Practice Makes Perfect!

Hey Everybody!

I know it has been FOREVER since I have been on here. But I am back - BETTER THAN EVER! I've got a new attitude and a bunch of fresh ideas. I have been doing a lot of hustlin' and a little soul searchin' and I am ready to share insight, inspiration and information with you. Sorry I have been away, I promise not to leave you again...

THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Practice makes perfect!

When we first start a new project or learning a new skill, the task can seem gigantic! We make mistakes, we fail, we can really suck. But after a time, we get better. Practicing, learning, improving is what separates the experts from the amateurs. Do you think MJ came out the womb dunking basketballs? No! It took thousands of hours of practice to get to the level he achieved. Do you think the other MJ came out moonwalkin' in diapers? Ok, well maybe he did (smile). But the point is, it may be tedious, it may get boring, it may seem like it's going to be forever before we reach where we want to be...but keep going!! The reward is just around the corner. I have to keep telling myself this everyday.

Right now, I am working on my accents and my singing on my own time. I have to motivate myself to practice everyday. You never know what the next role might require and I want to be ready!



Stay focused and hopeful!
