dancing in its golden rays of yellow and orange, it’s normally while I’m sitting on the beach. Or in the middle of a Sedona vortex. Or somewhere at the edge of the ultra-limits. It’s an experience that turns into a memory. And it’s a place of rest—or better yet, awakening. Not a place of work. This is indeed part of my system. Rest and awakening are instrumental in the journey of success.
So, understand your energy and mange it well. Discovery of self is the key. I understand my energy level and how I work best. I respect myself enough to stop trying to fit into a mold that doesn’t fit me. I am one of a kind, and so are you! This is what is so beautiful about being human. No two of us are the same, not even identical twins.
“I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ’Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.”
—Leonardo da Vinci, Renaissance genius
The quote above is right on the money. I want you to smile in the face of trouble. The distress will only make you stronger. Your bravery will be rewarded. And I want you to build a set of principles to live by. To build from. They are a part of your system. They will be the reason for your success.

Ep 18 It’s OK Not To Be Ok #truthbetold

Welcome everyone to the 18th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am bringing you another dose of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is It’s OK NOT to be OK.  #truthbetold
I believe the topic for this podcast is so important to speak on. Did you know that there is such a thing as positive toxicity? Well, there is. It is not normal to always be positive and happy. Trying to keep positive vibes all the time will cause you to suppress real feelings that need to be felt. Toxic positivity not only invalidates your emotional state, but also increases secondary emotions.
We especially feel down during the winter months and suffer from Holiday Depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is a form of major depressive disorder (MDD) that occurs in seasonal patterns during certain months of the year.
Holiday depression and SAD can be difficult to distinguish from one another, but the duration and severity of your symptoms are usually your best clues.
Holiday Depression
Starts around November or December and lifts shortly after the new year ends
Symptoms are fairly mild
SAD
Typically lasts about 40% of the year—starting in the late fall and early winter until the spring and summer.
Often more severe and can be debilitating
Another thing that plagues us is our families. Or even the thought of not having family. Families can be very triggering. First off, I want you all to know that only about 25% live in what is considered a traditional family. That means the other 75% of us live in non-traditional families. And here is a fun fact 100% of them can be dysfunctional and especially triggering at the holiday time. You get to have boundaries. You get to say NO. That is a complete sentence.
It really is OKAY to not be okay.
Yes, it is! Not only is it ok, it is essential. An abnormal emotional response to an abnormal situation is normal. We cannot simply pick the emotions we want to have. It just does not work that way,”
Remember that no emotion is permanent. Anger and sadness, just like happiness and joy, come and go. We need to let ourselves experience painful feelings if we ever want to truly let them pass through us. We must feel our feelings to free them.
Don’t hid your discomfort, you will only add fuel to the fire. When we act like emotional pain doesn’t exist, we send a message to our brain that whatever the emotion is, it is in some way bad or dangerous. If our brain believes we are in danger, our body will respond We may experience rapid heartbeat, shallow breathing, a natural need to unnecessarily avoid misperceived dangerous situation. When we avoid any kind of emotional discomfort, even physical pain, we end up unintentionally making those feelings larger, louder, and more overwhelming. If you don’t confront or process emotions in an effective and timely manner, the science shows that it can lead to a myriad of psychological difficulties including disrupted sleep, increased substance abuse, risk of an acute stress response, anxiety, depression, and even post-traumatic stress disorder.”
I am so excited for you to dive into today’s podcast so you can once again receive healing and freedom. Both of which, come in pieces.
