At any point during your career in modeling or acting career, you will most likely experience a lot of rejection. You won’t be able to win every part, book every show, or make the cover of every magazine. However, you should see this as a positive thing!
Anyone pursuing a career in modeling will have to develop a thick skin. An acting career is filled with pitfalls and disappointment. Stay positive! Be responsible for your feelings and find other ways to make yourself happy, even when rejection gets you down. You don’t want your negativity to affect your performance at future opportunities!
Instead of focusing on your failures, focus on your small triumphs. Reward yourself for meeting someone new at an audition or making a new industry connection. Surround yourself with positive people during your journey to secure a career in modeling or while pursuing your acting career – you will want friends to encourage you!
