If your life is a movie, would you be the main character?

I spent many sleepless nights pondering this question.

I’ve read so many books where I wish I could swap lives with the protagonist. But if a book were to be written about my life, would I be the main character?

This curious question of a teenage girl turned into the philosophical musing of a young adult, which ultimately turned into the life motto of a twenty-something: No matter what kind of life I lead, if my life were a movie, I would be the main character.

And did you know, you could be the main character of your life even without realizing it? This post lists five traits you’ll surely have if you are the hero of your life.

1. You don’t let the control slip away.

Things don’t happen to you. You make things happen.

One failure doesn’t define your identity. It’s just a step along the way.

Life is filled with infinite possibilities. You don’t function by always reacting to the things around you. You take charge.
