Many people want to become popular at the expense of their mental health. These people need others who they will never meet to give them temporary worth. Meanwhile, they ignore the advice, tips, and help their family, friends and co-workers share with them daily.
There is this uncomfortable obsession that drives people to spend countless hours envying popular, famous and successful figures. They leave countless comments on poplar social media pages. Despite giving support, they rarely get noticed for their talents and gifts. Why? They don't give enough time, effort and energy to achieve success.
At the end of the day, people are afraid to fail. They fear rejection so much, they waste many years holding their dream hostage to outside judgements, criticism and negative feedback. Nevertheless, they trick their mind into thinking it is hard or the time has already passed.
I would rather receive negative feedback than nothing at all. The main reason the Kardashian family stay relevant is their willingness to accept that many people hate/dislike/despise them. They don't block comments, block accounts and disable what they dislike. They allow the good and bad to be present. It takes brave people to face uncomfortable things head-on.
Why get upset? Why try to change opinions? Why is there time wasted on impressing strangers?
There are no ifs, maybe's and hoping it will come true. The only no's you should remember is saying no when you can't do something for people who interfere with your dream, f*ck no I won't give up on what makes me happy and no there is no better time than right now. Stop seeking validation to do what you already know is possible.
If you need a comet or asteroid to be on collision course with the Earth, will that be enough to snap out of your inaction? You know who you are so quit overthinking and self-doubting.
Happy Screenwriting!!!
