When You Change the WAY You Look At Things, The Things You Look at CHANGE!~Wayne Dyer
The “story” is the private and public conversation of justifications, reasons, explanations, and fixed positions that stand in the way of our being effective.
We often trade our “story” for the results we intend. People rarely consider what would be possible if they were not limited by their “story”.
Our “story” obscures the “source” of our effectiveness by locating what happened outside ourselves. Our “story” has a design that always seeks to make us “right” about the interpretations we are creating. Often, others are made wrong in our “story”. Our “story” can also be a commitment to the “looking good” to ourselves, and to what others perceive.
We accept our “story” as thought it were true, valid and “reasonable”. We are “blind” to our “story”. If we are skillful, we sell our “story” to others. They often buy in, this creating additional agreement or “reality” about our “story”.
We seldom notice that our “story” is composed of unexamined assumptions and ungrounded assessments that produce no distinctly designed action. Ultimately, what we are left with is a life made out of our “story”. The result of this shows up as a life not working, or struggle.
When we are able to distinguish what happened and the meaning we gave to what happened, then we can take responsibility for CREATING our “story”. Taking responsibility frees us from the prison of our own “story”.
If you would like to learn more about how to create a new story schedule a time to meet with a coach 1:1 over the phone and we can work you through this process. We will start by asking you four simple questions:
- What is working?
- What is not working? (or not working as well as you want)
- What’s missing? (that if it weren’t missing would make a difference)
- What’s next? (Who? Action(s) taken/promised? How much? By When?)
To your success and more WOOHOOing in your business!
