You watched the Oscars, fell in love with a movie, and decided: I want to be an actor. So you packed a bag, bought a Greyhound ticket, and moved to Hollywood.

But when you got there, it wasn’t what you imagined. The streets weren’t glamorous. No one cared about your passion they just asked, “What have you been in?” You said, “Nothing.” And they said, “We don’t have anything for you.”

Ten years later, you’re still waiting tables, still hoping for your big break.

What might’ve been better? Staying in your hometown — wherever you're from — and getting involved in local theater or film. To test your talent. To see if you love the craft, not just the dream.

More importantly, to get to know yourself.

Because whether it's the Hollywood red carpet, sold out stadiums, or a Noble Prize, chasing any dream without knowing your strengths, limits, and values can turn into a long road of frustration and self-doubt.
