Type: Youve probably heard the expression
lifes not a dress rehearsal. Unfortunately, many
of us unconsciously act as if it were. Like an
actor or actress just going through the motions in
order to conserve our creative energy and focus
for opening night, we hold backNone of us can
be expected to perform every minute of our lives.
But a lot of us might tap into the power,
excitement, and glory of Real Life more frequently
if we cast ourselves as the leading role in our own
lives. ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach
