Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: I do make a difference according to the roles I choose to play.
Each situation, each encounter, each moment presents us with a choice. Which role will we play? Teacher, student, rebel, counselor, bully, introvert, rage-aholic, alcoholic, greedy, generous, peaceful, angry, etc. Changing roles can be easier than changing our clothing, since all it takes is a change of perception, of attitude, a change of mind. It does however, need a willingness to be aware of the roles we play as we go along.
The whole world's a stage -- which role will you play? You can't really stand on the sidelines and watch, because that too is a role. You're playing the uninvolved, the passive observer. Yet, if we want to make a difference in our immediate world, and on the planet in which we live, we have a responsibility to choose our roles carefully and with consciousness.
Let's make this play "Life on Earth" a joyous, light-hearted romance with Life and all its members. There may be a lot of muck to wade through and deal with at first as the other characters adjust to the new script, but, let's improvise -- we can do it. One word, one thought, one action at a time. So, what part are you going to play today?
