"Focus" and "Growth"

So it's been a really long time since I posted, I wish it was due to the fact that I was busy booking work and getting tons of auditions.  Alas, it is not.  I went on a trip to Vegas, which was awesome, but basically I have been submitting myself to any project that fits me, but have only gotten one audition in the last few weeks.  The audition did go very well though.  I didn't get the part, but it was the best I felt coming out of an audition in a long time.  I knew that I had nailed it, and they thought so too.  They emailed me and said that my audition was wonderful, but they decided to go in a different direction with the part.  Now I know they could have just been lying about this whole thing to soften the blow, but they also said they wanted to work with me in the future, hence, growing my contact base and growing as a person.  I also didn't take the rejection personally what so ever,  which brings me to the title and topic of this entry...Focus and Growth.

My sister gave me these stones that are meant to keep me on track with the words "Focus" and "Growth" on them.  I m really taking the words to heart.  I carry them around with me as a reminder of how I am going to keep growing as a person.  Realizing that if I don't get a part doesn't mean I'm not talented, it just means that someone else fit the part a little bit better.  I will also try to remain focused at all times.  If something doesn't further my career or my life in general, why do it?  This has been a great lesson and I thank her for it.

Maybe this positive thinking has sent out some good karmic waves or something because I just found out I have another audition this week, which hopefully I will be able to attend if I can get someone to take my shift at work.  I'll keep everyone updated.  Also, now that my life is a little more stable, I will be updated more again.
