We each picked out our life’s script with our own hands, up in heaven.

From a vast library of scripts, we sifted and compared until we came away with the one that was ours — the one playing out right now.

Some scripts read like wish-fulfillment fantasy, some like tragedy, and some are simply ordinary.

But whichever kind we ended up with, we had good reasons for choosing it.

We’ve each lived through many lives before this one. If the last life was smooth sailing, then this one needs a little more hardship — because hardship is the faster road toward what the soul’s training is for.

There’s nothing wrong with seeing things this way, and honestly, I believe the odds are that it’s true.

Before this life began, I already knew everything that was going to happen in it. So what’s left for me is to learn to accept all of it, and to bear all of it.

All of it is experience; all of it is training.

An undying soul, an ever-changing script — and the one on stage right now is the one I chose.

Because I chose it, I’ll play it through no matter how badly the story goes. There’s no such thing as a good script or a bad one — only the attitude you bring to the role!
