If we were to view our life as a stage play with ourselves as the script writer, stage director, and the producer of our play entitled This Is Your Life, we can see how our life was created. We are lead actor/actress in the play, along with being the script writer, so we can create any form of play we choose for our life to follow.
This concept was presented to us in a seminar in 1978 by Paul Solomon. I felt it was a really great way to show us that we create our life and can change any time we want, to take control of our life and reclaim our personal power. Of the 200 people at the seminar, all but two were from basically from dysfunctional families. Only two people had parents who were loving and supportive in their formative years.
Most of the people at the seminar were in their thirties and forties. Many had young children and recognized they were passing on the same patterns they had inherited from their parents. This type of invaluable training in the 1970s has helped turned the tide, so that children today have a better chance than their parents at becoming successful individuals, i.e., the generational chain has been broken.
When we were children, we let our parents set up and write our scripts for us and played out their script in our play. In fact, many times we still play out their life, not ours, as we are copy of them. When are we going to take control of our life and rewrite the script? We cannot change the past, but we could accept, love and forgive our parents for doing what they did, and then rewrite a new, successful script for our life today.
Paul Solomon showed us how to set up the process and begin to change our life immediately. This seminar created such a ground swell in changing all of the attendees’ lives that many became seminar junkies and attended every lecture or seminar that Paul’s group presented. Many people had the same reaction I had, and we ‘regulars’ continued to meet each at future seminars
