Play It With All Your Heart

“Remember that you are an actor in a play, and that the Playwright chooses the manner of it: If he wants the play to be short, it is short; if long, it is long. If he wants you to act a poor man, a cripple, a public official, or a private person, see that you act it with skill. For it is your job to act well the part that is assigned to you; but to choose it is another’s.” -Epictetus

You may not get to choose the role.

But you do get to choose how you play it.

Play it with all your heart.

P.S. – This metaphor isn’t just about acting, but it applies to all of life.

P.P.S. – The Vs. Studio core mission and a major point of focus for this blog, is to help artists find and manifest their passion project. And to do so with excellence and generosity. The beauty of committing to this is that when you do, you actually do get to choose your dream role.
