Role Selection: 10-24-2024

1. Always remember that human beings are not roles; rather, they have roles to direct performances in specific areas for efficiency, morality (ethics), predictability, and safety.
2. Don’t accept a role you don’t want without having a good reason.
3. Find career roles that you will be comfortable living in because you will spend much of your life in them.
4. Don’t stay stuck in a role others have given you that you don’t want, for example, being a victim or martyr.
5. You might discover that a role you played for family, friends, or society is not one you wish to continue playing. Give yourself permission and courage to change roles because others will resist your changing roles due to the comforts of habit and dealing with a known.
