We all have bad things happen to us. But even when we find ourselves in the middle of a storm and we feel like we are drowning. It may just be an opportunity to stop and reframe our story and to rebuild our lives. To stop and find the silver lining in darkest of night. When things seem to be out of control, we must take time and find the opportunities behind life’s challenges. Behind each life challenge, there is a lesson somewhere in it. You see, what really matters is not what happens to us, but the stories that we tell ourselves about what took place. The stories we tell ourselves create, life. They give our lives meaning, they help us to make sense of the what we are going through, and they help guide our actions. We need to start paying attention to the stories that we tell ourselves and to others. Remember this, we are the storytellers, the narrators of our lives, we choose the story of our highs and lows, and we can spin our stories in any direction we want. That is, we can reframe our stories so that they serve and support us. In the end what really matters is not what happens to us, but the stories that we tell ourselves about what took place. What, story are you speaking? Reframe your story, reclaim your life.
