When we experience a disappointment, we often tell ourselves stories to ease the blow. We may tell ourselves how the world is a struggle and how we aren’t lucky or deserving.
The problem with this, of course, is that we believe our stories.
That any avenue of exploration didn’t provide you what you wanted says nothing about your right and ability to have whatever. Not a tut.
Quietly expect what you want. Be curious about how it might show up. Allow feelings of excitement to creep in. And when you feel yourself clamping down for fear that it won’t come true, pause and think anew.
In short, tell yourself a better story.
In your corner,
Mike
