I've hit the "un-subscribe" button on the rat race, the anxiety driven panic that society has placed on us, usually without our realizing it. Of course, I really never did subscribe to it in the first place, not deliberately, but by naturally following my instinct to become a professional actor. What I didn't realize when I moved to LA five years ago, is pursuing this profession requires a meticulous blend of extreme persistence and serene patience. Discovering the "serene" side of patience has been a fantastic byproduct of many days of needless worry and anxiety, and I'm now able to enjoy the gift of time that is a natural part of what I do. Now, of course, I'm not just lounging in a hammock on the beach sipping Mai Tais each day. I do wait tables 5 days a week, and have to drive all over this ridiculously spread out city to random auditions daily. But I am thankful that I've mastered the art of being present, that my day to day is flexible and spontaneous, and that I'm truly happy right where I am.Jillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178571188534465117.post-35686691643187078222010-06-22T08:17:51.747-07:002010-06-22T08:17:51.747-07:00hahaha.

I think my first instinct is that I would just go on a lot of vacations and Teddy and I would enjoy moments of happiness on a beach....but then I remember that at heart I'm a total complete idiot who loves a good margarita and a smokey bar with some locals....so it's likely with a lot of time on my hands I would become a raging alcholic. <br />So if I ever get rich and want to vacation a lot I'll just give you the money and you can tell me all about it.....you seem more stable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178571188534465117.post-45901892308731893602010-06-18T07:28:06.360-07:002010-06-18T07:28:06.360-07:00Love this entry.Love this entry.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843502956237097375noreply@blogger.com
