Experience does not come without pain, open up to it without fear.
If the experience is not turned into text, it does not even become the past.
No one hits the bull's eye with the first arrow.
People need to feel heard; they need their erperiences to be seen and heard.
You need to hear everybody's stories to understand what would be helpfiul to make lives better. The whole point of film and culture is to try to walk in other people's shoes, to understand our similarities and our differences.
Losses aren’t fun, they always sting for a while, but that’s the beast of this business. You can’t win them all, and it’s important to understand that losing is just as much a part of sports (and life) as winning. Don’t ever forget God will always put you where you’re meant to be at that exact moment. You can’t dwell on what you should have done better, but you can learn and improve from it and come back more prepared next time.
What is important is less the reason for the experience than the experience itself.
