The venue may have changed but everything is still the same. Etiquette, interactions, communications- these are all very much so relevant now moreso than ever. Just because you’re using social media platforms to augment your communicating doesnt mean you throw out everything you know already.

Retweetimization means saying the most with the least amount of words. It means leaving enough space for others to repeat it & you. It means doing a little extra work for a much bigger payoff.
Effectively when I retweetimize my statements I make sure to Read the rest of this entry »
No matter how hard we try to project a certain image of ourselves, once we put it out there it is up to the viewing public to decode exactly what we are trying to say. A message can not live in a bubble to be fully formed. Other people mirror our best intentions and give us feedback regardless. Perception creates reality and therefore is reality.
Everything we do is a causal chain reaction forcing others to evaluate exactly what we are, who we profess to be and what we mean to them. It is no coincidence that we can not see our own faces without a mirror. This shows us that we are inherently reliant upon others to create a vision of who we are.
How we view ourselves is an important factor in molding reality. When we envision ourselves in a certain way it starts to slowly craft itself into being as it is constantly woven into the fabric of our lives. What we profess to be is exuded from every pore of our body when we come from a place of whole beingness. Others start to sense this on some level which in turn influences their perception of us thus creating reality. This is as important to us as individuals as it is vital to businesses.
Ask yourself these questions:
How would you like to be seen? How are you portraying yourself? How are people receiving your perception of yourself? What can you do to align your vision of yourself with others perception? Are you going above and beyond to do everything possible to be seen as you’d like to be seen?
It is a wonderful feeling when people accept you as you intend to be. Until then enjoy the journey & just know that we are always modifying our vision of ourselves as we grow.
The true beauty of it all is that we can never really reach finality because we are always changing. So really, enjoy the journey.
Oftentimes we are drawn to venerating the “good” and villifying the “bad”. I present to you that we flip that concept on it’s head and do exactly the opposite.
Good & Bad are subjective terms at best and divisive terms at worst. I posit that “working” and “not-working” be substituted. I know- not as catchy- but truer to what the words need to do for us. Words describe what something is doing for us in relation to life.
So what exactly should these words be doing for you? When something is “not working” it is a clear indicator, a BRIGHT RED BLINKING SIGN towards not where you should steer away FROM but where you should go TO.
I am a firm believer of focusing on the positive things in order to manifest them in your life. That being said, if you choose to focus only on everything that you feel is good or aligns with your personal values you will never grow. The people that point out your flaws (either verbally or physically by exhibiting something in their actions) are the ones you should thank the most. They are put in your path for you to reexamine & realign your internal dialogue with your external conflct and vice versa.
While initially the “yes men” situations may feel good, they do nothing to spur us onto further growth through evaluation. You can have your pats on the back. I’ll keep my kicks in the stomach.
What has been put in YOUR path? How have you addressed it?
This application solves that annoying problem of not being able to text message others photos.
Instead of sending the photo straight to your friend’s phone, it sends a link to a web page to see the photo.? This may not be the most ideal answer iPhone users have been looking for but it is a necessary workaround for now. Just remember that you have to check your friend’s photos on a webpage just as well, so now they’ll know exactly what you do to view their photos.
One caveat: Make sure to only have one phone number saved for a contact you intend to use and that it is a mobile phone number or the app will crash.
