Friends Make It All Worth It!

Happy Tuesday, guys and girls!  How are you today?!  I hope your day is a great one so far, and I hope your long weekend was great!  I had a great Memorial Day weekend in Orange County with my family and friends.  It is so beautiful there!  Then again, everywhere has beauty when you're surrounded by good people, and surrounded with love.  

This weekend, I thought a lot about how fortunate I am to have many amazing people in my life.  My friends and my family make me feel so happy, and through all of the ups and downs of life, they make it all worth it!  

I posted an article on acting.about.com last week which quotes David Letterman during his final show.  What he says about his family (and love) was simple, yet very beautiful.  Click here to read the article that I posted, and hopefully you'll find what he said to be as beautiful as I did!

Life can become complicated at times (especially in crazy/awesome Hollywood!)  But, when you know that you have good people who you can count on, everything becomes so much more simple. 
I believe that love is the simple answer to everything.  I want you all to know that if any of you reading this ever feel like you need a friend, you have one here on DaleyPlanet!  In fact, you have over 10.5 thousand friends!  

Our social-media planet is full of love and acceptance, and you're never alone here.

Thank you for being my friends, my followers, and loving members of DaleyPlanet!   

ALSO, guys and girls!  Please wish my great friend, Kate McGuire a happy birthday!!  Her twitter is twitter.com/katerosemcguire  !

#Coffee and #Hollywood...   

5/21/2015

I love both coffee and Hollywood. Honestly you guys, I need to ask you:  Is it normal to drink approximately 6 cups of coffee in one day, and still crave more coffee?  I like to think that the answer is, YES, it's totally normal.  But, it's probably not good.  Maybe that's why I have too much energy! Haha.  At least having a lot of energy works here in Hollywood! 

Anyways, how's your day been?  My day has been very busy, yet very good!  I've been working on writing for acting.about.com, and I'm super excited for you guys and girls to check out some new articles that will be up soon.  

I love writing.  As is true with acting and singing, it is an art which I have found to be beautiful.  It is expressive and it allows us to share our individuality.  Communication, my friends.  It is awesome.

I encourage all of you to start a blog.  The world would love to read about your experiences!  (At least, I know I'd read your blog!)  Feel free to tweet it to me. :)

I have compiled some suggestions for actors who might be interested in starting a blog.  I'm confident that anyone (actor or not) will find some of the information in this article to be helpful!
Here are some ideas on how to start a blog.  

As always, thank you for reading my blogs, my friends!  You are all beautiful, and you can achieve anything that you put your mind to!

Hey guys and girls!!  

How are all of you DALIENS?!  ;)
 
I actually cannot believe that it's been this long since I've posted to my BehindTheSign blog.  I write every single day, but for some reason I have not posted here since 5/9/15!!  I apologize for that.  I'm back on track now!  

Life can get hectic, as the title of this post reads.  The purpose of today's post, my friends, is to remind you that even when life does get crazy, do the very best that you can to live it up and enjoy each and every moment.  

Try not to let stress get in the way of enjoying this exact second.

You are amazing, and you have the power to create the kind of life that you want.  Creating your dream life involves utilizing each and every second in a positive way!

Don't stress today.  Enjoy today! 

PS!!

1)  New articles will be up on acting.about.com soon!!

2)  A new video will be up on my YouTube channel this week.  Please subscribe!  :)

What's up guys and girls!!  Happy Tuesday morning!  It's about 3AM here in Los Angeles, and it's a beautiful time of the morning.  I'm currently listening to "Calming Ocean Rhythms for Gentle Relaxation and Peace" on my iTunes radio.  Yes, this is 100% true, and yes, this is also really the name of the song that I'm listening to.  
.....Well, I was listening to that.  Literally as I was typing that paragraph, my internet seemed to go out and it messed up my iTunes Radio.  All good, though.  Fortunately I have purchased a plethora of calming music which I'm now listening to.  Haha.

How has your week been treating you so far?  I know that it just started, but I hope that it's been a lovely start.  It is my hope that you're enjoying every moment that you are given.  

While you're reading this post, ask yourself how you feel about your life.  Are you truly happy?  What can you do in order to feel happier, or to feel less stressed, for example?  

As many of my readers know, I believe that happiness and love are two of the most important goals in life.  And I've found that totally embracing who we are allows us to feel a freedom and happiness that only comes from being totally honest.  

When you're honest about who you are, who you love, and what you hope to accomplish in life, everything seems to be much more simple.  

Your vision for your life is extremely powerful.  Aim to visualize yourself as the successful person that you are.  (I wrote about this topic for actors in an article here.)

And I talk a little bit about it in the video below.  

You're amazing, and I hope that you realize this!  Make your dreams come true in your life, and live truthfully!  There is only one of YOU, and you have so much to offer the world!  

Love ya!

My Quote of the Day Is...

5/6/2015

0 Comments

 
"Live it up and love it up."

What's up guys and girls.  How are you on this lovely Wednesday!  It's a beautiful day here in Los Angeles.  It's cloudy, but still very beautiful!  

I've been working on writing, and I took a short break in order to look up some positive quotes for some motivation.  Instinctively, I went to "Google" and began to enter the name of a motivational speaker whom I have much respect for, Joel Osteen.

But I didn't actually hit the "enter" button in order to complete the search.  

I thought to myself, "what quote can I contribute."  

After all, as much as I love reading amazing quotes written by people such as Joel Osteen, it brings me happiness to contribute my own quotes to the world, too! 

Today, I wrote a quote (which I have actually written before as some of you may have noticed) which reads, "live it up and love it up!"

I chose to write this quote because I honestly hope that you choose to live it up and find/share love in your life!!  You're an amazing guy or girl who is reading this, and you have unlimited opportunities to let your light shine in your life.  

Be true to who you are, because that person is amazing.  And there is no one out there who is quite like you.  (This directly applies to acting.  Here's why!)

Talk to you here tomorrow.  Also, please subscribe to my YouTube, and be sure to follow me on Twitter!  LOVE YOU!

One Life!

WHAT'S UP GUYS AND GIRLS!!

It's a cool morning here in California!  I should be more specific:  It's a a very early, cool morning. It's about 12:30AM on Tuesday, May 5th.  As I wrote on May 1st, HOW IS IT MAY?!  I still can't wrap my head around it.  

Is this year going faster than ever??  It certainly feels that way. 

On May 15th of this year, it will mark 6 years since I graduated from Concordia University in Irvine, CA.  That also means that for the past 6 years, I've been working in the entertainment industry full-time.  It has been quite the ride, and those 6 years have flown by.  Super fast!  

So far in my experience, I've been fortunate enough to have met some of the best friends that I could have ever asked for, I've seen things that I never thought I'd see, and I've had more fun than I can even remember.  Literally, I can't even remember some of it.  It's ok, though.  I'm always very responsible. (Kate, if you're reading this post, you can back me up that I never go TOO crazy with partying!)  Hahaha.  (True, true.)

I'm writing about this to remind all of you out there that if you're able to read this post, then you're still alive.  Obvious right?  Yes!  And it's pretty awesome, isn't it?!  Yes!!  

I was listening to a song called, "One LIfe" by Boyce Avenue.  The lyrics in the chorus being with, "Open your eyes, and know you're free to come alive, you've got to live it while you can, We only get one life."  

It's a great song, and it shares a great message.  There is absolutely no time to waste!  In my opinion, happiness, love, relationships, being at the ocean, having mai tais, and having fun should be among the most important goals of life.  Again, that's just my perspective, and I'm sure that many people value other things too, which is fine!  

In order to achieve my goals for life, I've found that it's completely necessary to be in tuned with what my heart is telling me at all times, and in all situations.  I've also found that being true to who I am brings a freedom that allows me to feel happy much of the time!  

Being true to who we are, following our hearts, and loving one another are a recipe for success.  I hope that you agree!  

YOU - yes YOU who is reading this post, deserve to feel happy on your journey!  We only get to take this ride through life once, so LIVE IT UP!!

Remind yourself that you're an amazing guy or girl, and don't let anything or anyone stop you on your way to achieving your goals and your dreams.

PS - This post only took approximately 8 hours to post.  I fell asleep for a few hours - which is annoying because I don't like to sleep!!  You miss out on life!  Haha.

Love ya!

Inspiration Creates Motivation

5/1/2015

Happy Friday, guys and girls!  How are all of you out there in Daleyplanet?!  

Daleyplanet.  Gosh, there are a lot of you beautiful guys and girls out there who are a part of this social media world!  Thank you for being here!  

I honestly feel like I have some of the most amazing social media followers in the entire world of social-media!  Many of you guys and girls have been here with me for several years now throughout my pursuit into the world of entertainment and our friendship means a lot to me.  
You all truly inspire me.  

Inspiration is something that we all need in our lives!  When we are inspired, we are excited.  We are excited about life, and we are excited to be creative.  Inspiration also helps to motivate us to keep moving and keep our creative minds active!  

What kind of life do you hope to live?  What do you hope to create in your life?    

Really think about that question, because you can create the life that you want to live.  This doesn't mean that it's going to be easy, but it's certainly possible.  

Dr. Wayne Dyer writes extensively about getting rid of any "excuses" that may be holding us back from living the life that we desire to live. One of my favorite books of his is titled, "Excuses Begone!"

If you're able to see or hear this message - or even just feel this message within yourself, no matter what situation you may be dealing with - you can achieve your goals.  You are extremely powerful, and you're amazing.

Most importantly, you are unique.  And who you are sets you apart from every other person.  

As my #Daleplanet quote on my twitter reads, embrace your individuality!  

Stay beautiful, live it up, and LOVE IT UP today and everyday!

Be safe this weekend.  (Oh!  I'll have a new YouTube video up this weekend!)

#MAY in LA!!

0 Comments

 
What's up, guys and girls!  It's MAY  2015!  How is it already MAY?!  As you can probably tell, it's quite shocking to me!  

You know how they say that time goes by faster as you get older?  I hate to admit that but I think it's true!  I'm not quite sure why that is.  Schedules, maybe?  Let me know what you think.  

Anyways, I'm writing this - and if you're reading it - it means that we all made it to May 1, 2015! Wooooooo we're still here!  Haha.  It's a beautiful morning here in Los Angeles, and I'm getting ready to visit with my great friend Kate.  

Great Friend Kate.  That's a good name for a show.  (Kate, hopefully you're reading this haha!)

I haven't had any coffee yet, but I am still full of energy.  ENERGY IS GOOD!  Gotta love it.  Still, I'm excited to grab coffee, because Coffee = Life.  

Ah, life.  It's is incredible, isn't it?  I think about this a lot, but when we take a few moments to think about how fortunate we are to have made it to see a new day, it can really create an amazing perspective.  Friends, we have the power to do anything that we set our minds to.  And we have NOW, we have today to start to make it all happen!  (You can start living your dream in about 5 minutes!)  

If you currently feel that you're not living your dream, or if you're thinking about trying something new, start today.  Make the first day in MAY the first day of your new life!  You can do it.   

-- Also guys and girls!  I've got a bunch of new articles up on acting.about.com!  Please check them out if you have a minute!  I share some personal dating info in of the articles -- click here for that one haha!  :O !! HA. 

YOU'RE AWESOME & I LOVE YA!
