Common is just awesome. His music, videos, books, and movies have never failed at giving me a heaping dose of inspiration right when I need it most.

 

I had the pleasure of attending a lecture that Common held in my town last year – you can check out the inspiring words of wisdom that he shared >>Here<<

The Chicago-based rapper is currently starring in an independent film entitled ‘LUV’ (which I really wanted to review for Movie Inspirations however it is not currently showing in my town 🙁 ) where he plays an ex-convict who is torn between different life choices.

As promotion for the move, Common has recently released a video in which he speaks a little more on his role in the film, what motivates him as an actor, and where he sees himself going in his career.

Albeit brief, this clip from Common can evoke self-reflection in terms of one’s craft, life direction, purpose, and passion. It certainly did it for me.

.

I hope that it inspires you! 🙂
