“Many people see vulnerability as weakness when it’s the only way to truly grow and truly love. Love makes me feel vulnerable. It’s like saying, “I’m an open book. Here are my flaws, my strengths, where I fall short, my dreams – and I’m choosing to share them with you.””

As actors, we have to be able to keep ourselves open to feel, and that’s a life lesson I think many people don’t get a chance to learn. In my personal life, I’ve learned to carry this lesson with me.

If we choose to see things positively and trust in God, he will fulfill his purpose in our lives.

Talking to someone, meditating, praying, or just plain crying it out helps. The most important thing after doing any of these things is to let them go. I focus on all of the many blessings surrounding me and all those I love, instead.

If everyone chose love, this world would be magnificent. Always choose love.

Eating healthy and keeping hydrated does wonders; it centers my mood and helps me keep a sharp mind.

For me, being alove it is being close to nature, either by the beach or near the ocean. When I look around and see how small I am in comparison to all that surrounds me, it fuels me.
