Forgettable Reads

09/07/2024

Today's came from Michael Caine:

When asked about his life philosophy, and especially what he learned from the worst movies he ever made..

"Use the difficulty"

If it's a comedy, trip over it and roll down as many flights of stairs as possible, dramatically, with flair and lots of noise.

If it's a drama, pick up it up and smash the **** to bits.

Whatever difficulties life may present you, always ask if there is some way you can use it, even a fraction of a percent, to make something better...

or simply avoid them if not. 🫠🥲🤣

Episode 16: Dance? Or Achieve?
Most people hesitate to put their creative work forward because it might not be successful... or they might make a fool of themselves. That's what happens when we are outcome-oriented.

It's a tricky shift learning to dance in process, and to measure progress over perfection. Tonight's readings were written by the narrator during the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown.
