Recently it was brought to my attention that I’m slacking in the dream department. Though, I am working on becoming an event planner/wedding coordinator actively, my dream to be an entertainer has …well, it hasn’t been the thing most on my mind. Let me ask you this, though, when you make a goal do you just jump straight in and say “Hey look at me! I’m on stage! I MUST be an entertainer now!” or do you go and study and take baby steps toward your ultimate goal?
I’ve given myself a time limit on when I want to achieve this goal (it’s a very recent goal of…oh let’s say a month). I’m taking proper steps by studying what I want to do. I don’t want to get on stage and forget why I’m there. I don’t want to rush into anything. I like being properly prepared. Are any of you like that? Or do you prefer the alternative of just jumping into a project head first? I understand that some things and goals are better accomplished this way, but I think others are meant to be mastered and studied and talked about before going all out on them.
Another part of me asks if I should just move on. I had an extremely successful career in high school and college theatre programs, I did some voice over for some local bands on their CDs, and I was even an officer in a national theatre fraternity (guys and gals together are still a fraternity). Has my time come and gone? Is it selfish of me to take the time of some other person who has the same dream as me?
Here’s what I’m gunna do as of right now when I’m typing this blog: I’m going to study my art. A month from now I plan to have it mastered enough to post a video online (be on the lookout for it). When I get the feedback from that, I’ll move forward and fix my plan as needed.
There it is. In black and white. Permanently engraved on the internet (Sorry for the delay in posting this, I just saw my acting idol—Helena Bonham Carter— on TV).
Thanks for listening and have a happy day,
Kate
