What is the "My Melody Mindset"?
The "My Melody Mindset" (MY MELODY MINDSET) refers to a way of living like My Melody, who remains honest with her own feelings while also valuing the feelings of others. It embodies "honesty" in being true to what you love, "flexibility" in staying true to what's important without being swayed by others, and "gentleness" in accepting both your own and others' feelings as they are. The "My Melody Mindset" is filled with hints that gently accompany and encourage adults living today.
"My Melody's words and actions
actually contain many lessons for adults living today.
I want to get along with everyone...
But honestly, I want to be true to myself.
In a world where we must wear many different faces,
In daily life where we must tell many lies,
Everyone is searching for their own way of living.
That's precisely why━━━
When you feel love, try expressing it honestly.
Try saying 'thank you' instead of 'sorry.'
Believe that your honest self doing what you love is the most beautiful.
Yes, just like My Melody.
Try living honestly with what you love."
