Playing My Part

"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, Academy Award-winning actor, writer, and activist

This is a wonderful viewpoint. I'm having the time of my life playing my part. I know that I am just one of many in this play, but I'm enjoying every minute of it. It's a blessing to be able to participate in this life; it's an extraordinary gift.

I'm having so much fun playing my part but I don't think I've written this play for myself. There seems to be a Spirit within me that is guiding me along each step of the way. I've come to realize that I have the opportunity to create my life in partnership with God. I've heard it referred to as "co-creating" with the God of my understanding. This concept works for me. I've come to fully rely upon my Higher Power - to carry me through challenges, to bless me with friends, to assist me in achieving my dreams. It's a magnificent arrangement and I don't ever want it to change.

So, if I don't want it to change, there are some things I need to do. I will continue to enjoy playing my part in the play of life and I will continue to rely upon God to be my Director. I'm sure to get the highest awards if I follow this plan. I can't lose with my Higher Power showing me the way.
