Forrest Tucker: If I ever wonder what I'm doing or where I'm going, I just think to myself: "Is that little kid I was when I was just about this tall," I say, "well now, would he have been proud of me?" And if the answer is "no", well then I just keep walking on through. But if the answer is "yes", then I know I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
Jewel: So is he proud of you? That little boy?
Forrest Tucker: Oh, he's getting closer every day.

So, I think you gotta keep on keeping on, just living your life, trying new things, just gotta keep on pushing
