Dr. Wick Daddy's Daily Nugget - Sept. 13th

Your daily dose of soul food is now served. Enjoy and God bless!

Workplace Etiquette - Daily Nugget #124

In the presence of gossip, there should only be three responses:

Daily Nugget - Are you feelin' it?

If you have breathed oxygen on this planet for any length of time, there will be one revelation that will, eventually, become crystal clear to you:

Your feelings may overflow much less than they do, at other moments in your relationship.

This is normal.

But at about the same time that the 'gushiness' wears off, the commitment should kick in.

This is when we, as my mentor taught me, must act our way into the feeling, instead of waiting to feel our way into an action. Because, honestly, we may never get to the place of 'feeling' like loving that person.

In a nutshell, we must love the unlovable and know that it only takes one moment to shift us, from needing to show compassion to needing to receive it.

Continue to keep it 100 party people.

Daily Nugget - Sensitivity

Sensitivity is an awesome characteristic.

It can be either our greatest ally….or our worst enemy.

The outcome depends how we channel it.

Our sensitivity can:
1. Aid us by making us aware of the needs of others.

2. Equip us to make better decisions about relationships ,business ventures and even the conversations that we entertain.

3. Also be our enemy, when it is channeled inwardly. It can cause us to misinterpret the comments, intentions and motives of those around us. When sensitivity is coupled with focus on self, it can damage our self esteem, our view of others and plants seeds of insecurity.

In the grand scheme of things, we are better off focusing on how we can contribute to the well being of others, instead of focusing on ourselves. When this happens, we will that one of two scenarios will occur:

1. We become our own worst critics.

2. We may think we are better than others.

Both outcomes are unhealthy and untrue.

The moral of the story: we must be sensitive to, and focus on, others. As we do this continually, God will eventually begin to solve the issues that we may seem unsolveable.

Have a swagnificent day party people!

The Relationship Series: Choosing Sides.

One of the most difficult lessons we will ever have to learn is taking a stand for what we believe in and for those that we love. Everyday, events occur that we can allow to draw us closer or pull us further from those we are in relationship with. What is most challenging, at times, is understanding that our relationships are also package deal. In essence, when packages dissolve between our loved ones and others, we are faced with the task of deciding whether or not we will defend those that we are connected to.

Daily Nugget # 1 - Stop the Clock.

Happy New Year, Party People!

The Relationship Series # 1 - Check your connections.

Friends can talk to you, or talk about you; but invariably, they cannot do both. If you have noticed a significant decrease in the amount of talk time you've shared with a close friend, consider examining it. There may be personal issues that are afloat, and negative dialogue about you, is simply one of many possibilities. Changes in behavior, non-verbal communication, or a decrease in conversation with you, are something that should not be ignored. Pray first, seek counsel and write down your thoughts, should you decide to engage the person. If you feel matters may escalate. then it may help to have a third party present. The goal is not invite a beat-down on either side; rather, the goal is to get to the root of the matter. It is best to figure out who is in your corner, while the chips are down. You may not be able to tell the difference between the two, when prosperity arrives.

Daily Nugget #182 - E&G - The recipe for inner peace.

Dearly beloved..........We are gathered here again, today, to get through this thing called life.

Daily Nugget #174 - Respond and transform!

"Our interractions with others are shaped by, more than any other factor, our responses to them. Hence, we must come to the realization that we have trained others how to treat us by how we respond to them.

Co-Worker Co-Dependency Syndrome - Signs to watch for.

Greetings Party People!

Yes, it is that time again. First, I want you to know that I count it a privilege to share this time with you. I do not take your time, nor your comments for granted. I am finding myself, becoming more of a student, than a teacher, as I am sharing here with you on "The Dr. Wick Daddy Show!" It is truly an honor.

I was inspired to write this piece by a dear friend of mine, who was kind enough to share an experience that she had at a recent company outing. She observed a strange phenomenon that I beleve we are all, quite too familiar with.

Lock and Key

Good morning friend.

I am writing to you at this hour, after much inner turmoil, regarding the nature of this topic. It has been some time, since our last post, here at TDWDS! Furthermore, I don't want this to turn into a five paragraph intro, so let's just dive in, shall we?

Relationships - The Workplace.

Happy April Fools to you!

I have chosen this day to share this relationship nugget for a very specific reason, that I will delve into, momentarily.

Relationships - Are you on display............or hidden?

Ladies, this part is dedicated to you.

Relationships - Are you too sexy to be faithful?

Are you buckled up? Cool. Here we go.

Relationships - Are you being mistreated?

The treatment that we receive from others is a direct result of what we permit them to say or do in our presence. There may have been a number of things that triggered the wrong behavior: gossip, verbal disagreement, or an offense that was picked up from another person. However, we cannot allow the unresolved issue to persist.
