Sometimes the thing you love most is also the thing that scares you the most. I do not allow fear to stop me from chasing what I love. Sometimes fear slows me down, but not for long. I keep going. #passiontuesday #act #write #do #90210talent ❤️💛💚💙💖💜🦄

I remember a few years ago, I had a conversation with @rhcomedy about surviving as an actor. Not so much surviving in the financial sense, but in the sense of thriving as you do the thing you love. I was having trouble choosing what I wanted to focus on in my personal career as an artist. At that point, Ricardo was working nightly on his one-man-show, which I knew very little about except for the fact that it was based on Rick's life. Rick (or Spiritual Wind, as he is also known) was able to focus entirely on this project, and believe in it entirely, until it became a real live thing. I have learned by my brother's example, as I continue to grow as an artist and learn what it is to truly focus. Ricardo's success as a play-write and an actor is so transparent when you watch his show; "The Naked Truth" not only tells his story, but inspires you to tell yours. His play is now on Vimeo, and I encourage you to watch it; not simply to learn about this man's journey, but to think differently about yours. Make it a Ricardo Herrera night, and watch "The Naked Truth." The url to the show is in the image above. Happy #PassionTuesday, people ✌🏼️💙✏️
