What are you dreaming of?
When I was growing up - even with the qualifications, if you wanted to show your art work you needed a gallery to represent you, to publish a book you needed an agent/publisher, if you had a name you might get an advance. Similarly if you wanted to be on TV or in the movies the agent would come into play and there was a very small window of opportunity if that - with certain roles going to the select few and you might be lucky to get a few walk on parts in a crowd scene. 'Its who you know not what you know' were words I heard my father say a few times. There were no guarantees, if it was thought that 'your face didn't fit' chances were slim to none.
But would you allow that to stop you?
Many have stopped short on their dreams, maybe having thought of what they want to do with the lists bouncing around their heads, having resigned themselves to not even getting close, maybe meeting a celebrity is the icing on the cake or reciting to who ever will listen how they 'nearly got to' 'always wanted to' came close to' pursuing their dream. The graveyard is full of unfulfilled dreams and visions.
For every problem that exists there are thousands looking for the solution or alternative solution, the answer comes in many shapes and forms. What if you held the keys to the very thing that others were looking for? What if you didn't do it in the traditional sense but from a different point of view? Becoming the publisher for the field that you want to enter!

The use of technology now a days means that you can be at one part of the world providing a solution for someone on the other side of the world while pursuing the dreams of your heart - what you have been dreaming about, wanted to pursue, someone else wants that product, solution, and it is sitting in your head, in your heart, and on your note pad.
So in the scenarios that I gave earlier and being of the artistic kind (the writer, actor and artist) - the tables have turned on your ability as a creative to get your work in front of those who need and want to see it, sell your work, show in a gallery, publish that book and more.
It is time to create your own story - see the vision and make it plain...., it starts with a thought, you have to write it down and then look from every perspective to see how you can make that baby become a reality.
Don't over complicate it for instance agonizing where you are going to sell your book before you have written a sentence. If you want to publish a book it first starts with you writing, forming a habit, and putting down on paper that which you want to achieve. Why not join a challenge or two like 'the Ultimate Blog Challenge - posting every day for 30 days) and not only be committed to yourself but to sharing and being among others who are pursuing their dreams. When you know what you want to do and the steps that you need to take, when those discouraging times come and you don't feel like showing up, you show up anyway.
So with that said, I believe in you!!, I know that you can do all that you set out to do, change your perspective, speak encouraging words to yourself and get around others who are encouraging, reaching for their own dreams. Like you I am working towards the dreams and goals that I have - I am not an expert, just someone who thought you needed to hear these words of encouragement today.
Now, go be the amazing soul I know you can be - I believe in you!
Stay blessed and be a blessing!
