Being An Actor Is Actually NOT HARD!
We hear it all the time. “Acting is just soooo hard” and “this is the cruelest industry.” And you know what? I don’t subscribe to that bs.
Like, I literally hit unsubscribe in my brain.
That conversation is soooo boring at this point.
In today’s GuruTip, I want to have a different conversation. I give you a way to start living in the ease that already exists all around you (and I promise it does).
Plus, I’ve got a snappy dinner table response for the haters. 😉
Watch it in this week’s GuruTips right here. ⬇⬇⬇
Let me know in the comments below what you’ll say the next time someone tries to tell you the path you’ve chosen is so haaaard. (eye roll) LOL

1) [The informative answer] Acting is like any other occupation. Although I have some natural talent for it, yes, I’ve had to acquire skills and invest time refining those. But it’s only “hard” for those who don’t consistently WORK at it.
2) [The rebuttal answer] Acting is no harder than any other worthwhile endeavor.
3) [The wise guy answers] Hmm…everything must seem hard to you.
It is, you should avoid it.
I’m sorry, what’s your name again?

I love this reminder. When I moved to NYC (from OK!!) I had people (literally) ask me if I was out of my mind. My response was, “No, actually I think I just found it”!” When we know our “calling” there is no fear, regret, or rolling of the eyes! I have found it critical to surround myself with cheerleaders in the industry like you. Yes, it takes courage but how many people hate their dead-end jobs? (They are usually the ones who roll their eyes at my choice.) I”m thrilled to get paid for something I love to do!
