'SUCCESS' AND 'FAME'....ANOTHER SPIN TO IT...
A few statements that I agree with:
"Success is not always a material issue"
"Those who are successful are the people who have the ability and courage to go forward, even when it means falling down a few times, and to pick their Self up quickly"
"Success is neverending ...There is never a point when you should feel you have achieved everything"
"Success is about facing fears straight on and dealing with them"
"Success is widening your confort zone and putting your Self in a position that may be uncomforatble"
"Success is always hard work"
...Now lets talk about the topic of what it is to be famous and a 'star'...
This is the funny thing, I was talking to a close friend who said that stardom is about reaching Hollywood red carpet status...and I frowned. So she asked why...
I've known many who are classified as stars in their own right, yet have never left the UK! They are successful in thier field of work or contribute to their community and are known for their achievements --not all of them earn $$$, but they sure are known for who they stand for.
And for those who think that Stardom come only be achieved in one way...is so wrong!
To me, thats an excuse.
If someone wants to be a star, then there are so many ways to go about it... Starting from taking chances and being involved in projects around them. Looking out for the opportunities and seeing where you can fit into the picture...
My good friend is not an exceptionally model like girl (but she is gorgeous!) , she isn't doing Westend musicals or on the big screen, but she hosts a wonderful show on the online radio that touches people all over London and world wide. She took that chance to see a place where she could contribute her worth and expand it to others
...And she is famous. Famous for all the right reasons too.
Thats just an example.
The internet...what a place to be famous!
People world wide have access to YOU.
So why not make your own spot and be famous in the way you are...the good that you can contribute...
Yes, its not all about being on top model mags and TV shows... its just looking out for a place to be YOU and shine.
To be honest, if being successful or being a star means being like today's celebrities --then I'd rather not be one!
