It’s not important HOW you tell it. It’s just important that you do. . . Stories and narrative only exist in our imagination. I’ve heard numerous conversations lately where people say things like, . . “I’m the person who…” “I was that kid who…” “It’s because of …” . . And the sentence is finished with a series of BELIEFS that these people hold about themselves, for better or for worse, which may not even be entirely accurate (could we time travel to observe). . . Because stories often house beliefs, we can therefore rewrite the beliefs we hold about ourselves by rewriting the stories that hold those beliefs. . . For example, I kicked out, “I was a shy kid,” and replaced it with, “I came from an environment where things were often emotionally insecure and unsafe. As a result of such, I displayed a reasonable amount of caution when putting myself out into the world. In reality, I was never shy. I have always been naturally selective about where I spend energy and always intuitively understood a need for the protection of my heart.” . . *sigh* that feels better, doesn’t it? . . Only we know the truth about ourselves. It’s like a sweater that’s been knit together with the wrong pattern. Someone else was holding the needles. If you unravel the sweater, you can knit it back together the way it was always meant to be but wasn’t quite right the way it formed itself the first time around. . .
