Life Direction

IN MY OPINION;

WILLIAM REYNOLDS

CHANGING YOUR LIFE'S DIRECTION; 

This is easy to forget while you’re hustling for your next gig, but it’s an important step of the journey. Before you get too deep into your next film, even an extra role, take a beat and reflect. What have you accomplished so far, and what do you want to accomplish next? What goals did you have in your last gig, and which are still left to hit?

When you look at those goals you achieved and those you did not, try to figure out what was missing, be it time, interest, a skill set (training) or just a change in priorities. Do the same quick audit for those you did accomplish—there will likely be some patterns as to why you focused on certain areas and how much progress you were able to make. If your interests have changed, honor that in your next gig. Think about which projects made you happiest, in and outside of work. Take advantage of this new mind set while it lasts, and think. And don't get caught up with this, "I'm probably too old". yeah sure you are. The oldest person we've ever booked was 88 and a ton between 50 and 65.  I remember not too long after I had started Law school, a person that I knew fairly well said. " You know I'd like to go to law school too, but I will be over 40 when I finish."  My response "Well you'r going to over 40 anyway". He still didn't get it, stayed doing the same old same old, and sure enough if he's lucky, he will be over 40, but likely to still be doing the same thing.
