Do What You Believe

In this career... it can be easy to lose sight of why you are doing it or where you are headed. The one thing that I have found empowering - is a strong understanding of where I want to go and belief in what I’m doing. I think a solidifying sense of where my passion lies and a stronger sense of my artistry has resulted in me heading towards 2019 in a subtly confident light. Nobody is going to hand me anything on a plate. I am lucky to have amazing people backing me and believing in me ... but the important thing is believing in myself and my passions. This is hard for me to type as I never want to come across as cocky. However, I think after starting to write my own material and make more of my own connections, has left me with an empowered feeling that has recharged me as a performer more so than ever before.
I love the creative arts, and I am never not going to act (corny, I know). But it’s so much more than that. It’s a passion that fuels my lifestyle.

This blog is a little sporadic I feel, I’m not being very specific. But essentially - the point is - when you realise you react differently to something whereas a few years ago it would have wiped the floor from beneath you; then you realise you are the master of your own destiny. A peaceful dose of patience as well as self-belief has allowed me to be less restless as a performer and from that - after reflecting over the past year - more doors have opened for me than ever before. I try to say ‘yes’ most of the time, I try to support all of the projects and friends I believe in supporting, and I make sure to stay proactive and alive in regards to my passion and career. How amazing it is to say my career and passion are intertwined. I’m seeking less approval in the politest kind of way.
