From what I’ve seen, it is hard to predict material success, ESPECIALLY in the entertainment industry.  And even if we get it, it does not guarantee fulfillment or happiness.  But here’s what’s well within our grasp:  it is possible to conduct ourselves like people who DESERVE success; to invite it to our doorstep by showing up every day and dutifully creating.  But even more important than that:  it is possible to delight in our efforts, to plunge fully into the worlds we dream, and to prep them as best we can for others’ consumption, hopefully lifting their hearts and capturing their imaginations.  

I feel that when I engage in creativity with this mentality, I not only serve others, but myself as well.

  1. Great thoughts! I agree fully. I would also add that it is hard to measure success in the entertainment industry as well. Especially when it comes to being an author.

    1. Some people buy books, some of them are entertained…that’s a HUGE privilege as far as I’m concerned! 🙂

  2. Agreed 😊

      1. Thanks! Although how you came up with yours- I couldn’t possibly fathom!

    1. Thank You Pisaries! 🙂

  5. It sometimes takes multiple readings for me to get the gist of your musings, but I always end up enjoying how intelligent you sound and how insightful you are. The internet (and especially the hells that have become The Comment Sections) needs more people like you. Don’t stop the musing (and I did not intend for that to come out sounding like a certain Journey song).

    1. Thank You Ms. Crystal! Indeed—there are few lower life forms than Youtube commenters LOL! (And I love Journey!) 🙂

  6. Well said. There is very lil we can do to control the external world. However, what we have complete control over is our action, attitude and will power.

    1. Right! And our enjoyment in taking a chance!
