I posted this a while back on LinkedIn and then I kind of lost myself in the pause - a contemplative inner reset moment of myself.
It feels ever more true.
I notice how tired I am of the current narrative. Of the stories I’m being sold and the shouty voices in the world.
So I’ve decided to pick a different one.
One that comes from deep down in the gut. From the human part of me that connects easily to others, that feels, that loves, that wants to build others up and share and shine.
That is a story that says there is a different way, a way that is so much more in tune with who I am when I’m really connected to me.
We are woven from story. From ancestors who sat around fires exchanging tales, to the me who sat on my kids’ beds reading story after story into the night.
We build ourselves through stories. Stories we make up about ourselves. Stories the world makes up for us.
Stories we believe so deeply they put us under a spell.
And I think people are starting to feel ready for a new narrator and a different plot. Stories matter because they are an invitation. They give us the impossible and make it possible.
When we choose the story we deeply want rather than the one being imposed on us - something happens, we take back something that is subtle and uniquely ours.
If you’re ready to unpack the stories that no longer fit you, message me, or just start by noticing what stories are currently running your day.
Let’s look at this world with new eyes and build something worth living. Because it’s time.
Oh and photo is sunset in the Sahara - a good place to tell stories.
