Myths and Truths About Becoming Famous
As children, many of us have daydreamed of what it must be like to be famous. I remember dreaming of being famous at everything, a singer, an actor, a dancer, an artist, a business owner (my first idea was to open a shop that specialized in nothing but greeting cards, tee-shirts, jewelry…). But as we get older and so-called reality slips in with all of its doubts and apprehensions, we lose our dreams of grandeur and settle for an okay life mainly guided by the needs, wants and dreams of others.
As we get into high school and college, becoming famous seems more like faded dream than any reality that we can possibly conjure up. Then we settle into compromising positions at a 9 to 5 and we think the only way we can become famous now is to win the lottery.
