Navigate to your best life
This week, I absorbed a fantastic 5-hour documentary about one of my favorite directors, called Mr. Scorsese, made by Rebecca Miller.
Whether you enjoy his films or not, you likely know his name. (Fair warning: these movies are often violent and not for everyone).
I have seen 17 of his films and enjoyed all but one (Skip The Irishman). My favorites are Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, The Departed, Shutter Island, Wolf of Wall Street, and Killers of the Flower Moon.
What feels relevant to share is how struck I was by the trajectory of his career. With so much success over five decades, I presumed he could rely consistently on being a wanted talent.
Nope. It was constant up’s and down’s…
As I was cleaning and reorganizing my shed over the last two days, I was thinking of how much we all do from pure internal motivation.
Frankly, it’s exhausting. For some reason, somebody else cheering you on in your endeavors feels so fabulous.
Thusly, I occasionally sent video messages to friends, showing them the mess and the progress. It did help to be witnessed.
Today, I want to offer you some encouraging words to instill a little external motivation around something you feel is a drag.
