The Pursuit of YOUR Happiness By Mel


Will Smith played Chris Gardner; a struggling father who was in a slow down market to sell portable bone-density scanners began to feel the effect of income inequality.  At the early stage of his marriage both him and his wife worked hard for a living but their wages were stagnated.  This cause a rift in their marriage as his wife felt that she was taking on too much financial responsibility and therefore she left him and their son.   However, Chris had a gift; he was always good at Math which prompted him to try out for a position as an intern stockbroker.  Unfortunately, this was an unpaid intern and he had to compete with 20 others to get this position.  What I admire about Chris is that he was a single father who did not receive any handouts from the government or assistance from his friends.   His struggle became his strength which helped him to accomplish his position in the financial world today.  A man in this position should not be going through circumstances such as the IRS garnishing unpaid income taxes or becoming homeless with his son which occurs to so many others in this country.   Thank goodness Chris did not sell drugs to get back on his feet because in his case some people in the urban city hustle because there are not enough financial options to choose from.  For example, two of the biggest employers in the urban city are Walmart and McDonald’s which should be paying their employees MORE.  Chris is a great example on how you can pursue your happiness through hard work and live comfortably based on something you love to do.

BE who you ARE, not who the World wants you to BE By Mel

  Life is full surprises.   When you’re out there in the field you get a sense that all eyes are on you.   That oil to your engine is confidence .   Every ounce in your body engages you to stay well groomed, sell your image, build your vocabulary and practice on your art or goals in life.   That’s a very attractive trait to have and I will tell you why.   The love you put inside yourself shines externally which creates this invisible aura.   It creates offensive projections defined as the way you carry yourself or how you interact with people combine with defensive measures such as keeping your guard up and not allowing people to take advantage of you.   We all have our moments when we navigate in unfamiliar territory.   For example, giving your time and effort to someone who shortchanged you or getting laid off from a promising career just because you challenged the status quo.   Sometimes you feel betrayed but let me share som...

Self-Reflect and Accept Change By Mel

I NEVER understand why people are so desperate to get into a relationship without focusing on themselves.   Cuffing season has become the new norm in today's dating age and no wonder why there are so many incomplete relationships.   Shortcomings are bound to happen when you put in shortcoming efforts which equals shortcoming results...it's not rocket science.  When people market themselves in a particular way by showing their romantic side or being independent it is completely opposite when they are in a relationship.  For example, they unleash their bag of unlucky charms which cursed them from their last relationship hoping that their significant other will accept them.  Nine out of 10 that rarely happens and I will explain why.  Deceitful people brush their advertising promos underneath the rug and show who they truly are with nasty characteristic traits like clinginess, non-trustworthy ways and possessiveness.  By not practicing what you ...

False Advertising By Mel

  Sometimes when we come across someone who we are extremely attracted to we subconsciously do not reveal who we truly are.  This is what I call " False Advertising " which means pretending to be someone else to appeal to a person who you are attracted to.   This all goes back to low-confidence because most men who discover to their own delight that if a beautiful female shows a little bit of friendliness he assumes that she is highly attracted to him.   With no rapport building to see if they have some sort of emotional connection he then abandons his self-identity just to please her.  This is where he gives his power away based alone on visual aspect without this woman even putting minimal effort in to show she is interested in him. Little Trey's logical mind instantly goes into character mode.  For example, he begins to text her non-stop with little to no feedback or purchasing expensive flowers every day delivered to her job.   Sadly, this t...
