How do I become consistent?
I struggle with consistency. I know nobody's perfect and lose themselves in comfort sometimes but for me, it's almost like I don't care about the tasks I said I'll do. Maybe because I left room for negotiations, lost in the moment I never actually move. I can make bold decisions, sure. Confront my fear, doing things scared. But when it comes to maintaining a thing that's boring, repetitive? Yeah, no. Not everything. But most of thing that haven't become my habits yet. I know it's important that's why I'm asking for any advice! I've read and applied almost all of your answers. I appreciate it, sincerely. :)
How to improve my communication skills?
I am a 7th grader and have always hated to present alone up in front of my class. No matter what I'm scared of either messing up or doing something I shouldn't have. Just wondering how to over work that fear, and be able to feel confident in front of many.
My severe fear of being poor for the rest of my life, is prohibiting me for going after my dreams. What can I do?
I come from a very poor family. I'm the oldest of 10 kids, and both my parents work blue collar jobs. We were absolutely broke. We didn't have a working car until later in my life. They couldn't afford to pay bills. We got christmas gifts from our local church. We struggled. Growing up, I knew that I wanted to make movies. Movies were the only thing I had. I felt like they belonged to me. Movies babysat us children. I got into severeal prestigious film schools after HS and couldn't afford any of them. My parents were poor with bad credit. This sent me down a dark path full of addiction. I got terrible grades in community college, because I was too drunk. I'm now clean and sober, and trying to salvage the rest of my life. I'm 21 and I have a severe fear of being poor for the rest of my life. It keeps me up at night. I can't spend money like a normal person. Bills and everyday expenses send me into an anxiety inducing headspin. I'm someone who wants to do it all in movies. I want to direct, write, act, produce, etc...All professions that have no safety net. I could spend the next 20 years of my life poor, waiting for someone to give me a chance. College is now out of the question. I'm currently in a 1 year EMT class, and i'm doing pretty well. I figured it would hold me over until I can see a future in film. I have made short films. I have written screenplays. I have acted on stage and in short films. All through the past 5+ years. I have some experience. I'm just afraid. I don't want to experience the feeling my parent's did when raising us. I wouldn't want to have kids. That's too painful. Does anyone have any advice? #career #film #Director #Screenwriter #Entertainment #Fear
