Embracing starting over again and again and again...

Starting over can be a daunting (and soul-crushing) experience. Where do you go from here when your life is a constant hustle of trying to make it in the creative industry? Whether it’s acting or writing, the amount of push back can only be tolerated for as long as you can handle.
So why not give up? Why not start over? Why not try something new?
There are reasons why some of us are just a sucker for punishment. We don’t know whether we will succeed in this cut-throat, competitive creative field. But deep down, within every fiber of our being, we feel we just have to do it. We have to try because we can’t think of anything else we want to be doing. At this point of my life I feel as though I’ve invested so much time, energy, money and resources into trying to “make it”that I can’t turn back. In fact, it’s time to start a new with a new frame of mind and perspective.

Success is how you embrace it.
Do we have to feel the need to be super successful or are we happy to just be doing it?
Although the process can often be futile, does it even matter?
At this point, it doesn’t. But deep down I still have hope. Hope that something will come to fruitation from years of failing. Something has to come from this method of madness and relentless need to succeed. It’s thrilling to go against the grain and will be satisfying when I
succeed, against all odds.
