In the famous words of @prattprattpratt, “I didn’t have a plan B.”
This might be scary to hear, but you don’t need a “back up plan.”
It doesn’t have to be THIS or THAT.
You can still pour your heart, soul & energy into your acting and also pour energy right into… anything else.
There is no limit to the number of dreams and goals you are allowed to have.
And taking a break doesn’t mean you’re no longer an actor.
Most importantly? There is no rule that says when you should quit acting.
It’s EASY to have thoughts of quitting and moving on. Why? Because when things get hard or don’t make sense, your brain wants to put you somewhere that feels “safe.”
But here’s the thing: you’re here, now, reading this & reflecting.
And in this very moment, a dozen people just gave up. They just canceled their Actor’s Access accounts.
But you’re still here.
Every time you have the thought of giving up, I want you to do these 4 things:
1. Recall the moment the acting bug bit you. Reflect. Remember.
2. Do something that brings you joy
3. Remind yourself that you’ve gotten through harder things
4. Take one actionable step toward your goal.
Remember: things won’t go as planned. Things won’t always make sense. These are the things that can turn someone’s light off.
Don’t let them turn yours off.
