The last four weeks have been super slow, especially for my category. I've probably only been on four auditions within that time. Still a blessing but not the normal, every week, every day, two to four auditions a day I'm used to. I'm so thankful that I have not been in a worried state. No time for that. GOD is good and I can't complain. Sure I want to be auditioning and working constantly but sometimes GOD gives us time needed to perfect other areas of our life. I've been able to get back on my work out regimen, utilize more of my creative side and am just giving time to other things that need attention that can only contribute to my success in the business and more importantly, as a person.
During this time, I've also noticed how some of my counterparts are super busy doing the same. Putting their time and effort into things to enhance their career. Aside from that they may be doing other good works that don't even pertain to acting or modeling. I don't envy that, I want to do more work outside of my career goals. But busy doesn't always mean productive. In terms of what GOD's purpose is for you here on earth, I think its important that we focus on the message we are trying to get across when we are doing so much.
Trust, I certainly could be doing alot more toward standing out and making things happen in my life as well as the life of others. But I think it's important not to forget to work within so that your efforts aren't seen in a self-gratifying way. It may not appear immediately to others, but GOD knows your heart and eventually, the truth reveals itself. Sometimes we are working so hard to help others because that is what GOD wants us to do but its important that we don't forget to help ourselves.
So many times I've seen unhappy, judgemental people doing so much charity for others but have not took the time to raise awareness for themselves and make sure they are doing ok. Alot of times, they don't even realize it. And that's an issue. How can you truly know GOD and what he wants for your life if you don't even realize that you don't carry the spirit of GOD within you wholeheartedly.
I'm sure a lot of us have fell victim to it. I'm certainly no exclusion. To truly help someone is to help yourself. When you know better, you do better.
Remember, just because you are doing things in the NAME of the LORD doesn't mean you please HIM.
Until Next Time ... Give back to YOU so that what you give to others is in not in vain.
