The Dream:
After a long talk with mi padre, I think it seems fitting to
make my dream of the week a bit simple compared to previous dreams. This week, I dreamed about doing
something … and being insanely happy while doing it.
What did I “DO” to move forward?
I did my taxes, played with my dog, signed up for Denver
Center Season Auditions, and got a smartphone. Not a bad week.
Any of you who have been waiting on the edge of your seat,
waiting for my weekly blog installment to drop every Sunday night, have
probably noticed the lack of consistency on my part. I’ve been a bad blogger.
I guess the problem with writing a blog that is focused on
inspiration and go-get-em-ness is that if the writer is feeling down, he might
slack off.
This spring I’ve had the incredibly difficult problem of an
abundance of life choices. Every
day, I get pumped up with a combination of life choices that are never the same
between two days. Apples one
day. Oranges the next.
As I said earlier, I was talking with my dad recently and he
at one point asked me if I had taken any time to simply calm down and just
‘listen’. I hadn’t. I hadn’t done that probably since
before graduating college.
I’m so grateful for the fact that I have parents that remind
me to do things like, “Calm down and listen.” I just closed the show that I had been performing in for the
past three months and I have over a month till I start my summer job. That’s a good chunk of time to calm
down and listen. I’m not expecting
to have any particular answer over the course of that month, but I expect that
I’m going to be a lot happier than I am now.
Running around, making contacts, making friends, doing
auditions, and practicing the craft will do wonders for an artist to advance in
his career. Making ample opportunities
to calm down and listen for what he really needs to hear will do wonders for an
artist to increase his happiness.
