TRAITS OF VIRGO


Assets of a Virgo:

Gentle, hard workers, detail-oriented, devoted, good friends, civic-minded, able to make quick judgments, extremely caring...
Main motivation:

PERFECTION
Negatives Qualities (and how to transform them):
Judges others by external appearances
Learn to ‘judge a container by its content, not its label.’ Look deeper into a person, and do not put so much importance on what they look like.
Reacts without regard for anybody else’s feelings
If you spot it, you got it! People are mirrors for us, so when we see faults in other people, it is reflecting something in ourselves.
Doesn’t accept criticism.
No one is right 100% of the time. Though you may be right 99% of the time, be open to what others have to say.
Impatience
Being patient with someone is actually a gift. By holding your tongue and listening, you are doing a great act of sharing.
Focuses on the small scale
Virgos have the ability to make great changes for large amounts of people, as long as they are taught to widen their focus.
Worriers
Virgos always see what needs to be done next, and this state of constantly being “on” makes them inclined to worry. On top of that, they think they have to do everything by themselves. You are not alone. It’s OK to ask others for help. In fact, it’s recommended.
How to improve relationships with a Virgo:
  • Don’t take their criticisms personally.
  • When they are being testy, it’s best not to engage them. It’s hard to tango alone.
  • Encourage them to learn how to relax.
  • Give them criticisms by proposing alternate solutions. Don’t just lecture them.

Mike Tyson, Undisputed Truth



What did I really know about Mike Tyson?  I knew he was the greatest boxer of my generation, I knew he was a beast and I knew he was always getting in trouble.   Not a very broad view of him at all, especially since I saw him being very aggressive with a girl at a club called 2ii's many years ago.  It was a small lounge on 14th street where they had some good hip hop parties. My friends and I used to see him all the time out and about in the club scene and he always looked a little crazy.  As he admitted to being so at his Broadway play.  

He held nothing back and was so honest and at peace with all the decisions in his life.  The good and bad, he talked about it like a outsider looking in.  He was a little hard on himself but in a way that the audience could look at him and be like, "It's ok Mike, we understand".   It's exactly how I felt when I walked away, I understood Mike Tyson and I wanted to hear more.  

The best story of the night was when he was talking about Robin Givens.  She is his ex wife who he called a Gold Digger by playing Kanye's song and dancing along to it.   He caught her creeping around with BRAD PITT and he told the story about how Brad Pitt was shook when he saw Mike.  So funny!

Two moments brought me to tears...  When he spoke about his mom and her death and about the death of his daughter.   He ended each segment with a death and his thoughts on it.   He's been sober for 3 years, low and behold he was addicted to cocaine and had a serious problem with it.  He's said he's beat it for now but the need for it always creeps in at his darkest times.   His mother was a alcoholic so he inherited his addiction gene from her.   He said she died from Cancer but he believed she really died from a broken heart.     His mom came up to NYC from down south with dreams and aspirations of being someone and making it but that is not how it worked out for her.

I want to say more but it's really something someone needs to see to fully enjoy.   It was a great night, I got to hang out with my friends and I always love being in NYC.  



Thank you Mike for sharing with us your Undisputed Truth.



You're Mean

 A close friend of mine said that to me the other day.     It's true I can be.    I can be very mean, cold and cutting.    It's a sa...
