Insecurity sucks

"I'll never be good enough."
"I'm not funny."
"I waste my time doing anything besides what pays the bills. "

Bullshit and lies. What's not a lie? EVERYONE suffers from some insecurities. Yet, there are people out there who find a way to get past themselves and do what they want to do in life. People love them. Reading and listening to interviews of people you would think would be proud of what they've done and not worry at all about their lives and success, you realize very quickly, that they are a lot like you and I. They second guess themselves. They are embarrassed by compliments. They think they suck. They can't understand why anyone would want to pay attention to them.

So, how did they become successful? What kept them going?

They just kept doing what they loved to do and didn't let themselves rest.

If success is determined by how much effort you put into something, so that you become great at it, why not put that effort into something you actually love.

I crunched some numbers the other day. I've worked over 3000 hours at my job this year. I've spent about 4-500 hours on improv. The imbalance of that is retarded and it's a shame that it has to be that way. I don't like my job. I love improv and comedy. My goal for next year is to get those two numbers closer together.
