We all have our own life story. It is filled with relationships
and events that help shape who we are and what we believe to be true about
the world. Depending on our perspective and willingness to grow, our
experiences can become fodder for negativity and patterns of playing the
victim, or they can fuel a life of empowerment and 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 and 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 and often feel weighed down by life, you may want to
start telling yourself a new version of past and 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 and grow, forgive
and find compassion, and 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 and creativity. Be kind with the roles you give
yourself and 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.
