“You cut the turkey… without me?”

One of the most heartbreaking lines in movie history—and a warning we failed to heed.

In Avalon, Barry Levinson shows us what happens when families stop gathering, stop telling stories, and stop remembering where they came from. It’s not just nostalgia. It’s identity. And without it, we raise strangers in our own homes.

This isn’t just about a movie. It’s about America.

What’s the thing you’ve been trying to do for a while… and starting to believe maybe it can’t be done?
Build a business? Start your YouTube channel? Fix something in your life that isn't working?

I’ve been there.
Most people have.

And that moment—when you start to believe it’s impossible—is where everything gets decided.

There’s a line in David Mamet's The Edge that I think demonstrates the proper mindset when confronting any challenge in your life:

“What one man can do, another man can do.”

Anthony Hopkins doesn’t just say it. He makes Alec Baldwin repeat it until it sticks.

That’s not a motivational quote. That’s mental training.

I wrote a piece on this—how belief, repetition, and willpower turn the impossible into possible.
It’s not about hype. It’s about building the kind of mindset that doesn’t back down.
