2. You love the work wherever and whenever you’re doing it and you don't complain(at least not the producer's ear). You bring your love of acting to the audition room, set, rehearsal and you carry your love of the work into every experience. You relish it.
3. You do everything you can to be prepared. You know your lines. You do your homework. You do it to get out of your own way.
4. You’re generous to yourselves, you look out for the best things for yourself, You give yourselves a break. You manage your expectations.
5. You don't apologize for being you, and you’re willing to applaud yourself even when others raise accusing fingers. You turn limiting beliefs into empowering ones.
6. You focus on others, not on what they think of you but on what their needs might truly be especially when working. We are all your audience and you’re there to offer yourself and your work to us in performance, in collaboration, in a shared adventure.
7. You train, you study, you work out to look good and stay healthy. You continue to develop your craft. You get that being in shape is what gives you the edge to compete and the freedom to fly.
8. You live full lives; you know how to party when you choose to. You are open-minded and accommodating.
9. You’re proactive and deeply creative. You take responsibility for your work, your success, and yourself.
10. You’re willing to fight for the best of the job because you know if the job comes out well, its best for you.
11. You take risks in spite of your terror, on set, locations. The risks fuel you. You do what others cringe when watching on TV.
12. You’re courageous. You embrace the struggle and find a way to love it, knowing that the creative spirit grows from battling through the night, that this is the force with which we create. You're willing to do whatever it takes. (You have reduced sleeping around with 'those that matters' or using juju, lol). You know that what really matters is your talent, attitude and looks.
13. You’re about the work, first; knowing that career will follow and not the other way around. Dedicated work leads to good work. Good work leads to great work. Great work is thrilling, Great work is noticed, Celebrated, Hired and money follows.
14. You know how damned lucky you are to have chosen this thing, this thing that is generated from the fire within you. You’re blessed to be on this journey.
15. Above all, you realize it isn't all about the money(though I know you have got bills to pay), you know that, this career is passion driven and financial satisfaction would only come when you have taken you act to a certain level.
ONE THING I DISLIKE ABOUT YOU is, you take all the glory and fame when the film is marvelous despite the fact that the guys behind the scene are really the ones working their ass off.
