“An actor is trying forever to get a part; an actor is forever getting rejected, never knowing why, simply not wanted. An actor’s life is not to be envied. It consists mosty of losing out, of being turmed down. Unendurable, such a life, for most of us. I will never know how actors manage to persist.”
- “Audition“, Michael Shurtleff
Heather and I talked today about life and happiness. More specifically, what happens if I never “make it” as an actor? She is worried that I am so caught up in chasing my dreams that I am not living in the moment. I am not enjoying life and every moment. I am cheating myself and her of joy and happiness all for what? I need to learn how to be happy now, how to enjoy life and what we have and each other.
How I got so lucky to have such a beautiful, intelligent, caring wife I have no idea.
What does all this mean? I’m not sure yet, all I know is that I need to make changes in my attitude and in my life so that I can actually LIVE life and enjoy every moment.
