The Pursuit of the dream...

Hey all you bloggers out there,

Quick update, since it has been a while! I feel inspired tonight. And we all know that inspiration comes from within! Since it comes from within... no one can take it away. Just like our dreams.
Somebody asked me the other day what I do for a living. The scene went something like this...

EXT. CAFE- DAY
SAVANNAH sits at a table alone, drinking Diet Coke and reading the book "Acting From A Spiritual Perspective." MR. DOUBTFUL enters, and spots Savannah. He immediately approaches her.

MR. DOUBTFUL
Savannah! It has been forever!

Savannah looks up from her reading material, and recognizes him.

SAVANNAH

Wow, yes, since High school! How have you been?

MR. DOUBTFUL

Wonderful! I am going to school, and working part-time. What have you been up to? Are you going to school?

SAVANNAH

No, I am not.

MR. DOUBTFUL

Oh? What are you doing then? You work?

SAVANNAH

I am an actress and screenwriter.

MR. DOUBTFUL

Wow! Still acting? You must be making a lot of money now huh?

SAVANNAH

Well... no. Not yet! I am in the pursuit. I am just following

my dream.

Mr. Doubtful's voice of enthusiasm immediately dropped. He speaks very clearly and serious now.

MR. DOUBTFUL

Ah, okay I see. Well, what is your back up plan? Because

what if... you?

SAVANNAH

(sincere)

I don't need a back up plan. I am going to be an actress.

MR. DOUBTFUL

(skeptical)

Everybody needs a back up plan Savannah... I mean, how many

actors actually... make it in this world?

SAVANNAH

Well I don't! This is what I love to do. And there

is no reason why a girl can't do what she loves to do.

MR. DOUBTFUL

I see. Well, best of luck, Savannah-

Savannah checks the time on her phone, and gathers her purse, book, and soda.

SAVANNAH

I actually need to get going, I have an audition! Nice seeing

you... take care!

FADE OUT.

Yep, I experience encounters like this all the time. But, luckily I have gotten a lot tougher over the years. And trust me, when your life is spent with people saying "No, thank-you" all the time, it definitely takes effort to stay positive. But, staying positive is one of the most important aspects in one's likelihood to succeed in this business! So, I must keep my head held up high, and know that someday, one glorious, happy, wonderful day my dreams will come true, and I will live the reality of my dreams. And it will only be a result of my dedication, positivity, and raw determination that will make my dream come true!!

Will Smith said,

"I see people all the time who are better rappers than me, better actors than me, better-looking and stronger than me. But my ace in the hole is my dangerously obsessive drive, you know? I'm a terminator. I absolutely, positively will not stop until I win."

NEVER STOP, NEVER QUIT, and NEVER, EVER, GIVE UP!!!

It is in the pursuit... the pursuit of the dream!! HOLD ON!!
