From out-of-work actor to spiritual success

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

A few years after I graduated from college with a theatre degree, my best friend and I decided to pursue professional acting work. We wrote a play and decided to move to Sydney, New South Wales, where we felt there were more opportunities to perform our work and to make a living from it.

I quit my teaching job, packed up all my belongings and moved interstate. My friend was to follow me. We had told all of our friends about our plan. It was very exciting.

A few months later, I was still waiting for my friend to arrive. One day she called and told me she wasn’t coming. She’d been offered a job as an acting teacher in her home town.
