let go

We must let go of the life we have planned,
so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

the first time

 Nobody gets it all right the first time.
If they do they're missing the point.
And lying.

everyone can act

Everyone can act. Everyone can improvise.
Anyone who wishes to can play in the theater and learn to become "stageworthy."
We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything.
This is as true for the infant moving from kicking and crawling to walking
as it is for the scientist with his equations.
If the environment permits it,
anyone can learn whatever he chooses to learn;
and if the individual permits it, the environment will teach him everything it has to teach.
"Talent" or "lack of talent" has little to do with it.
--Viola Spolin

here and there

your treasure

It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life.
Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.
--Joseph Campbell

follow your bliss

Follow your bliss.
If you do follow your bliss,
you put yourself on a kind of track
that has been there all the while waiting for you,
and the life you ought to be living
is the one you are living.
When you can see that,
you begin to meet people
who are in the field of your bliss,
and they open the doors to you.
I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid,
and doors will open
where you didn't know they were going to be.
If you follow your bliss,
doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.
-- Joseph Campbell

decisions for others

 Don't make decisions for others,
especially when you haven't even
given them
the benefit of the doubt
by posing the question.

But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
