He passionately articulates that swine-minded people are unappreciative, willfully ignorant, and often unrepentant about taking advantage of others' generosity. Through personal anecdotes and relatable scenarios, Bruce guides listeners in identifying such individuals and offers practical solutions to preserve their peace and maintain healthy boundaries. Join the conversation as Bruce explores the fine line between helping those in need and setting limits with those who refuse to change, all while emphasizing the importance of being led to help rather than obligated by personal duty. This episode promises to resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with the challenges of giving and feeling appreciated in their relationships.

Essential Discourse With Bruce Smith
Welcome to the Essential Discourse Podcast! I'm your host, Bruce Smith, and I'm thrilled to kick off our first episode of 2025 with you. Have you ever heard, "It's not how you start; it's how you finish?" That may be true. However, I submit that how you start matters in the time it takes one to achieve his or her goals. Today, we're setting the stage for a year of intentional living and meaningful goal-setting. In this episode, I dive deep into the difference between New Year's resolutions and goals and why resolutions often fall short. I'll explore the significance of starting strong, maintaining the right mindset, the vital role of self-motivation, and more. Drawing analogies to assembling furniture without instructions, we'll discuss the importance of having a clear plan and understanding the true motivations behind your goals. You'll learn about the power of self-discipline, the necessity of making sacrifices, and the benefits of having a community and mentor for support and accountability. I'll also talk about how focusing on self-improvement and authenticity in goal-setting can lead to real, lasting success. Plus, I'll share my plans for more live sessions this year and the various platforms where you can connect with the Essential Discourse Podcast. So, get ready to start right and end well in 2025. Let's make this year your best one yet! Remember that life, by design, is a perpetual progression. Many of us have areas where we settle into comfort zones, hindering our growth. In embracing discomfort, we can reignite our motivation, enhance our self-esteem, and seize new opportunities. Stagnation always negatively impacts our mental well-being, leading to dissatisfaction. I hope we'll challenge ourselves to move beyond our comfort zones and strive to become our best selves.

Essential Discourse With Bruce Smith
Ever catch yourself spiraling into a black hole of 'what ifs' and endless doubt? Trust me, you're not alone. Today, we're diving headfirst into the all-too-common struggle of overthinking! Hey everyone! Welcome back to The Essential Discourse Podcast. I am your host, Bruce Smith! Overthinking causes many people to fail in various aspects of life. Relationships suffer or, worse, are destroyed because of it. Overthinking causes some to have severe battles with depression, self-confidence, and more. In this short, relevant, powerful, and enlightening episode, I dive deep into the pervasive issue of overthinking, a mental habit that can cripple our minds and hinder our everyday lives. From personal anecdotes to societal influences, I explore the roots and repercussions of overthinking, discussing how it manifests in relationships and everyday scenarios. I emphasize how overthinking can stem from fear and recount its detrimental effects—from missed opportunities to isolation and self-sabotage. I also highlight the importance of managing this condition, advocating for professional help when necessary, and offering practical advice for building self-confidence and fostering a healthy mindset. We've all been there—lying awake at night, dissecting every little detail, and letting our minds run wild with anxiety. This sets the stage for our most significant critic to reign supreme without proper perspective or logic. Are you ready to break free from the paralyzing clutches of overthinking? Tune in, and let’s tackle this mental monster together. Let's discover ways to break free from overthinking and transform your mental landscape.

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיWelcome to another powerful episode of The Essential Discourse Podcast. I’m your host, Bruce Smith, and today, we're tackling a topic that's often overlooked but deeply impactful: the grief associated with grieving. In this episode, we're going beyond the conventional understanding of grief to explore the additional layers of frustration, annoyance, and even anger that can complicate the mourning process. This is a topic that is crucial for all of us to understand and manage. Have you ever felt overwhelmed, not just by the sorrow of losing a loved one, but by the chaos left in their wake? This episode dives into what I call "annoyance grief" — the trouble and burden that arises from a loved one not having their affairs in order. We’ll discuss how the lack of preparation, such as not having life insurance, a will, or final instructions, can place an unbearable load on those left behind. As someone who has personally grappled with this, I’ll share my experiences and insights. We'll look at how these irresponsible actions can transform grief into anger, resentment, and even physical stress, affecting both our mental and physical health. The episode will also emphasize the crucial steps you can take — like securing life insurance and drafting a will — to alleviate this additional grief and allow your loved ones to focus on the emotional aspect of your loss. Join us as we confront these hard truths and inspire each other to take responsible action for the sake of our families and loved ones. It's a tough conversation but an essential one. So, grab a seat, get comfortable, and let's get into it. This is The Essential Discourse Podcast, and today's episode is about navigating the additional layers of grief. Stay tuned for a conversation that can elevate your perspective and maybe even change your life.

Essential Discourse With Bruce Smith
Welcome to the Essential Discourse Podcast! In today's episode, we're diving deep into a topic that hits home for many of us: the struggle with frustration and anger. Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by stress, unable to control the things around you, and feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders? We're going to unpack these powerful emotions and explore how emotional intelligence can be a game-changer in managing them. We'll discuss self-care's critical role, empathy's importance, and how building trust and confidence through human connections can transform your life. Stay tuned as I share my personal journey and the hard-earned lessons that can help you navigate through life's toughest challenges. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to find balance and strength in the face of adversity. This podcast episode is my reflection on dealing with anger and frustration caused by uncontrollable situations, partly due to the irresponsibility of others and myself. I share my own experiences of stress and emotional turmoil, highlighting how these feelings can lead to negative actions and the importance of recognizing and addressing one's mental and emotional health. I discuss the concept of emotional intelligence and the need for a supportive network to help navigate these challenging emotions. I emphasize the consequences of neglecting self-care, recounting a recent incident where my pent-up frustration led to a regrettable outburst. I underscore the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions and the necessity of holistic self-care—mental, emotional, and spiritual. The podcast episode concludes with a call to action, encouraging listeners to share their experiences and engage in a dialogue to support one another in managing life's stresses and maintaining emotional well-being.

As professionals and collective people, we all are taught conflict resolution. You can conduct a Google Search for conflict resolution and find a plethora of articles, self-education courses, etcetera concerning the subject matter by world-renowned experts. Hardly anyone receives a thorough education in reference to Internal Conflict. Why is that? When you consider that all people will at some point have to contend with a war within one's self. It occurred to me that we learn how to manage and come to positive resolutions regarding external conflicts (things we cannot control) but are left to fend for ourselves in reference to Internal Conflicts. In this episode, I put forth an effort to (1) identify what Internal Conflict is & what causes Internal Conflict, (2) How Internal Conflict can negatively affect us, (3) Steps we can deploy to lessen the effects of Internal Conflict, and (4) how to make the best decisions possible despite being conflicted.

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיIt never ceases to amaze me how older people, particularly " church folk " with vast experiential knowledge act as if they've always been as mature as they are currently. As if they've always been PERFECT . Obviously, better stated, hopefully, the 24-year-old version of you wouldn't behave, dress, speak, think, etc. like the 14-year-old version of you. However, the 30, 40, and so on versions of ourselves tend to develop convenient amnesia regarding our past. Specifically, our poor choices, decision-making, and the lesson learned from the series of consequences resulting from our choices. Many of us unmercifully bash the younger generations and our peers as if we are perfect, without faults or sins. For this, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves. We oftentimes miss opportunities to draw people in with loving-kindness. Instead, we push people out and away with #Hypocritical #Condemnation rhetoric. We often fail to extend to others the measure of grace, compassion, empathy, and encouragement we received. We tend to act as if we've always had it together. You and I know that is not true. Understanding this truth, why do we continue to participate in and or perpetuate the Hypocritical Condemnation of those who have yet to arrive at a higher level of growth and maturity? Why do we not seize these opportunities to share our testimonies to strengthen, encourage and provide hope? Why do "so-called Christians" not find value in paying it forward? It is the Love of the Christ. Oftentimes, "So-Called Christians" who self-identify as Evangelicals, Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Catholics, etc., can not be distinguished from non-Believers. One could contend that there's no love, life, or power within these particular people. And because of this, they stand and present as poor representatives of Christ, Christianity, and the Church. It's past time for True Believers to take a stand. It's time for True Believers to model Christ and be the best Ambassadors we can be. Live the Christian Life and put an end to Hypocritical Condemnation.

Essential Discourse With Bruce Smith
The Mid-Term Election is nearly over. Excluding Georgia's Senate runoff, the control of the Legislative Branch of the Federal Government has been decided. Many states' leadership positions, governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, and others have been decided. What role did you play? Were you an active participant? Were you one of the millions of citizens who choose to sit this one out? These are all reflective questions. Regardless of how you answer the question, Political Maturity or the lack thereof was on full display. Many people exercise their power to identify problems, talk about these problems, and verbally rail against the systems and elected officials. Beyond the talk, beyond the insults, beyond repeating what you've been programmed to believe on FOX, CNN and etc., what actions have any of us taken to bring about the change we say we want? Political Maturity 2 revisits the episode I published in Feb 2022. This episode got a resounding 17 downloads (LOL). Many of the things seen during this cycle were discussed in detail in the episode. I encourage you all the actually listen to it. This, Political Maturity 2 isn't that. This episode highlights the consequential effects on the majority ( the working poor) that continues to reign supreme as a result of the majority's ignorance (intentional or unintentional), callousness, divisive nature, distracted mindsets, and disregard for the process. Without Political Maturity, there can be no community ownership, group economics, or community power because there is no unity among the majority..."The Working Poor". This podcast cast episode is 47 minutes long. 47 minutes of truth you may not want. However, this truth is what we desperately need.

One of the biggest hindrances to establishing and maintaining healthy relationships is "Misconceptions". A misconception is defined as a view or opinion that is incorrect because it is based on faulty thinking or understanding. If "Misconceptions" hinder ordinary relationships, what are their effects on marriages, parent-child, and other intimate relationships? Many people who enter these relationships have misconceptions about what love is, how love is or should be displayed, and have faulty expectations that love is all about "Happiness" and "Happy Feelings". In this episode, my guest, Yulonda Washington, and I discuss 8 common "Love Misconceptions in a Relevant, Restorative, Reasonable, and Responsible manner. The listener, by the end of this episode, will be better equipped to not identify issues and employ solutions to remedy the issues including Family / Marriage Counseling, Effective Communication Techniques, and more.

So often, we tend to overlook acts of kindness. Acts that meet a specific need in our lives. A kind word, a smile, the sharing of information, and etcetera are a few examples of this. The danger in this is, if we continue to discount the seemingly small things, we may come to have a decreased appreciation for the not-so-small things that our brothers and sister do to meet our needs. We refer to this as "Entitlement". I don't know anyone who enjoys the company and or behaviors of "Entitled" people. Common sense says, when someone does something for you, you ought to say "Thank You". Better yet, the recipient of the kindness and compassion should put on display Genuine Gratitude. In this short episode, I point out the related connection to Genuine Gratitude and the effect it should have on all persons evolved.

29:10 הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתי29:10
הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיDisappointment is an unavoidable adversary to every human being. Disappointment, unchecked, clouds one’s judgment, attitude, and perspective of not only his/her life but also limits his/her ability to fellowship with other humans. Few people immediately look for the opportunities that disappointment offers. What if I told you that disappointment is an agent of growth and maturity? No, being disappointed isn’t pleasurable or desirable. Disappointment cuts, scars, and bruises. However, when you resolve to dominate over and against disappointment, the effect becomes less excruciating. The fact that disappointment’s effect becomes less excruciating is proof of your development. This development doesn’t cause you to seek “an eye for an eye” or throw yourself a pity party. This development causes you to be more resilient, wiser, and more knowledgeable in ways that you would not have obtained if it were not for the lesson wrapped in the pain of disappointment.

Essential Discourse With Bruce Smith
The cost of education has increased by as much as 19% over the last ten years. A Bachelor's Degree is as helpful as a High School Diploma. Everyone knows at least three people who attended and graduated college who aren't working in their field of study. It seems the only thing attending college assures you of is debit. So, remind me of why I should attend college again.... As a parent, you want the absolute best for your child | children. I think we'd all agree that not having to work an entry-level position after obtaining his Master's Degree, additional debit to his already ballooned payments, isn't ideal. In this episode, we'll survey a reasonable approach to determining if attending college, not just for a child but also for anyone else thinking about it, is indeed worth it. #Buzzsprout #EDPSHOW.COM #EssentialDiscourseWithBruceSmith For your convenience, the Essential Discourse Podcast is available on your favorite streaming apps, including Apple Podcast, Spotify, and iHeart.

Essential Discourse With Bruce Smith
Words have meanings. Unfortunately, many of us give no thought to the words that fall off our lips. Specifically, the titles we place upon people. Titles given and not earned. One such word is #Friend. What do you actually know about your "friend"? Do you really know your "friend"? What qualifies this person as a "friend"? Has this "friend" proven that he or she is in the "friendship" with you? I'm will the wager that many of us are involved in nonreciprocal relationships right now with so-call friends. "Friends" who unreliable, never check on your well being, always have an excuse as to why the can't do what you ask, never speak encouragement into your life, lie to your face and scandalize your name when you're not around. However, these same "friends"can count on you to bail the out of a jam, provide support, money and other needs. You don't have a friend. You have a #frenemy. Someone who only comes around when they're in need or when you have the means to grant them access to something they want. Again, words have meanings. You should be extremely cautious with whom you label as your "friend". As you listen to this episode, I'll explain why and how to avoid making the mistake of unwisely giving users, abusers, and those with alternative motives the title of FRIEND.

Essential Discourse With Bruce Smith
In the day and age we currently live in, some would have you believe TRUTH can be altered. Almost no one has an issue with their personalized versions of the truth. However, nearly everyone takes exception to the complete and in-context truth. Many, from the white house to the outhouse, have subscribed to the notion of alternative facts and partial truth. The truth about absolute truth is that it is uncompromising, immutable, and unbiased. This is evident by the debate on what is actual history and if it can be taught in public high schools. Some would attempt to make you believe that the Native Americans volunteered to be placed on the reservation and that slavery wasn't as bad as some make it out to be. Additionally, 2 years removed from the last presidential election, there are still people who believe that the election was rigged and stolen. This, after and despite being presented an overwhelming amount of evidence that would assure a logical person that this narrative is incorrect. As individuals and as a group of people, we cannot afford to deceive ourselves into believing that some contrived version of the truth will promote our growth, maturity, or our personal and or spiritual relationships. It's one thing to be ignorant because one just doesn't know. It's a completely different thing when one knows but chooses to not apply knowledge obtained. That is the worst kind of ignorance...Willful Ignorance. No, this isn't a political podcast in nature. However, these examples serve to illustrate how dangerous a mindset of "MY TRUTH" is. We are focusing on the individual responsibility or lack thereof of people to and for The Complete Truth. We have outlined serval confrontational questions for consideration. And, we also outline correct measures that can be implemented in one's daily life to walk in and under the guidance of Complete Truth.

For the purposes of today’s episode, Time is the resource we are focusing on. Time as a resource is of a limited quantity and is in high demand.

There is too much on the line for you not to know. A position of political maturity ensures that our needs are and will continue to be met. Our, (Black, White, Male, Female, and any other descriptive you identify as or with) progression as an ethnic, social-economic class of people relies on our ability to make intelligent nonpartisan decisions that will impact our communities the way we desire. Being united in pursuit of solutions for our common issues is how we overthrow our common enemy by making use of the full weight of the ballot. Take race and emotion out of the equation and you have a group of people who have the same needs and desires. Affordable health care, livable wedges, a better future for ourselves and our children, communal safety, and the assurance that our elected officials operate in accordance with the will of the people. For too long we allowed what differentiates us to prevent us from being united against our true enemy. That enemy is greed and power accumulated by one group of people whose only goal is to grow their wealth and the wealth of their friends while keeping us (poor people) divided and powerless. We have the power to correct this if we exercise Political Maturity . This episode features commentary from the DL Hughley Radio Show and George Carlin’s 2005 interview.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Monroe Louisiana radio personality Damian "Grave Digga" Harris. Grave Digga shared some of the highs and lows of his 25-year career with us. Grave Digga gave us insight into the music industry, pitfalls, relationships, and future plans. This was in many aspects a trip down memory lane. We hope you enjoy Episode 0.

Here, in Episode 2, we hear from the Adult Children's Perspectives. Let me tell you, I'm a better person and father as a result of this conversation. As parents we make mistakes. Those mistakes should never include not being able to admit that we've made mistakes. Therefore, we all have room to grow. My children were open, honest, and had the freedom to respond to what they heard in Episode 1. They were encouraged to express their emotions and reflect on the methods of parenting they had experienced. Additionally, they offered their unique perspective as adults in reference to not only lessons taught and learned, but also what they actually needed in place of "teachable moments". We've repaired some bridges and built new ones over the course of these two weeks. And, we shall continue to keep moving forward in strengthening our relationships.

Essential Discourse With Bruce Smith
Just as no one provided you with an instruction manual specific to your baby, toddler, tween, and or teen, no one taught us how to parent our individual adult children. This has been a daunting task for many of us. A task we really do not discuss with our peers or family in an enlightening way. Most of our communication with other parents who are in this unique situation amount to a venting session at best. And, for those reasons listed above, I believe the subject matter is an outstanding topic for Essential Discourse. When we are able to understand that our children are individuals, will and most make their own decisions and deal with the consequences of those decisions we can let go. We can let go knowing two things if we've taken the responsibility of stewardship seriously. The first, is that they have been throughly equipped to deal with circumstances of life regardless to have they behave. The second, is that life will teach them what they would not adhere too with us being their instructors. Life is about choices, failures, lessons learned, growth and maturity. As parents of adult children, we can not allow ourselves to become hinderances to our children's adulthood development. We most learn to transition from the authoritative roles into the role of advisors.
