Notes to myself
People don’t need authenticity from me. They need the story of me to be true.
Choose a role you can inhabit. One people would miss if you stopped playing it, and one that takes you where you want to go.
In ordinary moments, ask: If I were playing the role well, what would I do here?
The role might feel like acting at first.
Doing it again makes it natural.
The place you live, the people around you, and the rhythm of your days make some roles easier to play than others.
If the role you chose is hard to inhabit, change the conditions around it. Hard, but worth it.
The story people believe about you and the story you believe about yourself is written by what you do
again
and again.
