I have spent my entire life breathing, but I don't think it was until I started going to acting school that I began to realize that I have been doing it all wrong this entire time.

We're all out here breathing to survive, but the whole point is to breathe to live.

The first part is too easy: Just breathe. It's free and keeps you going. I know what you're thinking, "Air? In this socioeconomic and political climate?" I know. It's crazy. And I'm insane.

I am a control freak but like a mellow control freak. I love taking the reigns on things --but not for the thrill of being in control. It's all about the safety of knowing what is going to happen.

It's easier to trust yourself than it is trusting the rest of the world to carry its weight.

Unfortunately for me, I do not live in my own utopia, and this is totally unreasonable. At least I'm self-aware. So I'm just learning how to just go with it as of recently.

I have a lot up in the air at the moment, and everyone else around me is in the same boat. It has been pretty selfish of me to think that I'm in this whirlwind of life all alone when everyone is feeling pretty much the same way.

The only way we can really "just go with it," is to have a plan, but get ready to wing it.

Things just happen. Life just happens. And so we have to just happen too.

And the best way to go with it is, to be honest about going with it.

And be honest about not knowing what is going to happen. I had a great-grandmother who used to read tea leaves, and that must have been wonderful for her to have such 2020 vision. However, the rest of us were not given psychic abilities, nor crystal balls, or anything else that predicts our futures to guide us through our lives.

In my own spiritual adventures, I have personally had the most trouble in letting things just happen. It is easier said than it is done. When it comes to my problems, I have a 40/60 relationship with God. I'm working on what I want the 40%, and I rely on giving that 60% to him. 50% for equal work, and 10% for the anxiety I have about the work.

Having trust and faith isn't effortless.

It's hard. It's really very hard. If there's something that someone did that looks like it just happened to happen --It probably didn't go that way. Life is going to hit you with twists and turns and there's no other way to look but up sometimes.

So I guess the art of just going with it isn't breathing or doing really doing anything. And I guess I'm a liar because I'm not really telling you how to just go with it. I'm telling you that it's difficult and you have to succumb to the vulnerability of life's twists and turns. It's all about perspective.

Where is your head?

But also most importantly, where are your eyes?
