to sort of piecemeal it together… And don’t be discouraged if somebody turns you down. I’ve certainly had people turn me down.” ACTING & MUSICAL THEATER The reality is that setbacks and opposition are guarantees in all areas of life at one time or another, but if we can learn to shift our perspective to a place that won’t let those setbacks stop us, nothing can impede us from overcoming opposition. Megan shares, “There have been so many times when people have discouraged me from auditioning for a part, even for the job at Inside Edition. My agent at the time told me I wasn’t their type and I didn’t stand a chance. But I had an acting coach right out of college, a wonderful Christian man, who said, ‘Don’t look at it as getting the job. Look at it as an experience, and go in wanting to learn something about yourself or meet somebody new.’ If you go in for feedback, or you go in to just overcome some public speaking fears or to just try something new, it changes everything.” This change in perspective, coupled with the truth that God made you as a unique individual with talents, perspectives, and a distinctive physical appearance that only you have, counteracts one of the biggest lies that the world continually boasts…that you need to change who you are, how you look, and the way you think to match what somebody else thinks. Megan adds, “My message to everyone is that there have been times people have told me that I was not the right type, I should not go in for that audition. I want people to know, especially young girls, you are unique and you have to be proud of who you are.

C O M there have literally been times where if I had listened to those voices, I would have not gotten the job. Be proud of what you look like. It is awesome to be different.” Megan’s desire is to encourage people who are faced with difficult choices to “stick up for themselves, hold true to how they were raised—their faith, their values, and their family.” She reassures that when you do that, “You won’t just survive, you can thrive!” Four ways to overcome opposition and stay true to yourself and God: • Reset daily: Every day is unique and will require you to approach it differently than the day before. • Write your “Mission Statement:” A short written form of self accountability to refocus on the big picture. • Find accountability: Find like-minded dreamers to surround yourself with, and find individuals from whom to gleen insight into where you want to go. • Shift your perspective: Rejection is going to come, so ground yourself in the truth that you are wonderfully and uniquely made.
