"Did
you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the
blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they
are not trying to impress other birds and horses."
- Dale Carnegie

Yes
when Going for No...
by
Richard Fenton & Andrea

Thomas
McDonell might not be a familiar a name. A New York-based
independent artist, McDonell’s talents are plenty, having
been involved in painting and various other forms of art, all in his
early-20s.
One day the phone rang and he was offered a role in a small independent
film, which he did, leading to another role, and then another, finally
landing him ‘Prom,’ a larger film released in 2010,
where he’s seen by Tim Burton. Fast
forward one year: Tim Burton is casting for the upcoming remake of the
1960’s supernatural soap opera, Dark Shadows, starring Johnny
Depp in the lead role as vampire Barnabas Collins. The
screenplay calls for a young, dashing, Depp-lookalike to play Barnabas
in his younger, formative years. As it turns out, McDonell
is the perfect ‘Young Johnny Depp.’
But the interesting part of his story is how this all happened in the
first place. Thomas McDonell auditioned for movie roles, though he had
no real training as an actor, nor did he expect to be one.
So, why audition?
Because he wanted the audition footage of him being criticized and
berated by strangers giving him feedback for a video art project he was
doing. To get the footage he would tell the producers and
casting directors that he wanted to review it for the purposes of
‘getting better’ and ‘mastering his
craft.’ As such, he went into every audition with
zero expectation of being hired… with no attachment to the
outcome… in other words, he went in ‘going for
no.’
But, as we say all the time, if you fail often enough – with
zero attachment to the outcome – the
‘yeses’ will show up in your life in the most
surprising ways. They always do.

Quotables from
the Go for No! Movie |
"If
I can keep from taking it personally, then I can dust myself off and
get up and keep going. When someone says "No," I've learned that
they're not rejecting me, they're just rejecting my offer." - Lethia
