The Nature of "Frustration"

What do you do when you're not getting what you want out of life?

Is your life not moving at the pace you want it to? Or are you not getting the results you want?

We all get frustrated ... we all get disappointed ...

Then what?

The only thing I can sometimes do when I feel like I'm drowning in frustration, disappointment, disallusionment, etc. is to keep even just a little door or window open to possibility or unexpected aid, hope, whatever ...

Sometimes that opening is made larger by seeing a segment on "Oprah" or from a friend's email or maybe even a smile from a stranger ...

As an actor, there's this "Secret to Success" that has been coming up over and over again:
The ones who "make it" are the ones who don't quit! Sometimes easier said than done, but as I stay in this game longer and longer, it seems downright inevitable ...

I have watched many talented, talented actors and performers that I started out with since leave the business ...
The rest of us keep hangin' in there ... and we will find our success!

Chris out.

Persistence takes time :-)

The longer you stay, the further you'll get, because the more people will get to know you. Of course, that reputation can be good or bad... and the longer you're out there, the more people know about you.

But, Chris, you're good... and you KNOW the principles to apply. It just comes down to application.

And good accessories.
