Forgetting that you’re in control of your story
I heard a quote recently: “You are the stories you tell yourself.” We spend so much time creating these elaborate stories in our minds, about who we are and what we’re worth, why we’re valuable and why we’re not, where we exceed and where we fail.
And in the process we make very strong assumptions about ourselves: what’s possible for us, what we can accomplish, what our limitations are, where we’ll end up in life. Sometimes we carry these stories around with us for decades. And over time they only get more powerful, assumptions hardening until they’re indistinguishable from the truth. But at the end of the day, you are in control of your story. Nothing is written in stone. Your past is not your future. You’re stronger than you think.
