until they can get good at their craft.

And this could be for a period of 10 years of just having bad performances, having people not like what you do, like banging your head against the wall.

But that obsession with breaking through.

And when I say breaking through, I don't mean breaking through to the audience.

I mean, breaking through with themselves to where they get past the

all of the blocks and to be free in this moment in a way where they can really express their views and be heard and people can react.

It's a fascinating thing.

But I think in general, people don't like to be told what to do.

So the best way that you could inspire someone to do something is through the way that you carry yourself

If you act in a creative way in the world and you do it to the best of your ability, and if someone else recognizes it, it might inspire them to do the same.

So I think it's hard to teach someone something that we don't practice.

We have to practice it.

Maybe your purpose in life isn't related to your job.

Maybe your job is your job, and the job is the thing that supports you.

And then the rest of your waking hours are devoted to your purpose, whatever that is.

If you need to have a job to support yourself, that's great.

That's a noble thing to do.

And follow your dreams.

But I'm not saying they're one thing.

They don't have to be one thing.
