Adapted from The Thought Exchange, by David Friedman (pp. 358-62)

Life is like a play:\\xa0 when I am in it, I can\\u2019t step out of it.

All the drama of my life is \\u201cpart of the story,\\u201d and the difficult parts, even when I feel stuck or betrayed,\\xa0 are there to lead up to the triumph.

Through all the drama, like Joseph, no matter what others do for me or to me, I remember that I am in this part to learn and grow.

I ask myself, \\u201cWhat play am I in?\\u201d\\xa0 I decide that I am not appearing in a tragedy.\\xa0 I am starring in the play where I succeed and where God shows up!

Whatever happens in my \\u201cplay\\u201d turns out to be the perfect circumstance to bring forth the highest outcome for all concerned.\\xa0\\xa0 In Big Drama, even trouble is a gift!
