If you want to live in your passion, whatever your passion is,
you have to be willing to not make money at it.
If you wanna do what you love
you gotta do, you have to pick
you have a choice: you can choose money or you can choose what you love.
my parents, and i'm sure, like most people's parents say
"get a good job, try and make some money, make a good living"
And I think that's the cure if we make go and and make money.
you lose that job you know use the money we have nothing. If you choose your
passion actually as a matter when we make money to lose money because they're
always an actor passion be happy actually matter about your sickness.
Right! And and but the challenge of that is that it might be eight years or four
years before actually making a living at first it's personal something else.
Emelia when I wrote her I thought nobody would read it I thought nobody would
read it I thought this story's so crazy I just have to tell this story. These
things that seemed you can spend all your time trying to engineer the perfect
thing and the truth is we have no control we just don't know what's going
to work or what's not going to work.
We're here because we're emitting we're a little bit broken something to learn
we haven't should you do it you want to take in all the criticism that comes in.
And work on what you need to work on so it don't take it personally you have to
have the filter inside that takes in all criticism not personally and not
judgmentally you take in the criticism you think is that true maybe it's a hard
look at yourself. If it's true you work to solve them and change it it's not you
just throw it out and move out. Enjoy the journey not the destination. A lot of
us delay our happiness when I get to this level when I get my degree when I
get the kids when I get married I'm going to be happy. Enjoy the journey
enjoy the whole step, the whole process every day that you get up to
scrap or whatever it is you're after you don't have a goal Laurie and it got. Yeah!
But you don't celebrate when you get to the finish will have celebrate all along
the way. [Applause] How do I seek revenge because I could even we comprehend the alternative.The
biggest poison in us is regret. You won the ultimate ultimate lottery and
you're not driven? And you're not fired up and they're not going for it? And
you're willing to sit like a lump and just wait to you die? Success without
fulfillment is the ultimate failure.
Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. If you're going to have
an extraordinary life one of the master skills for actually creating that life
is mastering this. Mastering the ability to take what you envision and make it
real.
It's always worth it to do your best and to believe in something and to work
towards the attainment of the goal and if it is but you have to expand your
vision. Then you climb higher and you do that and you don't be afraid to.
I'm sitting between intellect and instinct. Intellect can described but only
instinct can fell.
And from the premise of that ideology and the Gila go back through all of my
life and begin to see not only me but others how I think prepositionally myself between intellect and instinct.
The lazy boy chair hit the remote control watch a HBO and cinemax. And we were all hell. Right through. [Applause's]
That's what you get to see what you got.
Hope and creativity are two of the most important things in the world.
To any creative person who's had a door slammed in their face.
Or actors who have had their auditions cut off or waiting for a callback that
didn't come. Or anybody anywhere really that feels like giving up sometimes.
It finds it in themselves to get up.
He's moving forward I share this with you.
Because the truth is if you want to be an anomaly he's got an athlete.
I love the climb and the step back is excite.
I love when something goes wrong its were I shine the most.
This is hard every day is hard. And if you don't have the stomach to whether
with forth you will not be successful.
What you got considered neighbor found made of something.
We're we strong, were just being so deprive when were not because there's a lot of money a lot
of money and telling us that we're not pretty enough. Think enough.
Smart enough, good enough that I want to tell you that best school teacher.
If you really want to change you're really stuck I know nothing I'm letting go of
everything and I'm sort of going to relearn as I go with a childlike mind.
Sort of being in touch with you and going where you want to go and not being
afraid of lead people behind is what's going to actually make you a leader. Just
choose one thing to move toward and then the path and then just go with the path
you'll end up somewhere which is just stand you're trying to decide what to do.
You'll still be here in a year two years three years four you. Just choose
something you're kind of like and don't hate. And then start moving toward it and
you'll find that the course and path of life will bring you exactly where is
going to be. And you can make money doing anything and the thing you'll make the
most money on is the thing you like the most.
Don't take it personally not just for pickup but for life in
general. Everyone's a jerk to you someday and you and when someone's been asked on
the street and bumps into you and says stuff. It's not about you it's you know
he's a jerk. If you have a day and you lose your job and your girlfriend breaks
up with you and you crash your car the world doesn't hate you. You've just had a bad day.
But if we don't physically make a decision how we're going to live then
we'll show up like everybody else. Because the human mind is not going to
make you happy.
This brain of yours won't do it. You have to direct it and there's no worse fate
than to achieve everything an not be fulfilled.
