Daily Reflections

Life is like a play and just like actors in a play, we have a role. When we are acting, we should not forget our role, which can change. At times we play the role of a son or a daughter, that of a husband or a wife, finally we become father or mother. Sometimes, all these role are played simultaneously. Nothing is permanent. In the drama of life, we must play all our interchanging roles satisfactorily. If we play our role well, we will be happy and bring happiness to others. But if we allow distracting thoughts to come, we will forget the dialogue and the interaction appropriate to a particular situation. So, to be a good actor, we should try to concentrate on the play itself, and focus all our attention on playing our role well. To live a complete, wholly integrated life, we must be fully present in any given situation and act accordingly.
