A WOW! for today (Adam's Words of Wisdom)
Believing in dreams.
This afternoon, I will be facing over 25 young men and women who are coming to audition for leading roles in my next film. Some are local and some are even flying in. Over the last few days, they have been communicating with me about the auditions and what is expected.
With each one, I can hear the excitement and nervousness at the event coming up. On my last communication to each, I ended the email with:
"Believe it or not, I want you to walk in and get the part more than you do!! I want to get the film cast and start working on all the other million things to be done. I want to feel good about who we have hired and feel confident that we have made the right choice."
To my surprise one young man wrote back:
"I have to say that I disagree with one part of your last email though... There is no way you want me to get this part more than I want it. I am a very serious, hard working actor and I have been making films my whole life. I have yet to star in a feature and I couldn't imagine one more fun to be my first."
It reminded me once again of how important this is for each of them. They will be holding out their hopes and dreams and hearts in their hands for me to decide and choose from. That is not an easy thing for them to do and that is not an easy thing for me to decide and judge.
I think back to the many auditions I went to and never heard back.
The contests entered.
The speech competitions.
The job applications.
Asking someone out on a date.
Buying a lottery ticket.
Asking for a raise.
So many dreams. Some came true, but so many did not.
But just like all of the young people I will be seeing today, you still have to believe. You have got to keep putting yourself out there - EVERY DAY!
It's hard. Sometimes the biggest challenge may be just getting out of bed and facing a tough day.
But how are your dreams ever going to come true if you don't believe in them - and more importantly - in yourself?

Science is based on tested proof or empirical evidence.
You conduct a test or an experiment and then observe the results.
Nothing beats actual proof.
Like science, life will give you proof that dreams can - and WILL - come true.
If you "do the work" - if you dream - plan - motivate - act - then you will see the proof that it works by the results that life brings you.
Do the work - strive to reach your goals - and let life show you the clear proof of victory.
Showing such proof is the mark of a true successor.

Cowardice is harmful. It leads to fear. It leads to a lack of action. It leads to self-doubt.
We have been told all our lives -
"Don't do that. It is wrong."
"Stop dreaming and do what you are supposed to do."
"Don't try that. You will fail."
"Don't ask more. You will never get it."
"Stop being so selfish."
"Don't be so happy. It is fleeting."
"Don't hope. You will only be disappointed."
"You can't do that."
"You will only get hurt."
"Protect yourself.'
If you are a coward - if you are afraid - you can never savor the true benefit of seeing your dreams come true. You can never enjoy that sensation of knowing you aimed for your dreams and believed in them.
Bravery and believing in yourself will make your dreams come true. They will make your goals attainable. They will make you go after any and all things that you want to accomplish in your lifetime.
Tap into the power of bravery. Tap into the power of believing in yourself. Tap into the power that you deserve it all.
And your dreams will come true.
Not because you can - because you WILL!

Death will come to each of us some day.
You can die having fought hard for your beliefs and convictions, or you can die having failed to do so.
Since the reality of death is the same in either case, isn't it far better that you set out to make sure that when the final day comes you are in high spirits and have a bright smile on your face?
Isn't it far better to know that you went after your dreams. You made things happen in your life? You have no regrets and no missed opportunities?
Isn't far better to leave this world knowing that in everything you did, you did the very best you could, thrilling with the sense "That was truly a wonderful and interesting life"?"
So live that way and truly give the full meaning to the word - "LIVE".
it is a far, far better thing to do .....

You can do this!
There are times when you will feel over whelmed.
I personally am getting a full feature film ready to shoot in July, casting, planning, marketing, etc. that I will be directing too.
I am about to get a new house in a beautiful location - and dealing with the stress of all of that plus the move.
I have a company that I need to keep "a float" and make sure income keeps coming in.
I have a partner that I need and want to keep happy and not be neglected.
All of this and more!!!
How do I do it?
Only by doing one thing at a time.
My thoughts are every where - scattered and erratic. When something comes up, I have to add it to my growing list BUT then I deal with it when I finish the task at hand.
Even though we all think we are capable of "multi-tasking" - we can not do this. You can ONLY handle one thing at a time. It may be quick. It may need more focus. It may be daunting. But you can only handle that one thing.
But take the stress and the feeling of "too much to do" and turn it into energy and excitement. You can do this!
What a great life! Full. Fast. Changing. Challenging.
KNOW that you will succeed and be fine. KNOW that you can do this and it will be awesome.
KNOW that - and you will be fine.
It's not because you CAN - it is because you WILL!!!
