OPEN MINDFUL

As an individual, do you personally feel your remaining OPEN MINDFUL to different lifestyles and cultures? Are you set in your ways? Are you stubborn?? Personally, I can describe experiencing first-hand a few select and special cities, countries and locations. For example, in Spain, the fashion, moped, coffee, siesta, and smoking cafe culture was quite prominent. In Spain instead of working a straight 9-5, they take a mid day siesta & lengthy pause from 1 to 3 pm. This siesta seemed to give the day a healthy break, before resuming in full economic force at 4pm with store re-openings and such. Is the siesta or mid day break something we in America, maybe could use a bit of?? Anther personal example would be daily break neck speed and constant energy of Manhattan. In so far as culture, it's best described as an immensely populated, cool, edgy, fun, professional, fashionable & lively island on "eight cups of coffee". Personally I truly enjoyed their "WALKIN...

Our subject today is the worldwide institution of marriage between 2 people. Either Traditional Straight or Gay or Whatever?? Do you still believe in institutional marriage? Is it a beneficial thing? Is it the Answer we're all striving for?? Does it improve the overall quality of life? Is Marriage, Something to be Avoided?? Is it simply a "stage" of life?? OR do you feel with the sheer number of attractive people worldwide that entertaining the field, dating, and remaining OPEN minded to the market and NEW people is preferable?? In another marriage version and model, I think in the Mormon religion and faith, with marriage comes MULTIPLE wives for a husband. This method of marriage with multiple wives also seems to be able to produce and sustain a family. Are the others versions of life long partnerships and commitment , I'm leaving out?? If so, feel free to comment and chime in. If there are, it would be great to be enlightened. It would be welcoming to lear...

Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi...

What is the difference between confidence and vanity? Is there an outright answer? A definitive solution and line? At what point has one "crossed the border?" I think we can agree vanity is NOT a good thing. In regards to this confidence and vanity subject, it can be related to numerous aspects of our lives. For example it could relate to professional work positions, companies, accomplishments, and places. Perhaps it could be based on one's intellect? Cultured Mindset? Athletic Prowess? It could be as superficial as looks, physique and appearance. What if you feel totally justifiable in this confidence and having the aura of being the best? For example, if you were in a room where no one has ever even attempted or accomplished what you have? Not even close? Does that make it okay? Should you hold it above people? Or should one pretend, play it cool and just roll with the crowd, punches and room? If your the most talented or attractive person in a place, should th...

The Southern Experience. I am now officially 1 month and a week Happily removed from the mecca and whirlwind that is Manhattan. Yes, I am pleasantly and happily surprised. The flight was looong. Yet, upon arriving in Texas, I was startled to realize how CLEAN, everything is here. The streets are immaculate. I sometimes wonder looking around and marvel at how this urban cleanliness is so easily and successfully achieved. I was used to seeing trash baskets every two steps and walking through litter, even in the best of neighborhoods up there. It must be a pride thing? A unity of the common residents and citizenry to preserve their grounds for the greater good. Overall, I remain and continue to be impressed! Additional bonus points in the Southern Experience, include the SPACE and square footage of Everything. You name it, apartments, condos, retail stores, parks, movie-theaters, restaurants, cars, people, & all are much more spacious. No more cramming in tiny places. There is ROOM to...

Greetings from a library on Madison Avenue in New York City. In this fast paced, immensely and densely populated urban mecca, one is bound to inevitably engage in conversation. It is possible to go a day without physically talking to another human, yet this may not suit one's personality. What do you like to talk and converse about? What are your favorite stories, topics, industries, and outlets for discussion? Do you mind talking about yourself? Or, are your more interested in others? Personally, am proud of certain elements and life accomplishments achieved at youthful ages, thus far. Often, enjoy sharing them. For example, my southern Texan pride and mantras. Also, stories from being a guest attendant at www.hotelgansevoort.com in the Meatpacking District of New York City. Modeling on behalf of www.abercrombie.com in Manhattan, and so forth.........www.linkedin.com/in/georgevance... Yet, personal bios aside, believe being topical and "in the moment" may be the best wa...

As confident individuals of this earth, believe we make genuine, intelligent effort to look out for our best interests and well being? Wouldn't you all agree? You could compare individuals and their decision making prowess to being an advocate, politician or lobbyist? I mean, most people would not consciously make an incorrect or harmful decision against themselves? At least not if they could control it? Well, here is a question? Do you believe in fate? Do you believe in destiny? Or, are the aforementioned words and ideals, just hogwash? Are life outcomes in our hands? Who should we trust, or go to for decision making? Internal? External? Combination? At the moment, am personally hopeful, yet a tad uncertain about what the proper and most advantageous choices out to be? A friend recently advised, that it's better to be proactive and DO SOMETHING, rather than simply contemplate and wonder? What do you think? Well, I'm not sure, hopefully things will turn out for the greater ...
