Something I read that really inspired me today...
"Whosoever says unto this mountain to be thou removed, and be cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart, he shall have whatever he says. Therefore, whatever you ask for when you pray, believe that you will recieve them, and ye shall have them"
-Mark 11:23,24
A good woman once told me that in order to succeed in life, you must wake up every morning and say to yourself "I am a sucess."
The scripture above backs it up because whatever YOU say about yourself will come to pass, especially with prayer-but with faith, you have to believe it.
You MUST believe that you are a successful actor when you're unable to get a gig.
You MUST believe that you are the BEST when you go to an audition.
You MUST believe that you are highly favored, when you're doing mass mailings to Agents and CD's and you dont hear a response.
Dont worry about if someone is hating on you because your confidence is up ten times more than their's. When times are rough, learn from them and know that it will be alright and you WILL MAKE IT.
Vin Diesal used to tell everyone back in the day that he would be a successful actor and no one believed him. People thought he was cocky and arrogant but knew his potental and that's why he's where he's at today.
I'm a young married father of one who recently lost my job of 7 years. A job that had good pay and benefits that was taken away from me for no apparent reason (when the corporate world decides that they dont need you, they'll do it the worst way); however I saw this as a sign that my blessings are just around the corner-all I have to do is to remain strong and believe that I WILL SUCEED AS A FULL TIME ACTOR, PRODUCER, WRITER & DIRECTOR.
Thank God that I work for a Gym from 5am-12pm, and the rest of the day I could do my rounds by mailing, dropping off pics and auditioning; however its not enough to support a wife and a 9 month old boy, but with GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
I am aspiring myslef as I write this. If this your heart's desire to act, NEVER GIVE UP.
Stay enocuraged and dont let your cirumstances dictate the outcome. You are ALL WINNERS WITHIN.
That scripture is my mantra...
And more:
"No, doesnt mean 'never', it just means 'not right now'". -Keenan Ivory Wayans.
And something that I obviously firmly believe:
"Never be a puppet in this inudstry. Always try to do and know everything, wheather its writing, producing, directing, stage managing, etc. Dont just stick to one thing."
-Keenan Ivory Wayans.
I am doing that fashion show tommorow... I'm really not in the mood. My latest self discoveries has really opened my eyes to the fact that I REALLY have NO desire to do fashion, it's not intellectually challenge for ME, not spiritually fulfilling -- again for ME. I mean I have the damn fitting tommorow before the show, then I have to let people poke at me and paint my face w/ MAC and then parade around on some heels for a total of 3 mins probably in a stupid show that lasts about 15-20 mins tops... It's really retarded, lol. I dont know why I used to be soo obsessed w/ shows and stuff like that. Anyway, some people live and die by it, I dont and cant anymore, I need more dimension. I yearn to be on stage right now, I yearn to move, I yearn to perform, to sing, to be WHO I TRULY TRULY AM. I decided not to quit the job at the dance school, I decided not to quit working at H&M just yet. I need to save money for classes and these jobs are paying well and leave me time to do what I need to. Choices have consequences have results that I have to live by. I am moving closer to my goals, small steps, I'm not IN there quite yet, but I'm on my way and on the right path. It all just feels soo right...
