What Im Certain I Dont Want Is To Find Myself Someday In A New Century, An Old Bitter Woman Looking Back,

What I’m certain I don’t want is to find myself someday in a new century, an old bitter woman looking back, wishing that right now I’d had more nerve.

There have been hard moments in my career when I've had an agent or a movie producer say "You are making a big mistake," but what's the point of achieving great success if you feel like you're losing your freakin' mind? I've had to say "Guys, I need to go back to school," or "I just need to go home and hang out with my cats." People have looked at me and been like "Is she insane?" But, actually, it's the opposite of insane.

On my journey I've come to realize so much of what lives inside of us that creates roadblocks and insecurities for us doesn't even belong to us. It comes from other people. Our mothers. Our fathers. Our first serious relationship. The people that didn't show up. Other people's pain. Other people's fears. So I am becoming more fearless. More in touch with what is mine and what I want to hold inside of me -what I want to believe in and create! I am becoming aware of what I want to let go of... especially those things that were given to me by people living in fear. I am becoming more open, more in love with myself and becoming able to let go of anything that doesn't serve the endless possibility within me.
