Quote of the Week – Work Ethic

By admin

God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into its nest. ~J.G. Holland


 

I thought I’d send a quick one since I’m utterly exhausted from an amazing shoot over the weekend. This shoot taught me a lot about not accepting life at status quo and although there are as many jobs as there are people, never feel entitled. It is up to you to make your chances and create your own opportunities. Those that work hard and keep setting a high standard for themselves and everyone around them will be rewarded eventually.
I have had some pretty big auditions over the past few months and although they haven’t materialized, B reminds me that even auditions are part of my work. Even if I may not have booked them, having an audience with a casting director and leaving an impression can sometimes be more valuable than one specific job. I had a great time over the weekend for a job that I didn’t even audition for. I felt very lucky bc my looks managed to get me far enough, but as the days rolled by, I was gaining respect from the cast/crew. Leaving a genuine impression on people can also make the difference and I hope I managed to do that.
Work hard, work smart and have good work ethic. Don’t be late and try to do your personal best and sometimes that’s enough!

Even though I kept myself open to whatever the Universe sent to me, I trusted myself to make the right decisions in life. If it was not in alignment, I would be able to let things go and make peace with it. Learning how to honour myself above anyone else has given me clarity about how I want to create my future. 

I’ll admit it has been scary because sometimes I worried if I wasn’t good enough to do so. But, I knew if I wanted to level up in life, I had to pay the price. 

Find your light, find your worth.

I’m showing my double chin to the world and I would do it over and over for her kisses. 🐕

    It’s really hard to put into words what this pas It’s really hard to put into words what this past trip has meant for me. I spent nearly the entire year of 2022 working non-stop. Even when my body told me to stop, I didn’t. 
I tried my best to maximise my time with the people I care about and opted for the best experiences that were of worth and value to me. It’s been 20 years since I’ve left Vancouver and I’ve never felt more at home. This has been such a beautiful time of play, discovery and bliss. 😍

I saw this scripture during service and it was a good excerpt to anchor what I’ve been feeling over the past few months. I’m not chasing earthly possessions or the kind of clout I need from others to feel whole. I’m heading back to KL armed with a different perspective. I’m finding more peace and more joy in the little things in life. It’s a new level of exciting. 🙌🏻
