The sooner they can let go of any concerns about people-pleasing, being liked, impressing, not being enough, etc., and truly reframing their mission, the sooner they will be liberated and they will be living truthfully authentically to themselves.

First thing’s first; understand that none of the people that you admire know what they are doing. They’re all making it up as they go along because there isn’t a perfect recipe that you can follow that will give you a great play, book, script, or record. That’s the madness and the glory of it.

Hmmm... Seeing as I feel like I'm just getting started myself, any advice from me should be taken with that in mind. But I would say first, always say yes to anything you are comfortable with. Even if you have limited experience, you owe it to yourself to try. Coming off of that though, never allow anyone to make you feel like your boundaries are wrong. There is no opportunity in the world that is worth you belittling yourself.
