So I had a very serious reality check this week in regards to a flaw in my personality. Â I've been aware of it for quite sometime, and I've come close to sabotaging relationships, jobs, opportunities...you name it. Â I would love to use the excuse that as an actress I'm more overly sensitive, and access my emotions easily than others. Nope! Â I'm not going to lie to myself any longer. Â It's time to nip this in the bud and break the cycle. Â The truth of the matter is that I'm being very self centered. Â There is only a very small percent of the population that is actually out to take advantage of others. Â Most individuals these days are just trying to do the best they can with the resources they have. Â Because of these limited options some folks might have to make a certain choice, conduct themselves in a specific way, have rules and procedures they must follow, etc. Â It's probably no reflection on anyone around them. Â T<span style="background-color: white; ">he backbone of acting consists of learning to put yourself in the shoes of any character you're playing. Â Well....shame on me! Â I should be even more aware of the fact that you never know what's going on with those around you unless well, Â you've walked a mile in their shoes. Â </span><br />
So I've come up with a plan.  I managed to get my original New Years resolution accomplished a little early.  So what if I make what I'm calling a "New 2nd Half of the Years Resolution"?  It's kind of like those accelerated college degrees.  You complete your goal in 6 months instead of a year.  I'm pledging that from now on I will NOT take things so personally.  I'm no longer going to be selfish, and my first reaction will be to look at what the person I feel has hurt me is going through, and the big picture.  It will no longer be about how my feelings were hurt.  I will also make sure that I take 24 hours to assess anything that has made me angry before taking any sort of action because 9.5 times out of 10 I always find that I blow these types of situations way out of proportion.  Hello Mcfly????????????  I think it's about time for this to sink in through my thick skull.<br />
<br />
Happy New 2nd Half of the Year, and please feel free in joining me. Â :)</div>
