Create a Supportive Life Story - Empowered Storytelling
We all have a story to tell, but sometimes we get stuck in that story & become our story.
We all have our own life story. It is filled with relationships &
events that help shape who we are & what we believe to be true about
the world. Depending on our perspective & willingness to grow, our
experiences can become fodder for negativity & patterns of playing the
victim, or they can fuel a life of empowerment & continued
self-development. It is the story we tell ourselves about what happens
that makes all the difference.
Take a moment to look at the life story you create for yourself on an ongoing basis. If you generally feel peaceful about the past & trust in your ability to handle whatever comes your way, then you are framing circumstances in a manner that serves you well. On the other hand, if you retain a lot of guilt or resentment & often feel weighed down by life, you may want to start telling yourself a new version of past & present events. No matter who the characters are in your story or what they have done, you are the only one who can give their actions the meaning they will have for you. You are the only one who can define what role you will play in your own life. By taking responsibility for your story, you are able to learn & grow, forgive & find compassion, & most importantly, move on into a brighter future.
From now on, you can choose a life story that supports you. Let it be proof of your own resilience & creativity. Be kind with the roles you give yourself & generous with how many chances you get to learn what you need to know. When you remember that you are the author of your own story, you are free to create a masterpiece.
