    Marriage - Learning to Forgive

    In marriage, you have to give a little and expect a little. No one is perfect, and we can not go into a relationship thinking we will change the other person. The only person you can change is yourself, which is one thing you need to remember in a relationship.  Today we talked about our relationship. We have been together a long time and have been through most trials that a relationship will face, and we made it through to the other side.  We talk about everything from arguing about what food we are going to eat to infidelity.  We are not scared to share the bumps, bruises, and skeletons, along with all of the good.

    Why Listen To The Standing Stronger Podcast

    The Standing Stronger Podcast was first launched in 2014 and has since garnered over 1 million downloads and has been listened to across the world.  The show started as we navigated through the murky waters of mental health and then began to morph into a show about success in life, marriage, and business. Then, as it tends to happen, life got in the way, and we took a hiatus. We are beyond blessed to announce that we were able to grow our businesses, our life, and our marriage during that hiatus.  We are excited to bring the show back and look forward to sharing the journey with you every Monday.

    Turing Dreams into Reality

    On our previous podcast, we talked about how you should never stop dreaming. However, a dream is just a dream until you put together a plan of action. Then that dream becomes a goal, and with the proper amount of effort, that goal becomes a reality.

    Expectations - A Recipe for Disappointment

    You can not expect people to live up to your expectations of them, they can only live their best life, even if you think they can do better. If you expect someone to act a certain way or respond in a certain way, you are setting yourself up for disappointment; you can only accept who they are and be ok with the decisions they make, even if you think they are wrong. That does not mean you need to tolerate the behavior. If they are someone, you should not be around you need to cut ties. But you can not expect them to change.

    Don't be Afraid to Dream

    As we grow up, our dreams get crushed. It may be because you realize that you are 5'2" and not really the best fit in the NBA, or because someone said you were not good enough. We dare to dream as kids and as our hopes and dreams get crushed by life, we stop dreaming all together. It is just easier that way right? Why get our hopes up? Stay safe! Nope, that is a big pile of steaming dog crap. If you quit dreaming you resign yourself to a life of mediocrity. Lets start dreaming again.
