Love this Ryan Gosling riff in the new HBO film, Seduced and Abandoned, in describing how he got into acting.
“But that’s the best part about Los Angeles. It’s filled with all these Don Quixote type characters. Everyone’s left their families, their homes, their friends, their jobs, to pursue a dream. Where they know that the percentage of them achieving that dream is Never. And they do it anyway. And everyone has shared the same dream. And no one is sure if it is a premonition or a delusion. And there’s only one way to find out.”
Bio
I have been creating, innovating and marketing new forms of media for thirty years. My projects have ranged from senior executive roles in the United States and Australia and the founding of Silicon Valley-based digital media companies to international consulting assignments and globetrotting book projects.
I currently reside on the Thai island of Koh Phangan. I write books by the sea, conduct writing and visioning workshops, and help individuals and groups tell their stories. For information on personal and organizational coaching, visit The Vision Project.
