What Brad Pitt can Tell us about Sacrifice

The Aztecs may have taken sacrifice to the extreme when they killed people to appease their gods. They had the right idea, wrong method. We may not be able to influence the weather. We are able to alter our entire lives. Maybe its not as dramatic as calling rain when a drought comes around. The rain would be gone eventually. The impact we can make on who we are can last a lifetime.

Its not easy. It couldn’t have been easy for Brad Pitt either. He did something most people will never do. He left college two credits shy of graduating to make it big in Hollywood. How many people have the courage to follow their dreams? Follow them into great jobs like driving strippers around in limos? Moving refrigerators? Wearing a chicken suit while working for the El Pollo Loco Restaurant chain? Brad Pitt worked in every one of those jobs as he worked his way  through auditions and bit parts. No one was there to hand him his dreams.

I’ve never interviewed Brad Pitt. I’ve never spoken to him. His actions say more than a thousand words ever will. He took a chance. Then he took another. He didn’t give up after the first few months. Sure, he started to get big roles but that took even more work. Work he threw himself into or he wouldn’t be where the man he is today. So what does that tell us?
