Ready for the big time? Is stardom on your list of objectives?

If you’re sure you’ve got what it takes to be the next Mick Jagger, Leonardo DeCaprio, or other media heart-throb — and you’re currently selling insurance in Topeka, Kansas — you’ve got a problem.

You’d be surprised how many believe they’re the next Garth Brooks or Taylor Swift, just waiting to be discovered because they can sing a little, or play an instrument, or had the lead role in the high school production of Hamlet.

The truth?

They’re suffering from a common malady — addiction to a fantasy.

And it’s not only those who aspire to success in the entertainment industry.

It also includes folks who are sure they’re going to invent the next Pet Rock or Beanie Baby — and are waiting for inspiration to strike.
