Acting Without the Drama

June 29, 2009.  So, more good stuff happening in my life.  Strangely, my typical response is to curl up in a little ball, stick my fingers in my ears and go, “Na, na, na, na, na!”

Maybe that’s why the good stuff dissapears so often.

The universe typically gives us what we ask for.  When we ask for the good stuff to go away, it generally does.

I would like to not do that any longer.

So, here’s what I propose.  I’m thinking that we can all take the opportunity to simply be grateful for the good things that happen.  I am grateful today that the head of marketing for a huge studio thinks I have an amazing movie trailer voice.  I am grateful that our production company has an imdb page.  I’m grateful that industry professionals are looking at our work.

I’m also grateful that I have an amazing wife, amazing kids, an amazing business partner.

I have an amazing life.

And I’m grateful.  The freak outs don’t have to happen.  The na, na, na’s can stop.  The voices that are sure that we don’t deserve this can quiet down and know that everything’s going to be all right.

Because they’re right.  We don’t deserve this.

We’ve earned it.

And those are two very different things.
