...as long as you walk long enough.

I honestly forgot about this little gem until I was looking over quotes from the Alice in Wonderland books.  If you haven't read them, do it.  They're super short but so full of crazy imagination!  

I love this quote though because it speaks volumes to my life and my career.  Alice asks the Cheshire cat for directions, he asks to where and she says I don't care, prompting his response "then any path will take you there." To this she replies "So long as I get somewhere.
The Cheshire Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough"
Mind blown right?  But it's true.  And I swear to you this is the key to pursuing your dreams.  Sticking with it and being persistent long enough.

This week I had a big audition.  It was the first time I went in for this show and I was excited!  I posted on FB and Twitter but I didn't say what the show was...it was Glee!  But I didn't get the part.  And that's ok!  It was still a big victory because I was called in to make an impression on people and open a door for future roles.  

But too often people see this as a failure.  I finally get called in for that show and I didn't get the part!  My career will never take off!  I'm never going to be anything because no one wants me.  The funny thing is, Hollywood is built on relationships.  That's the long path you have to walk before you can really reap the rewards of success.  Relationships don't become strong overnight but too many people get impatient and give up before they really even give themselves a chance!  I got called in and now I've started a new relationship.  Time to build on it! 

So on that note, I'm going to keep walking down the path I'm on and remember that if I walk long enough, I'm going to get there.  Thanks for following me and I hope you're having fun so far ;)

Oh and happy Labor Day!
