Taking the Leap: Joining a Youtube Network Called ForelaDigital

When my Youtube channel started becoming relatively successful, I started getting approached by recruiters from several networks.  The first offer I received, I was about to jump on board.  The benefits of joining a network were that supposedly you could make more money, you received customer service (whereas with Youtube, there is only a forum), they could help with promoting your videos, and they could give you access to free domain music.  When I went to sign up, though, I read the fine writing.  The fine writing said that they would take over my earnings, and they would receive 30%.  Suddenly, I wasn't so sure if this was the right move.  It wasn't so much that I was suspicious of the network that approached me as that I didn't feel I had enough information to make an educated decision.  Their website didn't really tell me very much.  The recruiter hadn't given me the feeling that I could write and ask questions.  So I  chose not to ...

Striving Towards Happiness: What I've Learned So Far

Image
December 2013, I suffered from the worst depressive episode I had ever had.  It was so bad, I couldn't even feel any enthusiasm for the upcoming holidays.  I was so depressed, I didn't even want to try and help myself.  That was when I realized I had reached a new low.  I've been depressed before, but I always had an interest in trying to alleviate it. I figured it was due to my approaching the big 4-0.  Actually, I still have another year to go, but I've always been precocious.  I thought I was starting my mid-life crisis a few years early.  However, I realized that I needed to do something.  I would try one last time to conquer my negative thinking by willpower, but if that failed, I would go to a psychiatrist. By chance, I happened to find a link to a place called Happify.com on Facebook.  I checked it out.  The website claimed it had scientifically proven ways to boost your happiness.  I was intrigued, but also a littl...
