I pray all the time...in every way. I pray in the morning when I wake up and at night before I go to sleep for rest. I may be mid sentence with someone and excuse myself to go to the bathroom and simply pray. Needless to say, I have a lot of believe that prayer works and that we should all pray for our desires, for our family and friends, and for situations of all kinds. To be honest, all of us are living off of someone's prayers. We just don't know it. Imagine that! You recieve a blessing and little do you know its because your ex boyfriend prayed that you would meet your soulmate and you do. I think this happens every single day.
Well, for me I receive all types of blessings daily. I mean not to brag but I am one lucky or fortunate or blessed lady. YET...I have not been prepared this quarter to take full advantage of my blessings because I have not been ready for them. Let me explain. This is real talk here. Well technically, real bogging here. So beware!!!
Example# 1: I submitted for lots of auditions and I received lots of call backs...yet I did not budget for the gas it would take to full up my car to travel back and forth to these auditions. Therefore, I did not go to some of them. Solution: Cut back on some fee based social activities and use that money for travel for acting and also education. To be REAL...the money I spent on the Jay Z concert or even the Gilberto Gil concert = 125 together. That could have filled my tank up for several auditions.
Example #2: I have been waiting for a while to submit for this online acting contest. Now its down to the wire and I need to first learn my lines and then get someone to record the freaking audition tape. I have known about this contest for a few months now. Yet---I believe I was afraid of something---maybe afraid of winning. Solution: When I see something I want, immediately place it in my calendar to obtain. Dont wait.
Example #3: I have done large submissions to acting agents and for the most part when I email my headshot--I get a response, but when I mail them out---I get nothing. My feelings get hurt for a while and I stop for a bit and next thing I know the next month has come and I start back up. YET I could have used that time to just get the hell back up and keep pushing. Solution: Start accepting the fact its not about me for other people. Yet its about me for myself. When I get rejected or dont get something keep it going and dont stop. Dont ignore the rejection...just know that I am passing by a "roadblock or so" and keep it going and do something each day.
This list could go on and on...but from this last qtr I see that I need to reposition how I use my money and use more for my dreams. I also need to be prepared for opportunities since I get a lot of them, and lastly, forget what people think or if they reject me---thats their deal. I am my own big deal. Keep it moving.
