Become A Performer

Many of us have had dreams of being a performer or an actor perhaps a singer, and when we feel the need to, most can put on a show.

See a performer doesn’t and cannot wait until they feel like performing to perform.

When the curtain goes up, the action begins. But you say, “I don’t feel like it or I’m not in the mood right now” that doesn’t matter, the curtain is going up. There may be someone in the audience that doesn’t like you, it still doesn’t matter. The curtain is going up.

If we wait until we feel like going to the next level or pursuing the goal or the vision we may never get there. Act like you already feel like you want to feel. Don’t wait until the feeling motivates you. It could be a long wait.

Most people believe that the emotions such as happiness must come first. Then we do whatever we do in reaction to that particular emotion. Emotions must not be allow to control your moving and going to the next level.

If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic. If you want to be happy, find the happiest song you know and sing it out loud. It may not always happen in the first few moments, but just keep at it. Soon your happy singing will show you who is really are in charge of your emotions.

Laughing, makes you laugh

When we were kids back home at the supper table, Daddy always sat at the end and Mama sat at the corner next to him, and the rest of the table was full of kids.

It didn’t have to be anything in particular. The juice from corn on the cob could squirt or anything, it didn’t take much to make us laugh.

And perhaps Daddy was tired but he would tell us to be quiet. And if Daddy said be quiet, we knew we were supposed to be quiet.

But, when you know you’re not suppose to laugh and something funny happens, for us it was next to impossible to stop laughing. Then Daddy would say, “I told you kids to shut up now, I’m gonna make you get up from the table.”

We would try to shut up until we would look down beside Daddy where Mama was sitting. She was a big woman with more talent than we ever gave her credit for. Mama could sit there with a straight face not cracking a smile and all the time her belly would be just jumping because she was laughing with us kids on the inside!

And when we would see her belly jumping it was over! I mean we would have to get up and leave the table. What started us laughing was so small. It was nothing really.

But when one would start it became contagious. Before it was over everyone was in on the fun! Everyone except Daddy.

What most makes you feel like laughing? Laughing! What most makes you feel like singing? Singing! What most makes you want to dance? Dancing!

The next time you ask someone to sing, and they say I don’t feel like singing tell them that’s because you’re not singing.

Folks will buy what you’ve got to sell if you happy. Folks will pay to hear you sing if you are happy! Folks will pay to hear you talk if you are happy! Happiness is some of the strongest stuff in the world.

Happiness is a choice! Design your life be deliberate.
