Los Angeles is a car culture. If you’re going two doors down to Chipotle, you hop in your car. (Calm down. Everyone here drives a Prius!) Regardless of where you live, though, most of us get around using a vehicle. Let’s say you want to go to the beach. Every day of the week, youRead more

  You can see Part 1 of this lesson HERE. 5. Look at how much you’ve grown and accomplished this year. I know it’s hard to believe at times because we engage in this insanely soul-crushing illusion of compare-and- despair-ism that renders us always ineffectual and less than.

Are You “Sick Enough” of Something to Do Something About It?

By Anthony Meindl | Acting, Being an Artist, Empowering You, Just Say Yes, Right here, Right NOW | 0 comment | 3 October, 2016 | 0

You can do it. You know how to do it. You are doing it. What keeps you from doing it fully are two sticky myths about creating that are hard to shake. 1). The “greats” are greater than you.

By Anthony Meindl | Acting, Being an Artist, Empowering You, Right here, Right NOW | 0 comment | 23 May, 2016 | 0

We often don’t think we are. Awesome. Or we vacillate between delusions of grandeur (“I’m king of the world!”) and downright self-annihilation. What if we just set the dial more in the middle?
