Everyone is always willing to give up something in order to succeed. When it comes to screenwriting; there is a myth that you have to move to Hollywood in order to make it. I don't believe in such things. I do believe that you have put time in and be willing to do many things in order to become successful, but I don't believe in giving something up completely. My friend Terence moved to Cali, from Colorado to be closer to making his dream a reality. I encouraged him to do so, because I knew that it would help him. Me having a family am not so willing. I can't see myself just packing up all my stuff and hoping a train of California for a chance. I am a firm believer in that "If I can make it in Chicago, I can make it anywhere.
Well let me not say I'm not a believer. I do believe in making sacrifices; but I won't just drop my family and everything. I won't do just anything or everything.
I will spend hours working on various projects, even at the cost of having fun.
I will spend money to submit to contest and buying whatever I need to acheive success.
I will meet with new people, and take opportunities to learn from others.
I will keep my ego in check and retain my humility.
I will accept criticism for what it's worth and take the gems of wisdom from it.
I will continue writing blogs like this so that maybe someone can share from what I have learned
I will wholeheartedly continue to make strides forward, even as it becomes more difficult.
I will travel to where I must but never at the sake of leaving my family behind.
Those are some of my sacrifices. What are yours?
