OPEN MINDFUL

So...let's talk about dating and relationships , one would think after being a teenager, completing college and living in NYC, Manhattan for 5 years, I would have figured this thing out. Does the Dating & Relationship process, change over time? Is Teen, College or Adult dating the most genuine? With our American digital world of instant and changing communication, which is the best method to build and further relationships? Do you prefer your mate actually phone dialed you? Left a voicemail? Do you prefer texting? Facebook chatting and messages? Or should dating and relationships use a combo of them all? Or do you not do dating , and perhaps have found a way to skip it all. Are you an Instant gratification type person, whom then loves and enjoy their solitude. Just like they told us in Kindergarten, "Everyone individually is SPECIAL " I think our teachers were right. Each person, myself included in this world, enjoys different aspects of life. Should your mate, ...

Am I a grateful, proud & honest Amercian, yes! Yet the topic and theme today is to discuss being OPEN MINDFUL to people from FOREIGN COUNTRIES and to living in foreign countries. Would you, or have you ever desired to be a dual citizen or live in a different country? If so which one? I believe we should be open mindful to people & citizenry from other foreign countries. They should live here, we could live there? Why not? Recently, I went on a vacation to the Mexican Carribean. It was stellar! I was surprised to realize and meet so many people from different foreign countries. For example, while staying in Playa Del Carmen, the most popular tourist countries were Isreal, Norway, Argentina, Sweden, and Canada. It was more of a melting pot than the USA! What I continued to learn, is that all humans are fairly similar to their core. They all want to live well, be treated equally, and engage with thoughtful friendly people. This lesson proved beneficial for me in my trip. ...

In so far as people, does PERSONALITY really matter? DO you care at all about a friend, family member or significant other's personality? Yes, No, Maybe So? I was for sure not a psychology major, but am OPEN MINDFUL to giving this a try. In so far as personality modes, is one more preferential or desirable than any other? For example; The Carefree easy going funny type? The serious, drama, cool person mode? The negative anti-hero persona? The sunny, positive, opportunistic positive face? With whom do you enjoy spending time with, in so far as personality types? With whom do enjoy life around more? Is their a BEST personality type? Overall, as a single male, looks and attractiveness always overide personality, but I would rank it a very strong #2. I mean, when is the last time you were physically at Bookpeople, or in line at the Grocery store, and saw a women's magazine highlighting PERSONALITY. They ought to create one! This seems to be a shame, because, girls a...

What does the word BEAUTY and aura mean to you? Is there a way to define it? Does observance and ratings of BEAUTY differ from one person to the next? Probably so. As OPEN MINDFUL individuals we ought to embrace a constant shift to changes in beauty. Is BEAUTY defined by age? For example in women from 18 to 35? For example in Men, is there a ceiling or window in which a man is to be deemed attractive, handsome and good looking? Is their a Cap for men? Also in so far as diversity, how OPEN MINDFUL are we to diverse ethnicity, shapes, sizes, figures, skin tones, face structures, body types and more? Have you mistakenly narrowed your view on BEAUTY to a certain type? For example a girl recently told me, she was only interested in physically short statured, darker looking men. What does the whole wide word of BEAUTY mean to you? Hey it's a FREE COUNTRY , as this creation is a proud point to prove. You can like, Choose and GO FOR WHAT DESIRE! Isn't that in itself,...

How hard should people have to work and try for things in life? How much effort is deemed satisfactory for "hard work?" Should things come naturally? In one's personal life, how hard should you have to TRY to win the girl, date or relationship? Should profesional business come to you or be sought out? Do you ever get sick of trying ? Well in my personal opinion, sometimes yes, I do get tired of trying. I wish things in life just came to me more easily , for example personal business, fun, friends, relationships, and more.

IS there ever fault or blame in honest trying. In my humble opinion, it is better to continue to make honest ...

What exactly is the proper amount of balance in life between work, play, relationships, travel, family, fun, and all. Should there be defined boundaries between all of this? Does it depend in which element or flavor of life you enjoy the most? We can all agree that without work, funds, income and money the rest of life is not even possible. Work which leads to money, it is the fuel for fun and life. Are you a funaholic? Are you a workaholic? Are you an obsessive in a different realm? Is there a book you might be able to suggest to me on the subject for the "Balance of Life" Personally, my goal is to find a oneness and balance to life. Like a large pie, each element is a portion of the whole, and they each require varying levels of attention. What is the answer? Let's remain OPEN MINDFUL to the Balance of Life.

As a liberal arts history major, and an alive human entering my 3rd decade of breathable life, am curious as to what your favorite ERAs' are or were? Personally, although I was born in the 1980's feel very little connection to this decade. My memories are as common as yours. For me, I recall the "Say No to Drugs" Campaign, the Techno-like synthesizer music of Madonna and Depeche Mode, and also the classic NBA rivalry between Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics versus Magic Johnson of the Los Angelos Lakers. Moving forward, the more formative years and teenage sculpting years for myself, were the 1990's. This was the grunge rock music era, The Reebock Pump sneakers, President Bill Clinton, and a thriving United States economy. For me personally this was also the school education years. I recall how uneasy middle school adolescence was. The meanness of classmates and general utter lack of confidence amid-st the changing bodies. Did you feel this way too? Fortunatel...
