Window Of Opportunity

Today I had the privilege of interviewing with Country Living Magazine and I was blown away! I was able to see the inner works of an established magazine company and it was just mind blowing. It fascinated me seeing the different aspects of the company and the roles of the staff that are separated but then joined together to create a single product, a magazine. I have never been inside a magazine company so all of this was very fascinating and in my opinion brilliant.  Not to mention the gorgeous view of 8th Avenue that can be seen perfectly from their conference room and also Columbus Circle and parts of Central Park. This company is placed in a marvelous area with a diversity of foods that could be indulged in around 8th Avenue. It has a small powerful, hardworking, staff that really amplifies the true meaning of homeliness and that is what Country Living is all about; home orientation. This is what opportunity is all about my readers, taking control of what is handed to you and using it to its best ability. Me, Everette Hamlette, a poet from the Bronx would have never imagined for this to happen. When an opportunity presents itself in your life readers take it because that is how I got to where I am now. Don't say next time or another day because the time is now and that day is today. I would like to thank the staff of Country Living for presenting me with such a great opportunity and I will use it to my best ability to better myself and the company. To my readers, keep doing what you are good at and if you have a chance to do it for a cause DO NOT BACK DOWN!!! In the courageous words of Andie played by Briana Evigan in Step Up 2 "it’s not about what you got, it's what you make of what you've got!"

Pursuit of More Happiness

I would like to apologize for my delay in blogs. I’m going to skip the excuses and get right to the point f this blog. HAPPINESS! “Don’t lose your happiness on the pursuit for more of it,” –Mike Stud. I read this quote earlier this week off of Mike Stud’s Instagram and it spoke to me. Literally! My mind began to race and I started to wonder… I wondered about life, about my life, about the decisions I have made in the past. Attempting to figure out if I fell a victim to giving up happiness for more happiness. The answer to this question that I have been asking myself all week is YES, I have lost happiness on the pursuit of more of it. But then another question arose from this answer…  And that question is why? Why did I throw away something that made me happy in order to obtain more happiness? In my option, it is jealous. People constantly compare what they have to what other people experience. If this is being done all the time people won’t be able to truly appreciate what they have. Thus causing this false idea that what an individual has isn’t good enough and more is needed. The sad part about this is that once you lose this item, this person, this happiness… that’s when you realize how good it was to you. Now let me ask you this my readers, are you giving up what you have for something more when you don’t necessarily need it? If so ask yourself this, are you giving it up because you genuinely need it, or because other people have it and you want it. Life is a game of give and take, lost and obtain, once you lose something you can’t always get it back… Think about that my readers, if you are losing your happiness on the pursuit of more happiness because I know I have and I want to put an end to all he lose.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

I believe thinking is such a complex phenomenon! It can either lead a mind to its destruction or lead a mind to a path of greatness. The key to a smart thinker is not to simply think all the time, this can cause over thinking. Over thinking theoretically can cause problems in one’s mind that aren’t necessarily there. I can honestly say that I’ve experienced this level of extreme thinking. Thinking so much that I began to imagine a problem that has no possible way of occurring. This is the destruction aspect of thinking, a route I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. On the other hand, positive thinking can push one’s mind to an unimaginable extent. Which is also something I have experienced. My advice to you my readers, is a concept I began to use to its fullest extent. “Out of sight, out of mind.” It’s simple really, “out of sight, out of mind” is basically taking something that you are constantly focusing your attention on and placing it out of sight. Since it is now out of sight, your thought process has space to concentrate on other things. Slowly allowing that thought to leave your head. “OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND.” So to my readers, if you are ever over thinking something, a girl, a guy, social media, a deadline, a friend, or a family member and you just need a minute to clear your thoughts… Get it out of sight and focus on other things and before long it will be out of your mind. Over thinking has can be a curse, but it also has its gifts. Thats what I'm giving you right now my readers, the gift...
