In my last post, I talked about limiting beliefs and how I need to have confidence in who I am. So it turns out I am good enough.
First up, I auditioned for the next local musical. There were over a hundred people that went for it. After not getting into a couple of shows over the last couple years, I was prepared for the worst. But I was really happy with my singing and dancing auditions. And wouldn’t you know it, I got into the cast!
Then I got a call the other day from a friend in the arts council. He asked if I’d be a part of a little skit for Carols in the Park. Apparently I was the first person he thought of. People are noticing my acting skills. I guess maybe I am good enough.
Over the past five years since my separation, it was a real struggle at first to find some good friends. I slowly started to meet some great people and over the past couple years, they became good friends. After the last show, there’s a few of us that have hung out a few times. I was invited to a barbecue at one of their places and I honestly can’t remember the last time that happened. Maybe I have finally found my extended family here in Australia.
It really goes to show how much limiting beliefs can hold us back. No matter how many times I get knocked down (which is a lot), I get back up and try again. Before my audition, I even did a meditation to tell myself I am good enough. Wonderful things can happen, we just need to have confidence in who we are.
