I’ve jumped back in to the regular look-for-gigs work of a performance artist. Locally, I’m going to be in Theater Tulsa’s production of Long Day’s Journey Into Night as Jamie and this fall I get to sing with the Tulsa Opera.
I’m very excited. I feel like I’m finally stripping away the running from self.
I run from self, but I do it by coming up with other really ambitious things to do.
I have an idea for a cool bookstore. I don’t really want a bookstore. I want to perform. But I pursue the bookstore idea.
I have an idea for a cool pub. I don’t really want a pub. I want to perform. But I pursue the pub idea.
I have an idea for a cool freelance writing career. I don’t really want a freelance writing career. I want to perform. But I pursue the freelance writing career idea.
When all I want is to entertain people.
Shaking that off I move forward and am so excited. I keep getting up from my desk, turning up the iTunes and dancing singing my Meatloaf, Pink and Motown at the top of my lungs.
It’s great! It’s better than I’ve felt in a while.
What about you? What are you avoiding that would make you happy? Maybe we can pursue happiness together!
As a freelance writer, I can certainly relate to the emotion in this post. Sometimes, I just want to do something else.
But, I’m so knowledgeable and have over three million views on my page. What could I possibly do to occupy that time?…lol I definately need to find some other type of happiness. Thanks for sharing!
