The Great Acting Blog: “Choose Good Habits Of Work And Thought”

Confidence, focus, technique, practical philosophy. They’re all a choice. We can choose to have them, or we can choose not to have them as the case may be.

Without good habits of work and without good habits of thought though, you won’t get very far, the field is just too crowded and competitive. Perhaps you think you can rely on luck, and you may even get lucky occasionally, but you’re not going to get it year after year after year. It takes something special to build the career you want to have, to build the body of work you want to have, to do meaningful work.

So much of our career is not within our control, so much of our life is not within our control, but those good habits are within our control. By choosing to ignore them, or by choosing to convince yourself that some or all of them are beyond you, you are severely damaging your chances – you’re choosing to make it harder to accomplish your life’s goals, and just why would you do that?

Choose good habits of work and good habits of thought instead.
