Are You Comfortable in Your Own Skin?

My strength lives in the ability to create a descriptive and visual piece of written work. I have been an actor for 20 years and have learned that one of the most difficult places to find is the comfort zone of being in your own skin. What do I mean by that? Regardless of what we do, what we must first over come, is the restless inner energy that comes from not being secure in who we are. How do we get to that place? And do we even know that its there?

To begin you have to set yourself up. Put yourself in a safe situation where you can be vulnerable, then challenge yourself. How much of me can I reveal, without being threatened. Good question! These are the elements that people seek out when searching for someone to represent them or a product...because that creates uniqueness and interest through an individual organic statement.

What am I talking about? I'm talking about booking the job! I'm talking about closing the deal, being so aligned to who you are that you become symbiotic to yourself. In that center of energy you are the master to your own destiny.

In the grand scheme of things, that is what we are all striving to accomplish. A centered whole self that stands on the present time of Now! Without sounding too esoterically obsessive, the point of the matter is "do I feel comfortable in my own skin", and the answer is yes! One would think anyway, but reality is not always as we summon it to be. We must command it! Demand it.... and evolve into the whole of who we are! Many books have been written on how to find the core of comfort in oneself. Many strive everyday to be consciousness of the discipline. Change derives from shifting the conditioned state of mind and reinventing the best part of who you are.

So the comeback to this essay is; what you think, you manifest into reality. If we train our minds to live and believe in the positive, we will evolve into the comfort of who we are born to be. There is no greater energy, than the spirit of love and that begins with you. Love of self will bring forgiveness, and rest for the weary soul that has journeyed out of the dark and into a comfortable pair of shoes....
