Calling the Shotsβor Playing Our Part?
A single line from a movie has stayed with me.
"Weβre all so sure weβre calling the shots in lifeβwhen maybe weβre just playing our part."
That line is deepβand it lands because it pokes the one illusion most of us protect with our lives: control.
On the surface, we like to believe weβre in charge.
We make plans.
Set goals.
Call audibles.
Declare, βThis is my life.β
But that line quietly asks a harder question:
What if weβre not directing the storyβ¦ but stepping into one already written?
Hereβs the tension it exposesβplain and honest:
We choose, but within limits we didnβt choose.
We act, but inside circumstances we didnβt script.
We decide, yet outcomes often arrive uninvited.
That doesnβt make us puppets.
But it does humble us.
It suggests that life isnβt a chessboard we dominateβitβs more like a stage we step onto mid-scene. Weβre given a role, a moment, and a responsibility. How we show up matters. But the story itself may be bigger than our ego wants to admit.
Release, Responsibility, and Significance
Hereβs where it gets uncomfortableβand freeing at the same time:
Most people donβt suffer because they lack control.
They suffer because they refuse to release it.
When you believe youβre calling all the shots:
Failure feels like a verdict.
Detours feel like injustice.
Waiting feels like punishment.
But when you accept that you may be playing something out:
Failure becomes formation.
Detours become direction.
Waiting becomes preparation.
From a faith lensβand Iβll say this straightβScripture never paints humans as the Author, but it does cast us as accountable participants.
You donβt write the story.
But you are absolutely responsible for how you play your part.
Thatβs where significance livesβnot in control, but in obedience, humility, and trust.
Or said another wayβquick and clean:
You donβt need to control the story.
You need to be faithful in the scene youβre in.
That line hits because deep down, we know itβs true.
π Do you believe weβre directing our livesβor stepping into something already unfolding? Why?
or
π Whatβs one area of your life where releasing control might actually bring peace?
