Control the narrative
• One of the few but vital things in your control is choosing a narrative that serves you in any situation you face. • It pays to cultivate your explanatory style to render any situation as a blessing: – An achievement – A fulfilling step in your journey – A lesson – A practice of virtues • “But isn’t that making stuff up? What if my narrative isn’t the truth?” The only true thing is facts. One’s interpretation of them is their personal truth. Just because popular opinion believes something to be true doesn’t mean it should also be true for you unless you choose to accept it. • You remain centered & at peace when you choose perspective (yours) over perception (others), and one that serves your growth.
