My Brand and Balancing Work & Happiness

My vision of my personal brand Control Your Mentality, is a cultural movement, that will lead to the marketing of my brand on various outlets. I want Control Your Mentality to be trademarked and used to express the freethinking spirit within each individual. I sometimes feel robots have already taken over and not the metallic kind. I think that many people have a robotic state of mind, that has been programmed throughout years of being spoon fed on how to think and act. If there’s no malicious intent or act, things should be freely discussed without anger or chastising. We don’t all think the same and that’s the beauty of being human, we shouldn’t close that part of us up, by trying to force people to think alike or act the same.     

I’m very fortunate when it comes to balancing happiness and work in my life, as basketball is my life and it’s brought me much happiness over the years. I’ve gotten to travel the world doing what I love and I couldn’t be more appreciative of that. Playing basketball professionally has had its ups and downs, as traveling, being away from family and friends for months at a time takes a toll on you, but it does have its many rewards. Rewards such as, winning games, experiencing new things as well as making new relationships. Now, I will soon be transitioning into the sales/marketing field where I believe I will find similar happiness because the field suits my personal traits. I know there will be difficult times ahead but feel as though I’m prepared to make the necessary adjustments to not only be successful but happy.
