Q&A: Is it important to do what makes you happy or something that would make the others’ happy?

For example, I’ve always wanted to be an actress. I feel guilt, because my mom has always wanted me to become a teacher or a lawyer, and I know my thoughts make her upset. The thing is that, even if I make money out of being a teacher, I know I am never going to love my work as much as I ‘d love acting.
So what’s better? Doing something that will make you happy, or disappointing others and fail achieving what they consider important?

The answer in the following:

you have to be true to you. i spend a large part of my life trying to be what my family wants and its just not who i am, its not me. so i say you have to find something that you love. if you love it then the people who love you should love it. i mean are we all supposed to want nothing more for our family’s and friends then for them to be happy ???

Why does it have to be either or? Making people happy is never solely altruistic and you can make people happy by being happy yourself.

Your *real* question is whether or not you want to cross your mother. Your mother won’t disown you if you don’t follow her dreams for you exactly. After all, at some point you have to start living life for you, not for your parents.

There are always ways in which to compromise. Most actresses work at other jobs until they get their first, “break”. Going to school and majoring in education and law and minoring in dramatic arts is not difficult proposition. Considering that you can teach dramatic arts in high school or english literature which involves the study of a lot of plays such as by Shakespeare. Law also involves a great deal of theatrics when you watch some of the ways in which lawyers must get their points across to the judge and the jury.
Making yourself happy is what matters at the end of they day. As a mother I would be ecstatic knowing that my children were doing something they enjoyed and getting paid for it. When you do something that fulfils your spirit there is also an excess of happiness that overflows and postively affects those around you. Good luck, and reach for those stars.
