Authors of our Life Story

Authors of our Life Story

We are all authors of our own Life Story. We are storytellers who have our own personal narrator talking non-stop to us. Some stories we keep to ourselves, others we share. Some we embellish, some we ignore.

If we visualize ourselves, with a pen in our hand about to write the next paragraph of our life, we can decide how we would like it to be. We can recognize that sometimes we have absolutely no control of certain situations, and yet the next paragraph still needs to be written.

If we look at ourselves as being authors of our own life, it gives us a lot of control. We can edit, we can change, we can introduce new characters, have some characters leave, learn a new skill, or drop a habit that doesn’t serve us. By knowing that we are the lead character and author of our Life Story, we cannot rely on or blame someone else for our story, but realize it is up to us.

Take a moment and ask yourself "How do I want the main character of my Life Story portrayed?" "How do I want this Story to play out?" "What am I going to do in the next paragraph, that next page, next chapter of my life?"

And lastly, don't forget to enjoy the act of writing!
