This episode labors as a dense constituent (part I) of a dual series in which we'll explore and unearth the original intent/design of man (intended renderer/initiator/hunter/provider) versus that of a woman (catalyst/nurturer/help mate/companion). However, societal norms have evolved, thereby skewing the aforementioned masculine and feminine constitutions. I implore you to also tune in to the proceeding episode (part II) which addresses the identical topic from a male perspective during next week's episode. Thought-provoking questions this episode embody the following: What shapes the roles of man and woman, masculine and feminine. What is your perception/vantage point of the design of man and womankind? How do you define it? How have societal changes impacted and/or impeded intended male and female dynamics? What/whom have attributed to such (Role reversal etc)? How do male and female roles correlate to balance? Does chivalry still prevail? If so, what are the indications?

We revealed and mutually confirmed that organization and "communication" serve as paramount constituents of the formula for success and a healthy equilibrium, nonetheless. However, indisputable deficiencies in interpersonal/personable communication have emerged. Gone are the days of pen pals and hand scribed letters to one's beloved (void of military personnel of course). Has such "good old fashioned" means of communicating become antiquated or simply extinct?

Yet the question remains as to whether or not we allow ourselves to become "inundated" by unnecessary distractions AKA "the white noise," or are we virtuosos at weathering the storm and essentially deflecting it? The Advent of state-of-the-art technological advances have catapulted society lightyears ahead in a positive regard. On the contrary, the same technological mediums, AKA social media, reality television etc. have inadvertently induced "technological obesity." In shorter terms, consumers' ravenous appetites for "media" are creating an epidemic of imbalance. Case in point, many people have become so engrossed with "tuning in" to that and those which are frivolous and counterproductive, that they've "upset their personal equilibriums." Hence, I implore you to listen in to our forthcoming episode on this very topic with special guests of course.  Grant yourself the "right-of-way" to deviate from the madness by breaking the shackles of enslavement to "untimely rhythms."   00:31:00Recalibrating the ScalesnoBalance,Self Help,Motivation,Focus,TalentHow versed are you at filtering through unnecessary clamor?
