“You have to accomplish what you propose,” taught Danai Gurira’s professor at N.Y.U. Tisch School of the Arts.
In an interview, Gurira brought up this maxim as a reason why she was returning for a new season of the Walking Dead. Her point was her character had proposed a journey and she felt – as she had this opportunity – Gurira should “accomplish” it.
Art historians bring up that a difference between Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci was Michelangelo accomplished what he proposed while da Vinci rarely completed paintings or projects. In fact, there are only 20 known da Vinci paintings in existence, and two aren’t finished.
Is there an idea, project, or dream you might have proposed in your mind or to someone else? How might you accomplish it? How might you become a Michelangelo?
