Inspire Me

As you know, I often find inspiration in my children.
Fox was at an audition yesterday for a new stage role that could take him all over the world.
Although he's still only 15, he already knows what his future holds.
He's a performer, through and through.
How many people are fortunate enough to know what they want to do at 15?
Anyway, the audition was arranged about ten days ago.
They gave him a page of dialogue to learn and interpret.
Plus, a two minute performance to show off his skills.
Then there was talk of a series of workshop.
It's a lot to take in.
When his agent gave him all the details, he simply took the brief and got on with his preparation.
He didn't complain about needing more time.
He didn't focus on all the reasons why he might not get the part.
He didn't worry about anyone else having an advantage over him.
He just focused on doing the best he could.
And he nailed it.
We all work in a competitive environment.
The key to winning lies in focusing on our own strengths.
Not worrying about everyone else's.
Next time that pitch comes in, make sure you focus on the right things.
It's yours for the winning.
