The Story We Tell Ourselves

Updated: 3 days ago



Sometimes in life the script we’re given no longer fits the story we want to live.


Illustration by Maurice Sendak in Robert Graves excellent book, The Big Green Book.


One day we suddenly realize the rules we were following were assigned by bosses, spouses, teachers, holy men, mentors and family members that never really had our “six.”



Maybe the path we’re on just isn’t leading to the places we want to go.



Here’s the good news:


We can rewrite our story, the one we keep telling ourselves.


We’ve always had a choice.



We can change our story and get back on the path that takes us where we want to go.



We can choose the prevailing winds and drift in the direction others expect us to go.


Or, we can set our own course and enter a world of possibility.


We can re-write our own story.


We can tell ourselves a better story and we can start right now.
