Handling Frustration

A lot of my blogs are about how positivity and faith lead me to know that I will break through that small screen. However, I haven't talked about how I persevere through the discomfort of not having a job. Between internships, I've been bored. It's no fun applying for jobs and new internships, and there are days where I am frustrated.

I've had this part-time script reading job to keep my mind engaged and put a small of money in my pocket. But sometimes, there are no scripts to read. I try to take these times to write screenplays of my own. When I don't feel like writing, I watch streaming episodes of Netflix. When Starbucks' WiFi is too slow for that or I grow tired of watching Lost, I read a book. I do my very best to stay motivated and trust that the perfect opportunity will present itself.

I've spoken about the wife, and how her job helps pay for us to survive in LA. But I haven't spoken of how we believe in a prosperity consciousness. All religions have some kind of writing that involves God providing wealth for believers. Even non-religions speak of a law of attraction, indicating that if you believe in something, including money, that it will come to you.

We focused on faith, believing that we can thrive in LA. The fact that we haven't gone a day without a place to live or food to eat serves as a reminder to us that our faith worked. This kind of reminder serves to prove to me that I will find the perfect job at the perfect time. I appreciate all of you in your support and your positive energy in making this happen for us.
