Broken Boundaries... move beyond your normal!
In acting... in writing... in life there are always limits that we bump up against. When this happens we have two simple choices: back down, stick with the status quo or decide to break through & level UP!
Lately I've been executive producing a new feature film, which is a new challenge for me since the completion of my webseries, Metronome. Everything was going as planned, and then 5 days before production was set to begin we were forced to fire one of our lead actors. This had never happened before, the actor was understandably upset, but we had lost faith in his ability to show up for production. He then proceeded to insult not only me & my producers, but the project as well. It was a tremendous let down to be so close to shooting & then have to postpone production until we could recast the project.
I absolutely had to take a step back... I just really needed a breather. After a few days I was able to regain my motivation, regain my sense of creativity & momentum. Looking back on everything, it was an important lesson in breaking through boundaries. Anything we do in life has road-blocks, some more so than others, but the bigger the goal, the more roadblocks you're going to encounter. It's almost a guarantee! What matters most is that you remind yourself why you started when you're staring those road blocks in the face!
Take a deep breath & yell ONWARD!!!
