“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.” -Dale Carnagie
I have auditioned for several summer stock theatres and other jobs for the summer and been unsuccessful in getting cast. Now something I was worried about when I decided to persue performing as a career was would I still love performing even when I am not working? Well guess what I STILL DO!! In fact something I have learned since not getting the work that I want to is that this buisness isn't about how talented you are its about what you are right for. It just so happens that I wasn't right for the shows I have auditioned for, but that doesn't discourage me, it makes me want to perform even MORE!! I have learned to love auditions. I mean why not enjoy them?? I get to have a little one man show for three people and then learn a way fun dance!! where is the down side? So although I wish I was getting cast in more shows, I am greatful for the learning opportunities I have had these past few weeks!

Jaron, I was just looking through your moms blog and came across your "finding success in my failures" post. I have to tell you how impressed I am with your outlook. What an awsome young man you are. Your talents will take you to places you never imagined I'm sure. Hang in there. Lots of roads in life are tough with potholes and wrong turns. Keep your faith and beliefs intact and you will get through anything. Lots of luck. Love Rebecca
love the attitude :) there are more opportunities coming up for auditions that i need to tell you about, but we never seem to have free time at the same time. call me when you get the chance!
