KEY TAKEAWAYS
The true comedians are the ones who are constantly taking a comedic perspective upon life, and looking for the respectful opportunities to deliver their take on life and its many challenges. The Coronavirus pandemic has proved that if we need to, we can make radical, positive changes to the way our society works, both in financial and behavioural ways. Everything in nature is founded upon a deep intelligence, and we are all part of it. We are travellers upon this intelligence and conscious being. We should never seek to abandon our pasts, but we must never become a slave to them. The past is a tool. We can always learn from our history, but we must try not to endlessly suffer from it. Artists should never let their ego impede the creativity that flows through them from time to time. When this flow happens, it’s a gift.BEST MOMENTS
