April 10, 2007, The Story

I would say that everyone has a story; the truth is that everyone has millions of stories. All the experiences you've ever had remain with you as a story in your mind.

Each and every time that you rehash an event in your mind you are reliving that particular story and no matter how it felt when you originally experienced the event - that's exactly the same way you will feel when you think about it again; unless, of course, you've changed the story.

That's the trick to it all. Taking a negative happening and finding the good in it, therefore, altering the way you look at it. Changing your perspective on a negative story is extremely important so that you don’t use it in a similar situation as proof that it’s the way life is. That type of acceptance can only render you powerless to change a situation you dislike. After all if you don’t believe it can be changed you won’t even attempt to.

That something may be how others take advantage of you, how life isn't fair, how bad a boss you have, how you're not good enough and so many other possible beliefs.

You have a choice. You can choose the story or you can choose the actions that will change your life. The story is nothing more than that - a tale of the past. Put it where it belongs and move into action. You have many options; pick the ones that move you to the greatest you can be; the ones that will fill your soul and bring you joy.

You deserve it.
