An actor needs it. Don't doubt it, don't make excuses. It's needed. And I'm starting to appreciate the discipline I've learned from my teachers before me and from the shows I've done previously.
And also, it's time for me to take some more risks. It's also time for me to refocus my thinking and not focus on the bad energy instead of the good. I just don't really trust myself and want someone else's approval when all I need is my own.
Trust.
Discipline.
I cannot emphasize discipline enough. I may be exhausted from going to two schools. But that's discipline. That's what an actor does.

Yes, Risks, discipline, thats so true!!
I would think that when you are in the acting business, that you have a choice. Either you want to act or you don't. Either you take the risk, or play it safe.
When you play it safe either you get the roll because you play it safe, or you don't get the roll because you played it safe or they don't or do like you.
When you take a risk, there are the same options.
But when you take a risk, there is a way higher percent that the audience or auditioner will like you, because it's DIFFERENT.
And wouldn't you rather be turned down knowing you did you best, rather than knowing you could have done better?
You helped me realize that! But it still must be so hard to just get out there and actually put that thinking to the test. And yeah, discipline. So true. Great post.
