Free Agency

Often times I make many references to sports since I have such a passion for them. I also have a passion for speaking about male and female relationships, so many times I intertwine the two. I was speaking to one of my cousins just now about different things, of course mainly involving men and women. Some how I began speaking in terms of supply and demand.

I explained to my cousin that at some point or another we are star free agents in this game of love and lust. At some point in our careers we will be scouted and we will be sought after. As free agents we scope the scene, we weigh options and then we make decisions. When you're a star player you take many things under consideration and truth be told some teams are a better fit for you than others. But during this whole recruiting process you wonder as the player "What's in it for me?" The teams seeking you are basically selling themselves to you. They will paint the greatest picture to entice you to go with them. No matter how well some teams try to make themselves look you can still see some things in which you won't be interested in.

Now as the team seeking someone's partnership or services, what picture are you painting? No team is perfect that's a given, but what steps are you taking to become a winner. In this league of love and lust there are teams that are proven winners. Now what team are you? Are you the team that has been a proven winner? Or are you the team that hasn't had a championship since the civil rights movement?(Cleveland) Or are you a team dedicated to winning and are taking steps to do so?

Proven Winner- Have a clean track record, whether male or female they are stand up people and is seen positively through most's eyes.

Team that hasn't won in years- A person who has constantly been in bad situations with the opposite sex and still goes about things the same ways. They refuse to take steps on improving their strategies and criteria or even themselves.

Dedicated to winning- You're in the rebuilding phase and you have consciously made efforts to make good sound choices. You have taken steps to improve your stock and offer something better than what was.

Any star free agent either wants to go to a proven winner or to a team that has shown through their transactions that they are committed to being a winner in the future. Which team are you? And to the free agents out there... What are you doing to be considered a star? Food for thought, just let that marinate.
