If you've been an actor, or artist long enough chances are you've had to defend your decision to pursue a less conventional path at some point. Maybe there's been a spirited debate or two between parents, or friends still holding out for the off-chance you'll become a doctor. "There's still time!" you may have heard.
Change is unsettling to most. It challenges people's understanding of the world - or at least what they think they know. It creates disharmony in our routines, and oh, how people love routine.
Still, at some point YOU have to decide who's life you're going to live. Your time on this planet is limited and many of our decisions have far more significant impact down the road than we can imagine.
There's an impressive list of folks who kept their head down and decided to appease a parent, or a loved one at great sacrifice - by giving up that which they held most dear; the pursuit of becoming a creator, a dreamer, an artist.
Ask yourself, what is the cost of living someone else's life?
