Find Your Role And Play It

“Epictetus says to think of ourselves as actors in a play. We can’t choose our roles, and they can be switched at any time without warning.” -novel, Go Gentle by Maria Semple

“The problem is that the vast majority of us think that we are the directors, writers, and above all, stars of our own ‘ego-dramas’… Of course, our dramas are always uninteresting, even if we are playing the lead role. The key is to find the role that God has designed for us” -Bishop Robert Barron

“There are no small parts, only small actors.” -Konstantin Stanislavski

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players -Shakespeare, As You Like It

Once you figure out your role in the play that the universe has in mind for you, no matter how big or small you perceive it to be, go play it with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.

It’s not about you. It’s about the play.

Your whole life will change once you fully accept and live this out.
