When career success comes, you are not sure you want it anymore or its not as satisfying as when you were making the climb. You feel like you are meant for more but totally unsure of what that even is and yes, that questioning of, maybe I am meant for an ordinary life now OR maybe that second big wave is a long time from now. I was soooooo here.
Monique, “What you’re witnessing today is a man living his dream” is the line that gives Keith David’s moment its deeper weight here. You turn his Walk of Fame recognition into more than a Hollywood milestone; it becomes a testimony about delayed honor, Black excellence, endurance, and the danger of mistaking waiting for absence. The most meaningful turn is your own, moving from wondering whether you peaked to recognizing that the blessing is not only ahead of you, but already present beneath your feet. Grateful for the honesty, faith, and renewed courage in this reflection.
