I've never done a movie or a performance that lived up to what I thought it could be.
Because I'm thinking it can be divine.
It comes out.
It may be majorly inspiring.
It may speak to masses everywhere.
or even have some magic to it, but I don't think it's divine.
But if you can find something that can keep you going, something, no matter how small, to look forward to and continually have faith in and chase, well, then your life here will be better than it is now, heaven or not.
Engage in the world.
Go find out some new things.
Learn some new things.
Whether that's
the physical frontier or the mental frontier.
Take more risk there.
Start with what do you have an innate ability to?
What's in your DNA?
You know, I wanted to play basketball for years.
I wanted to dunk.
It ain't in my DNA, bro.
I'm never gonna dunk.
No matter how hard I worked at it, I was never gonna dunk.
