An actors Insecurities

It is a well known stereotype that all actors are insecure... where those insecurities lie in each individual can be different. For some it's in their relationships, others in their work and for some others it's in the trust they hold with friends and colleagues.

I woke up on Tuesday morning following an amazing evening with a great team and audience that played a role in our pilot show and I laid there, worrying about some of the most stupid things rather than how amazing things are for me right now.

The world is an amazing place and I think sometimes it is easier to see the bad than all the good. Naturally when you work under pressure and for no financial reward you will step on each others toes and feel let down by those you trust. That said though, when you take a moment to allow life's roller coaster to pass you by and take in all that's around you, all those you are lucky to know and work with, you begin to see that in fact everyone has tough times and it's those tough times that make you more determined to succeed.

To dare to believe that your life can fulfil the lives of others and to remain a good person full of love and positivity is all that's on my mind! You have to work the way your made, the way your instincts and morals guide you to and you cannot possibly please everyone, every time. You have one life, you must live it to the full, never waste a smile and always see the good in those around you, even when it is easier to see the bad.

I am a firm believer in the law of attraction, it was introduced to me when I was travelling and it's basic premise is to bring to your life what you are thinking about, so, in simple terms if you constantly worry, you will attract more worry, if you think of the good things in life, then they will come more and more. try it.

In the words of Winston Churchill
"I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else".

To the future! ching ching....
