  Gratitude is so important, and I just want to remind you of that because if you're unhappy with something you can't keep complaining about what you're unhappy about as you're going to get more of that. If you practice being grateful for what you have and what you desire that will eventually come to you. It’s the universal law.

  What you put out comes back, what you water grows. So, if you're constantly feeding your mind, and watering the thoughts of what you don't have, how you're not booking, or saying to yourself I'm not gonna get this, not gonna get that, I don't have enough credits, etc. I've been there, done that. If you don't know my story, I talked about it when you go through the modules in TWAA.

  Instead, feed your mind and water your thoughts with positive affirming statements to build you up instead of tearing yourself down. Keep in mind manifestation goes both ways, not just in all the good, great, glorious things, you also manifest your life, you manifest everything that's around you, you manifest all of the things that you think about.

  Having the “Attitude of Gratitude” is what completely changed my life.

  When I lived in a tiny apartment, I hated it so much and that’s all I talked about was how much I couldn't wait to move. Then, I shifted my focus and I started being grateful for it. Even though I wanted a bigger place. I stopped focusing on what I didn’t have, and only focused on what I currently did have, felt the gratitude for it, and visualized what my future place would be. What shifted? My intention. I even stated to speak about my apartment from a positive place instead of a negative one. That is what brought me to my (now) big, beautiful place by the beach.

  No matter what it is, you have to be grateful for everything that you have. I don't care how big or how small it is, you have to have gratitude for it. Be grateful for the work you’re putting in now that is preparing you for your future bookings!!! Really visualize and focus on what it is that you want.

  If you want to see yourself on TV & Film sets, in the makeup room, in your trailer, and have a director’s chair with your name on it. #VisualizeIt Imagine sitting in your trailer, going over your lines and preparing for your role. Everyone on set is excited to have you and can’t wait to work with you. When you walk to the set the director says, “we are so happy you’re here,” “looking forward to working with you.” Visualize delivering your best performance.

  Visualize it, believe it, and it will happen. I am a living witness of it. That's what changed my life for the better. “Attitude of Gratitude” never forget that.

  Love you guys.

  Bye
