You are custom-made by the Creator of the universe, so you don't have to “try” to be different. You innately are different. Sometimes being yourself is difficult, because it means you'll stand alone in a crowd full of people. But I promise you, the very thing that makes you different will bring you honor, reverence, and God’s favor if you stayed th…

Giving without the expectation of receiving anything in return from another human is a character builder. Our effort is something that we can find ourselves allowing other people to control. We will allow other people’s opinion or judgement cause us to withhold our very best effort. A wise man exemplified to me that giving God our best in all thing…

5 Why do those we love get the lowest version of ourselves? Have we focused so much on loving and helping others that we’ve neglected the very ones we call our own? Don’t allow purpose to be an excuse to mishandle the ones who fuel and invest in you. Give flowers while people are still breathing, and water the flowers that are close to you. I misse…

The mirror is something that often reveals things we don’t want others to see… or even worse… what we don’t want to see about ourselves. The sooner we address our shortcomings, the sooner we can begin the journey of making those our strengths. Self-awareness is a prerequisite to self-improvement. Look at the mirror and look within. How can we be be…

It’s almost guaranteed that when you are on the road to achievement, you will be misunderstood. People will not understand why you live the way you do, and that’s okay. Many times your habits will prepare you for where you are headed and will not make sense for where you are. That’s okay! You are being prepared for greater things, so your process w…

Sometimes our mouths can get us in trouble. Our words are powerful and shape our lives. We find ourselves in great positions and places that we will believe we don’t deserve. I’m here to let you know that you are CHOSEN to be in the exact moment and space you are in. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. NOT EVEN YOURSELF! LOVE Y’ALL! Welcome to B…

I MISSED YOU FAMILY! In my absence from the podcast, I realized that many of us (myself included) have not found a balance in our definition of potential. Many of us think the potential is achieved down the road, so we neglect the present. Contrarily, many of us put too much pressure on ourselves in the present, and don’t give ourselves room for fu…

Great athletes are known for being able to perform in front of both home and away crowds. Sometimes, because of the audience and comfort, we change our consistency and attitude.

Now, we must replace those lies with the right Author and the TRUTH about who we are and what we are capable of! Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim Heard Podcast. The Be Heard. Podcast is hosted by Sim Heard. This show is for anyone searching for the insp…

The false beliefs and the lies that you believe about yourself were taught, and are learned behavior. The killing of your imagination and the placement of limitations on your potential did not start with you. These were learned behavior. The voices that tell you that you cannot and, ‘This is impossible!”, are not those that should be guiding you. A…

There comes a time where to have to be honest and ask ourselves... What is holding me back and causing me to reject the things that will help me? Sometimes the answer calls for reflection we don’t want to do! This reflection is pivotal for growth. Growth is a choice only you can make for yourself… What’s it gonna be? Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim He…

Working with children, I learned that many times we reject and refuse to do things that will better us because we are unaware, lazy, or don’t see the big picture! It’s time to become honest and vulnerable and receive the things that we have kept from ourselves. Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim Heard Podcast. The Be Heard. Podcast is hosted by Sim Heard…

We have a choice to make once we get into a position of power... Purpose our lives into something bigger than ourselves OR be stagnant and pose to bring attention to ourselves. Welcome to Be Heard.

When you think you’ve given all you can, there may be more left you to have within you… You may not be aware of it.

We complain, ALOT! We must understand that even the problems that make us complain are the things that others are praying for.

Listen here, a lot of the time the chapters of our life are not the way we’d like because we’ve given the pen of our lives over to temporary and unstable people. God is the Author of Life, so if you’d like to play a role in an impactful story… Allow Him to take the pen and do what He does... YOU WON’T REGRET IT! Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim Heard P…

Instead of letting purpose drive our decisions and the story of our life… We let the opinions and expressions of PEOPLE dictate the development of our life’s story. Who would you trust to write a book and audience member or a world-renowned author? In the words of my high school teacher, Pamela Perez, “The choice is yours. Welcome to Be Heard. The …

I think that we don’t take breaks and rest because we fear the things that we will have to confront, once we get quiet. Either way, rest is necessary for growth whether we like it or not. Even God took a day of rest, so why can’t we? Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim Heard Podcast. The Be Heard. Podcast is hosted by Sim Heard. This show is for anyone se…

God sometimes has to humble us and quiet us down in order for us to learn things that will advance us and others. Sometimes the hustle and success make us forget who we are here to serve and why we started. Rest allows us to grow and refocus. We just need to obey that when it’s our time to rest and fall back. So we can come back better, wiser, and …

We often lose the vision that propels us to wake up and get after it! We believe that because we maybe don’t have the advantages that others do… that we can’t achieve great and mighty things. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Because… “If You Can See It… You Have A Chance!” Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim Heard Podcast. The Be Heard. Podcast is…

Sometimes we fear that we started wrong, we aren’t where we should be, and that maybe it's not meant for us to excel. Often, we have to remember that our route may not be as “picture perfect” or as easy as the next persons’. Where’s the fun in that? Let’s not lose sight of our big picture and destination… And remember, “If You Can See It…” Welcome …

My Nana showed me that we have to trust our “Perfect Traveler” when we are looking for directions in our journey. Who is that “Perfect Traveler”? That would be God… He has erased the stain of your past, gives you guidance in the present, and has set the table for your future. Love you family! Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim Heard Podcast. The Be Heard…

This Midweek Motivation is meant to remind you that when life is in transition, God is still guiding your steps. We like to look to the past and too far into the future, which makes us forfeit the present opportunities we have. The leaves are falling, the year is nearing the end, and we are faced with new decisions… This sneak peek reminds you that…

I missed you guys so much, but the time away has given me a fresh perspective and lessons to share with you guys. I have been on a journey these past three months that have changed me for the better and provided me with insight. I want to take you guys through that journey… First, I want to share with you a gem I learned and was reminded…. Give wha…

Regardless of the status we achieve or the lifestyle we live we are to make sure we are available to love and help others. We have found ourselves avoiding or staying away from people who need the very help and healing we possess. Are you willing to connect with and reach those who are in desperate need of the presence and peace you possess. Welcom…

Many of us are discouraged. I want us to remember three things… Stay to the Process.. Wipe the Toxicity Away… And remember the pain of the process is not meant for now, but for our legacy and benefit later! I love y’all happy Monday! Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim Heard Podcast. The Be Heard. Podcast is hosted by Sim Heard. This show is for anyone se…

Do you know the difference between hearing and listening? If so, are you careful about who you listen to and allow to help you shape your beliefs. We must make sure those we listen to are credible and worth citing in our lives. Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim Heard Podcast. The Be Heard. Podcast is hosted by Sim Heard. This show is for anyone searchin…

Success should be a lifestyle, not just a moment. We prepare for moments of success, but once we get there we don’t know how to manage the success. The preparation is found in the process we like to skip or cut corners around. We want legacy and not “one hit wonder” success. Legacy is found in the pain of the process. Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim H…

We believe that pain has a purpose. However, when we go through pain we can have trouble keeping the right mindset. This episode is to remind you that pain is a prerequisite to promotion. It’s just our job to manage pain and use it to prepare us for the next level God has for us! Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim Heard Podcast. The Be Heard. Podcast is …

We can get caught up in the people and opportunities that come into our life. We can get so involved that we lose sight of what we should be doing and how well we take care of ourselves. Let’s take a moment to stop and assess our status and progression at this quarter point of the year! Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim Heard Podcast. The Be Heard. Podc…

Our pain chases us. People disrespect us. Our past haunts us. Our flaws cripple us. It is time to stop allowing the idea of perfection to keep us and others from achieving what is meant for us. DMX taught me that perfection is not necessary to be used for God’s purpose. God can use whoever and whatever He wants to achieve His purpose. Welcome to Be…

We like to be recognized by others and seek validation. It’s a human tendency, I get it. However, we cannot live our lives solely with the motive of being seen. We must be okay with being engaged in a process that may be done in the dark but comes to the light in its due time. Can you stay down? Welcome to Be Heard. The Sim Heard Podcast. The Be He…

We tend to care more about how things look rather than being effective in what we are called to do. We think we have to be the most attractive, the richest, and the smartest to be purposeful in our lives. Remember this, it doesn’t matter what it looks like as long as it’s parked in purpose. The broken down cars my mom and I went through in my child…

In honor of Easter Sunday, I wanted to show you guys how the death and life of Jesus is very similar to ours. Also, it’s cool to see how the “pauses” in our life will help us define who is for us and who is against us. Regardless, our mission/purpose remain the same… What is that mission? To spread good news, hope, and let others know that they are…

We are headed into Spring with old Winter habits. We have to stop that. This episode is here to remind you that we have to leave behind the dead, damaged, and diseased parts of our lives behind so we can receive better. Are you willing to cut what is hindering your growth. Let’s leave our comfort to achieve our calling. Happy FRIDAY! Welcome to Be …

We try to hide the ugly pain we have in this life because we struggle with being vulnerable enough to receive help. Vulnerability is scary but is a necessary tool for growth. It leaves us open to get hurt, but it also opens the door for healing. There’s value in being open to the healing we deserve. The question is… Will we open the door and let he…

We all have a light in us to share and sun in our life to be thankful for. However we allow the temporary darkness in our lives to limit our ability to see the hope and positivity our life possesses. We have to go through darkness, fight our fatigue, and reject the dark… In order to get the right perspective on our lives! Welcome to Be Heard. The S…

We get so caught up in the “grind” that we forget why we grind. Our “Why” is what fuels us to continuously move forward in our lives and progress. Usually, the people we love or those who have a big influence on us give us a reason to get out of bed in the morning. It’s time we get in contact with them and see them to rekindle that passion and fire…

Many times, we try to force things into our life and make them fit our comfortable preference. However, we are the ones who must be shaped to be considered “fit” to carry out our purpose. Along with being fit, we must also sharpen our focus and get rid of division and distractions. We must become fit and focused to progress towards purpose. Welcome…

A Lot of us have gone through life putting on an “act”. We have pretended to have our exterior be something that is a misrepresentation of what really goes on in our hearts and minds. Today I want to challenge us to embrace each and every part of our being and move forward authentically being who God calls us to be. We must look in our spiritual mi…
