Actors on a Stage
“Do not take life’s experiences too seriously. Above all, do not let them hurt you, for in reality they are nothing but dream experiences… If circumstances are bad and you have to bear them, do not make them a part of yourself. Play your part in life, but never forget that it is only a role.â€
Paramahansa Yogananda
 Paramahansa Yogananda is one of my all time favorite teachers in life. He truly has taught me to live life as if I am acting on a stage. For this, I hold great gratitude to him. Each day, life can feel very serious as though this moment and today are all that really matter. But like most experiences in life, if you look back on a day that seemed to be your all time worst, today in retrospect it may feel far less significant. Another thought that crosses my mind frequently is how important it is for me to step out of my life and to look at things from an aerial view, from a bigger picture. Most times, the things that seem so important on the ground hold very little importance when I look at their overall relevance.
 So the lesson for me is to take things easy, to take things as they come. I am committed to learning, to go with the flow and to allow my life to unfold as though I were an actor on the stage.
