Mel Clifford – Stories of the Day

There are many types of drama, comedy, tragedy, tragicomedy, melodrama romantic, absurdist, brechtian and boal, just to name a few.

You have the inner power to create the life you wish to live, the play which you can write. It does not matter what stage of life you are at, the important thing is to know you can decide what your play will be. We know that the past is behind us, but how many of us are still living there?  Remember only the beauty of the past, don’t stay there, for it is gone. 

In my life I am the play, the audience and the author.   For 99% of the time I can decide what drama I will allow to come into my life. How I will react, what I may accept or reject.   I can start out each day with a new play of the life I wish to live. How I wish to show up in the world, accepting that I am 100% responsible for the changes I wish to create in my life. Knowing that change is in my hands and with nobody else.  

It is always important to ask simple questions, two such questions are , Why…… and What……….?

While in a Dublin Shopping Centre and walking up a stair way I overheard a mother taking to her young child, who was racing ahead of her up the stair way  “ If you go out of my sight and you get kidnapped I won’t come looking for you”

This remind me of another saying “ If you fall off that wall and break your legs, don’t coming running to me looking for sympathy”
