i feel like it's so easy to just go through the motions of your everyday life.
wake up. make coffee. shower. drink coffee. watch the good morning america. get ready for work. drive to work. work. go to gym. come home. sleep. repeat. with the occasional audition/drink with friend/meeting thrown in there. you get so caught up with this routine that you don't realize why you came here(wherever you are) to begin with. did you come here to drink coffee, get stuck in traffic, and barely pay the bills? or did you come here to work your ass off to be all that you can be as an actor, creator and performer? it's easy to lose sight of it. but i think it's normal. as long as i doesn't last for too long, the phase of comfortability, and you can train yourself to step back and check yourself every now and then...you will get more accomplished than you thought.
to be honest...a lot of it is living in the present moment, enough to enjoy yourself and smile. to be happy with where you are at the moment. but at the same time...to look in the future far enough to have a goal/plan of where you want to go or what you want to be. then trying to make steps that you can accomplish when living in the present moment. little steps, not big ones. ones that can actually be accomplished more easily than "book a pilot." things that are attainable. make a list. and cross that s+++ off. it feels so good to cross stuff off lists.
sometimes i make lists and add some lines of things i have already done, just so i can cross them off. then when i look at my long list... i feel more accomplished and motivated. "hey self! look what i already got done! i can def knock the rest of this crazy ass list out sooner than i thought!"
these are just thoughts. my thoughts. i wanted to vent and write a little. thanks for listening. NOT(borat voice). reading!
