Have you ever compared your life to a movie, for which you are writer and director?
Who are your co-stars?
Who’s in a cameo role?
And which actors should be fired?
Appreciate Oscar-worthy co-stars. I’ve learned invaluable lessons from Jessica, Sally, Pamela, and Kellen. For example, avoid interrupting a story with your own anecdotes. Don’t judge. Balance your desire to protect one from pain with the knowledge that life is pain. We’ve made some great movies together.
Some actors in cameo roles deserve Oscars. Betty is cast in that role. Wicked sense of humor, a great listener, full of wisdom, and, most importantly, boldly herself. She inspires me to be a more generous, compassionate person.
In lieu of an Oscar, learn how to give good hugs…a hard lesson for some of us.
