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. 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.
