Adventure is out there!

My first class was a mix of highly skilled, lightly skilled, and confused performers. I was a member of the latter group. I thought I could sit at the back of the class, take notes on “actor speak” and be done. Well no such luck. I was told, “Here at The Second City we don’t allow people to audit the classes.” I feigned knowledge about what “audit classes” meant and slowly——-very slowly——-it dawned on me: “Shit, I have to do this!” I got up, joined the circle, and started pointing at people and saying their names. Hey—— I can do this….I can…………what? You want me to stand opposite somebody and mirror his movements? What the hell is that going to teach me? Hey—-this isn’t so bad after all. I hear some laughter, giggling……This is kind of fun.! We’re all doing the same stuff so nobody looks like an asshole.

Good

It’s strange, this past week someone has been sending me signs. I have to believe that there is someone out there watching me (not like a peeping tom or stalker or anything), but someone actually looking out for me. Someone is recognizing the good I’m trying to put into this world.

 *I have made some new friends this past week, struck up conversations with unlikely acquiantences. Friends in places I didn’t think I’d find them.So many of these people have been put in front of me to affect my life and change me as a person. Some have affirmed my current beliefs and others have made me question them.-Anthony-Emily-Tootsie-Kyle

*I have never been given something that I couldn’t handle. Sometimes we’re tested but we have to remember that things will get better. We are strong enough to survive anything. 

*The world has to balance itself out. When something negative happens to us, something positive will come. And if things have been really hard for a while, then a whole lot of good is headed our way.

*Many times when faced with decisions we like to take the easy road but that’s not always the right one. Choosing not to be selfish is a hard choice especially when it comes to letting someone go that you care for, but sometimes you have to think of others, because you care about them. What is good for them? I know I can survive, I know I will be okay, but how can I help them be okay?

*I had a friend tell me recently that I was responsible for some really positive things in his life. He said that I was just innately good, that I make him realize his full potential. I was awestruck. Firstly, because I never knew that just by existing and trying to be a good person you could really affect someone’s life like that. Secondly, because I’ve never heard it, no one ever compliments us or is proud of us for just being good. I want to change that.

*But isn’t that what we all need? When we think of the person who we want to be with for the rest of our lives, or shit, even a friend, shouldn’t it be somone who pushes you to be a better person? Someone in our lives that makes us strive to be greater, to do more, and reach our full potential. I want to be that person.  

We are capable of far more than we ever realize.

I feel better and stronger then I’ve felt in months
