YOUR LIFE IS YOUR STORY. WRITE A GOOD ONE!

Have you ever wished to see into your future? You think you can, right? Remember, nothing exists in the future because the future doesn’t really exist. But your story about the future does exist. It’s in your head right now. Maybe you’ve never thought about where it came from or how editable it truly is. It’s just a story, after all. You’re the author. You hold the pencil and the eraser. The entire story is written by you. We use our past and present as building blocks and background material, but the story we tell ourselves about the future is pure fantasy.

We all want our future to be bright and happy. Each tomorrow turns into today, so our present is also a part our future. There is always a tomorrow to look forward to and improve, but you can’t go back to yesterday. So, maintain the balance of your present life while you work for a better tomorrow. You are free to write — or rewrite — whatever story stirs your soul. You have the freedom to write whatever story you want to live.

I don’t know if it will come true, but let’s assume that you do get to pick the story, and whatever story you tell yourself does come true. What story will you write? I believe that if you change the limiting stories you tell yourself, you will be able to change your life. So, write a very beautiful story because that will change your life completely. The best, clearly, is yet to come!
