Kevin Costner Shares Life-Changing Advice: “What’s So Hard?”

During a recent charity event, Oscar-winning actor and Yellowstone star Kevin Costner gave fans a powerful life lesson. Performing with his band, Modern West, Costner entertained the audience while sharing insights from his years in acting, work, and relationships.

Speaking at his residence in Carpinteria, California, he reminded fans not to overlook the small but meaningful gestures in life. “The person to our right—the one who gets us through everything, your partner, your spouse, your whatever—sometimes we see everything but forget to say that one thing: You’re important,” he said.

Costner encouraged everyone to express appreciation: “What’s so hard about going, ‘You’re important, you’ve been important for a long time’? Sometimes you just have to search, and that’s what this song is about.”

The charity event also featured performances by Pink, Kenny Loggins, Richard Marx, and more, making it a night full of music and heartfelt messages.
