Life is a theater...

I have been catching up on One-to-One coaching sessions with my reps. It has been a pretty slow day and I decided to scan through Envision (our Quality monitoring system) and randomly choosing calls to be evaluated for the coaching session. Just recently, 3 additional reps joined my team.. Joel, Alex and Fhlexy. I have touched base with the first two reps and scheduled my OTO with Fhlexy today. I chose the call tagged as April 09 Call 2, when I opened the recording...the screen capture showed an email from a former colleague who left the company a few months back. I know its unethical to read other people's stuff but I continued reading on. I thought I'd share this with whoever reads my posts c',)

here it goes...

"Life is a theater, invite your audience carefully"

Not everyone is spiritually healthy and mature enough to have a front row seat in our lives.

There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships.

Observe the relationships around you.

Pay attention to:
Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are growing downhill?
When you leave certain people, do you feel better or worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't they really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?

When you seek growth, peace of mind, love and truth, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should move to the balcony of your life.

You cannot change the people around you but you can change the people you are around.
Ask God for godly wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the people who sit in the front row of your life.

This article made a lot of sense. It spoke to me in a way that I instantaneously found myself assessing my own theater. I do have a lot of audience I could say.. but few really gets front row seats.. Reassessing the scenario I had to swap people around to where their rightful place is.

I guess this goes hand in hand with the decision on choosing the people to trust. We often stick with people who turn out to be false friends and let go of well meaning strangers along our life's journey. At the end of the day, we are the master of the show. We call the shots. A decision made right or wrong affects the quality of the movie.. our life.

I am aiming for a blockbuster hit.. are you?
