The Flow of Life

 

If something looks good, smells good, sounds good, feels good and/or tastes good your senses are positively turned on and you automatically enjoy the experience you are about to have.

 

Physical sensations define our relationship to ourselves and to our surroundings.

 

There are many pleasures in life.

 

Some women enjoy imagining bathing in a star filled sky at night in the nude surrounded by butterflies.

 

 

Some people enjoy the physical experience of eating braided Apple Strudel. 

 

 

Self-Oblivion

Some people have brains that don’t feel.

They do not recognize what they are feeling.

They are out of touch with their feelings.

Inner-Reality

People’s inner-reality shape their view of the world.

There is nothing better than loving human contact.

That mom is very much with her daughter and her daughter is relishing in that fact.

They both feel truly alive right now.

Your Life

You are not a drop of water.

You are a human being.

Your life will depend largely on your imagination and the thoughts you have.

Imagine eating bright lush colorful melons in a field of wild flowers, and smelling the scent of freshly baked breads and rolls, and drinking freshly brewed strong tea.  Better yet do it.

STRESS FREE LIVING

   

Enjoy a shot of espresso with Creme Brulee with your personal assistant after eating a delicious lunch with your personal assistant of Bacon wrapped Jumbo Shrimp with Saffron Fried Rice with small baby shrimp and bacon bits in it and steamed fresh vegetables.

You and your assistant will be energized and work better after eating a relaxing fun lunch like that together.

Work hard, and play hard, but do not spend all your time working.

Art

The eye has to travel.

Passion and talent arm great artists.

Great artists have the power of genius.

Great artists have the ability to make an audience/viewer/customer/client/lover a part of their own experience.

Here is what was said of Coco Chanel:

“She was extraordinary. The alertness of the woman! The charm! The chic! She was French, don’t forget – totally French!”

Story Telling

Art is story telling.

Fashion is art. 

In fashion/art, you have to be one step ahead of the public.

Art has always been not just in step with history but has led the way.

Artists

Artists are creators of knowledge.

The more resistance artists encounter the more motivated artists become.

Elegance

The man or woman who drinks out of this cup is elegant.

About Gary S. Smolker

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY: No enterprise can exist for itself alone. Every successful enterprise ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others. Otherwise, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist. Imagination, open mindedness and flexibility are the most important factors in unlocking potential. Those who embrace innovation, improvisation, continuous learning, time management, are action oriented, high energy, passionate, creative, purposeful and intense individuals are best equipped to succeed. We all have ideas and the ability to make progress by sharing information and our ideas and also by changing our ideas when appropriate. We should always be on the lookout for teaching and mentoring moments. We hold time like water in our hands; however tightly we clench our fingers, it drips away. But, if it falls on a seed, a seed may grow to become something that will have a positive social impact. PERSONAL INTERESTS: I have a passion to learn, to innovate, to lead, to mentor and to teach. I seek to write things worth reading and want to do things worth writing about. I enjoy (a) driving a fast car, (b) having intense conversations (c) teaching/mentoring, (d) reading and (e) being involved in productive activity. PERSONAL: I believe in cultivating and backing passionate people, innovation, and old fashioned good ideas. I love making human connections and spreading good ideas. I am strongly motivated to achieve in situations in which independence of thought and action are called for. PERSONAL GOALS: I want to live life vibrantly, to be as sharp as a tack until my last breath and to change the world by being me. My personal goal is to be fully engaged in life, to lead by example, to set high standards and to continue to amass firsthand experience and knowledge in all that interests me. PERSONALITY: I love fun and mischief. I relish absurdity. I have an irreverent, facetious and satiric disposition. I dread boredom. I have spent a lifetime reading. I have no bias against people who have lived successful and/or complicated lives. I write to release tension, to get things off my chest. SOCIAL MEDIA: I post articles on the "Gary S. Smolker Idea Exchange" blog at www.garysmolker.wordpress.com, and "Dude's Guide to Women's Shoes" at www.dudesguidetowomensshoes.com. I also post images and comments on Instagram @garyspassion.
