wanna be an actress...


Question Posted Wednesday November 9 2005, 7:28 pm

hey,
since I'v been able to talk, I'v wanted to act/sing. I'v been in many shows and had lots of leads. Alot of my friends, who have grown up on the same dream, aer starting to give up. I want to be on broadway, and don't really want to give up, but I just cant help but feel horrible when they say "Oh no one every makes it," or "Face it its impossible!" Should I bring myself down like that and give up, or continue to pusue my dream as an actress and singer? Thanks a bunch!!!

Look, you've had so much success in your life, even you acknowledge that fact. Why would you ever even remotely consider giving up in the tiniest bit? If you notice your friends are quitting, then I feel really sorrie for them. It's sad that they choose to be a bunch of quitters, but if that's their choice, then that's fine; it's simply that.. THEIR choice. If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too? I sure hope not. Just because your friends don't believe in themselves, doesn't mean you have to follow the same outlook in life. I really do pray you know that. And yes it's an obvious fact that not everybody on this earth is a celebrity, am I right or am I right? And yes, there are millions upon millions of people trying to "make it big" in showbiz. And yes, it's very true that "not everyone makes it". But.. SOMEONE has to "make it", right?? Isn't everybody who "makes it" a SOMEONE? Yes, and that next SOMEONE is GOING TO BE you. That's the key. Belief. You have to believe in yourself. Don't HOPE to one day "make it". You go and.. TELL... the world that you.. ARE GOING TO.. "make it". Don't HOPE for it, ACT ON IT!! You can't sit back and pray for a miracle to drop right into your lap. You have to work for it. It may be a long, tough, tedious road, and life may very well throw curve balls, but never give up. And don't you ever let someone talk you out of something that means the world to you. Don't you ever let someone have that sort of influence on you. You can do anything you strive to, anything you set your mind to and anything you work for. That is a big promise straight from me to you. Anything is possible. You work hard, you overcome the obstacles with great thanks, and combine your positive attitude with firm dedication and much optimism, and you'll get places; just you wait and see. Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day, and you can't expect things to completely break over night. But each and every passing day brings you one day closer. Don't sit and ponder abandoning your dreams, sit and ponder what you can do NEXT. And ACT ON IT.

Here is a poem (couldn't find the author):


"When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill.
When funds are low and the debts are high.
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns.
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:


Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not QUIT."
