Melanie Fiona speaks on the definition of Success.

I have began a blog about Success and Friends. Not finished yet, sitting in the draft section. But this article is perfect for what I have coming soon....

BLOG COPIED FROM NECOLEBITCHIE.COM

Melanie on finding balance in happiness and your career:

People assume that you get to a certain point in your life and you live a certain way, and I remember for 7 years while I was trying to get a record deal, leaving Canada. Let’s talk about that I came from Canada. My parents are Caribbean. They are immigrants and they are old school traditional parents. And here I come, saying, ‘I’m going to go to LA and try to be a singer!’ It was terrifying but I’ve always been one to take risks. I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge.

Even in doing music, in previous years, there’s always been a fight to do what I wanted to do and be what I wanted to be. In the beginning, I turned down record deals because they wanted me to be something that I wasn’t comfortable with at the end of the day. And that’s a scary thing too. Not to conform and concede to people telling you, ‘If you do this, [you'll be successful]‘ and I’m okay with that. I’m not scared of the hard work or the journey. It helps build character.


Melanie on her definition of success
Success is happiness.  That’s it. Too often we allow other people’s expectations to be put on us and to define what we have to live up to and what makes us successful. The thing that you can definitely control is your choice to be happy.

Melanie on love

I would say, figure out the type of love that you want for yourself and be open to that and really manifest that. I really believe that you can say, ‘I want this type of love and I see it, and yes I’ve been hurt and sometimes my doubt is stronger than my faith, but I believe in it.’ And I believe it will find you.

Bob Dylan Interview with Time Magazine -1965 What is the truth?

"The audience that want to know what happening in the world week by week, that work during the day and read it small, and its concise, and its pictures in it. Those certain class of people that take the magazine serious."

"If I want to find anything, I'm not going to read Time Magazines, Newsweek, I'm not going to read any of these magazines. Because they got too much to lose by printing the truth. You know that."
