When I
first moved to LA, the actress Megan Mulally and I had a mutual friend, and we
would all hang out together on occasion.
One night we were talking before a movie, and Megan was describing a
friend of hers who booked jobs all the time. Practically every job she auditioned for, she booked. I remember an alarm went off in my
head. I asked Megan what her
friendŐs secret was. I knew that I
was about to hear something that could really help me. And Megan said:
ŇShe
doesnŐt need the job.Ó
I instantly
knew this was true, and very important.
But had no idea how to manifest that in my life. So it became my goal to figure
out how I could feel the same way.
This was
not how my mind worked. So I would
need to learn how to control my thoughts.
Eventually I discovered the power of this simple affirmation:
ŇI release
and destroy my need to get this job.Ó
Once you
say this to you vulture, itŐs as simple as listening carefully to his response,
and responding appropriately.
