Since I want to go into one of the most unstable biased industries in the world, I have had to look for many forms of encouragement in my life.
Strangely enough, I get some encouragement out of people telling me that I will fail, or that I will never get to do something because of some generic excuse. Some people may be really affected by people constantly putting them down, but being perfectly honestly, I have always had people give me negative remarks when I tell them that I want to be an actress. It has ranged from "You only want to do it to become famous" to "You're too fat to be an actress". But I love thinking of what those people would say if I actually got there. I am a very stubborn person, and I am absolutely determined to prove them wrong.
Another thing that encourages me is watching myself back and seeing how far I have actually come. I have improved my Musical Theatre ability even in just one year at university, and it is great think about how far I will be able to go once my training has complete. But I also believe that this is an industry where you will never know everything, and that as you further progress in your career, you will continue to learn from the many people you get to interact with!
I also love surrounding myself with positive people. You will get nowhere thinking negative thoughts in this industry. True, you do have to think critically sometimes, but that is not necessary a negative thing. Everyone has their good days and bad days, so you really shouldn't put yourself down if something goes wrong!
Those are some of the things that encourages me. What encourages you? Let me know! Thank you so much for reading and I will see you in the next post.
