script of life

do you ever feel that in the theatrical production we call life you
got cast as the wrong character? that you have performed the script as
it's written but it isn't written for you. i think those feelings are
ordinary - and i think most people go off script and try and play
another character that they think fits them best - a character that
has the qualities and characteristics of someone they want to be - and
to me that behavior is ordinary

to me what is extraordinary is the person that sticks to the script -
that takes they character they were cast as and embraces it and makes
it their own - i don't think we see that too often anymore.

it's so easy to be the "understudy" for another character - to sit
there waiting for someone else to falter in their role and try and
take their place.

this theatrical production of life is a complex story written with
multiple layers and lots of dramatic twists and turns but i challenge
you to stay on task and keep in character as you were cast - we aren't
the producers of this production and it takes a while for us to
finally gain the skill and knowledge to become directors of it - but
take the script as it is written and step forward onto the stage and
shine as you were intended to be - not another character.

give the script a chance to play out - sometimes the plot gets a
little bogged down but in the end - if you carry on as who you should
be - i believe the reward at the climax of the script will be a
wonderous one.
