Greater Social Life Union of Knoxville

Knoxville, TN

Greater Social Life Union of Knoxville

The Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

There are many steps on your journey to greater social life. Here are the first steps for members of GSLU. After reading the rest of this introduction, you should read the 2021 book The Guide to Thumoslang. Many of our members put this new knowledge into practice as suggested by The GSLU Handbook.

When you spend more time in damage control mode and less time benefiting from your various relations, you waste a great deal of effort in your social life. Such a cost of opportunity keeps you from going at high speed towards your ideals, in creating your ideal self, and in actualizing what you truly want to become. This is likely due to a lack of social clarity, which is essential for internal conversations and vital for meaningful relationships.

Unintentionally created in 2017, accidentally discovered in 2018, and first taught in 2019, Thumoslang is the nomenclature for social clarity. It is used as a language for faster communication, be it in complex collaboration or difficult conversation. The first widespread use of social clarity has been predicted by Thumoslang pioneers to be just as important as the first widespread control of fire. All is explained by The Guide to Thumoslang, which is backed by The Dictionary of Thumoslang.

Again, the Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

Your ideals are the same as your ideal self, which means what you truly want to become. "Everything else is secondary," said Steve Jobs. Our group activities involve you with the first practical steps in the further development of your ideals, in keeping others from interfering with your life, and in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals. To be sure, if you lack social clarity in your internal conversations, face unwanted drama too often, are not sure of your social life or your path into the future, or have no friends and no groups available on a regular basis to help create your ideal self, this group is for you.

*** MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS ***

Our group activities bring you the following benefits:

Benefit 1 - Mastery of Relationships

As new GSLU members participate in the union's activities, they will quickly find themselves having noticeable enhancements in their social lives. The further they participate in GSLU activities, the faster they naturally acquire the mastery of relationships.

Benefit 2 - Best Friends for Your Ideals

Our group activities include practical steps in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals.

Benefit 3 - Internal Dialogues More Effective

Thumoslang is a set of terminology whose use is intended to benefit one's clarity in social situations. Consequently, Thumoslang allows you to have clearer communication with yourself in your mind.

Benefit 4 - Meaningful Relationships Much Stronger

Our members use Thumoslang to mend or strengthen their existing relationships, build new relations, and achieve greater social life.

Benefit 5 - Faster Actualization of Your Ideals

The actualization of your ideals goes faster when it regularly involves your best group, which is the small group of in-person, second-mind friends who are the best for the nurturing of your ideals. Our activities help you speed up the actualization of your ideals by reducing social roadblocks and increasing social shortcuts in your life.

Hi, I'm Cory! I live in Knoxville with my lovely wife Amelia and our two sons. I'm always looking for new ways to help and be creative to think outside the box to get things done. In 2009, my real estate journey began when I purchased my first property and quickly "house hacked" with 2 roommates who covered expenses and allowed me to grow quickly. Finding ways to be creative in a down market, I began acquiring & flipping vacant lots in established subdivisions at local auctions and started selling them directly to neighbors as a way to make some cash and learn more about the processes. I still have a passion for "off-market deals" and love learning and sharing my knowledge with others during our GRID Knoxville Monthly Meetup. We're super proud that it has grown to over 300 members locally (20,000+ nationally) and growing. Working as an agent and investor in Knoxville leaves me with a unique insight into all the options that are possible. The mission is to deliver homeownership to everyone possible and make millionaires out of ordinary people. If there's any way I can be of service I'm always happy to help. [Connect with Cory](https://www.facebook.com/cory.king.750) **What can one person do in a community of thousands? Justin Myers has been answering this question for decades, with his trademark blend of positivity and energy wherever he goes.** His journey began in 2005, as a mortgage broker in the bustling neighborhoods of Tampa, FL. He thrived through the Great Recession of 2008, while adding rental property management to his expertise and founding a company to manage real estate transactions for busy agents. As he learned the residential real estate industry from top to bottom, it fueled his passion for delivering an excellent client experience at every turn. Justin's mantra, "Everyone deserves a home," extends beyond his professional life. He is passionate about affordable housing and ending homelessness, and strives to build a more inclusive and accepting society. He regularly gives back through his involvement with organizations like CareCuts and Knox Pride. Among Justin’s most meaningful achievements are the organizations he has co-founded and leads. Justin co-founded GRID Knoxville, a local community of real estate investors, which he leads to this day. He was the founding president of the Greater Knoxville chapter of Keller Williams Young Professionals (KWYP), a community dedicated to developing the next generation of leaders, and remains an active member. He also co-founded Pints for Purpose, a nonprofit dedicated to raising money and strengthening the networks of other nonprofits in our local Knoxville community. Recognizing this track record of leadership, Justin was honored with the 2021 KWYP Cultural Icon Award, among more than 1,200 members nationwide. Outside of work and civic involvement, Justin embraces life to the full. Fatherhood is his compass, and fitness is his fire. He’s often found practicing yoga, visiting art galleries, checking out his favorite foodie spots, and simply soaking in Tennessee's natural beauty. One of his favorite traditions is watching “It's a Wonderful Life” every year at the Tennessee Theatre. Justin Myers stands as a beacon of community spirit, devoted to improving the lives of those around him. His track record is a reflection of his belief in creating spaces where everyone thrives, because for Justin, victories are best when shared by all."
