Life is truly magical. You are what you think about. Enjoy one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time, and before you know it, you’ve had an incredible year. People don’t realize the power of their thoughts. Entertainment is interesting because there is no point of reference for success. You don’t get the guarantee of a career after 4 years of education, a certification, or an internship. Every morning you must be thankful for opportunities and seize them as they appear, with patience and a burning desire. You learn to face rejection, persist with faith, and determine your future. Success is a path, not a destination. I get to live my dream daily.

I get the opportunity to explore different perspectives and accept circumstances as my own, expressing human stories which we can all relate to. My travels into human potential only deepens my appreciation for life.
