I am afraid to chase my dreams...?
Hi there,
I have always loved to act and make music and I just can't even imagine how beautiful life would be if I could wake up every day and know that my job was to do one of those things. I want nothing more out of life. However I am just graduating high school and I am very good and math and science and am probably going to end up studying computer science, or engineering or business at college because I'm good at those things. My only other dream job would be to work high up in a baseball team... like as a general manager. But i so desperately want to be an actor or musician, but im afraid i will fail and i will be disappointed with myself that i threw all of the promise that i had in a secure career. what do i do?? be disappointed that i never gave myself a chance to be happy, or be sad that i threw away success?

It is okay to be afraid because we don't know what the future looks like. I also had a few fears of my own; what my future would like or if I make the wrong choice in my life or my dreams. I am still looking for what I would want to be happy with and the thing that I can accomplish.
The only dream I have in mind now is making others happy, seeing their happiness not only makes me feel better about myself but that I have taken the time and the work required to have successful results.
I feel you are a passionate and an intelligent person who is willing to be happy, who is willing to work yet you looking at the risks, which is okay to be overcautious.
I advice you before you make a decision to look at all your options according to your talent or gifts and the things you are passionate about.
These two things matter because they are apart of us in a way the things we will be doing in the future.
Your happiness is at most important than anything else in the world. Happiness is what people chase after. So take the chance look at your options, look at things that have a promising or secure future and that you are likely happy with. Also, look at the salary because if the job is ALOT to do, then your salary has to be a high paying job because all the work you will be doing matters, your time and how long your educational needs must be in college (years).
I feel you must take a chance in life because otherwise you will never know how life could have been for you despite the risks ! it is like waking up or sleeping each day or night. You don't know what could happen to you while you are asleep or awake because we take the risks daily! and it improves our confidence in whatever comes our way.
If there is a choice you have chosen and didn't work or something you didn't like about, change it ! but take it with precautions to change with it because these things take some time to adjust with the things we might want to have or how life should look like for us. It is okay to be a little disappointed if something doesn't work, but look at the options you have in mind you'd rather do; take those in place of the things that didn't work and never give up. I don't want you to never give up, I feel that I want you to succeed. Someone like you deserves a beautiful life.
Just because you might fail something in the future or it happens it doesn't define you unless you give up.
I wish you GOOD LUCK !
