Watch Your Own Belief System

I was out with a friend last night....she is also an actress....and she was talking about how agents and managers are really into working with actors right out of school, into honing young talent from the bigger, prestigious schools (Yale, Julliard, ACT, etc).....

And I couldnt help but think, "wow. is that your belief system?? is that what you believe??"

If you get caught up in that thinking: "I could never be a CEO bc I didnt go to Yale or Harvard" "I will have a hard time getting a good agent bc I didnt go to a prestigious acting school" "I'm too old" "I'm not skinny enough" --- well, we should all give up right now shouldnt we?

The truth is: YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT. Fuck all that other noise. Its just bullshit. Sure, there are bumps on the road, mishaps, disappointments, joys and then often things dont turn out the way we thought they would. They can turn out EVEN better. Everyone has moments of feeling like "not enough." But man, you gotta learn to cut that shit out of your head that stops you in your tracks. It will only bring you down.

I was kind of shocked (and sad) that my friend believes these things.

We all create our own path. You just gotta keep doing your thing. Its not about comparing yourself to others, getting caught up in statistics - in so called "logics" - all that intellectual brain stuff. Its about doing the things that truly make you feel alive.

So go with your heart instead. Not your head. Or someone else's for that matter. Believe in how friggin great you really are. Believe in your goals, your dreams.....I promise you'll fare much better.....
