"I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part" 

Shirley MacLaine

I couldn't agree more, Shirley.... This is exactly the way to look at life. You are merely an actor, playing your part. Each one of us has scripted our lives before we arrived on this planet and we are all merely role-playing. You are in charge of your own life, your own results... you can manipulate your life in whatever manner you choose. That being said; you are given a life and it is up to you to make it good or bad, easy or hard. 

We encounter obstacles on our path to receive the growth lessons we requested. How we handle these obstacles, accepting or fighting tooth and nail, determines how easy our life will be. All of this is to help us to understand, to open us up to receive and to pave the way on our path. Everything is important, nothing happens by chance. Your life can be a wonderful play or a tragedy, it's always up to you and you can change it anytime you like.

"We are not victims of the world, we are victims of the way we see the world"Shirley MacLaine

Just do the best you can with what you have been given. Relish your life, love those around you, be kind to your fellow beings, the animals, and the earth, and enjoy your time on the stage.

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players"  William Shakespeare
