Do you know what I mean?

Like someone, like someone else, I just, if I imitate that person or that's, you know, and I always say it actually often feels like there's just like a door that if you could just like get behind the door, then everything will make sense.

And I think eventually you really have to like face down that question of like, what is successful to me?

But then one of the things that happens in life is you like open a door and you like walk through it and you're like, oh shit, there's another door.

Do you know what I mean?

And it's like this never ending set of doors.

You know, obviously that becomes then like, what is success?

And, you know, I always, I think about this a lot for like,

you know, so much of the goal in the world of Hollywood and whatever is like, oh, win an Oscar, get this award, whatever.

You know, I think of those as kind of external definitions of success, meaning they look successful to other people.

And I'm always like, yeah, but then you win an Oscar.

And then it's like, but then I need to win another Oscar.

And I think when I was early in my career, that is how I thought about success.

Like, it's like all these doors that again, you get through it.

I was like, I'm just going to crush this stuff and get promoted.

And you're like, but I'm not, you know, I'm not Julia Roberts, or I'm not Meryl Streep.

And other people will.

And like, am I successful?

It matters to me what other people think of me.

And I think eventually, you really have to like face down that question of like, what is successful to me?
