Recognize how your stories influence your experience Our stories shape us and the world around us. There’s our experience, and then there’s what we tell ourselves about it. The stories we wrap around our experience can add perspective, depth, meaning and encouragement to our lives, or they can rob us of joy, compassion, hope, and forgiveness. Our stories can thrill and delight us or they can scare us into submission. The tales we live by are the blueprints of both our potential and our limitations because once the lines of fact and fiction have blurred and we interpret our subjective perception as “truth”, our perspective becomes self-fulfilling prophecy. When we live in a story of shame and victimization, we relinquish our power and squelch our potential. When we live in a story of sovereignty and self-responsibility, we expand our possibilities and transcend our limitations. How we view our life as a story often determines how life treats us.
