Life, Camera, Action!

So if your life was a movie, what genre would it be? I asked myself the same question and frankly, I don’t know what genre my life would fall under. I might as well make up my own genre because it is a blend of drama, action, suspense and comedy, so I guess I can call it drasacmedy (dra-sac-medy) lol!

The action piece is very minimal so as I progress in life, I would like to incorporate more action such as traveling, cruises, adventures like rock-climbing, hiking, sky diving, marathon and the list goes on.

Life: In Shakespeare’s play As You Like It, Jacques said, 

“All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players:

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts,..” 

As I reflect on my life and those around me, I feel we are in one big movie production that has no visual script(s). It is like the HBO series “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. The dialogue is largely improvised by the actors (us). The plots and subplots of our movie are established in an outline written not by Steven Spielberg but by our creator, Jehovah. He has given everyone of us the lead role in our own movie, a set and co-stars on the very onset (geographical location and family). However, as we journey through our life production we might move to a different set for different reasons such as work, school, marriage etc and we meet new people/co-stars along the way and assign them roles to play in our movie like friend, partner, mentor, shrink etc. Depending on the role they individuals play in our life, these individuals come for a season, reason, or a lifetime. Sometimes we strip them off their title and fire them from our production due to misunderstanding or betrayal. Other times, they decide to leave on their own because we no longer fit in their movie or they die. There should be no hard feelings because remember, they also have a main part in their own movie and they have the right to select their co-stars or move on to a different set. 

Camera: We are all Superstars. Our movie production involves our daily life and the main plot often revolve around our family, friendships, relationships, career, problems, expectations, joy, happiness, annoyance with other people's behavior, awkward situations etc. So fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, life does not hand you a script. Some of us have a plan on how we want our life to progress but sometimes it feels like we are totally winging it, which can be fun or frustrating. The one thing that is certain is that no one knows exactly know how our movie will end. Its all a matter of “Choice” and every choice we make or action we take has reaction. Similar to Newtons Third Law of Motion: “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”. 

Action: My choice at this time in my life is to live a healthier and happier life. To gain and share knowledge with others using my blog as a medium. I am a life-time learner and excited to share the things I learn as I move along my unscripted journey.
