"What are the OPPORTUNITIES that I have right now, that are in my life,...because of my DISAPPOINTMENTS?" I cued it up, if you want to hear it for yourself. I thought this was such a good question from Steven Furtick. I generally try to keep a good perspective on the ups and downs of life, but this gave me just another way to frame it, so I had to share. Have a good week good people.
Chadwick Boseman passed from cancer on August 28th, 2020 at age 43. His death and his life resonated with me. Below is a clip that I found powerful and I thought I would share my thoughts.
"Throughout filming I was communicating with them knowing that they were both terminal...what they said to me, what their parents said is that they're trying to hold on 'til this movie comes. "
This was after Chadwick was diagnosed, but he was reminded of the impact of how he spent his time and life could still have in the face of uncertainty. His character King T'Challa, shouted "Yibambe" which (from what I've learned) in X'osha means "Hold the Line" or "Hold Strong" and knowing the importance of his role, I believe that's what he was trying to do.
