Breaking Up With Mr. Lists

I know you guys were expecting another post a few days ago, but the video I made for you guys needed a little more editing. We'll ignore that for now.... (Please) lol

I want to talk about lists!! Untill 2 weeks ago I depended on lists. Grocery lists, to do lists, wish lists...the lists could go on!  They can be very helpful., because although he brain is powerful, memory is not the best thing to rely in. We're humans, we make mistakes, and many a time that mistake is followed by the statement... "Ooops! I totally forgot" <----- That statement is why myself and others start scribbling down lists!

1)Take out the trash on Wednesday

2) Call Tana back

3)Pay Money for class on Saturday

About two weeks ago I decided to take a break from lists. I went through all my old notebooks and I kept finding all these lists that had half the "to-do's" crossed out and the other half just sitting there, and unfinished. That is when I noticed the flaws in lists, as important as they are to staying organized, they can also be disheartening. If you are trying to start something new, and you need to do 21 different things you may find yourself barely accomplishing 1. Since my break up with lists I have transformed into a doer. I focus on what needs to be done now, and when I finish one thing I am on to the next. Sometimes we see the whole picture and we get so overwhelmed by what the final project is suppose to be. 

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." 

Lao-tzu

^^^^ We can't forget that! I am pretty sure that me and lists will start dating again soon, but when we do our relationship will be different! I'm going to let Mr. Lists know that sometimes he gets a little overbearing and that he is going to have to be my side boo, because Mr. Execute stole my heart!

Do what is right. Not what is Comfortable

It is good to give, it is good to turn the other cheek when someone wrongs you, and it is polite to not call out people when they make mistakes. But you can not always do this. If you are working on a team and someone is messing up you can not be so worried about being polite that you let things continue to go wrong. Your "politeness" may be the very thing that gets YOU fired.

If a friend is in an abusive relationship with drugs or a man you have to say something. Some people will not say anything because they think they will loose a friend, because they are going to have to tell the person that is abusing, words they do not want to hear. You have to realize that by not saying something, you are truly risking never seeing them again. They may wind up dead if you do not risk them getting mad at you!

A majority of the time, the right thing is not the easy thing, but it is always the better thing! Be better!

New Years Resolutions!

First and foremost...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! It's 2012!!!! 

The funniest things about this time of year are probably the unrealistic diet plans!! People usually tell themselves around this time of year that they can do all these things that they have never done before. If you eat chocolate everyday it is ssooooo unrealistic that you are about to go 3 months with out one bite! If you never work out you probably wont start working out 6 days a week. If you gossip all day and are still around the same people, you'll be gossiping in two days, and if you have a shopping problem, it is not going to stop just because you are not going to go to the mall for one week!

The problem with most people's new years resolutions is that they are unrealistic!!! Last year I tried to give up drinking and did for about four months. And than I drank again, but I did realize drinking became less appealing to me, so I now drink a couple times in a month. I also wanted to get in the habit of praying more and I started with praying right before I went to bed. I now pray when I wake, every time I eat, when I leave my house, before I do any audition, when I see news of sickness, before I go to bed, basically as much as possible. These two situations made me realize the solution to all these failed new years resolutions.

You should not expect or put all this pressure on the first month of the year. Yes, it is a great time to start these new better habits, but realize you do not have to accomplish everything you want at once. You are making a New YEAR resolution. You make these so on new year's eve you can reflect and see that after a year's time you have accomplished your goals. Start today but give yourself a break, it is hard breaking old nasty habits. And if you have been doing something for 10, 20, 30+ years the odds are you can not quit that habit in 3 weeks!

A Prayer for your enemies!

There are these two guys in LA that just love my life, and they are always talking about me. I could not figure out why, when I do not even put myself around them. I also discovered there was nothing I could do to stop them. I stay clear of them as much as possible. They still talk. I yell at them. They still talk. I talk about them.  They still talk.  Ultimately no matter what I do they are going to talk. My last resort (should have been my first) was to pray. I created a prayer for these hateful people, and for anyone like them. I have actually seen them get some of what I hoped they would and I hope that it continues. If you have anyone that is always talking about you, or is just negative towards you I suggest you start using this prayer for them."

"Father I pray that you help those who can not rid themselves of their jealous ways, and  give them and all my enemies the things in life that they most desire, so they do not have to feel jealous when I receive their biggest desires. "

People are going to do whatever they want to do, so if someone decides they are not going to like you the only thing you can do is pray for them.

May All Your Christmas Wish's Come True!

Forget Humble, Be GREAT!!!

"People tell you to always be humble, humble, humble, but when's the last timeanyone told you to be amazing, great, or awesome?" - Kanye West

We live in a generation that is so politically correct, and so worried about offending someone that we have people tip toeing around being half the person they should be. This quote is not saying you should go run on stage and let the world have a piece of your mind, but it is saying STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT OTHERS WILL SAY AND GO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE!

I know so many people that if they were to go sit down with Michael Bay (Transformers Director) right now, and if he were to ask "Are you a good actor?", they would reply with "Ya, I'm okay." Okay? Michael bay is not going to put an "okay" actor in one of his movies. If he were to ask me I would say "Yes, I am amazing. Do you want to see a monologue?" You have to believe in yourself before anyone else does! And if you think you are only okay, than that is what you will be to the world. Saying that I am amazing is not being cocky. It is not like I just randomly stated "I'm great...", but if someone asks you about yourself you better let them know how fucking great you are! Stop under playing yourself! You have to be your own best salesmen!

Thank You

I know I have people that wish nothing but harm for me. Plenty of people do not care if I am alive tomorrow or not. Some people that really sit around waiting for me to fail.The better I get, the more I do not care. I would be a liar if I said when people make up lies and rumors that I do not care at all. Everyday I am getting better at ignoring those people, because I am learning to give them none of my attention and more importantly none of my thoughts. I am learning to focus on the people that want good for me, the people that look up to me, the people that want to see me shine. And I wanted to use today's blog to say thank you for helping me on my road to success, and to encourage you to say thank you to the people that have helped you on your road!

If you have ever prayed for me... Thank You!

If you have ever smiled at me when I was down...Thank You!
If you have ever talked me up when I was not around... Thank you!
If you have ever talked me up when I was around... Thank you!
