Having the right to happiness means having the right to earn it, not having it given to you without effort and action on your part.

Feel the Fear. Do it anyway!

One of my acting teachers once said that rejection is God's protection. There's something in it.

Failure is all a matter of perspective. Think of all the people you admire. I guarantee you they all failed at one time or another. The key is to recognize setbacks for what they really are-entry points for learning, not validation that you aren't good enough. After a disappointment analyze your actions, get feedback from friends, and take inventory of what you could do better next time. This type of self-reflection and improvement will ultimately make success inevitable.

Be brave and be patient. Have faith in yourself; trust in the significance of your life and the purpose of your passion.
