What’s Your Script Today?
Remember this classic gem from David Niven?
“Tonight I feel like Zsa Zsa Gabor’s fifth husband. I know what to do but how do I make it interesting?”
What’s your script for today?
“This is like making love to Joan Collins. You know it’s been done before many, many times. And much, much better.”
What hook will you use to start it off?
“I feel like the young Arab sheik who inherited his father’s harem. I know what to do but where the hell do I begin?”
Will you expound on your theme from yesterday?
“As Henry VIII said to each of his wives in turn, I shall not keep you long.”
Whatever your script is today, it certainly must express the essence of what you know and feel and trust is right.
The first step is always in the seeking of the answer to “Who Am I?” In so doing comes the dawning of a heightened consciousness.
Is there a paradox at the center of this?
Getting to this juncture has been part-and-parcel a process of self-examination. Just as, self-examination is, by its very nature, self-paralysis.
And what I’m about doing, now and in the future, is quite the opposite.
Don’t think about breathing. Just breathe. Don’t think about who do I want to be, just be.
It’s a Tao thing.
