Who is the person who can shake things up a bit and allow you to see the situation from a different angle? Someone creative, open-minded, and someone whose opinions you value? If you have such a person in your life, call on them. You will be glad you did.
People ask me “How did you learn these things?” I didn’t. The gift is, if I can get out of my own way, the #truth and the #path appears. It’s not mystical- it’s available to all of us.
Many of us are familiar with the fear of losing. Everyone wants to win, right? Maybe not. In my book IT ALL BEGINS WITH "I" I talk about how the fear of winning often gets in the way of our success. Have you or someone you know experienced this?
If you want to achieve more, experience more, accomplish more...”fire the announcer”! Every thought that is in your mind has an impact on the behavior you create, which then has a direct impact on the results you achieve. #STUARTKSPEAKS
Kindergarten through 5th grade, they told me I wasn’t enough even though I was scholastically 2 years ahead of the other kids. My sixth grade teacher, Mr. Poling told me I was enough and more. I chose to believe him. To this day, I hear everything but I listen to the Mr. Polings.
As an actor, you should view yourself as an entrepreneur who is working hard at operating your business. What is it you do that’s above and beyond that’s going to bring in more money?
Find the piece of music, art, architecture, literature, etc. that reminds you of and propels you toward your #dream. Apply liberally when you need it most. It’s a powerful medicine.
You have to be careful what you think about yourself, what you say about yourself, what you feel and believe about yourself. Because we truly are who we think we are.
You have to get yourself to a place where you don’t CARE about rejection. You CARE about what you’re dreaming of. You CARE about what you’re wishing for.
I prefer to believe the best is yet to come from each of us, and that we are capable of accomplishments far beyond our wildest imaginations. The only way we will ever awaken that imagination is to begin the process of dreaming and taking action.
Many actors go through this business hoping to be picked. “I had an audition today and I hope they pick me. I hope I win.” That will HAPPEN once you pick yourself. When you go into the room, bring a confidence. Bring a sense of owning. A sense of I AM WORTHY. #PICKYOURSELF
