The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.
To fulfill the highest most truthful expression of yourself as a human being. You want to max out your humanity by using your energy to lift yourself up， your family and the people around you.
I want you to know， it isn’t always clear in the beginning because as I said I had been on television since I was 19 years old. But around ’94 I got really clear. So don’t expect the clarity to come all at once， to know your purpose right away.
And when you’re down in the hole， when that moment comes， it’s really okay to feel bad for a little while. Give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost but then here’s the key， learn from every mistake because every experience， encounter， and particularly your mistakes are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are. And then figure out what is the next right move.
And when you do I want you to know this， remember this: there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction. Now when you’re down there in the hole， it looks like failure. So this past year I had to spoon feed those words to myself.
