Shakespeare Was Half Right

William Shakespeare wrote in his comedy AS YOU LIKE IT that “All the world is a stage.” I believe he left out the next phrase: “Until your act gets old.”

If you don’t know your act is getting old, you’ll continue to play a bit part in life. Discovering that you aren’t who you think you are is self-discovery. No acting is necessary when you reach that point.

Do you adopt different personalities for different groups of people? If so, you’re acting, badly.

I believe there’s a stage in life when it’s time to get off stage. The result of this action is feeling entirely comfortable in your own skin.

Acting is pretending and pretending isn’t real. If you’re pretending to be someone you’re not, outside of TV, movies, or stage work, no one is taking you seriously.

Getting off stage means giving up the things you’ve added to your persona that amount to glitter. The process of subtracting these things leads to the discovery of gold: your natural, unvarnished self.

The authentic you is discovered when the makeup comes off, the flood lights go out, and the stage is empty.

Break a leg!

All the best,

John
