First Step

Success. What makes up success? Talent? Beauty? Connection?

None of those are the answer.

What makes success is determination, motivation - perseverance. You must know what you want and go for it. If you know nothing but success then that is all you will get.

I am on a journey. I recently left college where I was in an intensive professional theatre program. Now, I know what you might think. No. I did not give up. Medical issues have come up that caused me to rethink my approach to my dream and life. I fell into some old bad habits because I was afraid of facing the reality that college was not what I had hoped. I was ignoring the fact that perhaps I needed a different kind of training. I did not want to be labeled a failure. Guess what? Failure happens to everybody. Success is 99% failure. I realize now that this step is a step of courage. I know what is not working and am willing to change that. Starting now.

I am taking a few months to get my health back to a good solid condition - I need my body to be in top form for my career. During this time, I plan on improving my skills through reading and studying everything I can. This is a time of change and recovery, a time to find myself and take the appropriate steps towards success.

It is time to repair the damage that has been inflicted on my road to success.
