Treat It as your big break. Jay-Z once rapped, "one life to live, notice you get no sequel. So I truly got to live this like my last movie."

Yes, this is just the one life we will have. Yes, death is certain and can happen at any moment, Death, can come from any incident. Or from a random and unfortunate act of violence. Furthermore, all we have is now. This moment, so do it, right. Since we don't actually know if another chance will be given. Or, if we will have another take.

To continue on that theme, actors and actresses, when auditioning for roles, will often pick the one they are scared of. The one that pushes and pulls them the most. Why? Growth. Progress. Excellence. Because this movie might just be their last. How many actors/actresses died before their time? How many of our dreams or ideas died without our effort?

Pick the role that most scares you. Pick the role that most challenges you - who you are and who you want to become.
