Love Quote by Jenifer Lewis

"If you can find something you love, go for it everyday of your life, and it would be really good to you"

About this Quote

There is a hard-earned practicality hiding inside Jenifer Lewis's soft phrasing. "If you can find something you love" starts with a caveat, not a commandment. Love, for her, isn't guaranteed; it's discovered, sometimes late, sometimes after detours. That conditional feels like an actress and working performer talking: someone who knows that passion is real, but access, luck, and stamina are unevenly distributed.

"Go for it everyday of your life" turns inspiration into routine. The line rejects the romantic mythology of the big break or the lightning-bolt calling. Instead, Lewis frames devotion as repetition: show up, rehearse, audition, write, perform, fail, do it again. It's a blueprint for survival in an industry that rewards visibility and punishes absence. The intent isn't to sell a dream; it's to insist on a practice.

The most revealing turn is the personification: "it would be really good to you". Not "you'll be good at it", but the work will be good to you. That's emotional economics. In a culture obsessed with optimizing careers, Lewis hints at a different metric: the thing you love can feed you back - with steadiness, identity, even protection against burnout. It's not naive positivity; it's mutuality. You give your days to something, and if it's the right something, it gives your days meaning, structure, and a reason to keep going when the applause doesn't come.
