Steal from Life

German Writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said, "We are shaped and fashioned by what we love." The trouble is many of us don't believe what we love would be very interesting to others. 

I remember taking an acting on camera class many years ago when the teacher made the observation many of the actors in the room were simply "doing too much." In his words, we had a hard time believing that we alone were enough. 

What he wanted us to understand was that everyone has something compelling to say or share. It's just a matter of trusting that our unique experiences and take on the world will resonate with others. 

If your voice is coming from an honest and genuine place, chances are, it will.
