🌟 FEATURE STORY from the desk of Joey Freddy Larsen: FAITH OVER FEAR

If you have ever caught yourself holding back from an opportunity because you felt unready, unseen, or scared... this one is for YOU.

The number one thing that keeps actors from the life and career of their dreams is not lack of talent…

It is FEAR.

Fear whispers lies.

It tells you that you are not ready. That you might fail. That you should wait until you feel confident.

And every time you listen, you shrink a little smaller.

But everything you want lives on the other side of fear.

Now, I am not talking about the fear that keeps you from touching a hot stove or running into traffic. That fear keeps you alive.

I am talking about the emotional kind, the sneaky kind that sounds reasonable.

The fear that says:

β€œDon’t reach out to that agent.”
β€œYou’re not ready for that role.”
β€œWait until things feel safer.”

That fear does not keep you safe. It keeps you stuck.

Fear convinces you to pause.
Then it convinces you to shrink.
And one day, you realize you stopped showing up altogether.
Not because you failed, but because you believed a lie.

Fear is the absence of FAITH.

Faith is the knowing that you are guided, capable, and connected to something far greater that will assist you in creating a better future.

Ask yourself:

β€’    Where has fear been steering my choices lately?

β€’    How has it shaped my actions?

β€’    And do those actions move me closer to my dream, or farther away?

As an actor, fear might show up like this:
🎭 Not submitting for bigger roles.
🎬 Avoiding self-tapes because β€œyou’re not ready.”
🎀 Skipping that open mic or showcase.
πŸ’Έ Putting off investing in your growth.

Fear says, β€œWhat if it doesn’t work?”
Faith says, β€œWhat if it DOES?”

And right now, the world is overflowing with fear.
Turn on your feed, your news, or your thoughts, and you will see it everywhere.

But not you.
Not anymore.

Your job (as an actor and as a human) is to be a BEACON OF LIGHT.
To keep your faith so strong that you help others see through illusion.
To stay grounded, joyful, and in your power when fear rises up.

When fear shows up, smile and say:
β€œHey there, fear. I see you. Nice try. But I choose faith.”

Because every time you choose faith, everything changes.
You open doors you once thought were locked.
You attract opportunities you once thought were out of reach.
You remember who you really are:

LOVE. LIGHT. STARDUST. INFINITE POTENTIAL.

πŸ’« Choose FAITH over FEAR every single day.
That is the moment you stop waiting for someone else to discover you...
and start rediscovering the power that has been inside you all along.

That is what makes them UNSTOPPABLE.
