The Word Café Podcast with Amax
My unique message to the world is the power behind the words of our mouths. We have made light of it but cannot escape the fruits thereof. For me, words are the unit of creation, the building block on which our existence evolves. This podcast is for everyone who wants to better their living by using words and applying themselves wisely. I will be using the storytelling style fused with imaginative nuances to transport the listener to that place, where possibilities are not luxuries but everyday experiences; movie in voice.
This podcast will emphasize the power of routine, and what you repeatedly do, you most likely build capacity and expertise for what you repeatedly do. My podcast will help the listener learn how to practice success because the same amount of time you use in complaining is the same you can use to plant, build, prune, etc. I intend to draw the listener's attention to the power of their words.

S2 Ep.113 Practising Calmness
Still, waters run deep.
The above is a famous quote. Still, waters run deep is a proverb of Latin origin now commonly taken to mean that a placid exterior hides a passionate or subtle nature. Formerly it also carried the warning that silent people are dangerous, as in Suffolk's comment on a fellow lord in William Shakespeare's play Henry VI part 2:
Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep,
And in his simple show, he harbors treason...
No, no, my sovereign, Gloucester is a man
Unsounded yet and full of deep deceit. [1]
The aspect I am looking at here is the element of the exterior not having control of the internal. From my observation as a human here on earth, our lives are best lived from the inside out and not the other way around. The external is always subject to the internal, but unfortunately, so many of us have lost the fight. We have given control to external pressures, and somehow we crumble under that pressure.
Looking at the lives of successful people, one will see this level of calmness with which they operate, taking charge of their affairs, not living in denial of the external pressures but pointing to the reality of the inner truth of living from within. In putting this down, the serenity prayers come to mind, which is attributed to a prayer attributed to Reinhold Neibuhr, 1892-1971;
God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next. Amen.
I see this as a prayer from within, living from within.
On this episode of the Word Café, this will be my focus.
