A Sure Way To "Discharge" Pain and Discomfort

Are you an actor, or an artist, or a PERSON, and Are you looking to get rid of your Pain and Discomfort?

I'm about to show you a way that does exactly that- INSTANTLY.

But you shouldn't use it.

You shouldn't use it because it actually robs you of the very thing that will make you change, grow and make you take action to make a difference.

When you have pain and discomfort, you are often motivated to change something. Whether it's the situation, how you see it, or yourself- changing something is a way to overcome it.

But most people use this technique instead.

And it gets them results.
It gets them results that relieve the pain and discomfort, but still leaves the problem.

It's called BLAME.

If something isn't working out, if you can't seem to get on top of something, or overcome something, you can just BLAME someone or something else.

And your pain and discomfort is magically..."discharged".

Here's the thing- you're probably wondering why I came to this conclusion, but it isn't mine. It's from Brene Brown and her two TED talks.





You kinda have to see them together, one after the next, and this little nugget of wisdom is sandwiched in between her talk about VULNERABILITY.

That's a whole other topic, but let me say this on it:
If you're an actor or an artist, your TRUE art only reveals itself when you're SCARED of what it will reveal about you and your soul.

The rest is funny faces... which I love too! :-D

Where does Passion Live?

Someone was recently telling me how musical theatre is all cheesy and ridiculous, and they can't really believe when people break into song.

I decided that this person had never been exposed to the real deal.

Of course a lot of it is cheese-ball hysterics and love platitude rhymes, but some of it- the REAL DEAL of it- is soul-filling love, heart-wrenching sadness, and spiritually-enlarging PASSION.

Yes, this is the cliche clip to pick but how can you watch this and not know how she feels?

1982 Tony Awards: Jennifer Holliday sings "And I'm Telling You" Dreamgirls - YouTube: ""

Maybe if you've never felt like this you have no idea what's happening here.

Maybe you just see someone singing LOUD and yelling for a paying audience, but when you KNOW what she's singing about, you FEEL IT.

Even more, when you are a performer, you WANT to get into a state like this, you WANT to take the emotions, and bring them forward so that someone on the other side of the 4th wall feels it.

The music and lyrics are NOT ENOUGH without the performer.

Do YOU do anything with this much passion?
Could you INSPIRE that much passion in someone else?
Could you EXPRESS this much passion in something or someone?

I don't know about you, but this brought me to tears, and that was after watching 4 different versions of it BEFORE I chose to write this.

I hope something brings you to tears today, and even better, that you bring them to someone else!

SHARE THIS if you believe in PASSION.

The Actor Story That Made Me Cry While Telling It

Yes, I am crying over an Actor Story... more specifically, a STAR TREK ACTOR Story.
Maybe it's just my hormones, but I saw a video that really touched me, and I knew it was going viral, but I happened to know a few back story points that I knew a lot of people didn't know...

I just told you the whole story, but in case you want to see the videos themselves, which are super-inspiring and passionate:

This is the Viral Whoopi Goldberg video that got me started:


And here's a video of Nichelle Nichols talking about her encounter with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
This video will put YOUR ENTIRE LIFE into perspective by the time it's over:


Nichelle Nichols' Encounter With Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

C'Mon, after you hear all of THAT, how can you NOT keep going?

When Love Makes You Sad

Has your love for something ever made you sad?

Maybe I missed the really inspirational part of this, but the line about the sadness of love hit me really hard.
Lately I've been thinking about that the more I love something, the more obvious it is that it will end in some fashion, because everything does...

Some people will choose therefore to not love, so it doesn't hgurt as much. That's definitely one
way to avoid the pain...



Existential Bummer - YouTube:

But you already know that I'm going to tell you to "Love Anyway", and that "It's better to have
loved and lost, than to not have loved at all", but that's actually not a way to avoid the pain, is it?

What if instead, we challenged ourselves to love more, and love longer, and love deeper, only because we know that the pain will be SO much stronger, and we can CHOOSE to deepen the pain even more?

What if you chose to enjoy the pain of loss because it meant you loved deeply?

What if you could be PROUD of yourself for the pain you feel because you knew it meant you loved as much as you could?

Wouldn't THAT be a worthy way to be sad?

Well, he did it.

When you're big enough, you can do whatever you want, and Bryan Cranston, thanks to his huge success as Walter White from Breaking Bad is big enough.

Right now.

He hired his old co-star from Malcolm in The Middle, Jane Kaczmarek to do a little scene with him, waking up as if he'd dreamt that Breaking Bad was just a dream.

The fans wanted it, and he delivered:

So, the question is, when you STOP WAITING, and get on with it, what will YOU do with your free time?

Will you be an artist, or will you hang out a lot?
Me? I do both, I guess!
