ACT One TAKE One.. ROLL IT!

There are no dress rehearsals in life.  Once we are born it is "ACTION" and it does not stop "rolling" until we do.  

There are no re-takes, no body doubles, no voice-overs, no editing, re-winding or fast forwarding (or PVRing -is that a verb?).  Nobody hands us a script to rehearse, nobody writes our lines. We have to do our own hair and make-up and supply our own wardrobe.  We are in charge of our own choreography and set design.  There is plenty of ad-libbing, improvisation and probably a lot going on behind the scenes. There are bloopers and things we wish were "deleted scenes". This is it. Our life. Our film.  Drama, action, romance, comedy and documentary all rolled into one.  

We are the stars but it is unlikely we will win an a award or walk down the red carpet.  

But look on the plus side.. you likely won't see the most unflattering picture of yourself spread across the tabloids either.
