Life is not a story
- 1. Life a story is NOT
- 2. but how we make sense of our lives is through stories
- 3. Life is a dance between experiences and stories
- 4. Our minds weave feelings and ideas together with storylines
- 5. Then these stories filter our experiences
- 6. But sometimes our stories are blinkers
- 7. They blind us from new experiences
- 8. We only experience a narrow view of the world so life becomes limited
- 9. That’s when we need to let go of old stories and say welcome to new experiences
- 10. Remedies Some for life-limiting stories are...
- 11. curiosity and
- 12. wonder
- 13. We can also become more aware of the stories around and within us
- 14. by listening to our minds and noticing our thoughts
- 15. We can do that ourselves in quiet spaces
- 16. and with other people who bring our storylines to the surface
- 17. by listening very closely to us with inner silence
- 18. When we see our stories for what they are { just stories }
- 19. we have more power to change the script
- 20. and I turned over a new leaf. We can live by different stories and experience life more freely
- 21. But there’s also a magic to stories...
- 22. Stories don’t just capture experiences
- 23. Stories can also give us new experiences
- 24. like the tingles that you feel when you’re immersed in a great story
- 25. and seeing the world through another person’s eyes
- 26. The End doesn’t come...
- 27. in this infinite dance
- 28. It’s just written, Life unwritten and rewritten in the invisible book we call
