Hostage negotiation with reality

“My profession is hostage negotiation with reality. Reality says “I’m gonna kill it!” and I say “no, you’re not. Listen, put down the gun, let’s talk.”
–Guillermo del Toro, Film Director (in this interview)

What a brilliant way of thinking. In filmmaking, and in life, walls pop up to block us. Resistance does its best to keep us from achieving our goals. Stress tries to steal our moments of joy. But we have the choice to approach every annoyance with a calm demeanor. To negotiate with our reality, and to rewrite our own stories. We always have this chioce.
