“I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.” – Charlie Chaplin

Each of us spends our life defining who we are, and in so doing, we help define the rest of the world. The practices we perform, the clothes we wear, the company we keep, and even the food we eat help to create the characters we are becoming. How blessed we are that we get to take such an active role in the development of such interesting people. For by consciously choosing what we do, wear, and eat, we assist in the creation of all around us as our example and the happiness it brings us inspire others to consciously create themselves. In all that we do, even in every thought we have, we are creating the reality in which we will live with those we love. In a life filled with so many possibilities, there are no mundane moments, for each moment is the performance of a lifetime.
