To Reality TV or Not to Reality TV

Sometimes you need friends to put your life in perspective. Like Janet for example whose post today focused on thankfulness. Janet has been through a lot, just read her story. Yet she's thankful for a lot. Am I?

I seem to be constantly searching for the next big thing, however, the next big thing keeps landing in my lap. Today I received an email from a casting director of a famous reality TV show. Now, let me preface this by saying that I truly dislike 98% of reality TV. This, fortunately, fits into that slight 2% otherwise I would not have mentioned anything. I received a VIP pass to a casting call in NYC. It would be a big commitment, but the results, if selected, would be huge. My body would be in better shape, and it would hopefully give me a chance to share my story, and raise awareness, to a much larger audience. But is it worthwhile? Should I just be thankful for what I have NOW, keep my head down, and walk forward?

I am contemplating a lot of changes in my life, and many of those changes include cutting a lot of things out of my life. I want to focus hard on the things that matter most to me, that are important, that will reap the greatest reward for all. Does this fit into that picture? It's certainly not something I ever considered, but the platform it would give me certainly has great appeal.

So I want to hear the advice: would you ever participate in a reality TV show? Why or why not? Do you think it's worthwhile even pursuing this? Let me have it!
