Journey to Success


Success is not given, success does not find you, and success is not measured by how much money you have. Success is measured by how much hard work, time, and dedication you put into your dream. If you want to become a successful doctor you would have to put in long hours of studying, eight years or more of college and medical school, and work hard to after that to become a successful doctor. If you want to become a successful movie director, or producer, you would have to go to a film school, intern with a production company or major network, network with people in the industry, and work on as many film projects as you can until you become successful in your craft.


I am on my journey to become a successful screenwriter, director, and producer. I have been on this journey for a while because I have had many obstacles in my way but I will not let the obstacles stop me from becoming successful at something I love so much. I have always been told that when one door closes another one will open, and that is the way I have looked at things all of my life.  I have always put myself, dreams, and needs aside to ensure my family were taken care of, but I have learned over the years that if I do not put myself first and work towards my dream, then my dreams will be lost and no one will care because they either achieved their dreams or are on the path to achieve their dreams.
 
This is why I have achieved the goal of a college education, because not many people in my family can say that they achieved a college education due to disabilities, or lack of motivation. I am now in graduate school to achieve me Master’s Degree in Entertainment Business, this will bring me one step closer to my dream.

It is very important to never give up on your dream, because you can become something greater than what you are now. Everyone has a dream, and it is important to lock in on your dream, learn everything in the industry you chose, and master your craft, because you control your destiny. Everyone will have obstacles in their way to success, it is up to you overcome each obstacle with determination, a positive mindset, self-control, and perseverance you will overcome the obstacles in your way.

  1. Interesting discussion about success and what needs to be done in order to achieve it. Success is relative. If you set goals and strive to be successful, chances are that you will be.
