Magic Time

Just before his movie director yelled "Action," actor Jack Lemmon would say quietly to himself, "Magic Time!"

This was Jack's way of prepping himself for the scene he was about to shoot. He was psyching himself up in order to be fabulous in his role. He was redirecting his mind and thoughts toward his desired outcome.

I think I want to try out Jack's "Magic Time" mantra and make it my own! As I head out each day to shoot my scenes of daily life, I'll tell myself it's magic time and remember to be fabulous, to perform my role to the best of my ability, and to star in the movie of my life.

It worked for Jack...he won two Oscars, a Lifetime Acheivement Award from the American Film Institute, several Golden Globe awards, received multiple award nominations, and starred in some of the most memorable films of the 50s and 60s.

PS If you haven't seen him in the original movie "The Odd Couple," opposite Walter Mathau, I highly recommend it - it's laugh-out-loud funny.
