Just thinking about something I really love doing...writing! I love writing so much that I would do it for free for an organization. I really do! This is my passion!
Why, then am I writing a BLOG on Changing Your Mind? Here's the thing...I did CHANGE MY MIND. At first I thought I was changing it because of someone else's comment. I have written several screenplays and asked a trusted friend to review it. NOTICE I SAID THE WORD WRITING...right? They came back with some very constructive criticism. Loving constructive criticism But, who loves criticism, even if it is constructive and loving? I thought I was okay with CC, but I changed my mind this time. It JUST wasn't what I wanted to hear. I wanted this person to RANT AND RAVE over my writing! I wanted them to SHOUT out to the world, YOU ROCK! YOU GO GIRL! Didn't happen...just didn't happen! My bubble and balloon(s) BURST. Both Bubble and Balloons had water in them and spilled all over me! Whew!
After taking it all in, I realized, I needed to change directions, and I did change my mind! This person was the reader of my screenplay...the possible person that might go see the show if and when GOD blesses me and releases this screenplay to (uuummm) maybe Tyler Perry. Hope you read this Tyler (Mr. T.P). Sometimes changing your mind can elevate you to a path of greatness...I know that is what I am trying to pursue - Greatness! Greatness in my writing. Greatness comes with mistakes and constructive criticism. AND, changing your mind even when you think that you are right!
Always remember, Success if Your Destiny and F.O.C.U.S!
