Are your stories working for you?

The only thing preventing us from

• being who we want to be;
• doing what we want to do;
• and having what we want to have

is the stories we tell ourselves about why we can't.

For example, if you didn't go to university and you use that as a reason for not going for a particular job or promotion, that's your story.  You could choose a different story, such as the additional life experience you've gained in the years you might have been at university, which will give you an edge over your competition.

The question is, is your story working for you or against you?

What stories have you been telling yourself (and others) about why you can't be, do or have whatever you want?

Isn't it time to change the story to one which supports you to move positively towards the goals you want to achieve?

Why would you let go of these stories right now?  Give yourself as many compelling reasons as you can for why you would get rid of these stories, and re-create yourself in a new light.

What determines the quality of our lives is not what happens to us.  What determines the quality of our lives is the meaning we give to events that happen, and the choices we make as a result of that meaning.
