Keep Striving to Create

If you haven’t heard, Sir Anthony Hopkins’ (the actor) composition, “and the waltz goes on,“ go here and take a listen. Why? Because it shows us something special. This man, this actor who has reached every height of his career, still wants something else. I believe he started out as a Music person and then became an actor. Still, it looks like he never left Music behind. He creates. It’s what he does whether on stage, film, or with melody. 

And you know what? I think we all have it in us. We all have that spark. We all can contribute something to the world to help others see it differently or to bring beauty or to express ourselves in a way that resonates with others. This waltz is a shining example of that. And it reminds me that we must always stretch ourselves. Even if we are at the pinnacle of our field, we have to strive for something more, something bigger, something greater than ourselves.
