Less worrying, more with the FLOW

Hey Dolls!

So today in my Improvisation class, we were talking about our over all goal to reach by the end of the term.  And when my professor asked me if I remembered mine, I totally blanked out. I couldn't recall what I really wanted to work on in her class. (So not like me!) Something in me, told me that I did have a clue but the words didn't come out of my mouth. So of course she told me, "you said you wanted to work on having less control over things." It was a smack in the face because lately I have been wanting to plan my every move in my acting career, trying to make things perfect. 


Some of us do this all the time without even noticing.  It's a type of comfort that we have because we are so used to the daily routine.  Now if you are like me, you like to have a planner or some sort of organization to really jot down your ideas, things to do lists, inspirational quotes, etc. But I quickly tend to forget that LIFE occurs outside of my planner and my planner is just a reminder.

No matter what career you chose for your life, you can get there with baby steps. This is one of the most important lessons that have been brought to my attention. What you have to do is forget your long term goal, put it in a suitcase in the back of your brain; and instead, have short term goals that will work up to your long term goal.

How to fix this? There is no exact "one way" to put a bandage over it.  This issue can only be cured, with a daily effort of something simple. So simple that you will be mind blown when you read the next line: Enjoy what you do everyday, with the same passion you had when you started it.  No matter what career or what class you are taking, something within you brought you there.

We tend to lose interest or stop working hard, once we get what we have been wanting for so long.  But how do you expect change and growth of success when you have been doing the same daily routine? Everyday you must do something new to see long term results.  Of course results will not be shown in a couple hours, BUT if you keep loving what you do, put in all your effort, seek for new ways to improve, have a positive attitude, I guarantee you will have as much success as you dreamed of when you were younger.

Its all about enjoying the journey, that lives unknown.
