Fascinating. So many people put such emphasis on financial success. But for those who have already “succeeded” in a financial, the growth edge is seeing a creative vision realized. No matter what the cost.
And some of us want to do this before having millions in the bank… 😹 our souls have no idea what to do with all those arbitrary zeros on a balance sheet. 💰
So perfectly said Cristy!! I was thinking that I didn't quite make the point in the piece that Kevin Costner won't be destitute if he takes these risks (or anywhere close), the way some of us feel things are heading after these last few incredibly tough years. Still, our souls rebel at the thought of doing anything that is not aligned (and as I always find, my body rebels next if I try to override the soul's calling).
I love how Costner knows that it might not work out, but he feels compelled to follow his heart, critics be damned. That not trying--and letting the money rule his life (or the fear of losing it)--is the bigger failure. I feel the same way! Just no clue how to juggle these factors lately without all those zeroes waiting in the bank 😆
After watching JLo's "WTAF just happened here?" downfall and now Kevin Costner's, I'm particularly intrigued by stars who don't seem to have people around them who are willing to push back and say "Um, this seems like a bad idea." All I've heard about Part 1 of this movie series is that it desperately needed an editor to cut back an hour or so from the run-time.
I'm super late to this post, but this week we're seeing it with Blake Lively and "It Ends With Us" - the one person who seems to be sharing that the movie is not some feel-good girly romcom (Justin Baldoni) has been shunned and pushed aside by the cast and in press, but the reactions from the public are so supportive of his statements and work while side-eyeing the hell out of Ms. Lively.
Somewhere in-between, I've been FASCINATED watching Jennifer Esposito's passion project and subsequent clawing-her-way through battle to get her brilliant movie "Fresh Kills" the eyes and press it deserves. Because folks with profiles like JLo, Costner, and Lively are allowed to flop through their success - while many are struggling to get half the recognition for just as much work.

It is so very unslay. 😉
