How to stop letting the perceptions of other people define your life, writes ncolier
Gwen was a working comedian when I first met her. She wasn’t famous yet, but it seemed that she was on her way there. I had never met an artist who pushed herself so hard. No matter how tired she was, she showed up at every audition and never said no to any possible opportunity. For her, that just might be the one that would launch her. When Gwen wasn’t auditioning, networking, or exercising , she was writing material, making videos, and submitting them.
How do you expect to get there if you’re not willing to do everything it takes? You’ll get a day off when you make it. With a lot of hard work and tears, Gwen was finally able to admit to herself that she didn’t want to keep living such a grueling life, under the whip of an internal slave-driver, or to keep living it on the fumes of a dream. She wanted a life that she wanted to be living—. Her present experience had finally become something that mattered; she had become someone who mattered. At last, Gwen chose to hang up her comedian’s hat and enter graduate school.
