Supporting Characters

We tend to think of ourselves as the main character in a movie, where the world revolves around us. Think and have an opinion of everything that we do (hence we are afraid of 'what will people think/say') while the fact is they don't think about you more than that few seconds they meet you. They don't think about you all the time, well unless they are in love with you because you are the other main lead character in their life by then.
We think the world can't function without us. ' BREAKING NEWS' it can and it will. We need to stop thinking we are the main character all the time. Try changing roles. Try playing the supporting characters. The one who might have to work harder than the lead role to get notice, the one who makes the movie more vibrant, the one who gives different dimensions to a story. A role no one else except women in olden days can play out so well.  A character of almost pure selflessness.

Being a supporting character is not easy yet necessary for the film to work out. People can easily replace us if we are not good at it. But no one can replace us if we are good at it. Try listening to others and learn from them. Try not to be so defensive all the time. Take a back seat, relax and enjoy not thinking what other people will think.
