Leading Lady?

I love the movie The Holiday.

There is some immorality that I don't approve of but I like the idea that you can get away from your comfort zone and make a change in your life.

For Kate Winslet's character, she is escaping her ex-boyfriend who she is still in love with and to whom she is stuck as the best friend. She meets an old Hollywood screen writer and begins a journey of self-discovery. The screenwriter explains to her that in movies there are best friends and leading ladies.

She begins to ask herself is she the leading lady in her own life.

 I think this is a question that I need to ask myself.

Do I star in my own life and not just be the side-kick?

I'm not talking about being selfish,but being the person in my life who takes action.

I find that often my life events are because of other people.

 Other people's feelings for me, other people's wants, and other people sins.

I even have trouble deciding where to go out to eat and often just go with the flow.

So how do I balance not being selfish with starring in my own life?

 How do I take more risks?

 How do I be a responder and not always the giver?

Do I even let myself be captivated by God's love?

I think I need to take a risk and be the leading lady, in my life, in some man's life and even to God.

 I am His and He is mine.
