Maintain that good ole' Membrane

Maintaining your Brain and Avoiding set-backs, while we stabilize our mental system, and dwell in a major city. "A spacious combination of resourceful information".

People, people, people. Darn us good ole' people. We and our actions are the most inconsistent vessels on this planet. With that mere statement be known, you'd expect most adult folk to behave or control situations in a way that would protect us from our own defects and successfully twirl us through our ladder of objectives, up a social circle, secure business contacts or succeed by way of any other reason you discover yourselves dealing with individuals. But in this day and age of friendship fall-outs, break-ups, miscommunication, burned bridges and plain ole' devalue of one another, a mishap of these matters in some lifestyles could bring about a crippling halt to the goals of your personal life or career path. Most times we find it inevitable to avoid the stresses and frustration of having to deal with a situation before it throws your life off track and leaves you with the worst feeling of unease after one of these occurrences. Am I right or what?

But why does an on-going relationship seem so scarce? Do people find it appeasing not to be in it for the long haul? Is that appealing to you?--Well, not to me. Unfortunately it makes us all seem like the person on the scene who doesn't easily conform, get along with. The person whose soul has the deepest pit of emptiness and is least connectible to. In big cities, is it due to the opportunist that we are? Or maybe it's by the distractions of so many ways of free intoxication? Avoidable toxins and poisons that seemingly allow distraction into relationships. Do I smell too many Vodka and Cranberry's within your drunken reactions? Reactions to situations that wouldn't have dared been the outcome before drinking hours. Enduring the corruption of others in your quest of gaining their acceptance. Relying on other's approval while you ignore your own needs of stability and seek some sort of validation. Are you focusing more time on our nightlife and event happenings rather then focusing on your actual life long goals?

Well, let me tell you. The core to it all is maintaining a clear focus over your entire entree of affiliations. First and foremost, a "friendship" is an existence that will always need our detailed attention. Your detailed attention will prevent it from becoming your derailed rendition. As with an"associate"? As tedious as it may seem, the needs of this form of connection will forever need your undivided protection. Listen up ego-obsessors, I'm going to break it down for you. Clearly, the "A" in associate stands for everything from accessory and accessibility to advancement and advantage so we won't sit here and convince you not to waste your time holding associates to the same high standards as "friends".Yet I will say that by natural default, operating with folks on the sole basis of association rides the fine line of separation between allie and enemy. Most know that with the gain point of anyone claiming you as their "friend", thoughts of backstabbing and betrayal are immediately thrown out of the window. Then not overlooking the fact that certain relations need your extra sprinkle should flicker these friendships onto a greater cause and allow you to discover things about an individual that you never ever would have expected to benefit from. Highpoints and pro's of this twindling venture. Yet with "associates", this co-existence resumes a role of offering various reasons to the overall cause of you all's bonding and sometimes provides unexpected mishaps all due to the untimely expectations of these bonds, thus allowing negative results to rage being that we barely know what is acceptable for one another. Association is more so a weak bridge to understanding chemistry which floats above a deep sea of misunderstanding, chance and opportunity from a business, personal attraction or socially fulfilling perspective. These business, personal attraction and socially fulfilling perspectives are the main three effects that will coincide with your affiliations fate while on this "associate" level. I call association the "fork in the road". A test that checks for early signs of compatibility and so forth. The bridge where emotions collide and endless relationship possibility's are on the forefront. Unless you walk around in life, completely content with having un-obligated connections with other citizens, then you will cross the bridge of association at some point. So my point is to be careful crossing the bridge, or else you'll end up down the road to creating an enemy by default from an instant mental misconception over your lack of understanding of one another.

Another key to my story is picking your preference of affiliation and preserving the relationships that you create as the delicate plants that they resemble. Nah, I'm not advising you to be all cookie cutter BFF with everyone that you meet- that's just plain corny. I'm telling you to literally nourish your relationships like plants, therefore water them with your genuine love, which should flow life through your alliance's and develop your bond's strength. Nourish them, with sunshine which equals daytime hours to encourage expansion, and to see you in a "real" light. Nourish them, by dwelling in different soil, so that entering obnoxious and agitating nightlife scenes never becomes familiarized with 'hanging out'. Nourish them, by trimming weeds of new circle members, so that you knock-out each of those toxic, bad seeds. Nourish them, that is if you truly do care about the proceeds of your unpredictable associations future.

Above anything else, simply finding the time to be straight up with an individual will unselfishly bring about the detail of honesty and my most prized, "Respect". It'll furthermore bring about shine to any true character within us without us even trying. Not being straight up about your feelings or not providing people with genuineness will only led to gossip and betrayal. Seriously y'all, our acquaintances only want to be understood, try it you'll see.

Truth be told, in order to make it anywhere out of the ordinary in life (meaning those of us have dreams of becoming well-known or gaining stardom in some field) we had better have some sort of positive communication with individuals. Challenging allies and winning arguments may be appeasing to the ego but it certainly doesn't deliver promotion. At the beginning of the day we may all work and play in different industry's, but at the end of the day, we all will dance in the same field of roses.
