Good Morning/Afternoon Gentlemen. Good To Be Here. Shoutout to @Quentin Seth Jr for sending me this. DEF intrigued in this special platform to express anything. More importantly learn.

Hey Fellas, I am excited to be a part of this community. Tah has an amazing impact in my life for years. So anything that can help me grow to become a better version of myself I will for sure show up for!

I had a lightbulb moment today. In ManOS it talks about violence and 7 attributes of violence and I don't really have what I'd consider violence in my life and skimmed over that section. But this morning "dialoguing" with chatGPT about some feelings and anxiety I'm feeling, it reframed violence. Deficit, pain and loss are attributes of violence that were identified with my situation: financial stresses, that's a "deficit". Feeling anxious or nervous about an upcoming meeting with an employee could be labeled "pain" and feeling like my business should be doing better and it isn't where I expected it to be, is a "loss". These are all types of violence when violence is defined as something that keeps me from being whole. Violence is such a strong word and I avoid violence in most day-to-day. But when it's framed around anything that separates, fractures, or prevents wholeness then it gives new perspective. @Tah Whitty is this the right pattern? when I'm not feeling whole and I'm trying to become aware I can name the feeling and as I try to understand the root I can go thru the 7 attributes and try to understand more of the cause? So take finances. I'm anxious. I identify finances as a cause. I can identify the trigger is a reault of what I have and what is needed (deficit) and now I can ask, is that within my control? Can I affect change? Is it mine to own? And start to take action. In the case of the employee meeting, I'm stressed and the weight of potential outcomes is essentially painful. But the trigger is because of my fussing at outcomes that in many cases I have no control over (how he reacts and his opinion if me). So I can focus on what I can control. I can only do my best and I have to be ok with that....tell me if in on the right track. @Jared Johnson @Corbin Sellers
