The two different ways to experience this world! The first, like you are the main character in a wonderfully delightful suspenseful book! Where all around you are scenes of intrigue, stories untold, places you are excited to explore, people with curious features and doing odd things in odd places just begging you to ask “Why?”
And in this book you get to be the Main Character, the person of focus, the one who moves the book in any direction, you are the bus driver and the only boundaries are the fear of the answer! If you have an open mind and a thirst to understand, your passport is good to enter into any situation!
You get to decide which ‘supporting or minor’ characters you bring along.
Do they add to your story, do they make you better, hold you back, kick you into un-chartered waters? If for some reason, they are stuck to you, how do you deal? With humor or hate, do they control you or do you proceed and allow them to tag along! Are you willing to allow a parade of people to maybe see you as an odd person doing an odd thing….could it be perhaps you are adding color to their stories, maybe you are there for them to ask “why?”
As your story or life moves ahead, you also get to decide what will the main characters personality be, what traits is she wanting and how does she go about getting them. What are her strong suits and how can she turn her weakness into colorful life lessons.
Oh, and you can be the Dreamer while living in the Dream…Where is it you want to go, do and be, you pick! But you sometimes are walking into Nightmares, but even then, you can become a villain or a saint, you can let the moment define you or not! This is your book, you decide. You are the Author of you life!
Yesterday I had the opportunity to witness a woman who lived just like this!
She was bright, full of wonderful energy, open and eager, she looked at you and you could see the wheels churning….what is her story, boy I surely would love to know. And all the while oblivious of herself in the present moment, she was not just thinking about life, but being Life.
I said there were two ways….well the other way is to be a character in someone else book
Never knowing what it is like to be the Main Character.
I love that I am allowed to be in my story and that there is a real good chance it won’t match yours, but that is the beauty of having separate bodies and our very own minds. I truly get to do my own book, and I can be as imperfect as I want, doing way imperfectly perfect things.
Maybe I am doing things just to make my life more colorful, maybe I am learning as I go, maybe the mistakes I make are really opportunities in disguise, maybe it is a chapter I want in my book! I love the freedom to be me, being the main character in my book, the book called My Life.
