13148: We Pursue Acting And VO Happiness. We Often Forget To Do One Thing.

Raw transcript:

we spend an awful lot of time pursuing
happiness and every so often it’s worth
just hitting the pause button on that to
do one thing and I’m going to tell you
what that one thing is and hopefully
it’ll help make your life a little bit
better in this episode of the vo Heroes
podcast many of the things that we talk
about in these podcast episodes are
about upping your game about uh being
more effective about being more at peace
with what we do uh being more happy with
our efforts and with our uh our pursuit
of that happiness I believe it’s a good
idea and sometimes we fly right by this
I believe it’s a good idea to just every
so often take a
moment and pause the pursuit of
happiness and and enjoy the fruits of
those labors enjoy the happiness that
you have the things that you’ve achieved
we sometimes forget just how much we’re
able to do when we put the things that
we acquire as skills or acquire as as
systems tactics strategies Etc when we
put those things to
use and we’re pursuing Effectiveness and
happiness and so on if if we don’t take
a moment sometimes and just enjoy that
why are we doing it I get that we want
to pay the mortgage and we want to drive
a a car that that suits our our our
tastes and budget and so on and we want
to be effective in our work as actors
and and voice talent and business people
and so
on and I I I would submit that there are
times when I forget just how much fun
I’m having or how happy I am or and and
it can be hard especially when you’re
focused on on the frustrations when
you’re focused on the challenges and how
to fix those things but just take a
moment consider this take a
moment and do a quick inventory of the
things that you’ve accomplished the
things that you’ve done how happy you
are and know that you’ve worked very
hard to get there and just take a moment
and enjoy that you know as you watch a
Sunset and reflect as to what’s going on
uh or you realize hey today I’m healthy
today I’m not sick uh or today I uh I
actually feel pretty good about what’s
going on Treasure those moments because
they are the reason in many cases why we
work so hard to get to them and we
forget to celebrate them we forget to
enjoy them so why not tell me what you
think are you really good at remembering
to celebrate your happiness to celebrate
the achievement ment of some of your
goals of feeling good about stuff or are
you like me sometimes going oh yeah yeah
I forgot you know it’s like that moment
when you get a paycheck or a direct
deposit and you go oh right I’m a
professional I get paid for this
right so think about it leave me a
comment below if you have something you
