The true story

What is the story you have crafted to explain who and why you act the way you do? Ask yourself if this is the true story of your life or one that you have adopted as an excuse to live the version you have created up to this point. Imagine that you are watching your story as if you were sitting in a movie theater. Would you sit there in anticipation of the next scene or would you walk out telling yourself how boring it was? You story is based on so many aspects including your interpretation of past events. These interpretations create the lens through which you view your life. Is that lens only allowing the darkness to enter or does it allow you to see all the vivid colors of the rainbow?  Accept that on the day you were born, you arrived with a clean slate in which you were responsible for writing your story upon it. As you look back upon what you wrote, what does it say about that story? Do you portray yourself as the hero, the villain, or the victim? Know that you can change your role at any time. You can think of your next moments as a blank page of your story ready to receive a new version  of you are and how you see yourself in the world. What would it take for you to create a new story for yourself if the old one no longer describes who you are and want to be?
