Do you dream of making it big in some field of endeavour? Or do you enjoy making a living for yourself and your family without the need for fame or fortune. Or maybe you once dreamed of making a name for yourself in the field you were passionate about, but the cares of this life and the need to get a job and start earning money put the lid on your dreams. Or perhaps, you have only just recently realized you want to jump into some new field that you never even dreamed about in your youth.
Well, what if that dream of yours is in the movies? Have you ever wanted to get a part in a movie and even one day act alongside the legends of the big screen like Sean Connery, Tom Cruise, or Jessica Alba? Maybe you’ve even gotten as far as acting auditions for that part you’ve been wanting for so long. That might not be as far a leap as you imagine – especially in this hyper-connected world that we now live in. Sometimes, it’s not just who you know, but how connected are those who you know.
It doesn’t have to be anything out there in the glare of the spotlight either. Maybe your dream is to get involved in the movie industry in some other capacity, like cinematography, or other behind-the-scenes capacity. It’s can all be just as fulfilling and exciting when you’re following your true dream of what you really want to be doing.
I’ve have often considered that the key to happiness is in following your dreams and discovering what really makes you get up in the morning. Because if what you do really makes you want to get up the morning again and again without having to punch the snooze button half a dozen times, then I consider you to have arrived at your true calling.
The movie industry or a career in entertainment is that calling for many. It’s a noble purpose to have the privilege of entertaining all of us who have our own callings in other fields and wouldn’t even dream of getting up on a stage to have millions of people watch us simultaneously. That to most would be downright nerve-wracking and mortifying. But anyone who craves the limelight, that is the life of an actor in the movies.
