    YOU WANT TO BOOK A TV PILOT? HERE’S HOW.

    By Anthony | Everything Else | 0 comment | 7 March, 2012 | 0

    When I was in my 20’s, I didn’t like myself very much. I had low self-esteem and a lot of self-hatred. I thought I was dumb and unattractive. Too “this” and too “that.” Too much, too gay, too weird, too “out there.”

    So what did I do? Well, like most 20-year-olds at that time, I spent most of my energy trying to be someone I wasn’t. Duh.

    I’d try really hard. To overcompensate for my perceived lack, I’d always put on a good show. On dates, I was so surprised when someone actually liked me, I’d ultimately sabotage the experience because of my insecurities. (Not more than an hour after a date ended, I’d call them and leave a voicemail – this was before cell phones! – asking if they had a good time and wanted to do it again!)

    OMG. Stalker!

    In my acting, I’d try to pretend to be someone else being the “character.” So I’d play ideas or mimic famous people or show caricatures because how could I ever believe that someone would ever be interested in merely watching me. That could never be enough, could it?

    I learned the hard way. By running away from who I was, I discovered, over time, that the only way I made any sort of progress in my life – whether it be acting or dating or creating or relating – it all came down to me being me.

    And ultimately I discovered that who I was (who we each are) is all I got.

    You want to know the simple answer to any question you might have about anything you’re wanting in life?

    Whether it’s about booking a job or landing the promotion or nailing a successful interview or having a second date or getting your TV series?

    Be Yourself.

    If you don’t know who that is yet, you’ve got time to figure it out.

    But stop postponing.

    The world is waiting for you to share who you are.

    And really, you’re waiting to discover yourself.
