Five things that continue to make us unhappy

1. Continually focusing on other people success

     It's always good to see others becoming more and more successful and success stories can help to motivate us to become even more successful ourselves. However, becoming obsessed with the success of others may just leave us feeling bad about ourselves. Others may be moving fast on their path to success while you find yourself moving a bit slowly. We need to to step back at times and realize that each of us are on different paths and we can't keep comparing ourselves or becom envious of the success of others.

2. Working just to pay the bills

   Yes we all need money to make ends meet but just getting up and going to work just for working sake will drive you crazy!!! We need to find some form of joy in the work we do not just do it because we know it's something we have to do. Ever wonder why so many of us are so stressed out despite having the money come in every week? It's often times because we are putting so much effort into this job that is not doing anything for us except adding stress. We need to enjoy what we are doing or it will just drive us to madness.

3. Comparing our relationships with those of others

How many times do you find yourself saying , "I wish he would hold me like that or why can't he kiss me like that?" These type of thinking will only cause us to stray from our partner or cause our partner to feel as if they are not good enough. In this age of social media with couples showcasing their love for the world to see many of us find ourselves sitting on the outside just wishing and hoping that you could experience what they have. Let me just point this out to you, things are not always as they seem. We need to focus on our own relationships and not become consumed with those of others.

4.Jealousy over looks

   Well well isn't this a very important one. This goes especially for girls, as we as females will spend hours analyzing our looks and wondering what we can improve upon to look like someone else. In a world where makeup and the latest hairstyles are always trending topics we find ourselves either feeling inadequate or over spending on products to try and reach the ideal look. This type of obsession with our looks will just leave us feeling unhappy about ourselves.


5.Dwelling on the bad things in your life
   Hello!! Bad things happen to everyone not just you however, in order to move forward with your life you have to focus on the good things more than you do the bad. You can't just spend all your days thinking about how you can handle all the bad things that keep happening to you as that will only steal what little joy you have left. You have to find the time to allow the good that you do have going on for you to grow even more. Out with the bad and in with the good!!!

Reimagining the Big Screen: How Palace Amusement Can Level Up the Jamaican Movie Experience

  As a Digital Marketer in Jamaica, how would I revamp Palace Amusement? Here are some of my ideas: 1. The History of Palace Amusement - Create a campaign highlighting where the company is coming from, where it is now, and where it will be. Speak to grandparents who visited at the start, and have each group share their experience. Tie these experiences in with a film of the time.  2. The Love of Palace – Many couples have had their first dates at the movies, sparking relationships that blossomed into marriages and lifelong love stories. This campaign will highlight some of these real-life romances using a black-and-white aesthetic to evoke nostalgia and emotional connection in a visually captivating TV commercial, which will also be promoted across digital platforms. The campaign will culminate in an in-person event where couples with similar love stories will be invited to a special screening of the romance movie currently showing. Brands will be invited to partner in creati...

New Look, Same Tastee: Creative Digital Rebrand Ideas to Revive the Brand Online

My first patty love was Tastee Patties, and to be honest, it is truly disappointing to see that they have failed to capitalize on and take the brand to new levels. In this blog post, I will break down some of the ideas that I would implement to revive the brand in the digital space to surpass what competing brands are currently doing.  The First Bite In primary school, Tastee Patties felt like a reward; our end-of-week treasure after saving a few dollars from lunch money each day. That first bite was more than food; it was joy, friendship, excitement, and pure Jamaican childhood wrapped in a flaky crust. The First Bite Campaign will tap into that shared memory, reconnecting generations to the Tastee moment they’ll never forget, while also introducing younger Jamaicans to the brand in a way that feels timeless, cultural, and deeply personal. Tastee Canteen Makeover Challenge Tastee Patties has been a staple of school lunches across Jamaica for decades, sponsoring canteen areas and m...

The Young are being murdered

The death of the young By:©Saccheen Laing I put on my uniform Armed with books I set out in search of a good education. Streets lined with the blood stains of those who fell on the way  I'm determined to live to see another day But I have no control over those who believe they can have their own way. Armed with guns and knives  They attack me, They assault me, They abuse me , Because they believe they have control over me Because of guns and knives in hand. In my hands I write my plans A singer, an actor, a doctor, a fashion designer or a police man  I clench my fist as my blood runs to join those who fell before  My plans remain in my hands Never to be realized I am young but that means nothing on this land. The blood of the young will replace the ocean that surrounds and beautifies the land How many more shall die before you answer when I ask why? My mother shall cry and bury her son before he becomes a man My brot...
