The Motivational Success Story Of Emilia Clarke - From Unknown Actress To Mother Of Dragons In GOT
Everyone knows Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons in Game of Thrones fantasy series. But not many people know that she was completely unknown before getting the iconic role. She only had two filming credits on her résumé.
Her father didn't think she'd make it as an actress. ''When I told my dad I wanted to be an actress, he replied that there was only one line I needed to learn, 'Do you want fries with that?' ''
After finishing school, Emilia Clarke applied in 3 British drama schools, but none of them accepted her application.
. Before Emilia Clarke became the Mother of Dragons in Game of Thrones, she used to work three to six different jobs just to get by.
"I was doing a call center job, I was a waitress and I was working in a bar somewhere in East London. Unemployed actor, that was what I was doing. I had only just come out of drama school one year before this happened."
She didn’t lose hope that one day she'll get an interesting offer that will change her life.That day came when her agent called with the exciting news that she landed an audition for a new HBO show, Game of Thrones.
She had only 24 hours to prepare for the audition if she wanted to get the part. And How did she prepared in that short period of time?
Emilia Clarke had to call in sick to her catering job and learned everything she could from Wikipedia about George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire". Four days later she got the part of Daenerys Targaryen.
But What if she actually listened to her father and didn't try to pursue her dream to be an actress? If she didn't believe in herself... well Her life would be very different right now.
We often allow doubt, insecurities, low self-esteem or other people's opinions to question our decisions, our abilities, our dreams.
People will always point out your flaws and constantly remind you of your failures, constantly telling you that you can't make it. That you're not good enough. That you're unrealistic. That you're a fool to even think about dreaming bigger.
Believing in yourself does not mean that you won’t have failures. You will. But you will get up, wash the dirt off you and keep going.
Because at some point in your life, You will be surrounded with people who will point your failures and make you to doubt yourself. You should never let anyone to have that kind of power over you. You are the only person who is in control of your life. That's why you should NEVER stop believing in yourself.
And Once you really believe that you Can stand up and fight for your dream, you will find a way to make it work, even if the odds of success are against you. You WILL make it work!
Because..If you don’t believe in yourself, who else will?
