The Plan

Yesterday (Thursday, October marked the end of the fourth week of the Plan, and so far I have to say it’s working out pretty well.

In a nutshell: I’m looking better, feeling better and taking advantage of more opportunities as an actor.

Now, I don’t want to do the rose-colored glasses thing; there are difficulties, to be sure. The financial picture is still pretty ugly - I have a lot of debt and a teeny income stream - but headway is being made on expense reduction and debt consolidation. Now all I need is more freakin’ money.

Some of the personal progress I’m making has been (and continues to be) painful. It’s necessary stuff, and I can’t imagine how or when I’d be facing it if I wasn’t doing this, but that doesn’t make it fun.

Having said that, I think this may end up being a defining moment for me. One of my hopes with this is that I come out of it ‘improved’, both personally and professionally. When I get out of the car, I want to be able to say ‘things are different now, and they’re only going to keep getting better.’ It’s becoming clear to me that this is something that I can actually have.

To be totally honest, I feel like I’m on the verge of the best time of my life.

So far.
