Is it about selling and feeling judged when you want to be great or is it about letting people guide you and learn to be a rock star? I too want to make the most of my life and be a rock star, however I have learnt to distinguish between selling myself to make others see that I am a star and choosing my teachers and ways to become one without the hard sell and judgmental exams. I think I want to find different ways to my greatness and I don't think the whole idol or PhD thing is the way to go, for me personally. Hmm, interesting.

I had my "free" health club renewal training session yesterday and the trainer naturally was trying to sell training sessions and I felt like I had to defend myself because I felt I WAS in fairly good shape. I felt like I had to "try out" for my own health and well-being. Yuck! I know how you feel.

I've auditioned all my life — for jobs, friends, men, colleagues, etc. — and I've HAD IT. I don't need the rejection, and I'm really not very interested anymore in the applause. People can start auditioning for me, thank you very much. I'm through trying to sell myself. Interesting post. Thanks. Personally, I’m refusing to audition for anything anymore.
