Bold Choices

In life, as in art, bold choices are necessary to make an impact that people remember - and that have personal satisfaction.  Making bold choices, however, can require courage and tenacity, whereas bland choices may get you by unnoticed.

Why bother?  Being BOLD has risks of making a fool of yourself.  The first time you had a crush on someone, you may have acting in a way that did not help you get the date.  However, if you tried to get your crush's attention, any attempt to do so was BOLD.  You had something at stake, your pride and your happiness, but you pursued your crush anyway.  If the trying worked out, you may have dated this person - which was the ultimate reward!

In acting, the ultimate reward is layered.  Bold choices have to be personal to be effective and meaningful to both the actor and the audience.  When an actor chooses to invest in moments and relationships onstage personally, he or she is deciding to make a vibrant and risky choice.  As humans, we are very interested in how people maneuver risky choices.  (That's why reality shows are so popular.)

Today make the choice to be BOLD.  See what risks you take and the benefits you can reap!  Some will fall short, other bold choices will dazzle you and those around you!!!
