How Your Attitude Affects Your Results

I think We all agree that the Entertainment industry is like no other.  What is widely missing for many actors is the ability to check their own Emotional Temperature (attitude) day by day, moment by moment, minute by minute and so forth.

I watch athlete’s constantly.  When they arrived at the game they are ready to go!  Whatever has happened prior to the game is to no avail while they are preforming.  In many cases even energies no stop them.  They possess a not going to affect my game attitude.

Olympic diver Greg Louganis had hit his head during one of his dives.  Unbeknownst to those watching Greg had been diagnosis with HIV.  One dive later he is on the podium receiving his Gold Metal.  Kolby Bryant was facing rape charges and a relentless Media .   Never appeared to bother him, he scored more points during the scandal than he did prior to the scandal.

What can we learn from athlete’s?  Attitude, attitude, attitude!   In generally actors spend too much time complaining, gripping, self thoathing, criticizing, and the W word Worrying.  And there is no shortage of teachers, managers, family members and so called industry professionals willing to engage in the madness with you.  Cut it out!  Be aware of your emotional temperature at all times.  Typically a pissed off person never books and when they do its Hell on those around them.  Pissed is an energy; first cousins to anger, discouragement, depression and much, much more.  And it’s Hell on the body.  Anger is a leading cause of some Cancers.  Ever hear the term, “They worried themselves to death”?

All actors check your emotional temperature all day every day.  The town that I was raised in said, a bad attitude blocked your blessings.  Yes, there are always exceptions to the rule.  I guess if you are always going to be pissed enjoy your Chemo Theraphy! 

Throw away words or terms such as I am having a bad day, I have to work so hard, nobody is doing anything for me therefore, I have to do it myself (victim)and the real blessings blocker, is this term  I am not getting, the more you use it, the more it rains true in your life. (Again, victim)!  

Yes, we have challenges in our lives however we choose the emotions that we attach to the challenges.
