The audience gives a standing ovation, thunderous applause is heard echoing throughout the vast hall as the actor on stage makes his way back stage. He wipes the sweat from his brow and becomes himself again and not the character he was on stage. "How did I do?" he asks the director of the play.



The director smiles, pats him on the shoulder and says, "Don't worry about it. Good or bad, get ready for the next scene."


Moral of the story:
While it is good to assess our performance in everything we do, we should also remember not to be too attached to the past. The past is over and done with! What we have to do is to look forward. Harness your strength and concentrate your attention to create a better future, regardless of how dark your past may be. Your future lies in the present moment. The past shapes your present, but your present shapes your future. Live in the NOW!
