Settle!
Being on a movie set is an exhilirating experience. Working alongside famous movie stars is an even bigger bonus. I have had the privilege of doing that with Donnie Wahlberg (pictured here with me, on the set of The Kill Point, SPIKE TV), Eric Roberts, Tom Atkins, and a cast of several. There is always electricity in the air, even as the 13-plus-hour day drags on.
So, to make sure everyone can focus, the director will call out, “Settle!” This means we just stop what we’re doing, pause for a moment, and then ready ourselves for the scene to begin. Only by doing this action can we do the on-screen action–correctly. Our productivity depends on our calmness. Does that sound familiar?
As we sort through the myriad activities surrounding Christmas and then New Year’s, or whatever other holidays you observe, let’s “Settle!” That way, we can be productive in our ability to, “Get Your SHINE Together!” this holiday season.
