Work, part, role

“if we kept close to Him and performed His work well” (Chapter 5, Big Book)

His work is the set of actions He enjoins me to take. Well means as directed.

The actor performs well if he plays his role well.

The fate of the character in the play is not the measure by which the actor’s merit is assessed.

The fate of my character in the world is not the measure by which my merit is assessed.

I perform well if I play my role well.
