The Movie Of Your Life
I have had a fabulous week. I really can’t complain at all. Yes it has been challenging at times and yes i would have liked to get a few more hours sleep than i got, but overall i learnt so much this week. And made it a truly great week. When you come out of the week with a lesson you didn’t have at the beginning of the week, you know its good.
It got me thinking about my life and the life of women in general. Now that can be something that could instantly give you a headache, but I love thinking of those sorts of things. I got to thinking about our lives and how we as mothers, usually end up putting our dreams on hold to fulfill or support our children, partners, parents, friends, sisters, brothers and everyone else instead of ourselves.
We really end up playing a supporting role in the movie of our life instead of in the lead role. Now that sucks. I have been told i am a drama queen and i have no problems with that title, but to think that I don’t get to take center stage in my own performance, it started to annoy me.
So this week, take stock of the role you play in the movie of your life. Are you in the lead? Do you have a cameo and only come in from scene to scene? Or is someone else telling you when you can lead and when you can’t?
You get one chance at this drama, don’t waste it standing behind someone else who is hijacking your production. Before you know it, it will be a final curtain call and then lights out. Have that moment come with no regrets at all.
