Inauthentic Genuine Connection

 The "Genuine Connection" Trap We have been forcefully conditioned to believe that the 1st impression is our last.  I am here to tell you this is a lie. First impressions are meant to be a quick moment of mannered human decency between two beings; it is the bare minimum in regard to our moral responsibility with one another.  Yet it is no different than calling someone you just met your best friend, when in fact, you know nothing about them.      As similar as the lie of job security. On the forefront, you meet all qualifications they approve, only to be fired without due notice, as afterthought. It is a false pre-set that weakens our guard requesting others to slowly feed their true desires under the table. Indeed, it is a different story for a different time.  So, before I get ahead of myself, let us step into the common traps to look out for, and dive into what it takes to protect ourselves in a world plastered with pre-determined objectives an...

Build Trust In Yourself

Trust Is Within You... There is immense value to be confident in your decisions. Accepting the outcome is far greater than never making a decision at all.  Perfection is feeble. It is not in our nature to avoid mistakes, they will happen.  This is where confidence begins. Why? You can count on yourself to learn and reform your plan of action. This takes time, practice, and humility.    I am not encouraging thoughtless choices. I'm talking about decisions with the risk of the unknown. Paths that create the gut-wrenching anxiousness we can't fully prepare for.  I found my way in life by trusting that I'll always do my best to make the most out of the decisions I created. Today, I will be encouraging you, describing why you must bravely reside in your own.  Founding Balance To begin to understand how you build integrity for yourself, you must start small.  One begins by deciding for themselves what they do not like, find unacceptable, or will never compro...

Be Direct With Trauma: Hold Your Truth Among Denial & Neglect

  Acknowledgement Of Reality Pain arrives in multiple forms. The most common lies within the trauma of family dynamics. Whether unintentional or intentional, the after effect is the same, damaging, resentful, and unhealing.  When faced by these truths, one must not brush them under the rug to "forget", we must discover reason, standing true to the reality on the impacts they bring.  This is possible through non-influence, not to be gullibly convinced by others as normal, everyday behavior, or passive excuses to be "just as they are".  In this article, I will provide my concise perspective for the generic reaction to unethical behavior, diving further into my key lessons from facing these challenges, in order to spark the production of accountability, groundedness, and trust within yourself.  The "Understanding" Loophole Upon watching the film Powder, a remark was made that stuck with me. In the film, the schoolteacher Dr. Ripley (Jeff Goldblum) said "...

True Intentions

True Intentions  This track is a melodic promise.  It focuses on the harsh truth that sometimes we make grave mistakes that are not true to intention.  It is ownership of one's choices, engraving the proper volition of love, never risking the connection between you and someone you care for. _______________________________________________________________ A chant for forgiveness, understanding, and rebuilding trust. A melodic letter of love, reaching out to heal the wound that threatened conjoined eternal peace.  The apology of an honest soul, needing to make known their truth behind their words, action, and existence.  Sometimes, we get so caught up in the wrongs of each other, we forget to highlight the right. To remind ourselves of the beauty that made us fall head over heels, the beginning, which ignites the fire of burning desires.  We must be honest about how we play our part throughout conflicts within the most intimate of connections. Open about provo...

The Flux of Beauty: Subjective (Part 2)

The Mirror of Truth II To be continued... Subjective Physical Beauty comes in many forms. Yet not everyone sees, or wants to acknowledge, the beauty another can observe.  Truth is, not everyone is supposed to. That is the factor of subjective beauty, since it is based on personal feelings and external influences.  So, I question what its meaning must be to us as individuals? How are we meant to view our own beauty?  My understanding is that everyone is beautiful or unattractive to someone or something at any given point in time.  In that same context, it shows that the only opinion you have of yourself is the solid basis of your beauty at the end of the day.  Meaning, how you think of yourself is either "confirmed" or "rejected" by biased opinions. That is why it is important to remember  that changing  opinions and feelings are not concrete facts.  Evidence that we control the reality of ourselves through thoughts and actions we create within exi...

The Flux of Beauty: Objective (Part 1)

The Mirror of Truth Beauty is to be objective and subjective. Why do I say this? I'm glad you asked. Though beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, it is also based on tangible facts. These facts reveal:  The true character of a person's moral distinction. What the "beholder" truly values. Exposes those who attempt to disrespect the beauty of others, in turn, themselves in kind.  In this article, I'll explain my reasons, including my understanding, in the belief that beauty is more than what we see on the outside.  In addition, to help push a thought-provoking development in your view on the value of beauty overall.  Objective While beauty is associated in society as a public physical affirmation, it is also observed as tangible facts. How so?  Well, you already know. I'm just here to highlight them.  These tangible facts are through characteristic traits that showcase the deeper sum of a person's existence on earth.  Meaning, that beauty may lie in ...

Accountability

Interpersonal Behavioral Check In short, it is acknowledging one's behavior/action that was made, then accepting the consequences or conditions that follow.  There is no avoidance or defensiveness. You own the outcome, willing to take the steps to rectify if/when necessary.  Why Is It Important?  Taking efforts to practice towards building openness in listening, including feedback, allows us to develop our understanding that our actions have consequences and/or a reflection of personal growth.  In other words, how they play in the field of cause and effect.  Self-awareness intuitively develops, reminding us that we are not perfect, always right, and make mistakes.  We have a generalized internal compass that knows that certain behaviors may have a positive or negative result.  We must accept these consequences by not minimizing the impacts they bring. The practice is necessary to reflect on one's choices, that pushes for internal development, and build...
