Hi Mel,

I just read your blog post “What’s Holding You Back? Nick Vujicic – My Inspiration” and felt compelled to reach out. Your words struck a deep chord, not only because of the truth and urgency in your message—but because you framed it with raw honesty, lived experience, and love for others.

I’m Leo, an aspiring digital entrepreneur based in Papua New Guinea. I’ve been learning and growing through Wealthy Affiliate, building a vision called Wealthland, where digital storytelling and affiliate marketing are used to empower our local communities—especially those most often overlooked or underserved.

Your reflections on sleeping in a car, surviving natural disasters, and still choosing to move forward… remind me that setbacks don’t define us. The way you wrote about the boy on the seawall reminded me of many in PNG who live between struggle and strength. I see them. I honor them. And I’m doing this work for them too.

I want you to know your story matters out here. It gives me fuel to keep showing up, creating content, supporting others, and learning one step at a time. If you ever feel drawn to connect, I’d be grateful to share more about Wealthland—and to learn more from you.

To our success, and to using our platforms to lift others higher.

With gratitude and respect,
Leo

Its all about the mindset more often than not. Oh how I have been beat up years ago, or so I thought. I was a victim! Took me years to work around that, forgive and move on.

I remember you helping over there after that massive storm tore up many lives and homes in the Philippines. Did you not grab shovels and hammers to help others rebuild?

Helping the homeless here in California is very disappointing to my heart. They have excuses to keep receiving free handouts. Free is never good, but can be used well if the mind behind that hand receiving understands that tomorrow still shows up with or without them.

Here inside of WA is one of the most awesome places online to move up to the east side, big apartment in the sky, so to speak! If one digs in, stops looking at all the shiny things and works on the foundation that is inside of our first lessons here.

Most talk themselves out of winning, it's too hard, takes too long, I'm not getting paid for this, or what I hear often on gigs setting up stages is " Not my Job" .

You can not do that if it is your Business, do it even when you do not feel like it, and most importantly, Keep the promises you made to yourself. You said you're gonna make ten grand a month, well by golly, get in there and create that! For it will never be handed to you, unless you're comfortable with getting just enough to get halfway through the day.

Stop settling and start creating!

Hi Mel, i grow up in the Philippines. I know how hard it is the life there. The good thing i remember is... even there is no food, no house,no lights, no basic services for months. The people there keeps on going, and keeps on starting their lives.... they dont have time for excuses. 🥰🥰🥰.

Right on, Mel! That's exactly how I feel. And, when I'm feeling stalled, I think of the less fortunate, like the quadriplegic I used to see going to his job every day. 👍💪

That's a lot to take within' the last 40 plus years, Mel.

As the saying goes, keep on trucking and hold your head up high and know you can do it. 💪🦾
