The good thing about being a child star is that you get an amazing amount of encouragement up front…that you’re doing a good job and should keep going.
The truth is, the talent might be there and it might not. But you’re a kid and you’re a star…so there’s a lot of positivity and you have plenty of TIME to actually get good.
It’s easy to get down on ourselves when we start getting confused about what role encouragement and time have on the thing we’re building.
You’re never going to get enough encouragement…but encouragement from respected sources is priceless and is wind in the sails.
You weren’t a child star so you’re already late to the game…It’s not too late. And the you five years from now will think the present day you was plenty young to start the thing or keep the thing going that you wanted to build.
