There Is Always A Reason

Good (early) morning and Happy Wednesday, guys and girls!  How's the week been treating you so far?  I recently returned to the "mainland" of California after a beautiful Labor Day weekend on Catalina Island!  If you haven't been there, try to make it a point to go!  It's absolutely stunning!

While I was over on the island, I thought a lot about my life, and about some of the choices that I've made so far in my life and in my career.  Clearly as many of you know, I love to think and reflect about life.  Sometimes it totally baffles my mind about how amazing life really is.  

Although times can certainly become tough and stressful, we must not lose sight of the beauty of the day.  Through the struggles and the amazing times in your life, keep reminding yourself that there is always a reason for why something is or is not happening.  Although you might not know what that reason is right now, it will become clear to you as time moves on.  There are no mistakes.

I constantly remind my actor friends to keep moving - through the ups and the downs of the industry.  (I especially write about this topic on acting.about.com!)  But regardless of whether you're an actor or not, know that you are special, and that no matter what you may be facing today, you can face it bravely, and you will learn from every experience that you have.  I feel very blessed to be able to share my thoughts about life and following dreams with all of you.  I truly appreciate all of your support in my career as an actor, writer, and just your overall friendship!   

Everything happens for a reason.  Today, remind yourself of several reasons to feel happy.  I'll give you one reason: You're beautiful;  Just the way you are!  :) 

^^ I love that song ha!
