The hardest thing to do is wait

My cousin said to me that she is tired of taking the long way to her next level. She says this while she has been offered a lead role with an opera company that she has worked with before. She is currently in contract negotiations with them. They are willing to pay her what she is asking as well as playing a part that not many black women play. So I told her it is better to take the long way then to have nothing to do but wait on a phone call. That is the longest way to go. If you are busy then the next level seems easier to bare while you are waiting but if you have a lot of free time on your hands waiting for just your next gig so it can lead to your next level is the hardest thing to do. While you are waiting - in your mind you are hopeful that a part is booked from a recent call back, or you are confident that the part is yours then the longer you waiting - you may start to doubt that the part is yours - then you start reflecting on the call back you felt so confident about and you say to yourself maybe I didn't do as well as I thought - then you get depressed thinking that you suck and maybe you need to do something else - but in all of your thinking and all of your levels of emotions know that no matter what - WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU IS FOR YOU. STOP DOUBTING YOUR SKILLS, KEEP BELIEVING AND KEEP IT MOVIN. Deep down inside you know what the truth is. Do you know the truth when you hear it? ... Only if the truth is within you..is when you will recognize it when you hear it.
