Perspective

Perspective; Artists are all too familiar with this word. You write a story from the perspective of another person. You paint a portrait or photograph from a certain perspective. You have to portray someone's perspective of life on a stage or screen. Through these works, we are forced to see life from many sides, angles, and points of view. 
It can be so easy to get lost in your work. To put in countless hours on your creativity and immediately start comparing it or tearing it down. You look at where you are, then where you want to be, and wonder why you aren't there yet. Time to put things into perspective.
I know many people look at the stories of people who have succeeded in the field they wish to succeed in. A good tactic that can show how it can take longer than one might think. At least that's the case for most. I want to encourage you to then take that perspective into your own life. Look at where you are and where you have come from. Don't skip a single step. Look at every time you got up for that audition instead of laying in bed, every time you put pen to paper, and every time you got to that dance class you were too tired to take. Every step matters. 
Look back at every single accomplishment (no matter how small) that brought you to where you are. Now, what is it you want to accomplish? What is the goal? What can you be doing more of to get to where you want to be? What can you be doing RIGHT NOW to change your tomorrow? 
Let's put things into perspective. It's going to take time. It's going to take work. You have what it takes to make your dream a reality. Let's really look into our successes. Let's see where we have fallen short. Let's make changes to get to where we want to go.
