You Write Your Own Story

My son was picked on a lot at school last year which led to a lot of negative self talk. He had lists of all the things he was not and why these things made him less worthy, less lovable.

He was sure this was true, the die had been cast because someone else said it was so.

But here's the thing; no one gets to tell you who you are.

Your story is decided by you.

And the way you talk to yourself matters.

If you listen on others' assessments of you, if you adopt them as your own, they become "real" to you.

So listen my friends and listen well:

Unless the assessment of you is glowing, and supportive, and helpful, do not accept it. Do not believe someone else's story about you.

Write your own story.

And then rewrite your story.

And then make drafts, and more drafts.

And then rewrite it again, and again, and again.

You are a story left untold, an adventure waiting to unfold!

Don't let someone else write your story for you.

Love you!
