Good morning friends.
Dr. Harp Seal here. Happy National Opposites Day to everyone. Thank God it’s Monday.
Let’s kick this Monday off with two Positive Notions;
1. Today is just another Magic Monday, because that’s my funday.
2. “Some things are true whether you believe in them or not” — City of Angels —
See you tonight friends, day 311 in Puerto Rico.
Good morning friends.
Its great to be here with everyone on November 15th, 2015. This is Betzy and her daughter Valeria with Sammy. Betzy and Vanessa are colleagues and great friends. This was a real treat for Sammy & Family. Valeria speaks better English than me, and better Spanish than Vanessa. She’s quite an impressive young girl.
OK, lets kick this day off with two Positive Notions.
1. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
2. “The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It’s been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again.” – Field of Dreams –
See you tonight friends, day 310 here in Puerto Rico. Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.
Good morning friends.
We have a very special feature today. Say hello to 21 year old, Sammy Rajendra; Male Model & Actor. I actually met this young gentleman on Facebook. Sammy is Sri Lankan and lives in Staten Island, NY. As a native New Yorker myself, I can tell you that you don’t hear that everyday.

Currently Sammy is am doing fashion catalog modeling for Patricia Field, the Emmy Award winning costume designer. Patricia Field who is known for her work on Mother Goose Rock ‘n’ Rhyme, Sex and the City, Ugly Betty, Younger, and The Devil Wears Prada. Previously, Sam did an acting school student role for a MasterCard commercial with Hugh Jackman. I have also been cast as a character (Boyfriend of Sutton Foster’s daughter) in a new TV series called “Younger” and recently received a call back as a break dancer for the Christian Ditter’s movie, “How to Be Single”. I was with Ikon Model Management for 2 years. In 2013, I got selected number 17 thposition in Ford Model’s high fashion modeling audition.
Sammy originally reached out to me to ask if I knew of any talent agencies or actual agents to represent him. Sammy has done a lot modelling work but is more of an actor. Unfortunately coming from Wall Street and Social Media, I know very little about the modeling / acting world.
Nonetheless I was very impressed with this young man. You see, whether somebody wants to do one thing as a profession, or another, we can all relate to when we were 21 years old and just starting out in the world.
So I said to Sammy, “How about we do a featured story on you for our friends around the world?” — He was ecstatic. I really took a liking to Sammy. We have become friends since I started learning about his story. He’s very soft spoken and polite. I am very confident that with his focus and ambition, he will catch a break. The Smith family are big fans of of this young man. Click here to find him on Facebook; Sammy Rajendra. Story continues below;
Sammy is very educated and comes from an academic type family. But his passions lie elsewhere. He loves modeling and is aspiring to become an actor. Being an actor is his real dream. Its interesting when we talk I remember I used to say the same kind of things he says. He is very focused on his future and feels things are Not moving quick enough for him.
I asked Sammy if he would like to convey a positive message to our friends from around the world. It’s great message, here it is; “Your dreams and your actions define you. Don’t let others define you with what they tell you to do and not to do. Stay focused on your goals. What ever happens, good or bad, Never Give Up”.

The Smith family will close with this. We have known Sammy for about a month. It took a lot of guts at 21 years old to just reach out to someone for some guidance and assistance. I completely respect that. I remember when I was 21, I wished people with a lot of experience gave me the time of day. Usually they did Not. When you’re that young, you don’t know that you don’t know, until somebody mentions it. What we can offer this young man is this advice. Success is about staying focused, accepting rejection and marching forward anyway, ambition, and yes, luck helps too. Having said that, the people that stay focused and ambitious, usually find “Luck” more often than those that take their eyes off the ball.

Sammy you are a big time winner. You just don’t know it yet. Stay positive, stay the course, and seek happiness along the way. I got a feeling, the whole world is about to know you real soon.

Good morning friends.
Happy Saturday everyone. Thank God the weekend is here. As you can see the bed can get very crowded. This picture does Not include Patrick, Vanessa or myself, but somehow everyone finds a comfortable spot so we can all be together. As time moves on we learn the little things are the big things.
That’s another class i slept through. But as they say; “Better late than never” — We don’t need to bring a storm to our lives to make it exciting.
OK friends, lets kick this day with two Positive Notions;
1. The word “Dog” spelled backwards is “God” — That’s not to say God is a dog, but it is to say dogs are Godly.
2. If you remember in the original movie “Superman” with Christopher Reeves, when he was flying in the reverse direction to rewind time so he can save Lois Lane, it poses the question; “If we walk or jog in reverse, can we become younger again?” Something to think about.
Day 301 here in Puerto Rico. See you tonight friends.
Good morning friends.
Day 300 here in Puerto Rico. I’m very happy to share these benchmarks with Jeffrey. Said another way, I’ve known Jeffrey for 300 days.
I can say with complete confidence that when my family and I stayed at the Caribe Hilton in Puerto Rico 36 years ago, I never thought I would actually live here permanently. I guess its like the slogan says; “You just never know”
OK, lets kick this Friday off with two Positive Notions.
1. It’s Friday, that in itself is a win. Even if you feel your life sucks, doesn’t it suck just a little less today? Remember, #GlassHalfFull and #GiveTodayAChance.
Now for number 2, I have to go listen to a Barry Manilow so i can come up with a really good notion. Be right back.
2. “Aim beyond the clouds and rise above the crowds and start you own parade”. — I Made It Through the Rain — Barry Manilow —
See you tonight Friends. Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.
Good morning friends.
Scott Smith here. I want to quote a line from the movie; “Vanilla Sky” — Here’s the quote; “Its the little things in life, there’s nothing bigger”. However, there is something better, sharing the little things in life with loved ones”
Have a great day.
Good morning friends.
Happy Poppy Tuesday. A day filled with Hope and Possibilities. Remember, if the Pops can do it, anyone can. Pops is like the Rocky Balboa of dogs. The point being is the underdog can win.
OK. lets kick this day off with two Positive Notions.
1. Its great to be participating with life on November 3rd, 2015. We get another shot today.
2. Being our perception is our reality, I perceive happiness.
Have a great day friends. Day 297 here in Puerto Rico.
Shhhhhhh. I am trying to catch a pumpkin.
Good evening friends. This is quite a thrilling Halloween video. Its really spooky, so be on high alert.
Good morning friends.
Sammy wanted to drop by and show his Halloween spirit. This is cowboy Sammy. He told me once he can be very Western. I found that kind of odd because I have never seen a western movie with him, nor do i know anything about the old west.
If the Smith family took a test on the “Old West”, we would just answer “John Wayne” for every question. That would be our best. Let me quickly look up some John Wayne quotes on Google. Be right back.
OK, here are two great John Wayne quotes. They are awesome by the way.
1. “Courage is being scared to death… and saddling up anyway”
2. “Life is tough, but its tougher if you’re stupid”
Happy Wednesday friends.
