Just Do It
How is your career? Are you daily fulfilling your dreams? Are opportunities falling in your lap? Do you feel like you are using all your talents? If you didn’t answer yes to all three of those questions, then congrats! You are, I’m sure, a struggling but passionate artist, doing any and every thing for the chance to achieve your goals.
My mentor has a saying that I have made a personal mantra:
“Things in motion tend to stay in motion”
What does this mean to you and me? If you aren’t doing the work you want to do, make it yourself! Well, maybe don’t quit your survival job just yet. But you can research internships; or take a new dance class! Or do something totally non-theater related, like read a book you’ve always eyed but never taken time for. The more educated, balanced, trained, and/or experienced you are, the better chance you will be ready for that great opportunity when it comes knocking.
What things do you do to stay busy and grow in your expertise? I want to hear!
