OPEN MINDFUL

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...

What is your opinion on DRUGS? Both legal and illegal. Are you a straight shooter whom dis approves of them in their entirety? Or are you a bit OPEN MINDFUL to recreational drugs for seldom fleeting occasions and recreational social use. I mean if you think about America's legal vices, there are plenty of things worse than drugs. For example lets look at tobacco cigarettes , currently a legal over the counter product PROVEN to cause lung cancer, yellowing of teeth, throat cancer and a plethora of diseases, oh yea and their addictive too. Alcohol is not much better as it deteriorates your liver, is a diuretic and just gives you a date with the nearest bathroom stall. It's an average buzz, don't you think? What are your thoughts on marijuana ? Although personally, I am not a fan at all , am OPEN MINDFUL to other humans choices, likes, and enjoyments. I believe it is currently LEGAL in multiple states, Colorado, Washington and perhaps will be legal and TAXED in all ...

It is possible that each individual person has a different version of what defines GREAT for them. For example, as a single younger adult man, great to me is complete health, plenty of money and attention/love from girls and women . Do agree with this? In another example, while at a cocktail session with older humans, they talked about how some people, really enjoy the peacefulness, quiet, calm and nothingness to do that comes with country life . Again, they described how people honestly enjoy living in the country, hearing no noises, and having no nightlife or entertainment. Is this you? Perhaps, your a "family" person, and your version of great includes your children, spouse and their events. Furthermore kids, sleepovers, soccer games, disney movies, and whatever else family dynamics are. Perhaps your version of great involves, travel . For example a weekend flight, getaway, hotels, new people, culture and surroundings. I think this version of great is cool too. Ov...

The age old mantra of, "Is the glass HALF FULL or HALF empty?" How does your view of the world and outlook on life appear? Do you awake with a positive vibe on the news, finances, relationships, health and such? OR, are you a skeptic, a person who does not trust easily or is naturally pessimistic? Personally in general, I can be characterized as a POSITIVE, OPTIMISTIC SOUL, whom leans towards taking an even-keel approach. Perhaps this "half full" outlook is derived from my summer of selling books door to door in Northeast Arkansas for the Southwestern Company. It was the most challenging, unique, rewarding, helpful, and worst summer of my entire life . It taught me sales skills, and to brush off face to face rejection. No longer does rejection personally injure or hurt me. There are PLENTY of Fish in the sea . Another example of brushing of defeat and staying positive is when you get fired, either by a client, company, significant other, girlfriend, or somethi...
