Opportunities Quotes
-
If you've as many films as I have, and missed as many opportunities as I have to do good work and been pissed off about it, you say, "Well, now you've got to start getting it right." If you get a chance, you really want to cook. And the tragedy is, when you finally feel that way about yourself, about your work, nobody wants to give you a chance. And that happens to a lot of actors. But I'm feeling very wanted these days, so there must be something in the air.

This nation was founded on the principle of wealth creation. As
a young Henry Clay said in the House of Representatives in 1812,
“It wealth creation is a passion as unconquerable as any with which
nature has endowed us. You may attempt to regulate—you cannot
destroy it.” That is supposed to be the federal government’s primary objective.
It is supposed to promote the creation of an environment conducive
to the creation of wealth—not job creation, not bailouts, not subsidies,
not expansion of the federal bureaucracy, and not providing lifetime
support to those who choose not to take advantage of the innumerable
opportunities that exist in this nation for them to create a better,
more productive life for themselves.

And it’s why I repeatedly recommend him for speaking and media opportunities. He’s good!

When we start understanding that all challenges are really opportunities to learn and grow and become all that we are becoming, which is all being guided by nature and her desire to maintain perfect balance, then what could be wrong? If there is nothing wrong, then the burden of humanity has been lifted from my shoulder and I'm free to be me - to play, to cry, to laugh, to work, to explore, to serve, to unfold and grow.
Bryan Kest
