The Second Improv Rule for Life: Love What You Get

In life, as in improv, we can't control what happens to us only how we react to it. In improv, with it's emphasis on low stakes, we can choose to love all the things our scene partners and our environments throw at us. Opening us up to find new experiences and grow through embracing them.
