Navigating the Challenges of Being an Actor
The journey of being an actor is filled with ups and downs, with moments of success and periods of uncertainty. It can be challenging to separate one's self-worth from how one's work is received and valued. Society often places importance on one's profession, causing actors to feel the need to justify their value to others. This pressure can lead to self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. It is an ongoing process to dissociate personal worth from external validation and to find fulfillment in the love and passion for the craft itself.
