Cultivate gratitude. Carve out an hour a day for solitude. Begin and end the day with prayer, meditation and reflection. Keep it simple. Don’t over-schedule. Strive for realistic deadlines. Never make a promise you can’t keep. Allow an extra half hour for everything you do. Create quiet surroundings at home and at work. Go to bed at nine o’clock twice a week. Always carry something interesting to read. Breathe.. deeply and often. Move.. walk, dance, run, find a sport you enjoy. Drink pure spring water. Lots of it. Eat only when hungry. If it’s not delicious, don’t eat it. Be instead of Do.. Set aside one day a week for rest and renewal. Laugh more often. Luxuriate your senses. Always opt for comfort. If you don’t love it, live without it. Let Mother Nature nurture. Don’t answer the telephone during dinner. Stop trying to please everybody. Start pleasing yourself. Stay away from negative people. Don’t squander precious resources: time, creative energy, emotion. Nurture friendships. Don’t be afraid of your passion. Approach problems as challenges. Honor your aspirations. Set achievable goals. Surrender expectations. Savor beauty. Create boundaries. For every “yes”, let there be a “no”. Don’t worry, be happy. Remember, happiness is a living emotion. Exchange security for serenity. Care for your soul. Cherish your dreams. Express love every day. Search for your authentic self.

‘Today most actors simply want to be famous. Well being an actor was never supposed to be about fame and money. Being an actor is a religious calling because you’ve been given the ability, the gift to inspire humanity. Think about that on the way to your soap opera audition.’ Sanford Meisner.
