The Stories We Craft: Are They Building or Breaking Us?
Stories have a lot of power.
Consider a past relationship and the heartbreak you felt when it came to an end. If you delve deeper, you might realize that your feelings weren’t about the other person; they were more connected to the narrative you constructed about that person.
You were destined to be together.
“Soulmates.”
The universe does not want me to be alone, and here’s the proof!
Once that story fell apart, you fell apart as well.
Think about a time when you excelled at something, a sport, etc. Your progress outshone that of your peers and from that moment on…
Once again, it’s story time.
I’ve been given these talents for a reason.
I’ve now found my purpose in life.
The stories we tell ourselves can make or break us, so when it comes time for your next story, make it a good one, but also — tread lightly.
