One of the best ways to waste your time not only as an actor, but I suppose in general, is to compare yourself to others. Whether it's classmates, or famous actors that have you going on an IMDB binge to see what someone accomplished by the time they were your age, all roads are sure to lead to unhelpful destinations.
If you're currently in BFA, or MFA training programs, or just taking classes regularly, it's important to know some people will get a break right out the gates and some won't. The important thing is not to get caught up in what others are doing. Try and support your colleagues as best you can knowing there's enough pie for everyone. Your success doesn't need to
come at the expense of someone else's failure.
You are only in competition
with yourself. Your only job is to be better than you were yesterday. Not just
as an artist but at life.
