OPEN MINDFUL

Lately, I've been noticing and admiring the various different stages of human life. From babies, infants, teenagers, college kids, 20 somethings, young adulthood, parenthood, grown-ups, to grandparents, and those near retirement and peace with god . So the concept and idea today here is, whatever STAGE in life you are at, Rock it! Crush it! Enjoy it! Dominate it! Win! If your a baby, and by some "Doogie Howser M.D" miracle you can read this, be the most awesome baby ever. If your a youth in high school or college. Be the best in that environment! Be the student government president, score touchdowns, and date the head cheerleaders. Embrace your stage in life! The past is gone, and the future can only be controlled to a set degree. Let's be OPEN MINDFUL to accepting your current stage, and then kicking ass in it. Moving along, if your a single 20 something, run with it. For example live and reside in different cities, try new industries and jobs, experiment wit...

OPEN MINDFUL often covers topics and common themes in our world SOCIETY. As a city slicker person, business dealer & night owl, am constantly in contact with humans. In general what characteristics or traits do you rate and rank most prominent? What are the major criteria that you find most attractive? For example in looking for a romantic partner are you most interested in looks, personality, age, height, wealth or figure? As a consumer, whom do you decide to perform your business services? Do you prefer a service provider & business entity be intelligent, attractive, conversational, experienced or a combination of something else?" Plenty of things can be ranked and rated. What else should we rank? How do you rate and rank your nightlife destinations? For example are your nightlife destinations chosen on level of cost, # of attractive patrons, newness, proximity to where you live, live music presence, or amount of total fun possible? How do you decide wher...

It's a new Year! 2014 has arrived. Bring it on and let's go for it. Today's subject is the relevance of being "cool." Yes how important, value-able or non-critical is being hip, cool, edgy, fun and new? For example are you trendy? Do you keep up with pop culture? How important is a cool image to you? Lately & personally I have noticed, that sometimes the most "uncool" people seem to be financially and overall more set and entitled than the adventurous hipster, trendy contingent . For example residents of boring neighborhoods with wives, families, children and average fashion style appear affluent, comfortable and moving forward in life. They seem to be happy, solid and content. On the other-side, the hipster, cool, youthful generation & citizenry is living in far away, unsafe neighborhoods, sporting life altering tattoos, over-spending their money, and although exuberant, appear less well off than the normal, traditional folks. What do yo...

Today's subject and themes will focus on the topics of LOYALTY and CHEATING . For example do you personally consider yourself a loyal person or a Cheater? This Loyalty could translate into many different forms. You could be loyal to brands and companies. For example one might be a loyal pepsi soda pop purchaser, instead of coca-cola or dr. pepper. You could be loyal to a certain doctor, lawyer, mechanic, real estate company or grocery chain. You could be a loyal person to your spouse or significant other in relationships. Another example of loyalty could be cheering or rooting for your alma matter. For example, for me I am a loyal lifetime fan & almunus of Austin High School and the University of Texas. If their team is playing, I'm rooting and hoping for them to emerge victorious. Another example of loyalty would be your choices in technology. Are you loyal to Macintosh/Apple/Iphone or more of the PC, Dell, windows mind? On the flip side, let's discuss the cheati...

Are you a person whom prefers anything BRAND NEW versus OLD? Or are you a person whom likes the old things? Today's subject is the comparison of NEW versus OLD. Who do you think would win in a "bowl game" match up between NEW versus OLD? This topic can be related to anything. For example NEW construction, newer younger people, new clothes, new girl & boyfriends, new places, new movies, new technology, new friends, new resorts, new bars and restaurants, social media, new equipment &new music! Is NEW the best? What is your favorite NEW item? Or does OLD , dominate your lifestyle and choices. For example older historical properties and neighborhoods, older pals, old long term girl and boyfriends, your older favorite sweater or jacket, older classic bars & institutions, old politics, older more comfortable technology, classic established vacation spots, etc... Lets be OPEN MINDFUL with both the NEW and OLD. There is good and quality in both. Personally,...

So, as Americans, sorry China and communist Cuba, this entry does not relate to you. We live in a highly competitive work, play, and economic environment. Do you, the reader find this competitive world energizing & inspiring OR as ill-focused and unnecessary? The phrase, "keeping up with the Jones'" comes to mind. Are you OPEN MINDFUL to the competitive monetary lifestyle & constant improvement or, do you not worry about friends and society, while being content to only judge yourself? Although I have never seen the feature film movie, "Seven" with Brad Pitt & Morgan Freeman, do believe Jealousy was one of the 7 sins. Do you recall what the other sins were? Is this SEVEN film, worth watching? Moving along, personally as a former/current athlete find this American competitive nature inspiring and fine. It's the real world, and its's not going to be easy and just sit in your lap. This fast paced, real world, knowledge, I learned 1st ...

Are you a Routine Person? Do you live and present your image to the world via a formula? Or are you an open minded, almost chameleon like actor whom is willing to try NEW LOOKS? The goal of this post, is to remind people to be OPEN MINDFUL . Today's subject is your own damn image. Yes this entry is about you the reader! The person whom you wake up, sleep with and are always walking around as. Let's be OPEN MINDFUL to NEW LOOKS. For example, high school culture is a decent intro. There were different categories, for example the p reps, skaters, jocks, cheerleaders, slackers, cowboys, nerds, bookworms, smokers, band folks, class clowns, hipsters, thespians, and more. Which one were you? Did that work? Moving FORWARD to 18 and up adult culture, we have similar classes and groups as well. For exmaple, the Suit and Tie Financial professionals, the tattoo t-shirt Creative advertising guys, the Real Estate crew in their showy luxury cars, the modest normal teachers, the alter...
