The Status Quo........Dare To Be Different!

Hey... Its me, Mr. Real Life. I have been thinking a lot this past week about a lot of things going on in society nowadays. One thing that has been on my mind is people and how we as people go about doing things on our day-to-day functions. Part of how we as a society tend to function is to be in line with the status quo, or keeping things the way they are because that seems to be the right thing to do instead of functioning differently. I have to say that the status quo is not always a good thing and it is really painful to see many of us stick to that as a crutch in society. So why not dare to be different? Is it because maybe you are afraid of what others might think of you? Or are you a follower? Just think about this whole ideological sense of going with the flow. Politically, it seems like the right thing to do but we all know where that has gotten us as far as our federal government. For those who watch the news and keep up with politics, then it would be well apparent that the status quo is viral and rampant. Being afraid of change is a natural reaction among many people and that is ok. It takes time to get used to change because of the fact that you have done the same thing over and over again. We all have our own minds and yes our opinions and thoughts are often influenced by the environmental, family, and other elements. But remind yourself that you can be different and not just think the way others think, do what others do, say what others say. In the end, you are seen as a leader than a follower. That is how we fight this growing epidemic known as the status quo. Being politically correct is the default of complex thinking and in expressing one's self. Believe it or not but I believe that being in line with the status quo is a threat to society because often people get caught up into the same ordeals and not utilizing their own freedom to think independently. The mind has to be expansive and be willing to think outside the box. The mind is like a sponge and it absorbs a lot of information only if you allow it. So my challenge to everyone is to challenge one another and be self reliant and an independent thinker. Remember that your voice is only as strong as your mind So Dare to be different. Are you a Leader or a Follower? Spoken...... Mr. RealLife

From Lack of Communication...to Too Much

Well hello again! In my first blog about dating and relationships, I discussed how in most scenarios of today, couples do not speak enough. I'm sure its either happened to you in a relationship or it will eventually, but there is a contrast to that "lack of communication". You CAN have too much communication in a relationship and it could bore the hell out of you and/or your partner. Real talk, these days people got all these social networking profiles,phones, PDAs, and it just makes people that much more accessible. You see girls and guys in a relationship who actually talk to each other too much. Understand that when I say that, that I do place a high emphasis on speaking with one another because you never know when you could lose that one person, but you could also say too much to them. You don't want to be in a relationship where you literally have nothing to say to each other when you're in each other's presence because you texted them all day, do you? Your significant other has your twitter/myspace/facebook/skype/etc etc and you always seem to know what each other is doing, but you feel the need to talk 24/7? I've been there personally and it's not fun at all, awkward silences suck BIG time. For a relationship to succeed you have to maintain that balance of talking too much and too little, which is not hard to do, you just have to be consistent with it. Have you ever had those days where it felt like you had a cloud over your head and thought about calling or talking to your significant other for just a second to cheer yourself up? Well, think about applying it to your relationship. The opposite end of that is that you could have been talking to that significant other all day and they really didn't help that much, possibly adding onto the stress or not being of any help at all. Had you maintained that balance then you'd feel that much better talking to them at that *low point* so they can uplift your spirits right(unless you're just some big pessimistic individual lol)? You'd look forward to talking to them instead of dodging their texts/calls because we all know someone that dodges calls from their boyfriend or girlfriend haha. You'll hear people talking about "she won't leave me alone" or "he's always calling me!", funny right? Why are they saying that? It could be in large due to the fact that you may talk TOO much. Like seriously, why are you going to text ALL day and expect to have a full on conversation when you meet up? Okay, there are those exceptional instances where you're maybe traveling and assuring safety, but you really want to make those words stand out to each other. I mean let's be serious, you can't REALLY run out of things to say each other, but you can make your conversations that much more dull by speaking too often about nothing.. Do I seriously need to know what you're doing in the next 5seconds or tell you what time I'm going to be leaving the restroom? People, let's just try to maintain that balance and keep those words that you do speak to each other, special. Personally, I place more emphasis on words rather than physical presence because of that, making words THAT much more impacting to me, but that's another rant that I'll dive into at the next appointed time. ;) Until we meet again -- That Gentleman

Are You Where You Want To Be In Life?

Your life, like this blog's name, REALLY has no script. One minute you could have something planned out and a second later, the plans ruined. You ever felt like that? I know I can't be the only one who's life is generally planned, but tends to deviate off course. Maybe sometimes I write outside of the lines on my canvas, it just feels as though my mind can't be controlled at times. You have a million things running through your head, but you can't concentrate on just ONE thing, which can drive you crazy. The pen to my canvas, yes I said pen because you can't go back in time and erase previous actions, it moves so fast, making smooth and swift strokes on my script. It's quite mind boggling, watching it at work, a true out-of-body experience. But you see, my script isn't a script to an epic movie, it's a silent drama, only felt through the emotions seen on one's face. Sure you can read what I write, but would you feel the way I felt when I wrote it? Doubt it.. Many have creative imaginations, it's just that ONE imagination can't be duplicated. You can't make another Einstein, another Martin Luther King Jr, or another Hendrix...You just can't but you can look at their works in retrospect and soak in it's greatness.

Despite what science says, you can't duplicate a person, and you can't duplicate an ORIGINAL script. Your own life script may tend too be kind of hazy in an unorganized chaos way, but your dreams are perfectly imperfect, leaving you the necessary room needed to grow. So with that being said, the script to life is yours to make what you want of it in the short time that you do have, so use every tool you can garner to make it a masterpiece...because you only get one chance to write it.

Till we meet again..
