Calm in the Chaos

DAY 3 OF 3

Be Still and Know

Stories have the power to change lives. And that’s something actor and producer Jason Mac understands from firsthand experience. He’s known for starring in popular shows like Vampire Diaries, Castle, and Criminal Minds. But after experiencing how storytelling shaped his own worldview and relationship with God, he knew he wanted to tell stories that did the same for others.

Since then, Jason has sought to explore the filmmaking experience in more depth. His most recent project is A Father’s Legacy, which he not only acted in but also wrote and directed.

I live in Los Angeles, and it's busy here. Traffic sucks. Parking is not cool. The cost of living is not sustainable. So it's really easy to get caught up in the race of everyday life. But for me, in those moments when I'm still, I feel revitalized. I feel at peace. That can be during a workout alone with my headphones in or sitting on a balcony at the end of the day. A moment where there isn't anything specific on my mind. Just an appreciation for being. And I feel thankful in those moments.
