Scripting Life: Knowing thyself, Regrets & Pedro Pascal
|
Each Newsletter will include: 3 Ideas & 1 Person who has scripted a purposeful life. Knowing others is intelligence;
knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. - Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
... Regret is also connected to our self-concept, or the difference between our ideal self and actual self. Are you causing yourself unnecessary anxiety and stress by thinking about all the things your ideal self should have or would have done?
My co-worker gives me a headache. Learning how to deal with unexpressed emotions can help you diffuse them instead of leaving them cooped up within you. Do you often feel heavy after a long day at work but better after a warm shower or after talking it out with your partner? Find ways that work for you so that they don't result in psychosomatic reactions such as headaches, lower back aches etc.
When people reminisce, they often only play their life's greatest hits - achievements, promotions, conquered challenges etc. So when I read this Rolling Stones article about Chris Martin from Coldplay, I was filled with admiration for how comfortable he was in disclosing his less than desirable traits in growing with his band.
Pedro Pascal -> The Actor who kept going and glowing Narcos, Game of Thrones, The Last of Us are some of the hit television shows you may have seen Pedro Pascal in. It may seem as though he has always been in a demand as an actor, but his "A-List" career really only started happening when he turned 40. Pedro's success factors boil down to perseverance, a true dedication to his craft and a deep interest in the world he has chosen to immerse himself in. Can you imagine living off another actor's paltry theatre salary for food and barely enough money to pay rent? Being dropped by your agent who brings you jobs? How does one keep the faith to keep going for auditions? Just when he was about to give up, the same friend who gave him money for food, recommended him for a role in the HBO hit show, Games of Thrones. His audition tape blew the creators away and the character, Oberon Martell was brought to live! (Spoiler Alert: before having his eyes gouged out) THIS WEEK'S SCRIPT NOTES
