roles
January 28, 2023•132 words
Note to self: accept your roles in the greater drama of life, no matter how they've played out. Good in this scene, bad in this one. Saint to this person, sinner to that one. Worthy on this day, unworthy on that one. Accept it all, and embrace the lessons you're learning and teaching along the way - even the painful ones. Shape events where you can but accept completely what has already played out, without personalizing or crafting fixed identities based on them. Change is everpresent, and roles are as transient as anything else. What plays out in one moment doesn't need to become a permanent character trait, so avoid typecasting yourself or others as this or that. Just be present with each new scene, both as willing participant and attentive audience.
