The journal entries you are about to read are the genuine thoughts and feelings as they happened each day during a 9 week “acting” course intensive like no other. Coaching specialist Christopher Healy reveals unexpected insights and learning from the private journals of 17–21 year old students who were courageous enough to go through his dynamic 9 week course that tested and pushed the students beyond their perceived limits and fears, and into discovering true insights that would change their lives forever and can empower you to changes yours.
The students own personal journeys in this book will reflect your own journey of facing adversity and change, that can sometimes seem overwhelming and feel like its dragging you down. These true stories are of slavery to freedom, good versus evil and love that conquers all.
~ “We all have the capability to do great things” ~
“Today we talked about guiding our own ship, and about being in charge of our own careers and of our own choices. How many people never realize the potential they have, they just go with the flow and hope it takes them to where they want to be. They don’t put in the effort because they are too lazy or they just don’t know how.
Mr. Healy has taught us that we have to be more than just actors; we need to be entrepreneurs, in business for ourselves. It’s not about thinking outside the box; it’s about living there. Because we all have the capability to do great things, we just needed a little perspective and guidance, and the way they were given to us was truly unique.
We weren’t taught how to be great; we were shown that we already are great. We weren’t forced to change, but encouraged to grow. We were given the opportunity to become better people, and that is a lesson that goes beyond this course. It’s a lesson that lasts a lifetime. The journey I went through has been documented in these journals, and I can say without a doubt that I have changed. By reading this book, you will have changed. What will set you apart is, either changing because you have to, or learning to change because you want to”.
