Today this excerpt from MacBeth (William Shakespeare) will not leave my head:
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
It reminds me that we have a choice. We can go through life, day by day, existing, not contributing, just surviving. Until, finally, our time is up.
Exit stage right.
So many people are doing this around us.
The WALKING DEAD.
Letting life HAPPEN TO THEM.
Not INTENTIONALLY CREATING IT.
The real SECRET to THE SECRET
Is that we can change anything about our lives.
But it does take:
Decision Making
Focus
Passion
Perseverance
Faith
and, yes ACTION.
Do what feels right. But not to the detriment of others.
Live your life.
Pursue your passion.
Open your heart.
Let nothing stop your contribution.
We all want to see your time on the stage. We want you to WOW us, entertain us, make us laugh, let us cry in your pain. SHARE YOU with us.
Don't hide.
Get up there on life's stage and STRUT!
More than an hour, a lifetime.
And we will hear MORE from you.
And you will signify SOMETHING.
The authentic you.
The curtain is about to open.
It's time for you to take stage.
We're waiting.
And we want you to succeed.
