I'm very thankful I'm finding my way, and people are excited to

Hear, O seeker of wisdom, the words of Nicholas D’Agosto, who declared with humility and rising confidence: “I'm very thankful I'm finding my way, and people are excited to bring me into roles that demand a certain complexity.” This is not the boast of one who has already conquered, but the grateful confession of one who walks steadily along the path of discovery. It is the cry of an artist who sees his journey not as a race toward fame alone, but as a slow unfolding of self, guided by gratitude, opportunity, and trust.

The origin of this utterance lies in the career of D’Agosto, who, like many artists, began with smaller roles and the uncertainty of direction. For the road of acting is not a straight path, but a labyrinth of choices, auditions, and fleeting opportunities. In such a world, many lose themselves, chasing only recognition. Yet D’Agosto speaks of finding his way, of discovering not merely roles, but a deeper understanding of who he is and what he wishes to bring to the art of storytelling. Gratitude shines at the core of his words, for he sees that this journey is not endured alone—others, seeing his growth, entrust him with characters of greater depth.

This truth echoes through the ages. Consider the tale of Michelangelo, who, though first seen as a sculptor of minor commissions, was eventually entrusted with works of staggering complexity, such as the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. He did not demand such tasks; rather, his dedication, skill, and spirit caused others to see his potential. Like Michelangelo, D’Agosto recognizes that true honor lies not in easy work, but in the complex roles that test the soul and refine the spirit.

Notice too the humility in his words: “I’m very thankful.” He does not proclaim entitlement to such opportunities, but expresses reverence for them. In the humility of gratitude lies the strength to endure both triumph and trial. For the artist who sees each role as a gift will never grow weary of his craft, while the one who demands without thankfulness becomes bitter when fortune shifts. D’Agosto’s gratitude keeps his heart steady, his purpose pure, and his spirit willing to continue the long labor of growth.

The lesson here is profound: life’s journey is not a sudden arrival at greatness, but a gradual finding of one’s way. At each step, others may see potential in you before you see it yourself, and they will offer you roles—tasks, responsibilities, opportunities—that demand more than what you have given before. If you meet these with humility, courage, and diligence, you will not only succeed but also be transformed into someone greater than you imagined.

Therefore, O listener, take these words as your guide. When life grants you opportunities of complexity, do not shrink back in fear, nor grumble at their weight. Embrace them, and be thankful for those who trust you with such responsibility. Work with all diligence, for each challenge is a shaping fire, preparing you for higher purposes still unseen. And as you walk forward, never forget to give thanks—for gratitude is the compass that keeps the soul from losing its way amidst ambition.

So let the words of Nicholas D’Agosto endure: “I’m very thankful I’m finding my way.” In them is the timeless truth that the path of life is not always clear, yet gratitude, humility, and courage will guide us through the unknown. Carry this lesson, and when your own complex roles arise—whether in art, in labor, or in life—you will meet them not with dread but with thanksgiving, and in doing so, you will find your way.
