11 years ago. I went to NYC for a competition and showcase to show my chops as an actor and perhaps find some representation in the industry. I got most of the top awards in my category. Including actor of the year.
LOL, I tell you all I wanted was to have a good time!!! And I certainly did when it was all said and done. Made a bunch of new friends and created a dream for myself.
Since then I have completely forgotten this night and my ability to WOW people with my presence despite not know what I was doing.
At the beginning of that year, I told myself that I wouldn't be living in my parent's home in Texas. Somehow I walked a bridge of incident that sent me from a small room to a conference where I was an award-winning actor in just a matter of 7 and a half months.
Just for fun!!!
Along with the cornucopia of awards, I ended up getting a scholarship to an acting conservatory on this same night and 4 weeks later I moved to NYC. The scholarship was not enough to cover the cost of tuition. And somehow I needed to afford to move to the big city. You see I only had just recently got an overdraft statement and had no idea how I would find a place to live and be ready for school.
I tell you all the means to get me there arrived. And thus began a journey that is unbelievable and worthy of it's own story. I tell you, I had no conscious awareness of the law. All I knew was that I wasn't going to live in Texas anymore.
You see - We do this all the friggin' time. We just forget that we tell ourselves what we want. You must KNOW what you want and KNOW that it is done. AND most importantly REMEMBER that you already are the person you want to be.
I told myself I'd live somewhere else. I had no idea how it would happen. The opportunities had to come. I just had to take them and have fun while doing so.
I tell you I didn't work hard at all to get those awards. I just did what I wanted and had fun.
I look forward to what comes next on my bridge!
What is the knowledge that you might have forgotten about? Do you already know it's done or do you worry about how? What are some fun journey's you've been on?
