Live Your Dreams
We lived in Los Angeles for a good many years where everyone said they were an actor. Yet, really, there were really just a few thousand actors in LA and many of them worked and supported their families. The old excuse that "you can't make a living as an actor" is false. I knew many who called themselves actors, who had talent but all they did was wait for the next job to come along before doing anything. They did a fine job on the set but when that was over they went back to waiting and complaining that..."you can't make a living as an actor."
On the other hand I had friends who were actors who always seemed to have an active project in hand. Writing, producing, directing, teaching and managing another job many times. To me they were truly actors and if you look at people like that you can see a good percentage of these actors are working. I now live outside of Hollywood and I still work as an actor.
The point is this. Do what you say you are.
If you are a writer, don't wait for a publishing deal. Write. The same for actors or a computer IT person for that matter.
Daydreaming is an active process.
If you state your dreams, you'll accomplish a lot more, if you act on those dreams. Do something that works your dream to reality.
If you want to lose thirty pounds and you sit on the couch, telling your friends on the cellphone that you're going to lose thirty pounds, uh, how many pounds do you think you'll lose...ever?
Um Hmm. Get busy. Someone commented to me that they didn't have time to daydream let alone create some new reality.
Yeah? Really?
Take fifteen minutes and spend that fifteen minutes on your plan, your dream. Actively.
Enjoy the day...and don't forget to daydream.
