In her late teens, my daughter had ideas of becoming an actress. She didn't succeed not because she lacked talent but because she didn't want it enough and was not prepared to go through the slog that would take her there.

So my question is do you want to succeed enough? I am sure being older than she was then, you have the life experience to know what you will have to do, but do you want to do it enough?

As an aside, my daughter now teaches adults with special needs, is good at it and enjoys it and I am sure her degree in drama has proved valuable in what she eventually did.
