📖 The stories we tell ourselves

Stories we tell ourselves impact our lives and drive our decisions

There are two types of stories we tell ourselves. Those that recall events that have already happened and those that we speak of in the future-tense.

While we can’t change the stories of our past, we can alter the stories we tell ourselves about our future.

We can decide to create stories in our minds that are based in fear (“What if I lose my job in the next round of layoffs?”) or that come from a place of wonder and hope (“I wonder when that manager position I’ve been aiming for will open up.”).

The stories that we decide to tell ourselves will impact our lives and will help guide our future successes or failures.
