Good morning
beautiful people! ☀ I’m here this morning to talk a little bit about expectations.
We all have them. Some of us think we should lower ours. Others live by the mantra
of having none. But expectations can be a good tool for success, if used
properly. It begins with control. So much of what we gain out of experiences depends entirely on what we're willing to put into them. What we are willing to give of ourselves. Because here's an ugly truth: nothing is guaranteed in this career. Rarely will things be
given to you other than constructive criticism, advice, guidance for navigating
the industry, etc. So this is where you must take control and put in the work. Match the opportunities you're given with the effort you put in.
I get it. It can be discouraging at times. This is why it's important to remember that only you have the power to control the outcome of your progress, as
a human being and as an artist. And only you know your own body. You know what you
need to do in order to be able to give 100%. And you know on which days you won’t be
that. But if we enter spaces with a willingness to learn, to
create, and to grow, our experiences will begin to change. Having an openness
as an artist is one of the best things you can have. A willingness to be vulnerable, accept fear, and push past it. This becomes crucial as we
engage with one another as humans, and enter spaces to make art and share movement. Always be willing to move deeper!! -- Just my two cents. Happy Hump Day! J
Peace & love,
MSB
