Howdy Folks! About me: I was a participant in the "DeMolay Degree", a 40 minute historical re-enactment of a late inquisition trial that also competed against as many as 25 teams annually and was judged on accuracy of scripting, interpretation, weight, gravity, and believability. There were 2 main parts. Jacques DeMolay and the Master Inquisitor. At 14, I won the best MI in Texas. The youngest to have ever done so. I was President of the resurgent H.S. Speech and Debate Team, taking the team to state UIL competition and placing 6th myself at humous monologue. I was the lead in several full production plays while in the Marines and took acting classes and auditioned for roles for television and the movie theater. I have always been skilled at improv and street performance. I have been told my whole life I should be in radio. This last year I submitted for 2 audiobook narration jobs, but they had been filed prior to submission. I currently podcast and live cast several times per month. My shows can be found on Castbox and (Website hidden), and my short video's and stand up can be found on YouTube. Aside from that, I write, commissioned artwork, private lessons, and large and small group art lessons, photography, I am a Google local guide, and have some experience at event production.
My Core Operational Principles are:
Truth - there is no direction without Truth, nothing to build upon. The subjective operation structure must be irrefutable, inescapable, and beyond philosophical doubt within bounds that are observable, ttable, and knowable. The Truth I stand on, is that the purpose of life is to face, accept, and release my mortality so that I can see who and what is around me within their own context, and together learn to LOVE myself and others. *To be ready for death, I must know I have always done my best.
Flexibility* - being able to adjust course as needed, and not cling to any one expectation.
Curiosity* - be fearless in learning, unafraid to admit ignorance, and open to new ideas and methods, and failures.
Safety* - in all things, think of the ramifications and potential consequences of as many pivotal choices as I can be aware of.
Boldness* - any ideas that make sense, and are considerate of the “impact trees” (choice and result choice ‘trees’), while remaining within the resource availability pool, and successful deployment abilities will always have my interest,
Courage* - a willingness to jump into an idea, lesson, or strategy, even if it's the first time doing it, and own the results of the ‘courage calls” made.
Resilience* - increase overall endurance in weathering the storms, resilience to take on the challenges, shake off the ‘setbacks’, re-frame the lessons within their proper context, and always, ALWAYS, look for the "open doors"! while expanding the capability of proactively avoiding the closed doors,
Authentic Relationships* - find those individuals, groups, and/or organizations that care equally about the people they are engaging, as well as those they are not.
Humor & Flow - Laughter is the only remedy to fear, and “flow” the only way to get close to now.*
Thank you, Quora & Quorans,* you have actually provided me with an amazing training ground to refine my use of reason & logic, and my writing style is starting to mature. No other platform I have been on since 1984 has been so welcoming and helpful as you!
RESPECTFULLY,
