What are you in your life?

If you think of your life as a continuously unfolding film, do you ever ask yourself this question: "Am I a screenwriter, director and lead actor in my life film?" Maybe now you will answer at first that you are, but if you think about it and look deeper into yourself, you can find out that is not exactly true. Well, there are situations where you have been, but there is probably more of those when you have not been. When someone else wrote the script, your parents, school, bosses... Some were totally foreign to you and so contrary to what you wanted deep down, and you did not have the strength and courage to change that. You agreed to these scenarios against yourself and everything that you really did and went on. So every time you said yes and thought no, you lost your authenticity and your freedom piece by piece.

You realize that back then you were just a lead actor in your life, and sometimes better, sometimes worse. An actor who plays a certain role that does not really know the way around. So through life starting from childhood, growing up, schooling, career, family relationships you played various roles, put on masks that hid you as you are in your essence.

The good thing about all this is that when you come to it and admit it to yourself without transferring or blaming it for what happened, you can start changing it. Become a screenwriter, director and lead actor in your life and that will set you free. The other thing that some may not like is that when you do it yourself then you take full responsibility for everything that happens in your life. Then you can no longer blame others: parents, school, the boss, etc. for what is happening to you that you do not like. Think about it if you have the courage to take this step, maybe taking responsibility is not too high price to pay for winning freedom.

But another good thing is that by taking this step you stop being a victim of external circumstances, other people, events. This role of victim has taken away your real power and ability to change what does not suit you. By rejecting the role of the victim and taking responsibility for yourself and your life, you return that power to yourself and thus gradually begin to express your authenticity.
