How bad do you really want it?

Tomorrow I'll be doing yet another photo test. Third one this week (!) but I think it's absolutely fantastic to have an agency that stands behind me and pushes me forward. I'm not just sitting in the back waiting for someone to notice.

I want to talk to you about something important... Priorities.
Boring you say, but yet it's something that defines how successful you are going to be. A good example is this:
 After work today I was planning on going out with a few of my girl friends. The hole evening was planned and I was all excited and looking forward to having dinner, drinks and then dance of course. While at work my agent called me and said that she was sending me to another test tomorrow. Happy to know that I would be doing another shoot I also quickly realized that there was no way I could go out and be (more importantly look) well rested in the morning.
Here is where your priorities comes in. The little angel on your right shoulder tells you to be good and go home to rest but simultaneously the little devil to your left smirks and says: screw that, let's party!

You now have to make up your mind about what you are going to do. Ignore the imaginary Disney cartoons on your shoulders and just think what you are actually trying to accomplish here.
Eating healthy I have become quite good at saying no to even the most deliciously tempting things but it's still not easy. I try to ask myself:

 Do I want to go home, leave Paris, only to realize that I didn't give it my all. Everything I had. And then have to live with that for the rest of my life? 

My answer to that question was no, so home I went. Not happy because I missed out on a fun night out but happy, and proud, for knowing I had made the right decision for me and for my goals.
