What are your strong points?

[-Ariel-]

I've been swamped as of late, and it seems the more i read and write, the more confused I'm getting. I mean, like one thing I have to express is that routine if its not in balance just leads to well, deficiency, numbness, and self neglect. -I also just broke up from a short relationship, and I think that's the main thing sparking this slump-.

My professor who I assist, is awesome, and just being around her always picks me up, so she keeps me happy with my work.

She just finished a class today on recognition of our strengths as a way to get peeps more involved in life, and not focus so much on the bad, which leads to well... shit thoughs, shit behavior, and well you can do the math.

Not to be Tony Robbins on Crack, but what are some of your strenghts, things you do well, that maybe you take for granted?

Persistence and a strong work ethic. Both are also my greatest weaknesses. One tends to neglect personal issues when one is persistently working.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

To answer that question we need about 2 hours on the phone to decide which traits are strengths and which are greater strengths. Since each compliment one another and some of the less than strong behavior helps one become stronger. We need to chat again sometime soon.

Or I could have nothing intelligent to say and make some off the wall comment, nah left to lesser peeps.

i have the ability/desire/drive to work like an idiot. . .literally until i fall down sometimes. . .one of the few positive things my father blessed me with. . .it really is a double-edged sword, though. . .

i have an unlimited capacity to love. . .if you are my "friend", you never have to wonder where you're going to turn when the chips are down. . .also a double-edged sword. . .

i'd like to say i'm a "great husband". . .but, i'm not. . .i'm working on it, though. . .everyday. . .i'm a "good" husband. . .but i have a ways to go to get to great. . .

U rawk....
This I already know.
Not gonna divulge though what I think bout ya.
Cheapen it.
Hope the Ferrari is running well.
Yeah, I left my phone in a Department Store, 2 hours a way from Columbia Missouri, but 2mara going to head there and get it.
I would absolutely love to hear from you again, as well as what is going on with your next venture into abundance.
One thing that you remind me of, right off the top of my head is
the saying by this guru, who is also a multimillionaire, but he he says that real knowledge is the essence of Substance, the Spirit of Science, and finally the Guts of Practical Achievement.
Well, the essence of substance is depth, the Spirit of Science, means the 'how to', and the Guts... only leads to understanding, which understanding always requires 'Care'.

BTW, Austin > El Paso.

Still, it ain't Juarez.... LOL

 

[*ebony*]

i'm good with people when we meet in person. i'm not the typical enthusiastic, over the top peoples person. But i have a knack for putting people at ease. i might get nervous beforehand at times when meeting someone, but there is rarely that awkward exchange or silence that sometimes occurs.

 

[-Ariel-]

Persistence and a strong work ethic. Both are also my greatest weaknesses. One tends to neglect personal issues when one is persistently working.

Thing is though, I'll give ya this, most peeps would have crumbled with your obstacles...
I mean you've seen the dark, continue to see it, but you understand it and balance it out.
You remind me of the book by Sun Tzu the Art of War, no need to read it, as you embody it

The Gita is Hindu Sacred Story about duty, I recommend you read the Penguin Version, anyway, the story is awesome, like this warrior finds out he has to kill in war and battle all his old teachers, cousins, friends, and those that he got 'comfortable' with.
I'll leave the rest for you to discover.

Work, and your dedication to what you do, is not a weakness...
It's like your job, once you discover the ratio of a problem, there isn't any problem, just the ratio.

Sides, the newborn gives you life....
Most peeps would choose the easy way out in your story and die...

Either way, How bout that Marquez fight?

Still not immune to the Messican Killa.
LOL

I seriously cant think of any right now.

 

[*ebony*]

does anyone have this problem of staying dedicated to anything too structured, repetitive, and otherwise constant for too long? i know some people who find such a thing a blessing, but it drives me bonkers, thus a weakness cause its hard almost impossible to have whatever it is long term.

sorry Ariel but its easier to think of all your weakness than it is strengths. i can think of a bunch, a whole list of negatives

One thing that you got going on for ya, other than your loyalty, sense of duty, and problem solving skills...
I think you just noticed this as well in this change, is something that most peeps, including myself, find it so hard to do in this time and place...
Change, and accept it. Most of us, even if we are misreable, or too stupid to realize we are misreable, hold on to the past, the past way of thinking, acting, and well... -not- living.

This you are embracing...
I think its also a result of U battlling the tendencies of ME, but alot of work. and correct habits went into that, kinda mirrors the philosophy of your job...
Ratio's...

yeah. . .well. . .that "wisdom" came with age. . .i lingered in my "angry young man" phase for at least as long as most d00ds i'm sure. . .marriage and kids and facing and passing a few life tests along the way (tests that required me to really step back and try and figure out who the hell i was/was going to be), kind of mellowed me i s'pose. . .which in turn began to give me the inner-peace to not fight so hard to keep things the same, when change is inevitable. . .and to begin to accept and work with/live with those things that i can't change. . .i'm still very much a "work in progress", though. . .always will be i s'pose. . .

 

[-Ariel-]

I seriously cant think of any right now.

Perfectionism...
Still got you to where you are gonna be.

Stefka, I mean, cmon, other than you striving for the ideal, wanting this world to be so much more humane, and being hawt, -I mean that in the 3rd wheelage-

Also, you have overcame the very essence of perfectionism that is so pushed by this ridiculous appearance first culture.

Fuck, I'm pawned by it too....
Either way, music, according to Schopenhaur, Ms, Mensa, reflects will, and will is outside time and space, according Schopenhaur, what do I mean by will,
Self discipline, Ambition, Making an Effort.

So many of us, bound by habit, comfort, and living in psychosocial mess.
You are struggling, just like me... but you got the foundation...
Queen of Thebes is a pretender...

True Perfection is just a an interval, it's musical, its balance... and you letting go of that habit of it should've been.

One step... Every day is getting straighter.

God I love that song...LOL

You and Him have game,
Through the uncertainty, possibility -life- is being created.
The smoke will clear soon enough, and is clearing as you continue to take action.

 

[Jon79]

Nothing that has done me any good really

 

[-Ariel-]

Nothing that has done me any good really

One thing you got going Jon is you believe in loyalty, the hardest thing for you to overcome is like this feeling that you are not good...low self worth, the flip side is you have the possibility of accumulating wealth... but in order to do so, you gotta shake that self doubt, and guilt, self hate, -much harder to do than say-

Okay, first you were gifted with looks, you got persuasion, -when you aren't burdened with this feeling that of so much inner disdain, dude,
you already have paid the price...

One thing I think you would be good at is sales or anything that uses the art of persuasion.

You have a ton of potential, and you have paid with consequence, the habit of deprecating yourself and being misreable can be let go of, however, yeah I agree the routinezation of things kinda kills the will.

I can tell you this.... you have a ton of creativity that you have yet to manifest once you shake off the past/habit/self hate...

Trust is something that doesn't come easy and is getting scarce today, one thing I do admire is that you seem like someone a friend can always trust in.

Trust is everything, bro.... its a virtue that must be there and embodied and passed on to those you can influence.

You got potential.
Once you shake off all the said stuff, through process, will, and letting go of the fear of success... through the process of learning to Walk again.... steps...
Well, yeah.

EC, you gotta read memoirs... you got the same qualities to a degree of humanity, sensitivity, and feminne grace that I so find extremely sexy.

Dude, structured is good, repetivive if life, thing is you just gotta be aware of the repetition and as long as the you don't get too comfortable and let it bleed into your emotions... you won't....

Moreover, you got a natural intuitive, inner resilience, and sense of right and wrong, a huge portion of hawties lose this, cause, well they just do.

Change for you is subtle, and it should be.
Read the book when you have time. BikiniMom said the movie was wonderful, so if not watch the movie.
I have not seen it, as the book I thought was magnificent.

I still get misty.

 

[OMEGA]

I have no points

 

[-Ariel-]

I have no points

Pointless is good.
It is beyond good or bad, hell its beyond polarity.
Its beyond beyond... no actually it ain't

However, it's the kinda like to not exist.

However, how can something not exist, wouldn't that notexistence, still be existence.... I mean no such thing right?

absence of existence, still that's something dependent on 'not'.

So, I'm not sure what pointless is.... other than appearance, which appears to well... appear.

Yeah, I'm going with points.
You have a point.

Oh and the Lipo kicks ass.

Good to see ya O.

 

[-Ariel-]

Im task oriented. With a good sense of humor.

One thing that goes over looked is your sense of loyalty, duty, and coooperation.
i also think you building bridges through your occupation...
Is karmically, and in every sense of the Word...
AWESOME.

Another Pick up line that is does me no good.

Sides, you are more of a battle axe dude anyway.

What's the temp in Henderson?

Take Smurf to LLV.

You guys should eat at the downstairs cafe at the Ritz, its not nearly as over priced as you would expect. Hell, its cheaper than eating on the Strip.

I read the The Bhagavad Gita when I was in Asia in the 1990's. I am going to read it again.

Marquez could go down as one of the top 10 all time greats. He needs to fight Hatton, and Manny again. IMO Manny got robbed but a third fight will resolve it (unless the judges are corrupt!)

I thought you had read this classic, however, I just opened it back up a couple of days ago, unsure why...
Made me feel.... well way off the 'course'.

I think Marquez would beat Hatton as well.

I have respect for Hatton, please don't misunderstand me, I just don't think that English Warrior can hang with the asian freak, and the mexican assassin.

However, he's got Floyd Senior, and I think that combination is killer.
