So, what's your story?
What is the story you tell yourself? What is the story you tell the world?
What is the story you tell yourself? What is the story you tell the world?
Do you believe your story? Does your story match your life?
We all tell a story, each and everyday, through our words, through our actions - a story about who we are, what we do, where we are going, where we have been . . . a story about us. Interestingly enough though, along the way, our story, the details, the history often gets distorted. Why is it that our memory can be selective?
Did you know, that how you interrupt your story directly reflects the quality of your life? For those who choose to recount or relive the details, the events over and over again, in the first person tend to be less satisfied, less happy with their lives. Those who choose to relive the experiences from a more detached, objective perspective, are known to be able to move on with life more easily and quickly and often lead far happier lives.
S _ _t happens all of us. Do you get stuck in the muck or do you find a way through it? Reliving the details, recanting the story over and over, can be harmful to your health, wealth and well-being. It can literally shorten your lifespan. Why not try telling the story form the 'he said', 'she said' perspective and see what happens?
We all employ a little author's/writer's discretion from time to time do we not? Do we not fudge a few facts from the past and not necessarily consciously? After all, are we not just trying to put forth our identity?
Sometimes looking backwards, can help us to see how far forward we truly have come. We can see the old version, the outdated version.
What does your future look like? Have you written your script?
Envisioning life 5 minutes from now, 5 weeks from now, 5 months from now and 5 years from now . . . thinking about the possibilities . . . what harm can it bring? What if you 'pretended' to be you, you 5 years from now? What if you became that person or that person became you?
What you think about, you bring about . . . Why not create your story and try sticking to it?
. . . are the possibilities not truly endless?
Happiness is not a matter of events, it depends upon the tides of the mind ~ Alice Meynell
