You Are The Narrative
Stories shape reality. The narrative you tell yourself determines what you see, what you do, and ultimately who you become. You aren't just living your story—you're creating it with each decision.
Most people inherit narratives. They accept stories about their limitations, capabilities, and futures from parents, teachers, culture, and experience. These borrowed narratives become invisible prisons that shape their choices without their awareness.
Personal authorship changes everything. When you recognize that you can rewrite your own story, possibilities expand. The obstacles that seemed fixed become flexible. The limitations that felt permanent become temporary. You move from character to creator.
Your brain naturally creates stories to make sense of reality. It's constantly interpreting events, assigning meaning, and constructing narratives that explain your experience. This happens automatically unless you consciously direct it.
The stories you tell yourself shape what you notice and what you ignore. They determine what feels possible and what feels impossible. They influence how you interpret failure, success, challenge, and opportunity.
Take control of your narrative. Stop living a story that doesn't serve you. Start writing one that does. Because in the end, you become what you believe.
