Never Give Up!!!

Whenever I have attempted something, I have always had this niggly thought in the back of my mind: Just give up!

If I had ever gone along with these words, I wouldn't be where I am today!

To enlighten you even more, I am a lifelong supporter and season ticket holder of the English Premier League team, Everton.

I have been to many a game at Goodison Park and even in the depths of relegation battles, Everton, like myself, never gave up and always came out better for it!

With this in mind, when it comes to acting and my career, I have never let anyone make me think its not worth doing.

People can always upset you and knock your confidence, but the likelyhood is that they are jealous of you.

I recently had a casting for an ITV police drama of which I never heard anything from it; this hasn't knocked me, hasn't disappointed me or upset me as I know the people who were casting it will always keep me in mind for future projects.

There is always something out there for you, as I have always believed if it was meant to be then it was meant to be!

I know I'll always get something because I never give up. My agent love loves my attitude as I'm always keeping my skills up, my photos up to date and my CV tidy and to the point!

You should always do what you want to do!

People get easily distracted in life by other jobs, partners, sports, children and many other things; but its just having a little bit of focus to aim for your goals that will at least make you think, if it doesn't work out, at least I gave it a real go!

I'm planning on going to Los Angeles within the next six months to fulfil a dream of mine of auditioning for American casting directors. Things are falling into place for certain things which leads me to believe I'm definitely heading there.

I've never given up on anything and it always disappoints me when some people give up to easily. I love being positive about everything I or people close to me do. Being positive will only attract positive things! This is good!!

If I have given you something to think about from this then great.

If I have given you some positivity back which you may have lost along the way, then even better.

Thanks for reading!
