Legendary.
Actor.
There was something about Marlon Brando that made us feel as if he understood the human experience better than we did. It made him mysterious, it made him charismatic, it made him ultimately, iconic.
Brando said: “We couldn’t survive a second if we weren’t able to act.”
THIS IS IMPORTANT
Brando recognized in no uncertain terms that we are all actors and we act every single day of our lives to get what we want and to fulfill our objectives.
ACTING AS IF is no different.
If Brando’s perspective is accurate, then we have within us the ability to role-play and choose not only who we want to be but to act as if we already are.
When you do this, you will begin to feel differently.
You will begin to behave differently.
2 THINGS BRANDO WOULD WANT YOU TO KEEP IN MIND
- We are all actors.
- We are acting all the time.
What do you think of Brando’s perspective? Do you agree with him? Are we all actors? View Brando himself discussing this very idea below. Leave a comment!
Until next time…
