Stories

Our lives are composed with beliefs that then create the stories of our lives. Yup, our whole life is made up, we create the story that we live by the beliefs that we hold to make that story true. Believe me?

If one has a belief that they are never going to have a successful business because they think for whatever reason they don't deserve it, aren't good enough, whatever the story is, do you think this person can have a successful business? Everything this person does stems from this limiting belief that will feed the story to justify it as true. Even if they want this business to flourish all of their choices are colored by this underlying belief that they are never going to have a successful business and will be unable to make the best choices to make the business successful.

What about a story about a person not being good enough for a raise? Even if they are taking in loads of extra work, proving themselves to be a great employee, they are creating the conditions to not get the raise. Maybe all it would take is for them to ask for it, dispelling the myth of being undeserving to get the raise.

All I'm saying is that all of these stories we create to justify what are our perceived shortcomings or obstacles are, are just that. They are perceived, and they are just stories. So, if our beliefs and stories are all made up anyways, why not be the dragon slayer in yours?
