SeeMe.LiveMe.BeMe

I know its been awhile, but guess who might be on MTV’s

That’s right! Yours truly might be on MTV! I sent an email in to True Life about obviously, my life…

I woke up this morning and this is what I saw: 

They replied ! Looks like my life isn’t boring after all

I am so stoked ! They want to sit down speak with me about the specifics on my life to hopefully, participate on the show.

Now  then, lets tackle todays subject:

Vibe

What is it?

People are always telling me their own “interpretation” of Vibe–

One common answer I hear is: ” Vibe? It’s how loud we can yell! “

If that’s true, what does it mean when people say, ” We’re vibing with each other.” For example, when two people are dancing or laughing–they’re “Vibing each other,” but certainly they aren’t yelling as loud as they can–that would ruin the moment.

Often I hear, “Timmy, vibe is the level of your energy.”

The written definition of vibe is: atmosphere or feeling: a particular kind of feeling or ambience ( slang )

That’s a bit more accurate…

But the truth is, most definitions given to describe vibe are often too vague or often too “one-sided.”

There’s a saying:

“To be understood, you have to learn how to understand.”

When people don’t vibe with one another, it’s because they don’t understand where each others coming from.  Vibing with one another happens because every-single-person understands where each unique individual is coming from.

When musicians are making music together

They understand the same genre of music–while at the same time these musicians know what it’s like to be an artist–the good and bad times. They know it’s important to strive for their passion–to the point of starvation, it’s because of this UNDERSTANDING, which allows them to bond with one another on a deeper level–vibing to each others rhythm.

Same goes for ” Dance Club Game.” All the time I see women dancing and enjoying the moment with their girlfriends–when all of a sudden, some un-calibrated dude comes in and ruins the moment by trying to introduce himself with low-energy complimented with a handshake.

A HANDSHAKE, on the DANCE-FLOOR.

Seriously?..

Come on!

And after getting blown out, he’s going around yelling, “She’s such a bitch! ” (typical)

It’s no wonder why he got blown out on the dance floor, he didn’t understand and RESPECT where the girls were coming from. It’s because he didn’t respect them FIRST, they didn’t respect him in return (blowing him out).

If you’re going to introduce yourself not only on the dance floor but Anywhere, first ask yourself, ” Where is she/he coming from?” Are they dancing? Enjoying the moment?”
If so, go in guns-blazin’ with bursts of energy and dance with them!

They’re having fun, don’t fuck it up by coming in with low energy!

Always look at each situation before coming in. The last thing anyone wants is for someone to hit on them while attending their sister’s funeral. (This is an obvious extreme example, but you get the point.)

Understand where someone is coming from before approaching.

Lets just talk about how this rule applies in general–not just the dance club. The rule (Seek to understand, before being understood) applies ANYWHERÊ and EVERYWHERE. It’s a mandatory rule I came up with in which I make sure all my students live, breath and know.

Before people can even implant the THOUGHT of trying to understand who you are and where you’re coming from, you have to first ask them, “Who are you, why are you doing what you’re doing? ”

Even if you might think you know them, it’s important that THEY know you’re making the effort on getting to know and understand them.

It’s the act of trying to understand someone that will transition them into getting to know you.

I cannot stress this enough! I maybe known for swagger, but underneath my brand I make sure all my students are prepared not only with techniques, but also the theory that goes behind everything to make my students  A-force-to-be-Reckon-With.

There is much more to this topic alone, but I am going to end it here and leave you with a recent video I made. It’s an update on my life.

Cheers!
