Stability

So after I posted my first blog I had a series of texts between a friend of mine discussing stability. Because of this conversation, I started thinking to myself wait a second...does anyone EVER feel stable? I then realized that I think stability is a little like happiness: something you work for but never truly attain. If that's true than we need to approach it with caution and a little more understanding. We all have ups and downs with both happiness and stability, just like we also do with daily feelings. We'll never hit a perfect point where we'll feel we're right at the top for a long period of time. Anything could happen to change how we feel about each situation we approach in life.

So it's really up to US to make ourselves feel comfortable. It's our mindset that creates our environment, just like staying more positive than negative can create better days for us. So I we all need to be true to ourselves about what we really need in life to feel happy, stable, and productive, and do those things. Some things you can control, and some things you can't. The things you can't control you need to try to let go of. Easier said than done, right? definitely. But we can at least TRY to let it go, or focus on trying to slowly let it go. Then it will be easier to take when the bad comes around, and you'll also cherish what you have more while you have it.

For me, it's worrying about losing a job. I think this is something most people think about, and not just entertainers. As a go go dancer, I have to re-audition for my job, and am constantly being scrutinized by my superiors. Now, I can either worry and focus on this, or I can try to let it go and just enjoy what I have while I have it. I already know I do a good job, and that I'm consistently looking at and working on myself. Why should I poison that with worry and doubt? It's only hurting me. No matter how good of an actress I am it will come through in my aura and dancing, and that may contribute to me losing my job sooner!

So I'm going to take my own advice and go to work knowing that I'm very lucky (which I've always felt), and not focusing on the negative that someday I'm going to lose my job, one way or another. Instead, I want to enjoy it while it lasts :)
