We are all casted in a big motion picture. A motion picture called ‘Life.’ The script started the year we were born and is in ongoing development. The main characters, extras, producer, screen writer, stunt men/women, wardrobe/makeup and location all keep changing. WHY? Because life keeps changing.
Nothing is the same as it began. The books we read, the people we meet, the personal and professional paths we take and the dreams we dreamt all change as our situation change. Now don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with change, if the change is good. Too much time is invested in keeping things the same or making it like it used to be rather than embracing your new circumstance.
As I entered a new scene in my script someone told me that it has come to a point that I needed to decide if I was going to continue to be an extra in someone else’s movie or was I ready to become the director. The star of the show! I didn’t quite understand what they meant by that statement until the economy began to take a downward spiral and many Americans were losing their jobs. Many lost more than a job. They lost a career. They worked so hard as an ‘extra’ that when the director began to edit the movie, their scene got CUT! Now they are scrambling for auditions as an extra in another person’s movie.
See being an extra is not fun when you find out all the work you put into that scene and it never made it to the big screen. That is the story line of so many of us today and it is not going to get any better. We all have come to a crossroad and have a decision that we must make: Will I continue to be an extra in someone else’s movie or become the director/star of my own?
