All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.”

Here’s a practical guide to interacting people with your everyday life. The way you do that is step back, into the theatre, and watch yourself do your thang. Watch yourself get dressed, watch yourself go to work. Watch your self interact with the people whom you are working with. This is what separates and reverses the ego-strategy.

I realized this after working with No More Mr Nice Guy, with breaking free lessons.

The reason the breaking free lesson are so important is they help you dislodge yourself from the person that is the body. The one who does all the heavy lifting. They help you begin to see that you aren’t really YOU on the stage, the you that’s watching yourself is in the mind, in the theatre with Shakespeare.

All you do is take a line like that he gives you and there’s almost 50 of them, use it build a framework for your everyday life.

My best case scenario was when they said to stop caretaking and giving to get. Those covert contracts don’t work. So when I went to the mall and refrained from buying a bottle of lotion for my girlfriend it wasn’t to punish her it was because I needed to step back and come to where the audience is and watch myself do my thing. Instead of buying her lotion I went to a T-shirt stall and had a T-shirt custom made to use at the gym. I’m very proud of myself. But Don’t stop doing what you’re doing. Don’t leave your job or your family because their dicks. Don’t do all the silly things people do. Be normal. Do what everybody else is doing but do it with another purpose.
