Jealousy….the green eyed monster….

Jealousy….jealous…hate….the green eyed monster….where does it come from? I’ll tell you where…insecurities…mommy and/or daddy issues…socialization issues…the upbringing…and an unhealthy need to compare livelihoods. Whew! That’s a tongue twister, yet all so real.

I despise those who have jealous hearts. If one cannot be truly happy for their family and friends then are you really a friend or family worth being around? Half support is better than no support? Is that the angle? *sigh*….

I’m upfront with my thoughts, words, and deeds. AND I give people enough rope to hang themselves in my life if they choose to do so. So if I have ever bowed out, just know that I allowed too many passes AND it was way pass the time for me to go….and when I think back over those lost relationships, a lot of the issues tend to formulate around jealousy. People will be jealous because you can get your underwear whiter than theirs in the washer. It’s crazy the amount of minute things that people are coveting in your life. Sometimes it takes people years to shed the false face. Once you see the real face, believe it. We tend to give too many chances to people in our lives who don’t deserve one chance. People tend to cross you at the thought of getting some sort of benefit that would place them ahead of you in this game called life. It’s weird. But just to sum it all up, be wary of those who always switch circles. Be very wary of those who lose relationships left and right and be UBER AWARE of anyone who will lie and cry at the same time….LMBO!

Let me digress….jealousy….it’s a cold world to live in. Next up….Monday…where do I start?

The Business Mind

Posted on by The TríB Online in Business, Entrepreneurship, Life, Manifesting

*Deep Looooooooong Sigh* This topic has to come to the forefront. The Business Mind…everyone does not have it. And, that’s ok. BUT, one has to recognize when they do NOT have it and act accordingly, meaning, either, hire someone to be your business mind OR stay in your fruitful lane. Unfortunately, a lot of people get into the “Business Mind” lane and bring discord, misunderstanding, manipulation, and a whole other list of words that are not worth typing. Some people have a “go-getter” mindset that is often confused with the “business mind”. Being ambitious to fulfill your dreams does not mean you know how to conduct business. Those two are not the same. Let me repeat…those two are NOT the same.

Having a business mindset means that you can walk into a room and clearly state facts concerning an intended objective. You can then sit down an analyze all of the possible outcomes, scenarios, and facts surrounding that objective and conceptualize an intended outcome. That conceptualization is then brought to life via a prototype which should contain all that was requested. This prototype can then be tested by the person requesting the new feature, outcome, etc. This, in itself, this small paragraph distinguishes the “haves” from the “have nots” when it comes to the business mind. Those who do not have a business mind but are portraying to have a “business mind” are usually frustrated by this process and they may start playing the blame game when circumstances are not going in their favor. Unfortunately, many live among us…many.

So, how do we solve this issue? Because, whether we want to admit it or not, it is definitely an issue. For starters, people have to be honest with themselves with their abilities. We live in a society where people are trying to “fake it til you make it” to the point of foolishness. I am not a brain surgeon. I will not try to fake as if I am one. I am out of my league. Know your strengths, know your weaknesses, hire people to fill in the gaps where you are deficient. Or take classes….there are plenty that will walk you thru processes. But, you have to want to do better, you have to want to know more, you have to want to have some level of knowledge in an arena you want to enter. If not, own your failures. No one else can own them for you. No one else can fulfill your dreams of “business” for you. Know when you are winning and also know when you are losing. And when you are losing, strategize to get back on the winning side. Having a business mind is not impossible, but it takes skill….a skill that is not natural to everyone, and that is ok. If it does not come natural, then figure out how to educate yourself. That’s your job….not the world’s.
