When Do You Give Up?

Posted in Uncategorized on September 20, 2012| Leave a Comment »

In darker times, many of you have expressed the feeling of “giving up,” “leaving the business,” “be done with it already,” “enough is enough.” I ask you to watch this video and see what one high school athlete did when she was confronted with this. As we have spoken of, there is great power in completing any challenge. Satisfy yourself and you will have done your best. Follow through and finish it! I look forward to your thoughts. Thank you to Jimmy Brighton for passing this along to me.

Cecil (to Shakespeare): What do you say, writer? Do you show them their souls? Or what they are?
Shag (Shakespeare): Not what they are, but – that they are… They forget.
Cecil: And soul?
Shag: God’s truest name is I am. Each time an actor steps out on a stage, his very being proclaims “I am.” They – (the audience) – with us, for a moment, remember that they ARE. When they see Sharpe here –
