to seek to attain or accomplish a particular goal...to find or employ measures to obtain or accomplish
if you have...
booked a commercial,
had a one liner on a show or film,
was an extra,
have been in any type of stage production...you are not doing any of the above, so stop saying it.
"i'm an aspiring actress"
"i'm trying to be an actor"
"i'm out here trying to do this hollywood thing"
well you know what? you will continue to aspire to be, and be in pursuit of...
you have to be okay with where you are in life.
don't get me wrong, continue to work for more.
if you're running a marathon, you are not aspiring to run a marathon, shit, you're doing it.
we set ourselves up for failure when we say these things. So the next time someone asks "what do you do?
"i am an actress"
"i am out here doing this hollywood thing"
"i am living my dream"
believe me, your life and career will change.
