I consider myself an honest person. I strive to be this within myself and in doing so, I am able to be honest and forthcoming with the people around me. It's not neccessarily the easiest thing to do sometimes because not all people can handle the truth. But I am the type of person that would rather know the truth from the get go, than find out later that there was a lie; Lies seem to have a way of regenerating themselves, and creating new ones.

I give what I expect; I am honest and trustworthy in the hopes that the people that I come across in my life are the same. That does not mean that I am naive. I have been walked over many times in the past, and while I still bend over backwards for people, I refuse to be used or taken advantage of.

I make every effort to treat every person that I come into contact with the same amount of respect as the next; from the Valets that park my car to the managers of the clubs that I do business with, to the high rollers and celebrities that I often come into contact with. Everyone had to start somewhere; you never know where they are going to end up.

I am an independent, individual with goals that are a vital part of my every day life. Making progress towards these goals is what drives me every day and each little success that I acheive causes me to work that much harder to acheive that much more. Realization that I can do anything I put my mind to has caused me to do and create things that many would have said was not possible. In short, my potential is endless because I THINK it is, held back only by the limitations of time.

I have a desire to learn. I have taught myself almost everything I have ever had the want to know by reading books, asking questions, or researching on the internet. I want to learn culture, technology, music, art, psychology, science, history, spirituality and more. My mind is a sponge that I long to oversaturate with knowledge and experience.

I strive to be the best person that I can be on a physical, mental, and emotional level. Self reflection is key in this aspect of my persona. The better I know myself and my ways, the easier it is to fine tune "me" into the person that I want to be. I try to think out my reactions to different events in my life logically to avoid responding negatively or emotionally. I am not always successful at this, but I find that with each passing day, I become more adept at doing so. I set high expectations of myself and follow through on the things that I say I am going to do. In that same respect you won't find me promising something that I can't deliver.

I came to the conclusion that perception is everything. If I am doing things a certain way and that way doesn't work for me, instead of giving up, I change my perception of things. I find that looking at a puzzle from a different angle often allows me to solve it faster and sometimes more efficiently.

In that same respect, I have also come to terms with the fact that I can't change how people are, I can only change my reactions to them. In learning this, I stopped finding bruises on my head due to banging it against a wall on a daily basis. My stress level has dropped ten fold and I am able to get more productivity out of the people that are working for me.

This is the person that I am. An Independent, grounded, self centered, goal oriented, unique, self teacher with a desire to succeed. Why do I tell you all of this? So you can know the person that I am and the person that I am striving to be, and know that my words are followed through with actions to match.

And while I can be extremely spontaneous, don't think that every move in this game of chess that we call life isn't completely thought through.
