Life with Douglas

Being Right Again

April 08, 2024 22:35 - 14 minutes - 14.6 MB

I recorded an episode last year where I talked about "how to know when you are right". After much-needed time I have come to a better understanding of this and I felt it necessary to share what I have learned. As I have said in previous episodes, I do not know it all and I'm not telling you what to do but I'm just sharing my opinion so you can have something to compare against yours to find the necessary answers you need. ________-__________-_________-__________-_________-__________-_________...

Know Thyself

April 06, 2024 07:30 - 13 minutes - 13.9 MB

It seems an odd and obvious thing to say but if you take time to look at your life like it is someone else's, you'd see things you thought were there but aren't and vice-versa. It is not easy to look at your life in that manner. It takes you to places you do not want to go; places so unfamiliar and uncomfortable. However, those places, if you are humble enough to enter and strong enough to stand within them are places you can build stronger foundations for yourself. ________-__________-______...

Kindness To Self.

April 02, 2024 20:42 - 14 minutes - 15.1 MB

Remember the worst of words that people have used to talk to you over the years, remember how it made you feel, now remember what it took off you to get through that thing. If the emotions you're receiving are mostly bad, imagine talking to yourself that way. I am guilty of this and I know I have to find a better way. Find out how I came to this conclusion in this episode.________-__________-_________-__________-_________-__________-__________-__________-__________-__________-_________-______...

Something Random But True

March 29, 2024 13:44 - 14 minutes - 13.6 MB

This is one of those times you start off doing something simple but becomes bigger than you planned. Honesty is still not easy for me but I understand it's importance. Therefore I must continually try to represent that as true as I can. I may be my own problem; sometimes that's the case with the lot of us and because of that, we must work our way through our problems. ________-__________-_________-__________-_________-__________-__________-__________-__________-__________-_________-_________...

Yours Truly; Douglas.

March 25, 2024 23:25 - 15 minutes - 13.9 MB

Honesty is becoming more difficult. I find it easy to revert to covering up and shying away from what's true as I go deeper into the challenges that I am confronted by. However, I promised myself and all those who would listen (though absent of your consent) to say what I know to be true. I have tried to keep that promise to the best of my ability and wherever I fail, I will be honest about such. ________-__________-_________-__________-_________-__________-__________-__________-__________-__...

The Difficulty of Life.

March 19, 2024 15:19 - 11 minutes - 11.6 MB

The difficulty of life seems to be important for any progress to take place. Some people believe that understanding and anticipating this helps change the outcome of the many difficult situations we will find ourselves in throughout our lives. However, I find that there is a learning curve to understanding this process and applying yourself according to the challenge at hand. ________-__________-_________-__________-_________-__________-__________-__________-__________-__________-_________-__...

Different Lives; Different Meaning.

March 15, 2024 09:00 - 9 minutes - 9.55 MB

Life as we know it is the identical everywhere you go. This statement could be considered to be true. However, our individual experiences differ and this could also be considered to be true. If these are facts then maybe it's best we try to find spaces that are tailored to our lives and avoid reshaping ourselves to fit into a space. Of course, this is easier said than done. ________-__________-_________-__________-_________-__________-__________-__________-__________-__________-_________-___...

The Power Of The Twist.

March 11, 2024 12:30 - 11 minutes - 11.6 MB

The twist is the moment the story changes; that's when it gets exciting, but there's always more to the story. There are so many moments before "the moment" that go unnoticed. It is easy to bask in glory when the big moments come but it is very wise to understand that the many small moments made it all possible.________-__________-_________-__________-_________-__________-__________-__________-__________-__________-_________-____You can reach me on my socials Instagram, X(twitter) & Threads ...

The Pain of Luxury.

March 04, 2024 13:29 - 7 minutes - 7.8 MB

It is easy to wish to have what others have; more so when you don't have it. We, however, rarely ask if we'd do the same things they did to have what they do. Great things cost great sacrifices and the willingness to offer said sacrifice is more important than the reward for the sacrifice.

Things Fall Apart.

February 23, 2024 12:39 - 13 minutes - 13.4 MB

Sometimes things change in our lives and most of the time these are things we do not like to change. But change is inevitable and sometimes necessary. However, it is hard to adapt so we must actively teach our minds to adapt to the flow of things when it becomes necessary.}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}You can reach me on my socials Instagram, X(twitter) & Threads @didam_douglas

Weak Moments Are Moments Of Strength.

February 19, 2024 22:58 - 9 minutes - 9.46 MB

Weak moments arise to give us opportunities to learn about ourselves and grow. That growth, however, only comes if & when we confront our obstacles. Remember that as difficult as they may be, that's the place to obtain the most gratification whether you win or you lose. }~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}You can reach me on my socials Instagram, X(twitter) & Threads @didam_douglas

Gratitude & Progress

February 17, 2024 23:00 - 14 minutes - 13 MB

If you are religious, you must have heard someone say "Ask and you shall receive". I liken the message in this episode to that which backs that statement. Some lessons are placed loosely for us to help us get through this experience that we are all participants but because it seems like basic knowledge, we often miss it. Be grateful for what you have and you shall have more; it's no joke.}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~...

Time & Its Tricks.

February 08, 2024 08:15 - 10 minutes - 10.9 MB

I heard Alex Harmozi say sometimes you have to give yourself time to just be the student and stop trying to be the teacher. I think that is interesting and it takes off an amount of burden from you to become good from the start. Time will make you think you're too late sometimes but I believe it's only late when you are not breathing anymore.

The Fall Before We Rise.

January 29, 2024 17:50 - 13 minutes - 12.7 MB

There are moments in life when you truly mean to move forward and you do try to move forward but your results plummet. It's okay when that happens as long as you keep Putting in the work. Understand that things go bad sometimes before they get better. }~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}You can reach me on my socials Instagram, X(twitter) & Threads @didam_douglas

Learning To Be Right

January 24, 2024 20:26 - 12 minutes - 11.5 MB

It seems difficult to find good or reliable information about things, especially with the rise of content creators throughout the different fields available to us. It is no surprise because good and evil are embedded in every opportunity and the toll is great when it goes bad. The best thing to do in my experience is to look for patterns not answers and you can use those patterns to develop a formula that will help get you answers.}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~...

New Year; Another Start.

January 22, 2024 13:18 - 12 minutes - 12.8 MB

It's 2024. Finally! I'm excited about this year as I am sure many people are. It feels like a year that has come to give rather than take. However, only those who ask shall be given and only those who seek shall find. It is my prayer that we all find favour but more importantly, that we all plant seeds as we wait for the harvest. Happy New Year 🎊 from me to you ❤️}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}...

Sometimes I Fail.

December 12, 2023 16:08 - 7 minutes - 7.85 MB

Sometimes it's difficult to acknowledge our failures and setbacks. I think the reason is because in the beginning all we hope for is the sweet taste of victory. But victory is an acquired taste like bitter-leaf. You see bitter leaf is bitter on first encounter (obviously) but after you swallow it, there's an after taste that's sweet. I think failure is like swallowing bitter-leaf and the sweet after taste is victory.------------_----------_--------_-----------_-------_----------_----------_--...

Reconnecting Friendships.

December 04, 2023 17:50 - 5 minutes - 5.54 MB

In the movie "Collateral Damage", Will Smith's character suffers a loss that cost his marriage. To be reunited, they both had to become different people so they can meet again. Similarly but under different circumstances I found myself in a situation close to that; in principle at least. You can reach me on my socials Instagram, X(twitter) & Threads @didam_douglas

How Can You Tell When You Are Right?

November 27, 2023 12:30 - 6 minutes - 6.02 MB

I won an argument after I made a point that I wasn't sure about. I was right in the end but it was only a hunch; so it left me wondering if that's enough. If a hunch is enough for me to always put my trust in to determine what's true or not. Listen and share your thoughts. Catch me on Thread, X(twitter) & Instagram @didam_douglas

All You have Is Now.

November 27, 2023 11:36 - 2 minutes - 2.93 MB

As overwhelming as life may become, it goes without saying that we have to be on our game regardless. Sometimes it's almost impossible to see what's ahead because of what's in the present. However the case may be, the most important thing is happening in the present. The future is yet to come and the past will never come back. But the present can change the story.

How A Man Can Pick a Wife

November 14, 2023 15:00 - 12 minutes - 12.7 MB

Dating today has become a problem between Men & Women despite the gap that the internet and social media have covered. We have to find our way around this problem; not because we need it but because we owe it to humanity to preserve that which brought us here so it may bring others. As we take on this responsibly, let us remember that we were all born of a Woman and fathered by a Man. My Socials: X, Threads & Instagram - @didam_douglas

Average Of Your Five

November 07, 2023 12:40 - 12 minutes - 12.3 MB

Sometimes in life I think we come to a point where we're confronted with the choice of doing what we've always done or do something else. The people around us are not always the best people we need but sometimes they are and sometimes it's worth all the stress. This is to the friends we've lost and the ones we will lose and to new ones we'd make and the old ones we would meet again. ✌🏿 Connect with me on X, Instagram & Threads: @didam_douglas

What Are You Angry About

October 26, 2023 21:18 - 13 minutes - 13.8 MB

Many times over, we find ourselves carrying in our hearts negative emotions that we may find difficult to make connections to their sources. It has been proven to be helpful if one can take a moment to reflect over the reasons for the existence of such emotions and we can often find answers in the most unlikely places. A rule of thumb is to be ready for the answers you may get from the questions you may ask.

My Life With God In It

September 13, 2023 12:23 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MB

In a time where believing and talking about God can make you seem uncool, building a relationship with God has been a rewarding experience for me. I'm very far from perfect but God continues to stand by me. For me, God is that which is greater than all that we know. Reach me on Instagram, X & Threads @didam_douglas

Something About Friendship

September 11, 2023 20:34 - 10 minutes - 9.88 MB

We have at a point in our lives had to let go of a person or be cut off from someone's life. Those moments as painful as they may be are moments of learning if we can bring ourselves to the point of contemplation. I hope we do not lose our good friends. If we do, I hope we learn from it.

Something About Forgiveness

September 04, 2023 15:05 - 14 minutes - 13.5 MB

In this episode, I was inspired by the events in my life that I had to let go to get to where I am right now. Life is a difficult endeavour but nothing beats it's experience so let's try by all means to make it worthwhile. You can also reach me on Instagram and on X (twitter): @didam_douglas
