Build An Actor

We are all going to die one day 

So in the meantime

Build towards something worthwhile

Build an actor 

An actor who is honest

An actor who is clear

An actor who takes action

An actor who follows their curiosity 

An actor who contributes meaningful work to the world 

An actor who focuses on what they can control, and lets go of what they can’t 

An actor who takes care of their inner child

An actor who is brave enough to be vulnerable

An actor who knows it might hurt, but who still tries anyway 

An actor who practices self care

An actor who is able to find comfort in the chaos

An actor who manages their energy sustainably 

An actor who listens to their body

An actor who greets their colleagues and asks them how they are

An actor who knows when to switch on, and when to switch off 

An actor who is generous enough to know when it’s time to be selfish 

An actor who takes care of their health and wealth

An actor who takes care of both the younger and older versions of themselves

An actor who gives themselves permission to feel what they’re feeling 

An actor who trusts themselves, even when they have no idea what’s going on 

An actor who says “yes, please” & “no, thank you”

An actor who knows how to wait well

An actor who knows how to rest well

An actor who takes responsibility for their professional relationships

An actor who has the difficult conversations 

An actor who knows when to ask for help, and then does so

An actor who knows when to offer help, and then does so 

An actor who is kind when they fall over

An actor who gives themselves permission to give up once in a while 

An actor who knows when it’s time to get back on the horse, and then does so 

An actor who makes intelligent, adaptive progress

An actor who makes sacrifices 

An actor who falls asleep feeling proud and grateful 

An actor who helps others breathe easier

This is worth building
