There is one thing that so powerful it change change all of our lives.
There is one secret weapon that when utilized properly can make a failure a success, or turn a defeat in to a win.
It is something that with just one little adjust, one little change, everything in our world changes.
That one dynamic, potent, universal thing is the story we tell ourselves.
It is the story we tell ourselves about our life, about our relationships, and about our experiences.
It is the story we tell ourselves about our past, our present, and our future.
It is the story we replay inside our heads about who we are, what we are, and how we are.
It is the story that justifies, defends, and protects.
The real secret is… it’s all just a story! And because it’s just a story, and the fact that we are the authors of the story, we are always capable to tell a new story.
Don’t like the circumstances you are in? Tell a new story!
Don’t like the relationships you are in? Tell a new story!
Don’t like the family you are in? Tell a new story!
It does not matter if your new story is true or not, you an make it true. It does not matter if your new story is realistic or not, you will make it a reality. It does not matter if your new story has happened yet or not, just keep telling it and it will happen.
Are we telling ourselves stories of how we are worthy or unworthy?
Are we telling ourselves stories of how we are good or not good enough?
Are we telling ourselves stories of how we are lovable or not lovable?
Let’s shift and change the stories that are rolling around inside our heads, and let’s see what shifts and chances in our lives.
Taking control of our stories is remembering that we are the authors of all of our stories!
