Do you know that you are a GOOD STORYTELLER? YES, YOU ARE. Because if I asked you why you still are where you are in your life, and why you have not yet got whatever it is that you are wanting, I am sure you would quite easily come up with several reasons about what is keeping you from moving forward. You would without bigger difficulty be able to tell a STORY about why things are as they are.
We are actually very good at telling stories about HOW IT IS. It is easy because we know exactly what we are talking about. It is our experience and we know how it feels.
I met a woman the other day. She seemed somewhat reserved but when I asked her what was keeping her stuck in her job, she started talking and talking…After a while I started wondering how long she would go on. She was telling her story. And she was truly living into it.
Yes, we are good at telling about HOW IT IS.
The problem is, however, that if you really want to move forward in your life, if you want to move to another and better place, if YOU WANT A CHANGE, you cannot keep telling about HOW IT IS.
Because when you focus on WHAT IS, when you put your whole attention on WHAT IS with your thoughts and your feelings, you will get more of the same. WHAT YOU FOCUS ON, YOU ATTRACT. And when you are telling about how it is, you are also keeping your life staying as it is.
So if you really want to move forward in your life, you have to start telling a NEW STORY. A story about WHERE IT IS THAT YOU ARE GOING. A story about what you DO WANT and HOW IT WILL BE and FEEL for you when you get there. And about all the reasons WHY you can get there.
You must SWITCH YOUR FOCUS from WHAT IS to HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE. You need to open a new blank page and start writing A NEW STORY.
And as you will start telling the NEW STORY, you will also start seeing changes in your life. You will little by little start seeing evidence that you are moving forward. You will find yourself excited and inspired and more happy.
WHAT WE FOCUS ON, WE CREATE. And the stories that we tell ourselves become also our reality.
So STOP TELLING AS IT IS and START TELLING about HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE. Tell this new story as often as you can. See yourself living it. Feel it.
Because the story that you tell will also become your life.
