Is the story you’re telling expanding or contracting what is possible for you?

The way you tell a story, about yourself, others, or the world, matters. Like any story it will include some things and leave other things out. Each story creates a framework you live out of, often unconsciously. Sometimes life knocks you out of your familiar story so fast you're left groundless. With time and receptivity, these experiences can open you up to stories you never could have imagined possible. Other times you might get tired of hearing yourself tell the same story over and over and that is your opportunity to investigate the impact it's having on your life and make a commitment and plan to change. Regardless of how it might seem, you are the author of your stories and you can choose to keep them, let them go, or transform them.
