Athena
Plan A:
I, Athena, will become a storyteller.  I will utilize the written word and
the craft of acting.  I will be successful at this endeavor based on
the scale of my own personal standards and not the standards of
industry or fame.  I will find completion in my work and joy in the
process.  I may cry and wail but I will also laugh and dance.  I will
find inspiration and wisdom and adventure in this plan.  I will not run
away from the responsibility I have to myself to maintain my own
level of happiness.  

I will create.  I will entertain.  I will not hope for a plan B or
otherwise, because this life –is from here forth – the life I choose
until it no longer suits me.  I will write, act, travel and live from this
day forward as though my dreams are entirely reasonable, realistic
and worthy.

I will make a safe and comfortable living within this Plan.  I will not
be deterred by labels designed to cause shame such as; selfish,
dreamer, childish or any other such description put to me with the
intention of making me quit.  When I look back over my life I will not
find regrets that I didn’t attempt to live my dreams based on fear,
or a sense of unworthiness.  I will not let rejection, or the judgments
of others keep me from my voice as a storyteller.  

Plan A is only a part of Bliss, but it is a huge part, and therefore will
be granted the proportionate amount of energy required to feel
balanced.  I will not apologize or feel embarrassment for the sheer
scale of my dreams.

I, Athena, from this day forth, will strive to complete and maintain
Plan A.  I will make alterations to the Plan as needed or as my
desires change.  I stand behind this statement of intentions
regardless of the repercussions or the negative fallout of my
declarations.  I will not demure, or step down, or make myself less
to keep a status quo.  This I do swear, on Wednesday the 27th of
September, 2006.  So be it.

-Athena
