Why Earning Trust can be Misleading (Follow-up to "Why Do You Trust?)

My Peoples, Hello...

What a topic to tackle. So I'll get straight to some of the thoughts I have on Trust. All week long I had very meaningful conversations with many of you around the world. One common phrase was continually spoken and those words reads as follow: "you know people have to "earn" your trust."

"Earn it, ay?"

Why?

I mean. I really can't stand nicely crafted common sayings. and just like "dating", I'm really struggling with the idea of having to ever earn anyone's trust again. 

Can I please take a moment to say and confirm something - "Just because someone won't trust you, does not mean you are untrustworthy." You tell them the Valet said that. Glad that's covered right! (not a question)

Now. Why is earning trust misleading? 

I hope that I can simplify it so that I don't ramble. I've spent all week rambling. 

Trust is not a tangible object, nor is love, or kindness. Therefore they are not earned, they are something that a person possesses that they willingly give. Now I'm not a preacher, but you can say "amen" if you want to, lol.

We all understand what it is to "earn" a paycheck. We work, they exchange that value in money. If you "earn" a promotion(at work), you are performing above and beyond, or completing more task and maintaining more responsibility. When you earn points on a card, it is because you are already making purchases. 

Earning trust is like working for six months, with no pay, and the job deciding after it all, whether or not you did a good enough job, based on a rubric you did not know. A lot of you may be thinking about an internship you once worked. They idea is that people want you to value what they give you. But why only when it's based in their own selfish comforts. What do I mean?

Should I work for something that you will not give me, based on no particular rubric, for an amount of time that cannot be determined, just for you to eventually give it to me anyway; or not. The idea is nonsense. But this is the cycle that takes place, and frankly, it is wasteful. You don't trust me now. That's OK. If one one day you do, fantastic. And if you don't, that is always your choice. 

But know this. Whether you give it or not, if you do, it's not yours anymore. So let's get real. If trust could be earned, then it would be too easy, I would know how to earn it, I would get it, do what I wanted with it and then my mission would be done. Sound familiar. I mean no offense to my ladies who were once young or are now. But I compare earning trust to a young man who purposely woo's a young lady and plays the role to get the trust so he can get the sex without the ring, without the tie, without the bind, without the commitment. And after he's earned that trust. PROBLEMS. We might all agree that kids don't need to give that kind of trust to each other, but they do, and they are. 

Now, I don't want to distract you so let me wrap this up. I hope you respond and help me think through this more. I'm not by far pessimistic or a downer. I'm just trying to exercise thoroughness in my thinking and reasoning because I argue to learn. So.

Trust is yours. You give it to whom you choose for reasons that belong to you. That trust cannot be regulated. Sometimes, it takes time, for you to build your own confidence the character of another, but don't mistake that for an "in-between trust ". That's not real. Either you do not trust, or you do. It's OK. If you don't trust and are taking time to evaluate a person cool. My advice to myself is not to assume that anyone trust me or has to. It's simple. But as far as my character or me being trustworthy and integral or capable.... not up to you. 

It's just like my job. I Valet. It's my JOB. People don't trust me. But leave their car with me anyway. It's my job, lol.

Dating with a Hint of Singleness or Dating without being able to Define The Realationship (Friday Follow-Up)

Happy Friday Follow-Up my Friend,

Monday I talked about dating for a few minutes. I've spent the last few days talking with as many people as possible about dating and views on relationships. Also I've done a bit of research online. It's 2016, weed out the extreme cases and you find patterns and threads. The information is pretty exhaustive so I'm going to do my best to shorten that. If you're ready for me to start this conversation then read on. If you are not ready to hear it, especially from Me, well read on anyway because I love you.

I'll write a book on this one day and it'll be so fun.

Now, on to Dating!... in short.

Let's define dating for everyone right now. This is not "your views" on dating, your parents/your friends/ your culture/ nothing. I'm going to use the dictionary, the universal shut-up to all of us right? I don't know why I wrote that. Here is Merriam-Websters definition that I'm using: 

date -"a person with whom one has a usually romantic date" or 

dating - "to go on usually romantic dates" as in plural to the single date.

or 

date - "an arrangement to meet between two people usually with romantic feeling for each other" or dating -  "to go together regularly on romantic social engagements"

There! After almost 10 years of not acknowledging dating as a real thing, I just did it. I just want to thank my mom(lol), all my family and friends(lol), my supporters, my haters(lol) , and anyone who ever (lol) doubted me (lol) or said I couldn't do it. This ones for you. (*applauds everywhere)

So for all of you out there who think You can tell Me what You Think "dating is for you" is, or anyone else for that matter, just know that I'm going to hit you with this definition before I run it and apply it. Cause I'm a beast at this OK. Get at me bro! hahahaha(you know who you are). 

There's always been a definition. So what the heck is going on in the world. Somebody's been telling us lies I think. Oh, no?Well let's find out then. Im gonna need your input then, OK? Don't wait too long.

So I am not against relationships. I love them and we need them. So to be clear, relationships CAN be defined, and are in fact defined. They are characterized by their state of being, i.e.: we are family, we are friends, we are engaged etc etc... These are the state of relationships... BUT DATING!

Aww man. That's a state of doing...  two people are not "the date", the date, is what two people DO.

And this becomes my problem. 

Do you think that your relationship (civil union, engagement, marriage) will be birthed out of and solidified based on simply doing things together. Notice I did not say living life together. You don't date your friends or family, yet you do things with them. 

Based on the definition of dating it is clear that the motive is not actually establishing a relationship. But participating (usually) in romantic engagements. 

There is nothing that actually suggest making any long term commitment, establishing exclusivity, seeking marriage, (my very best) getting to know someone, or building trust. There is so much I can say, but i hope you understand this. There is no binding, no ownership, no possession and no hidden motive in dating. Let's do something! That's all right? other than the romance part. The romance based on fiction stories from the middle-ages. Rephrase: Let's have some ideal love affair, adventure, or be my hero for a moment please, can we do that? And usual the results are: "yes" lets date and often more than not "no, we're not dating anymore." or "we're dating, but I don't know if we're friends or lovers, because we're definitely not engaged or married."  

And there is so much confusion in not actually having a relationship with someone you may be doing so much with. Thus some become friends who become sexual, or strangers. Maybe lovers who can't seem to become friends. Maybe strangers who can't seem to become either, but just like what they do together. But a relationship? I still can't call it.

You can't only be single when you're not dating, or engaged or involved. You are quite literally "Single" until your married or in a civil union. The LGBT community understand this, and this is why they fight for "Marriage Equality"... So what makes anyone think otherwise? And don't get me started on "us Christians". Maybe in a separate post.

There is no: more than a friend less than a spouse but something like a lover relationship. And i know your brain is probably screaming, "WELL WHAT THEN?"

...Biz Markie yall! aha.

of course that's for Monday's post. Stay Tune. Engage. 

oh yea, some links to help you start you dating research... let me know have fun.

Tomorrow's post... staytuned

The Intangible Romance... (follow up Monday #31 8/1/16 post)

World! Hello...

I love you all, for real, thank you for reading, watching and listening. It's been a great year so far and will continue. So, thank You! Now, to this Romantic Relationship mind twist.

I'll try to be quick. I don't think there are enough arguments, detail and history to want to anyway.
Here in the year of 2016, at the tinder <<< (ha, tinder) which I'll never use)... age of 29, I realized that I've been fooled once again. Not but any particular person but rather culture and idealism. I'm specifically talking about the Romantic Relationship... Are you ready? You ,don't have to agree, I'm just asking for a few minutes to tell why. Yes, it's subjective and relative but maybe you'll feel the same. What it's become we don't argue. Times change culture. But what "is" it? Because if I knew what "it" was, then maybe I could master "it"... I mean shoooooot, I want a Wife and I want some kids, and you know what that means lol... sorry, that was supposed to be Romantic.

Google Romance or Romantic for a basic premise.
I like Merriam Webster... it's old, I grew up with it, I'll keep using it. (disclaimer)

Romance is based out of a story and time of stories. Adventure, Heroism, Idealism... somewhere I read identified between the 14-17 centuries. 300yrs. I know right. keep going.

It was chivalric. You know, knights, honor, loyalty, manners and stuff like that. Think about it; middle ages/wars/plagues/wars/ravaging/wars/religious decline/wars... etc. etc.

So, yea, the idea of Romance and an Ideal love affair and adventure and a hero and something, anything, please tell me a story of a life better than this...

And in a personal way The Idea was that whether it worked out or not, it was Romantic.

So in turn, Romance gave people a new perspective, that if they could idealize their situation in some way they at least had Romance. What a relief right!

We understand the power of Words and Ideas.

Now this is just foundation talk. Unfortunately, romance is not a real thing, not a fact, and not a foundation. But an Idea of a story applied to a story, our story. and we like it, even if it's "not based in fact".....

This is the part where I just lifted my head from my hands, knowing I might lose some readers and followers. 

Your "Romantic Relationship" is fake or not an actual thing. It does not exist. You may view some things as romantic, you may try to appear romantic, you may aspire and long to be romantic or romanced but  "to have", "to be", a romantic relationship. I'm not sure. I would've said maybe if your married, but with all these divorces and dying romances. I guess there's a better way to be married. shh, that's for future post.

Maybe, just maybe, you(used generically as "we all" if applicable) had sex, a moment, a day, a happening or some time and thought the situation romance or romantic.

Sorry, but when it comes to labeling of things that Are: i.e. we are family, we are friends, we are married, we are acquainted... but we are romantic is not a state of being. Just like, "we are dating" isn't... That my friend is a state of doing... but that's for next Monday...

Some of yall might not like me no more. I accept that. It's OK.

I didn't write to kill your romantic hopes. But rather say, Don't get it twisted, it's done enough damage to some of us. Because romance is ideal, as in, something we can regard, imagine, and personally apply to the "it" rather than seeing romance as the "it", then hold that. It's OK, to let romance present itself. But don't expect it to stay, be a solution or even a foundation.

I personally think that Romance is best suited for the married. What better to learn of someone's Ideal love affair(validity) and then apply it and then re-apply it over a shared lifetime. Anything else remains as a mere memory and passing moment in some sad yet temporarily gratifying blink... Maybe that's what got me all messed up in the first place. The cultural and ideal misplacing and mismanaging presentation of The Most Intangible Romance.

What do you think?

At least I didn't talk about "falling in love" right?... lol

Living to be Known: Fundamental Differences - Fourword Monday's #29

Once we acknowledge that we have fundamental differences... Then we can move Fourwords. Blog: generationofeagles.blogspot.com website: livingtobeknown.com soundcloud: soundcloud.com/valetdelroy

How Are Your Relationships? Look Deeper (Follow-Up Post)

When I ask: How are your relationships; who or what do you think of?

Is it your family, friends or romantic partners?

Is it co-workers, clients, supporters or strangers(fans/followers)?

It it your pet(s)?

Your Technology?

Your Books?

Fear/Anxiety/Excitement/Thrill?

Or do you join the millions of people around the world who might secretly feel and softly say, "what relationships? I'm alone out here." 

Well I have the GREATEST NEWS! 

You!

You're just like me. Or is it that I'm just like you? 

"Ha! What do you know about me?"... did I just read your mind? 

Nope!  

So since we have that out of the way, I have so much to say. But I'll try to keep it short.

First, I Love You. and Thank You for reading...

Okay, google search relationship and you'll find: "the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected." (google, lol)

So listen, whether you believe it or not, your relationships have had more impact on your life than anything else in this world. From the moment you were birthed and breathed that good ole Oxygen, the people, community, region and your place in this world of relations have influenced, shaped and helped you, yes you to become you. Whether you like it or not.

Now that we have the generic out of the way. Let's go deeper.

Let's talk about Living to be Known.

BELIEF: What is the basis of your relationships and what do they/it mean to you?
i.e. - My family is most important/ I can't live without my phone/ I don't trust men etc. etc.

What you believe about someone or something comes from experience and is personally catered by you for your benefit according to your logic. Might be true, might not be, but you believe it. And with that you place them/it in a relational category. The things you like, dislike, and ignore all bear their weight and have their affects. I know I don't always see them, sometimes I don't want to, sometimes I over-think it.

KNOWLEDGE: How much do you know them/it and how well do they/it know you? How much time has been invested?
i.e. - I talk to _ everyday/I know my friend like i know myself/I don't like to talk about my personal life etc. etc.

Why are some relationships closer than others? Do know or at least feel like you know the people closer to you better than others? Or maybe that's the reason some relationships are strained. We know and have experienced too much or enough that once it informs our belief, or lack of, we cannot take back what we know.
"People only trust two things: What they know and what they don't know." - Valet

PRACTICE: What does any given relationship do for you? How do they make you feel? What do you do for them?
i.e. - They're honest/ I feel secure around them or it/ they're funny/ They're not dependable/ They Gossip etc. etc.

We like to be around people we share similarities with. The myth that opposites attract more so has to do with what you have in common rather than what you don't. The Value that you believe or know someone brings, or doesn't, and how you see them/it will directly affect your actions around or towards them. For many perception is reality, but what is done cannot be undone, only understood.

RELATIONSHIP: Where/what is your place in my life? what/where is my place in your life?
i.e. - He's more than a friend, he's my brother/ She's like my second mom/ I just say "hi" in passing/ we play sport once a week etc. etc.

The World is becoming a more diverse place everyday. From the beloved royal to the orphaned beggar we've all been given a label and a place. Yet and still we chose. We have given labels to each other according to who we are or have become to one another. Learning to manage our relationships is one of the most important things we can do. Who we spend our time with and the influence that comes with it should be as important to us as our own lives. Your bartender, coach, parent, friend, bus drives and food server all are someone to us.

COMMUNICATION: How you speak, how you act, when you do it, how you do it, how well we listen. These things all mean something to someone else. This is probably the hardest for people.
i.e. - I don't like they're tone/ I feel uncomfortable around ?/ You talk too fast/ why won't you look me in the eye etc. etc.

Communication is two sided. One must send and the other receive. Even if the messages aren't clear. We learn to communicate from what we see, hear and other surrounding factors. We sometimes pick -up habits, phrases, and accents without recognizing it. How we express joy, anger, frustration, attraction, and how we deal with different issues in life are all connected to our relationships and how we communicate in them.

FINANCE: How do you spend? How do you save? Do you invest? Who have you learned from? Does your money work for you or do you work for it?
i.e. - Poor people always.../ Rich people are like.../ You don't look like you have money etc. etc.
How much money you have, what you do with it, credit, assets, risk, debt, earnings, expenses, wages, taxes etc. etc.

Why don't we often see the wealthy visiting areas of those in poverty? Why do those with different opportunity and resources act, speak and understand the things of life differently? It's because finances make a difference. Understanding money and how it works in the world we live in is important. What decisions do good money managers make versus bad money managers? Why is it important to know what 1 million is worth? Why is it important to understand monetary value, what it does to the brain and the affects that it can have on you and those around you? Why isn't the neighborhood park clean? Why are there no grocery stores where you live?

Essentially, Relationships are important. And you have relationships with things and people you probably have not recognized you do. The truth is that if it is connected to you or you to it, that it's a relationship.

I just want you to love them. Value them. See them be all that you hope and help you along the way as you help me. We're in this together. I love yall.

Living to be Known: Are You Living to be Known #18 (follow up blog)

Hello World,

You are amazing, you are great, you are going to make it, life is a blessing, you never will know what will come of your struggles until the end of them. I just want to encourage you to have a great day. 

We are 18 weeks into the year. That time means nothing to this post. Today's post is a steady reminder that we should examine ourselves daily. Just as much as I ask others, I ask myself: How are you/am I living to be known? 

This is just too important to not ask. Knowing your own story, assessing your struggles and victories, managing relationships and time, habits, knowledge and all that you can. 

To truly live we need to be engaged in the world around us, no matter how small or big. Just as we watch other, others watch us. 

So be confident for yourself and others. We examine others and move according to how we know them. They do the same towards us. 

So, determine to be the best. Determine to believe, known, and do to the greatest of your ability. Be known for never faltering. Love more, and be known for it. 

I love yall. 

Go make it happen!

Living to be Known: Knowing the Way to What You Want (follow-up blog post)

Hello World, Shout Out to YOU!

Thank You for the small amount of time and space. I see you all and I love yall. I mean it.

So this past Monday, I talked about knowing the way to what you want. Before now it's been a self soothing first quarter of the year. Mostly because everything I've talked about has been very thought full. Thinking about what we believe, how we see and understand ourselves and each other. Thinking about what we want, reality and perception, assumptions and what we know versus what we think. Yep, it's been full of thoughts. But when I think about the way, to attain, the things I want, I start hesitating. Does anyone relate? I'll try to explain.

The simple things  of life I feel I've got covered. When I want to eat, I feed myself. When I want to feel fresh, I wash. When I want to watch a movie, I go. And when I want to go to sleep, everything fights against it, haha lol. Such is life, right? Those wants are covered.

What about that job I've always wanted though? What if I want more passion for something in life? What if I want to own a business? Travel? Publish? Act?

What if I just want to maintain? Survive? Love? Learn? Teach?
What if I want meaning? or peace? or more laughs?
What if I want a jetski or a small boat darnit! <<(rated pg)

Or...
Or...
A bunch of kids and a crazy life with a wife that won't tell me what to do, but will cook, because I don't tell her what to do and... well you get it.

In my video I said that Kids have it the best when it comes to knowing what they want, because they don't know as much and they can make it up. If a kid wants to be a dinosaur, RAAWWR!!!. That's it, it's been done. I like that about kids. But, if an adult wants to be a dinosaur, like for real, then it isn't the same. I'm sure you understand.

I don't want to be happy. It's not a goal of mine. Happy is not a noun, it's a result. I just made that up, but I'm willing to run on it. I don't want superhero strength, to be any taller, nor do I want to fall in love. These cannot be attained through my own efforts. So they are not included in my conversation.

So what then? Right?
You, want to know, the way, to what you want. And so do I.

What's this all have to do with Living to be Known? Everything! Which one of us want to be known for not knowing the way to what we want? You don't have to comment, stand up or raise your hand.

I'll start at belief.

A reason you might want to know the way, is because you believe that thing is attainable. You know that because you may have seen it done before. If you have not, you might believe it can be done, and now you need to just find a way. Belief can do you good here. We all believe some things, about some things. If you believe there's a way, as far as it has to do with you, then go. If you believe there's a way, that's all you need to find out.

Now, we only know as much as we know. Which obviously isn't enough. And that's nothing to fret about. Knowledge is necessary. Say that a few times. Humans have lived on the earth for thousands of years. And although we don't always get it right, we're still living. So I bet if the thing you want has been done before, that you can find out who did it, how, and maybe even why. Remember what school guidance counselors are for? To help tell, show and lead you in the direction of things you do not know, exploring and making options clear to us, so that we can succeed. I never went to my counselors, but there is a benefit right. Even then there's probably a book on it, google it, youtube it, ask someone. The whole point is that belief and knowledge go together. There is a way, our job is to find it and do it.

So how are things? We all practice some stuff. Sometimes the things we practice may be in the way of what we want. Can't be healthy with bad health practices. You want a job? Have you been practicing filling out applications? Getting places on time? have a good attitude? Are you doing that repeatedly. Practice doesn't make perfect, it makes better.

The relationships you build and have with people are key. Don't overlook how instrumental mentors are. Don't be afraid to ask for help or even be denied help. Keep people around you that encourage you and cheer you on, that challenge and cultivate a healthy friendship, family or business relationships. You'll find that along the way you'll meet some who have gone your direction and others who have not. As you get older, your role in how you help another becomes key too.

Please let what you need be known. If you don't communicate how will anyone know. Your are not invisible. In the same way that we write books, make songs, record on video, call, text and whatever to communicate to the next person, you must find a way also.

Listen, there's no quick way to a million. But there are plenty of ways to get there. I'm working on finding some ways myself. Don't be fooled, keys to money are no secret. But there is a big misconception that when it comes to wanting money. We all understand that we need money. We, even if not admitted, probably all would like more money. But I've witnessed that although money may change ones standard of living, it actually is not a major factor to the quality of life one experiences. Just a thought.

What do you think? I can't tell you a universal way to what you want other than to get after it. We all have to go through it. That's why I cannot tell you how to "get" what you want. I don't know that. I just know that there may be a way. Now, if that sounds boring then I'm sorry. At least you can't say you don't have anything to do in life. haha. I love yall.

New audio track coming monday along with another Living to be Known video.. Im excited. Song is called "don't do it". hip-hop yall. gotta do it. AHA!

Living to be Known: Knowing the Way to What You Want - 4WORDS Monday #16

Knowing what we want is one thing. Knowing the way to what we want is just as important. #livingtobeknown #4WORDSMonday

Living to be Known: Reality and Perception (follow-up blog)

Hello again all you lovely people in the World.

This past Monday I talked about perception and reality. Now, I have heard people say, "perception is reality." I do not agree.

Perception "OF" reality and the "reality" may be taking place at the same time but the two cannot be the same thing. I keep thinking this, stewing over it, rejecting it, picking it back up, throwing it and stomping on it... because that's what I believe. And I don't mind being wrong if tomorrow or some other day some lovely person out there in the world corrects me. That would take some convincing but I'd take it.

So perception: A judgment resulting from awareness or understanding.

I like that definition so I'm going to use it.
Everyday we make judgments about things and people that are based in the moment of our encounters. For example: cars that speed in traffic. The one who is speeding may perceive that there is empty space that no one else is taking advantage of, and that they'll use it to get to where they need to go faster. While the other drivers perceive an impatient and risky driver who needs to relax, because they are in traffic.

In that moment each witness is making a judgment based on or resulting from there awareness of the situation and/or their understanding of it. I hope that is a simple picture. And I would guess that everyday we do that from one side or the other hundreds of times. "We", being the one who perceive, are all perceiving the "Same" reality. That being the moment and very thing that is taking place.

So about Reality: Something that is neither derivative nor dependent but exist necessarily. Or the short definition: What actually is.

Reality, my friends, cannot be tainted. Because it just is.
The same way we know ourselves "we are" or "we exist" at its basic level, we also see that reality "is". I know my grammer(lol) ain't proper please cut me some slack. Or don't. Because the reality is that I'm still gone write this the way I want, no matter how you perceive it. But I should also say that I desire to present this reality in a way that when you perceive it, you won't have to question it, and that what I present is the closest thing to the same as it can be.

And this is the importance of things as I'm thinking through this right now.

Each one of us and what we do is a reality. Present and past. The reason doesn't necessarily have to matter. The questions about the reality don't always lead to clear answers. We perceive ourselves wrong just as much as we do others. The perception is not the reality although reality is being perceived.


Belief: Believing in a lie doesn't make that lie true. Even if you say "it was true for me in that moment.".... Actually, it was a lie, in reality you believed a lie that was not true, that is the truth.

In the same way we may believe some things we perceived as true. The reality may be different.

Knowledge: Knowing the difference between the two is crucial. When people don't know you and perceive you as what you're not, what do you do? You try to correct it so that they "know" who you are right?

In the same way, we should want to know the reality of a person or thing. Not just how we perceive it. You might not always be wrong or right, but at the least you'll know.

Practice: What you do is reality. And people perceive that. So in everything that you do, be mindful of it. Remember that every one's practice or habits are reasonable in their own mind. Yet, how it is perceived by another is not always so.

Relationships: How do you perceive the relationship you have with a parent, a friend, a teacher,  a boss, an object or anything for that matter. A lot of broken relationships come from misunderstanding and false perceptions of the reality. Please my peoples, manage your relationships well.

Among many friends and family lie the perception that things are fine, and in the reality things are not. And we don't always see it clearly, we don't always get the truth. But we should care enough to be sure right.

Communication: We don't always grasp what another person is expressing fully. We don't ask enough questions, we give to much information in answers, we lie, we twist, we ignore, and we smother. We communicate all the time. Not always in the right way, not always in the right time. But we all perceive each other from different places. Don't be afraid to over communicate for the sake of the truth. Appreciate someones effort to communicate. We don't have to yell, but we do have to talk. If nothing else, write it down.

Finance: The poor perceives the rich and the rich perceives the poor and the middle class perceives both and the world perceives them all.

And still they all have similar problems: people die, people lie, people steal, people laugh, people want, people care, people don't, and people will and people wont...... No matter which bracket you fall in. We're all more similar than we think.

Anywho, I know that was long, and my grammar was bad, and it might not have made sense, but that's ok. I'm glad you were able to struggle through this with me. Help me get better. What do you think?

I love Y'all.

Monday is....TOMORROW!!! hahaha wow that's crazy. next topic then....? (Knowing the Way to What You Want)....see you tomorrow i guess.

Living to be Known:Do You Know What You Want? (follow-up blog)

Do you know what you want?

I, want, to be, HAPPY. I do not want to be sad. I want to be wealthy. I do not want to be poor. I want to be loved. I do not want to be lonely. I want to travel. I do not want to feel lost. I want to know more. I want to do more. I want to see more. I want to be more….

Any of these things sound familiar? I hope so

It is common to hear some of these statements when you pay attention to what we are communicating. We all have basic common needs for life right? Is it possible we have common wants? Of course it is! We see life differences, we feel emotions, we read, we listen, we watch, we hear, we imagine, we think, we do and we tell of all the many things in life we have YET to experience. Therefore we want!

I think about a few things:

1. What we have

2. What we need

3. What we want

4. What we don’t

I have and I need and I want and I don’t want…. Now is there more. Yes, but…

The question is: Do you know what you want?

Can I tell you about this question I’ve asked a little more?

The things I want in general, I believe others want in general. So please don’t think that I don’t care if that is what you are thinking. I want to know more. I want you to think a little more in detail. Peeling back layers of “the Want Onion”… hahaha, the want onion. I just made that up. Lol.

Here’s what I mean. Day in and day out I think we express and communicate common themes of what we want. I mean, we only dream of how good things can get here on earth to the point that we are one step from heavenly. But we don’t truly believe that will happen here, on this planet, in our life time…do we? Maybe? But that’s not the focus. I said all that to say that YOU communicate and express daily what you want in and out of this life. You don’t just want to be happy, you want to Everything!

Let’s simplify. I know I can go on tangents. OK.

You don’t just want to travel. You want to travel to a place that has water. Not just a place with water. A beach. Not just any beach, but one with soft sand. Not public but …. You get me? We don’t just want. We want in detail. And that is ok.

There is only so much we can control. And we should want things that we can. Some say these are called plans, goals, dreams and desires. But those are different. I just want you to think about and decide what you want in short; today or this week. Because want rushes in in a moment and sometimes sits, and sometimes, when the want changes, we still hold on. So I’m not speaking to the BIG WANTS in your life but the small wants; the wants that means more to us. If today you want to sing, then sing. And if today you want to cry, then find a little time to cry. And if today you want to laugh, do it. If today you want to travel, write it down and everyday decide what else you want that travel to be like until you know what you want.  

It’s just a simple way to go, remember: (Have, Need, Want, Don’t). Do you just want to be happy? What’s behind that? You want to stop procrastinating, you want to argue less? You want a better job. Assess all that it takes to get what you want, consider the cost and then when you are sure, move forward to accomplish it. It’s better than thinking we want something only find that we do not actually want it.

Living to be Known: Do You Know What You Want? 4WORDS Monday #14

It's easy to say we want to be happy. It's easy to say we don't want to be lonely. But to day after day say seek and strive for what we want; that's Living to be Known. #livingtobeknown #4WORDSMonday #4WORDS #doyouknowwhatyouwant

Living to be Known: About Assumptions (follow up post)

Hey Y'all out there in the World, Thanks for being here. I'm going to get right into the thought train about Assumptions. And how quickly of a death assumptions are... Death of what your asking?

Assumptions are the death of great principles and practices in life.

I am not your mediator in this conversation. I use assumption negatively. Let me begin.

When was the last time assuming worked for you? How did it all pan out?
I will define assume as the root word for you so that you understand the point from which I am speaking. Now, I don't claim to know too much. I don't actually think I'm that smart. But when I focused on the fact that ASSUME meant: to think that something is true or probably true without knowing that it is true. Man, I felt the blow.

Now we've all done it and we all do it. So I'm not here to point any fingers at anyone but myself. And I do hope that you are considering the things you assume to be true and look into whether or not the assumptions we've been making are true. And I haven't even started yet...haha  but you know how that goes right.

Can we be real for a moment please? Can we try to be objective? Can we examine some truth if there's truth to be seen? Yes.

Unfortunately , I do believe that in 2016, with all the tech, and instant digital access to information and tools, that it is easy to form an opinion and send it out to the masses...i.e. memes on facebook or words on twitter...

Now we all have a common theme in the fact that if we grew up around any other people, we had to assume that what we were told was true. As children we are taught, and that is all we know. As we grew older we formed relationships that directly influenced us. We might say we came to like, trust, accept, admire, follow and join some of these people in life where things became common and we knew each other to the point, that based off of what we knew and seen from each other, that we could assume for each other what is or isn't ok or acceptable. But then we get comfortable, and begin to assume that everything will happen as we think. Because we think we know better. But based on the definition we don't know at all.

This is why assumptions are such a quick death. We sometimes make strategic conscious decisions based on assumptions, and then panic when the outcome is different. Then delving into an instinct of self preservation that takes no time to humbly admit fault or be corrected until the damage is already done. And it happens in an instant.

Almost immediately one then has to try and navigate through the pile of crap that was just planted between them even though "it's too late to go back and change the story or meaning now." Then the apologies start. And unless we are willing to lovingly forgive and talk out and move forward, it becomes a splinter in the middle finger of a piano jazz player.

And all this for What? Because one person was too afraid to ask, take a moment to consider, listen to, research or just plain wait; until they knew something true, before acting on something they DID NOT know was true.

You see, we're all more alike than we like to think. But of course I may just be assuming that.


So what now? I'll be quick.

Living to be Known as the topic. How are you Living to be Known? As someone who's always making and living based on assumptions? Or or someone who does not need to!


The Belief that assumptions are not true and Knowledge that there is a better way to find out that truth. Practice asking questions that lead to the truth so that they can foster the best relationships. Relationships that Communicate what is true in a healthy way. As for finances though, don't assume you know the character of a man based on what he has rather than who he is.

I LOVE YOU GUYS OUT THERE. HOLLA BACK.  its ya boy

We Are Going to Honduras!

Hey Everyone, Me and Jamie are going to Honduras. We still need some support. So here is the support Letter. Let me know if you want updates as things come along and after. Thanks Guys. Love Yall. Keep reading...

Honduras Mission

Four years ago I was asked if I wanted to go to Kisumu, Kenya to work along side Christ’s Hope International, who’s mission is, “Bringing the life-changing message of Jesus Christ to people infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS through discipling and care giving, presenting them perfect in Christ Jesus.” We were all so blessed to walk, sit, talk and stand next to each other sharing our stories of life, the love of God and hope for a better tomorrow. I still think about it everyday. I still am in communication with friends there.

Today I am in need. And I am in need of the hardest thing to ask for once again; prayer and financial support.

This time, with your help, I will travel to Honduras, joining Christ Community Church, and serving with Hearts for Honduras. This will be a dental mission. Many will travel from far distances to come a receive care and aid. We will serve local families, their children and neighbors from surrounding areas.

How to Get Involved

• Prayer – This is the most important way to get involved. Please pray for our team. Pray for our safety. Pray that our hearts are in the right place and that we not become easily distracted. Pray for the people we come into contact with. Pray for our patients and for their health.
• Financial Support – If God has blessed you, and you are looking for an opportunity to bless others, please consider contributing financially to the team as we need resources for travel arrangements, food, and shelter. We also purchase supplies with any funds raised. Additionally, we like to bring stickers, footballs, and soccer ball for the kids.
• Instructions for financial support on next page
• Go! – There is never going to be a perfect timing. We all lead busy lives, have difficulties, or other commitments that we must prioritize. But if there is ever a time to question what to do, just act on it and go because you won’t regret it. Put life on hold for a week to love, learn and serve with purpose. Check out the Hearts to Honduras website (www.hth.org)

Thank You, for taking this moment to join me. For those who have supported me in the past, please know that you have been a part of the blessing in live of many, and I hope you would consider supporting me again. If this is a first for you! Thank You for becoming a part of the work because this wouldn’t be possible without you.

Financial Support Instructions

The church's website is at the following link: http://www.aplacetobelong.com/ So, you can use the PayPal system. You will need to indicate "Dental Mission Trip" in the comments section. DO NOT put my name in the comment section. They have actually taken a tax position that is new. In order for the individual to receive a tax deduction, they will need to make sure my name is not included. As these monies come in, the church will flag them and notify me. Then they can be specifically applied to me.

For manual checks, it will be the same. Checks can be made payable to Christ Community Church. You will indicate "Dental Mission Trip" in the memo section. DO NOT put my name in the comment section.

If you have already sent some money to Hearts to Honduras or the Church directly, please let me know. So that I can help them sort who is sending on my behalf. The Missions Trip is June 4th - 11th, and they have asked that all monies be sent by or on March 30th. Total cost around $1400. Thank You all so much. I love you guys.
