Hey guys and girls!  How are you?!  I hope you're smiling.  

I've had a wonderful day here in Hollywood!  I've been working more and more with my YouTube Channel, and it has been so much fun.  As I wrote about (and vlogged about,) VidCon 2015 truly inspired me to use the wonderful site of YouTube in order to connect with more of you.  I've also had the opportunities recently (today included!) to work with my friends!!  I'm loving it, and thank you for so much for subscribing to my channel and supporting me on this journey!

Speaking of journeys, your life is all about a journey.  It's your path, your journey, your way. Whatever it is that you would like to achieve while on your journey, it is all possible.  But you cannot give up - ever.

Being an actor, I of course have the opportunity to speak with many fellow actors - and this is especially true while on set.  The majority of them are successful not simply because of "luck," they are successful because they are constantly moving forward; moving toward their goals.  Visions are very important.  

You, my friend, are a successful guy or girl who is reading this.  I already know this.  But all that really matters is that you see yourself as being the successful person that you are.  Regardless of whether or not you're an actor, check out this article about seeing yourself as the success that you already are.

Lots of love, friends!  Talk soon!

PS - I'll be uploading several pieces of writing to acting.about.com later tonight/tomorrow!  I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd check them out.  xxxx

Hey guys and girls!!

So, VidCon 2015 was amazing.  Seriously, it was mind-blowingly awesome, and I am in love with New Media haha. There are so many incredible people that I had the privilege of meeting!    As some of you have already seen, I posted a YouTube video about my experience at VidCon this year, and you can watch it below!

As I discuss in my video, YouTube and social media fascinates me.  Obviously it has been around for a while now, and yes, there are certain aspects of it all that are somewhat intense, such as the speed of it all!  But it is the people that make videos that are turning this digital platform into a way for everyone to share their voice, and hopefully, do something positive for the world.  

Everyone that I met at VidCon was friendly.  Honestly, everyone!  The world of New Media is full of fun people who are excited to be doing what they love to do.   As I also point out in my new video on YouTube, I suggest that you start a YouTube channel!  Especially if you're interested in the entertainment biz, New Media is becoming a driving force in our industry.  (To read more about this, click here!)  


Share your voice, my friends.  Because you're on DaleyPlanet, I already know that you're a kind soul. Share your love with the world!

I started this post at midnight, and am just posting now hahah - 

Hey guys and girls!!  As many of you know all too well, I sleep very random hours.  It's just after midnight now here in Hollywood, and I thought I'd take to my blog, say what's up, and share some thoughts with ya!

I just glanced down at my clock and calendar, and I am stunned to see that it's July 23rd.  Why does life go by so fast?!  It's crazy!  And it's too fast, my friends!  Life moves so quickly, and I believe that it's very important to try to live it up every single day.  The thought that I want to share with you this morning is similar to what I often discuss; to utilize every moment to aim to feel happy, and to pursue your dream.  And if you're struggling with something, now is the time to help put it behind you.      

We are all struggling with something.  But life is too short and moves far too quickly to struggle unnecessarily.  We must take control, take charge of what is hurting us, and holding us back.      
Facing a difficulty or a "challenge" head-on, rather than trying to avoid it is much more helpful in the long run.  Avoiding something doesn't make it simply go away.  All that avoidance really does is delay your having to deal with whatever it is that is troubling you until a later date.  And all that time goes by!  Don't let that happen!    

The good news however is that we always have a choice.  Regardless of what we may be facing on any given day, confronting and accepting something that is bothering us allows us to take some control.  Are you having financial issues, for example? Are you avoiding dealing with some sort of break-up, or relationship issue?  Anxiety/depression/illness?  Or maybe you're struggling with a inner battle, such as considering "coming out" as LGBT, and maybe you are afraid?  Possibly you don't know if you should "come out" or what the best way to do it would be.                

There are many examples that I could list.  But the point is that we all have things that we carry with us, each and every day.  Some of these issues are never able to be seen by another person.  I can sit here and remind you time and time again how beautiful and amazing/unique you are.  But you must see it yourself!  Don't suffer in silence.  What is important to remember is that whatever sort of struggle you may be going through, you're not alone. You are never alone!  We are all human and deal with similar issues.  There's never a need to feel upset or struggle through something on your own.    

There are resources to help you through struggles.  I urge you to not be afraid to talk about your feelings with friends/family. 
  
And remember that you've always got a friend here on Daleyplanet.  <3

Here's to happiness - and a new day with a fresh opportunity to feel good!

Hey guys and girls!  Happy Sunday evening from Southern California!  It has been another beautiful weekend out here, and it was HOT this weekend!  I absolutely love the heat and I love being in the sunshine.  If you like these things too, I suggest that you come out here to SoCal, we'll grab coffee, and live the dream!  Haha.  

Southern California is known for always being on the move.  It's one of the reasons why this state is so incredible!  I'm coming up on my 10 year California-anniversary and I can't believe that all of this time has gone by!  It's been an incredible 10 years, and ever since I moved out here, I've been on the move toward my goals and dreams.  You can be, too - no matter where you live!

If you do something every single day toward your goal, you can rest east at night knowing that you're another day closer to your dream life.  In fact, by simply deciding that you WILL make your dream your reality, you'll essentially already be living the life that you dream about.  I write a lot about moving toward your goals and dreams on acting.about.com.  Please head on over there if you'd like to read more!

What else can we chat about here?  - How was your weekend?  Feel free to leave a comment below, tweet me, or comment on my latest YouTube video!  I do my best to get back to all of you!  

Guys and girls, as I mentioned in my last blog post, thank you.  Thank you for constantly inspiring me and thank you for being my friends.  I truly love you all!

...it rained in L.A. today.  In case you thought it was just a rumor, IT RAINED A LOT!  I was with my friends Lucas, Kate and Matthew in Santa Monica and it literally down-poured on us!!  Check my snapchat (@jessedaley) for a little video hahah.  Gosh, we need the rain though!!  It's good to be able to put a little dent in the California drought!  

How is your weekend going, guys and girls?!  I hope it is a great one!  Today, try and take a couple of minutes to think about what you're thankful for.  There is so much to be thankful for.

Also, I'd recommend that you remind yourself that anything is possible, and your dream can become your reality.  You're a beautiful guy or girl who is reading this, and you can do anything that you dream of through hard work and faith.  (Check acting.about.com for more on how to make your dream your reality.)  

Oh!  I've got a new YouTube video up.  It's posted below.  

As I challenged you above, I have something to say that I'm thankful for:  Thank you for always being so kind and for your friendship.  Love you all!

I really want to stop time.  How does it go so quickly?!  Really guys and girls, can someone give me a suggestion about how to slow it down a bit??  Haha.  I've posted blog entries about this before.  You know, the good news is, (as the old saying goes,) "time flies when you are having fun."  


I can honestly say that my experience in Hollywood has been the most fun, rewarding time of my life. I'm still young, but even if everything had to end today, I know that I would have no regrets.  This is because I have tried my absolute best to live truthfully, be in the moment, and enjoy every moment of the time that I have been given.  This is not always easy to do, of course.  Life can be very hard. But we all have the power within us to make a choice:  Stay positive or be negative.  

Whether we decide to stay positive or be negative, the day is still going to be here.  So, why not decide to do your best to keep moving and stay as positive as possible, even when times are difficult?  Aim to find the good in all situations, my friends.  Even when life is extremely hard, there is something positive that can be found if you look for it.    

Stay happy.  Remind yourself that you're beautiful and that you can achieve anything that you decide to do!

Love you!

PS - New articles coming on acting.about.com this week!

PPS - A new YouTube video will be up this week, too! :)

Good morning, guys and girls!  I'm currently writing this post from Orange County, where MAMA DALEY lives!  It's approximately 4AM and I am up writing for my blogs.  Writing is therapeutic, and I truly love it.  It's funny being back here in the OC.  This county reminds me of a simpler time in my life.  I moved here 10 years ago from Massachusetts to start college in Irvine.  My college days were incredible, and now, years later when I have an apartment up in Hollywood and am working in entertainment, the same city where I attended college is now where my mom lives!  The OC.  A beautiful, yet wild place!  

(By the way, a musical is currently being made about the TV show, "The OC" !  I'm certainly going to try to audition for this one!)
  
Being with my family and my friends here in the OC is a gift.  As I write about often on acting.about.com and mention regularly on my YouTube channel, we only have one life, one shot! It's important to live it up every single day.  The people who are a part of my life help me to do just that; they inspire me all of the time.  Many of my friends are artists.  In fact, I have more friends who are artists than I can count!  And what I find to be the most beautiful aspect about these men and women is that they are extremely passionate about their work and their lives, and they will not stop moving until they achieve their goals.  Artists are awesome beings, aren't they?!  Haha.  

Friends, (whether you're an artist or not!) I am extremely fortunate to know you.  You are powerful, amazing, and you can't be stopped from reaching your full potential - unless you stop yourself.   

If you've got a couple of seconds, take a few moments to think about why you feel fortunate.  And feel free to leave a comment below! :)

Always Be You, Keep Moving Forward, and Never Give Up!

What's up guys and girls!  Happy JULY!!  What the heck?!  How is it already July 2015??  I suppose I say that every month haha.  It really is crazy though how quickly time passes.  It's another reason why we must live it up every possible chance that we can - because time flies, and we only live once!

June was quite a remarkable month, wasn't it?  Lots of things happened, including of course, legalizing marriage in the USA for everyone!!  I am so proud of my country.  I believe that love is love, and whoever is reading this, go for the guy or girl who you love!  Don't wait.  
Who to marry...that is the question.  :D

Independence Day is right around the corner now, and I'm heading to Palm Springs to celebrate with some of my close friends!  What are all of you up to?  Feel free to leave a comment below and tell me what you're up to!  

In other new from DALEYPLANET, I've posted several new articles to acting.about.com, and if you have a minute to go and check them out, I'd love to hear what you think!  

I've also posted another YouTube video with my cat, Benice Begas.  He is pretty awesome, isn't he?! In this video, you may or may not be proposed to.  Check it out below!

Stay true to who you are,

Love you!
