When you like something and you're pretty good at it and you can make a living doing it, you don't ask why. You just count your blessings and go with it.
The only thing true about what you just said was the storybook damsel part - and that only because you're pretty enough to be one.
If everybody likes you, you're pretty dull.
As an artist, you're pretty sheltered backstage. You often don't know what's going on out there.
Once you decide to do something, and you're pretty sure you're right, then you gotta go ahead and do it. Because if you piddle around, somebody else will beat you to it.
