Unless you are really grounded and have a true sense of reality, you can get lost in that and a lot of people do and that's why you see so many people with successful careers but with destructive lives.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Career is a mindset. The wrong mindset. Career is linear. Especially when you are trapped in the TV or film world. The next thing you do has always got to be bigger, or it is perceived as a failure.
People don't choose their careers; they are engulfed by them.
I think people tend to fall into their careers sometimes, and maybe that's a lucky path to follow because you actually end up doing your purpose.
I feel like a lot of people have a hard time finding what they do, or they have a job or career and not a passion. That's miserable for me. Just find your purpose; understand that you have one life to live.
I think that's what keeps you grounded - having your own life that's not directed by your job.
It's this idea that success changes you as a person... I've never seen my career that way.
You need to have a life outside your career.
If you don't see something as a career but as an important part of your life, you don't know how you're going to feel about it.
I feel there is a big sense of accomplishment and achievement and self worth through what you do no matter what the job, no matter what you decide to dedicate your life to.
It's not what you achieve, it's what you overcome. That's what defines your career.
