WOTD - "Revenge" - Has your hatred turned towards revenge? #227

Today is Wednesday January 24.  On today's show:
**Tomorrow, Join Bamm Bamm & Pebbles at the Podbean drivin' theater: We will be watching the documentary "All things must pass: The rise and fall of Tower Records," and having a LIVE screen chat on the Podbean app., starting at 7pm MTN.  We will be watching it free on YouTube, at your own houses, so you can get ready.  Friday during the music segment, I will compile a list of artists that either played at Tower Records or came into the store for an album signing.
**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day.  You may need these words of encouragement to brighten your day.
These positive words can significantly influence when used correctly and with someone who may need them.
So, let's go!
Today's word of the day is "Revenge."                
//: the action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for an injury or wrong suffered at their hands:
 
**Quote of the day:

"Revenge is sweet.  There's no way to describe it…it is awesome." - Now that is by Kyle Relly - and I 100% disagree with this quote. 
 
Revenge or Avenge
Do you act out with revenge?
Avenge is a verb – to avenge is to punish a wrongdoing with the intent of seeing justice done.  Whereas REVENGE is more personal, less concern with justice and more about retaliation by inflicting harm.
(Revenge is committing a harmful action against a person or group in response to a grievance, be it real or perceived. Primitive justice or retributive justice is often differentiated from more formal …)
Revenge is doing something to hurt another person because they believe that person hurt them. It is also called vengeance, vendetta, payback, retribution or retaliation.
Revenge re-opens and aggravates your emotional wounds. Even though you might be tempted to punish a wrong, you end up punishing yourself because you can’t heal.
While taking revenge, it is not morally right to do more harm to the enemy than they did to you. Revenge can unite people, and not in a good way.  Vengeful people connect to each other like flies to shit.  They have the same agenda…to hurt & destroy. 
**Understanding how emotions and thoughts influence behavior is important for people who have intense emotions and are often ruled by them.  Meaning they cannot control their anger and most importantly MOUTH!  It will spew vitriol before thinking.
We have all had people like that in our lives. Someone in my past, was constantly being banned on this platform or that platform because they could not ever control ….well basically their mouth.
We need to have knowledge about emotions and the thoughts that strengthen or soften those emotions, will help develop ways to better manage their crappy actions.
I am saying this for us, so that if, and when we ever feel the need to be vengeful.  And yes, I am not immune from this all-consuming disease of having revenge.
Revenge is a struggle that is centuries old.  Shakespeare said, “If you prick us do we not bleed?  If you tickle us do we not laugh?  If you poison us do we not die?  AND if you wrong us shall we not revenge?” Shakespeare clearly thought revenge was normal. 
But, what about the idea that revenge is self-destructive??  Confucius said, “Before you emark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.”
Gandhi seemed to agree, he said, “An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”
But who of us hasn’t said, “I hope he gets what he deserves,” or wish that Karma would strike sooner in the person that you think has hurt you. I have "thought" those things BUT the difference is, I never act out and do it.  Out-of-control revenge, attack and counterattack only destroys the lives of all involved.
For the revenger it is a form of establishing justice.  Revenge is just uncontrolled anger that has turned to hatred, our word of the day on Monday.
The revenger who has been hurt seems to believe without any doubt, first that they did nothing wrong, and secondly that if the other party suffers, then they will feel better, and their pain will lessen.  But that is soooo not true.
Revenge makes you feel worse in the long run.  You might "PLAY" that all is ok.  That you moved on.  Whatever lie you tell yourself.  But again, you acted out on your anger. 
So, What to do when you have thoughts of revenge??
-        How about waiting until you are emotionally calm and can actually think rationally before making decisions.  Now if you have been doing this all your life, it will not come easy, the act of choosing NOT to act out on your anger.
-        Focus on what is in your control-
Sometimes it may be that standing up for yourself is the right step.  BUT do so in a positive way.
-        You have to know that some people will break your trust.  That is allllll about them, and not about you!!
Remember, weak people revenge.  Strong people forgive, Intelligent people ignore.
Listen to this from fearless soul on revenge.
Her is one last quote, that I do agree with, "The best revenge is to have enough self-worth not to seek it." -
You got this; I believe in you!!

WOTD - "Hate-Hatred" - Start your day with a little sugar!#226

Today is January 22nd, on today's show:
 **I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day.  You may need these words of encouragement to brighten your day.  Spreading knowledge is a powerful way of adding value to the world.
So let's go!
Today's word of the day is   "hate/hatred"
//:hate: feel intense or passionate dislike for (someone):
Hatred: hatred is hate that you never let go of.  You stew and fester over the hate you have that now it has become "extreme dislike and disgust'.
**Quotes**
"Hatred makes you weak where else love makes you vulnerable there's a difference." - quotes snydie
"Don't worry about the haters….They are just angry because the truth you speak contradicts the lie they live." -
Are you full of hate or hatred?
It starts with anger, jealousy or insecurity.  It has been described as the most destructive phenomenon in human history.  Hate/Hatred.  The distraction from the hater not dealing with inner pain. 
You are not born with hatred in your heart.  It is an emotion learned over time.  Hatred tends to emerge as a learned emotion that flourishes in the absence of compassion.
People might begin to hate another person when they:
-  are envious or want what the other person has.
-  Have contempt for another person and believe they are inferior.
-  Learned hatred from parents, their friends and social groups.
-  They "feel" humiliated or mistreated by another person
If you leave your hate unchecked, it will intensify from intolerance to a pure hatred. Hate eliminates that ability to show empathic concern for the injustice done to another. 
Hate numbs the guilt and shame that you should feel for your shitty behavior.  Most importantly, it eliminates your ability to understand why you feel the hatred and how to eliminate it, by learning to understand why you feel the hatred in the first place.
It is shown in many ways depending on your personality.  Many people show hatred towards someone by attacking them verbally, calling them names. Insulting them to others or make disparaging remarks about them.
They also show aggressiveness, anger, disgust, or retaliation against that person.
One of the reasons why hatred is the most destructive phenomenon in human history is the fact that the hater likes to enlist recruits into his army of hate.  People who hate think, feel and behave from an "in-group" versus an "out-group" mentality.
These newly enlisted recruits themselves have no issue with the hated BUT the hater is like a child who cannot control their anger and disappointment, and gets others involved just to feel better about their decision to hate.  This in turn will make the initial feelings of hatred even more intense and long lasting.
When a person chooses (Yes it is a choice) to hate you, they see you doing something that they want to do but cannot on their own, they may try to stop you, slow you down by trying to get others to be against you.  This is because watching you succeed on your own, without the leching off others, makes them feel inferior, insecure and unworthy.
They therefore, criticize you, gossip about you, ridicule you, laugh at you, anything to try to hinder your progress.
Remember how I said on Friday about self-centered, narcissistic people how they want to compete? 
When the hater decides to start involving recruits to their "hate" group, anyone who does not belong is a threat, it has been like that for thousands of years.
Hatred breeds more hate.  When you are letting other people harbor the hate YOU have, YOU and only YOU have decided to create a endless cycle of hate.
There is a Native American anecdote that says: A grandfather talking to his young grandson tells the boy he has two wolves inside of him, struggling with each other.  The first is the wolf of peace, love and kindness.  The other is the wolf of fear, greed and hatred. "Which wolf will win, grandfather?" asks the young boy.  "Whichever one you feed" he replies.
The more you hold onto hatred, the more likely it will end up burning you.  AND the more you feed it, the stronger it will become.
I read an article that said to look at hate in a different way,
The "H" stands for Healing
The "A" stands for Aggressive
The "T" stands for Thoughts
And the "E" stands for Emotionally
Consider the following steps:
- first learning meditation is a first great step.  It is not easy but well worth it.
-  when you feel hateful thoughts, stop, take a deep breath, let it out very slowly, repeat
- consciously choose to challenge your "irrational" hateful thoughts
-  look inward as to why "YOU" can not let go
REMEMBER -"Nothing turns to hate so bitter…as what once was love." - Laurell K. Hamilton
YOU GOT THIS…I BELIEVE IN YOU!

It's Fri-YAY, Y'ALL! - WOTD - self-centered #225

Today is Friday January 19th, welcome.  On today's show:
**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day.  You may need these words of encouragement to brighten your day.
These positive words can significantly influence when used correctly and with someone who may need them.
So let's go!
Today's word of the day is "self-centered"
//: Being self-centered means having a single-minded focus on oneself and one's own needs, desires, preferences and problems.
**Quote of the day:
This post may contain affiliate links
"People that truly love us are aware & concerned about our happiness in life.  People that are self-centered want us around to make them happy." - Shannon Thomas - South Lake counseling
What does it mean to be absorbed and or self-centered??
If we take a look at the word "self-centered"  we need to understand that a self-centered or absorbed person tends to be focused on themselves and show no consideration for others.
I do not want y'all to get that confused with self-care.  They differ.  Self-care involves protecting your peace.  Taking care of your health and mental health.  Knowing your limits. Learning to deal with stressors in your life.  Self-care is personal growth.
Now being self-centered is not even close. 
Self-centered people come very close to being narcissists.  A lot of behaviors of a narcissist are the same with a self-centered person.  They are very entitled, manipulative, controlling, and have a lack of empathy or any concern for others. 
(To be empathetic requires one to put themselves in another person's shoes and understand their feeling.  Self-centered people cannot or for a narcissist will not see things from another person's point of view in order to be able to be empathetic.  And wholly cow, it seems like more people now a days are self-centered or narcissistic.
**They are charming and use you to get what they want
Are people so ignorant that they do not see that they are being used for anothers gain?  Or are they just as self-centered because they have learned how to use and are using the user for their own personal gain??  Either way - the current state of humanity really sucks. 
**They make everything a competition -
They will try to either one-up your or down you, depending on the situation.  You know what one upping is. One down you means if you are suffering they try to tell you how they are suffering more.  Now do not get me wrong.  If you are being empathic because you can relate with the persons pain because you have either gone through the same thing or similar.  I am thinking in that situation, that you might have to wait to express how you have also gone through that and be careful how you deliver it.  For me, I appreciate it if someone that has gone through that type of pain, can help me so that I do not have to go through it.  Other times I just need to vent.  I try my hardest to handle situations with love and care.  Moving on…
**They use manipulation to get their way
If someone cares for you, they would not constantly exhibit manipulation, emotional manipulation or a controlling behavior.  This is where you want to look out for other signs of narcissism, like gaslighting (CHECK) and emotional abuse (CHECK, CHECK). 
If you decided to express a concern you have with their behavior and they turn your concern back on you, WARNING SIGN. 
**They are very good at masking their selfishness
There are many ways that a self-centered person  can "mask" their self-centeredness.  They have learned the right way to say things.  The right way to get exactly what they want.  They know how to tailor a conversation to bring it right back to them.
**Oh damn, if you have like this in your life, and dare to say something to them that they do not like, protect yourself and prepare yourself for pushback from this person.  Remember, they do not know how to fully understand because AGAIN they are so self -centered.  I did this.  I went in innocently thinking that, "Hey this person loves me, everything is going to be fine - damn straight I was completely disappointed.  But I had to set boundaries and stay firm.  ULTIMATELY, if they do not like it, then they were only using you and not someone that you want in your life.  But be for warned, you might be dealing with a psycho, in my experience they went after ever so called friend and say whatever they need to say to get them against you and not stop harassing you after take a stand.  But again, if anyone who you might think is a friend and jumps ship because of something someone else says, instead of coming to you, you do not need them in your life.
From self-absorbed people to full-blown narcissist, the bottom line is, if someone treats you like this, drains your energy & show no concern for you or your concerns, however hard it will be to cut them out of your life, sometimes it is necessary for the sake of our own well-being. 
Protect your peace, you got this.  I believe in you.
**Joke of the day: 
-  What do you call a woman who sets fire to all her bills? Bernadette.
-  What do you call a group of rabbits backing up? A receding hare line.

"Connecting through Movies and their soundtracks." #224

Movie - "Walk the Line."
Thank you Bamm Bamm for co -hosting!!  You're the best!

WOTD -Inspire, Inspiring, Inspiration - Wednesday Fun Day!❤️💕#223

Today is Wednesday January 17th, on today's show:
We are back, Bamm Bamm & Pebbles at the Podbean drivin' theater: This Thursday as we host, the return of "Connecting through movies and their soundtracks," is back!!  We will be watching and having a LIVE screen chat on the Podbean app., starting at 7pm MTN. 
**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day.  You may need these words of encouragement to brighten your day.
These positive words can significantly influence when used correctly and with someone who may need them.
So let's go!
Today's word of the day is  "Inspire/inspiring/ inspiration"
//: fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative:
**Quote of the day:
This post may contain affiliate links
"Earn your success based on service to others, not at the expense of others!" - H. Jackson Brown Jr.
"Good people inspire themselves, but great people inspire others." -
"If your actions inspire people to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more.  YOU ARE A LEADER." -
What does it meant to inspire someone, be an inspiration?
To inspire means to motivate or get someone to do or feel something.  It means to show them what is possible through the way you live your life. 
You help awaken something deep inside them. 
People who inspire others typically are very empathetic and uplift others.
*they believe in their hearts they have a story or something to offer that will make a difference and inspire others.  BUT beware there are SOME who just want their moment in the limelight - it is all about them. They truly do not care about you BUT only what you can do for them.  BECAREFUL.
So what makes some people able to inspire us?  Re-ignite the spark in us and make us want to become a better, healthier, stronger version of yourselves?
-  They have courage
People who inspire us have figured out that if you want to make a difference in the lives of others, you have to address your own demons first.  They are not weak.  They are strong and have courage to push through their fears.  They have faced great odds and challenges by turning their "mess into a message," so they can help others overcome their challenges too.
They are warriors and courageous fighters.
-  They are deeply empathetic
I read this article from a former therapist about how people around the world have suffered at the hands of narcissists or morally-corrupt individuals.  He says the most crushing aspect of a narcissist is their total lack of empathy, because they'll do anything to you and against you without any remorse.  I know 100% how this feels.  And I know how when this happens to you, you do feel like giving up on humanity.  BUT I think people like me who in is so deeply imbedded in my soul to be empathic.
- They are loving and appreciative
They are not full of hate.  Instead, they are full of love and appreciation and are not afraid to show it openly. 
In that same article he says,"Look at those who've made the biggest positive difference in history.  Their love, understanding, compassion and appreciation is at the heart of who they are and what they stand for."
-  They believe in uplifting others
They know that uplifting others helps make more positive change in the world.  They are not focused on only growing their own wealth or business.  They passionately want others to succeed,
Be healthy, just live a better life.
-  They use all of the good and bad of their lives to make a difference
They do not hold back.  They use all of their flaws, past shames or pain and their current struggles to help uplift the world. They know that there are others out there that need to hear their stories so that they do not feel alone.
Segment plug - that is EXACTLY why I wanted to start "Squats and Thoughts." I have had sooo many MALES in my life tell me "Sshhh.. Do not tell others things that are going on in your life."  Honestly that person just wanted me all to themselves.  They did not like me connecting with others at all.  I want people to understand that even though I come on this cast and come across chipper, sweet, kind, lovely ect, I like so many others have a story that can help someone else.
For me being completely authentic and open about who I am, flaws and all is what makes me who I am, empathic, loving and kind person.
The world needs more people who are willing to take risks and give their all to make their dreams and others dreams come true.  Their example is one we should all emulate.
Now I have one last thing for you to listen to and it is not me for the moment….

Motivational Monday - (Full show)#222

Today is Monday January 15th, on today's show:
 **I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day.  You may need these words of encouragement to brighten your day.
These positive words can significantly influence when used correctly and with someone who may need them.
Positive words help smooth out the negative feelings within us.
So let's go!
Today's word of the day is   "Integrity"
//:  the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles
**Quote of the day:
This post may contain affiliate links
"Integrity means that if our private life were suddenly exposed, we'd have no reason to be ashamed or embarrassed.  Integrity means that our outward life is consistent with our inner convictions." - Billy Graham
Do you believe you have integrity?
What does integrity mean to you?
Integrity is defined as the "quality of being honest or having strong moral principles."  People with integrity are generally known to be trustworthy, honest and kind.  It is such an important quality to have.
Learning how to behave with integrity can help you build meaningful relationships. 
You should strive to surround yourself with others that have integrity.  But telling if someone has what is considered true integrity and not just faking it? There are many fakers out there!!
Here are some behaviors of a true person with integrity:
-  Take responsibility for their actions
When you have integrity it is about having a very high level of honesty.  When someone is strong enough to take responsibility for their actions, you know that they are a honest person.  People with integrity choose to do the right thing, even when it is difficult to do!
- They help others in need by putting others needs above their own
In a world where everyone tends to focus on themselves, they put others needs before theirs. This is because people with true integrity have no problem helping others and do so happily.
-  They do not jump to conclusions
They always give others the chance to explain themselves, "EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"
-  They are respectful to everyone
They know that everyone deserves respect and treated like a human being.  Now a days people treat others with no respect. People with integrity will never be caught being rude to others, EVEN when they think no one is looking.
-  They are dependable
You will show up to your obligations.  When you say you are going to do something, you do it.  You always know you can count on them, because they keep their words.
A person with true integrity knows that there is strength in being kind instead of choosing to be a jerk. They would NEVER say something nice to your face and them talk behind your back.
Integrity is another trait that is like a muscle, you can develop it over time.
It is a trait that everyone should strive for in their lives. 
Living a life of integrity means that we never have to spend time or energy questioning ourselves.  When you listen to your heart and do the right thing, life becomes simple.  Our lives, and our actions are open for everyone to see, so we don't have to worry about hiding anything. It helps determine your reputation.
This is because they are consistently real about who they are, and stay genuine with what they think and how they feel.  To them, honestly is more important than appearing to be perfect, so you can count on that their reactions and words are expressing their true feelings and honest intentions. 
Keep up the good work, remember you are appreciated, you are not alone and you are loved.
Here is one last quote:
"Integrity is choosing your thoughts and actions based on values rather than personal gain." - Chris Karcher
You got this.  I believe in you!!
