Everyone has a story. Normally starting with the day you were born then it follows into how your childhood was like or not like. How you we're raised or not raised at all. Then the lovely teen years which run right into semi adult... well you catch my drift. Typically you don't write it down in a book.... But if you had to write your own story. What would it be like? What would the title be? What kind of book besides an autobiography would it be? Comedy, drama, action, fiction? How would it end? Would people love it or hate it? Would it be hardcovered or paper back? Would you have a ghost writer? Would it be super long read or a short story? What kind of font would it be printed in? What color(s) is it going to be? Are you going to have a catchy cover that stands out? Or just font? Where will it be sold? Will it ever get published? Is it going to be a big deal? Or a big flaming dud? How will it end? Would this book continue into a series? Or would this be your one hit wonder? Why?
If you had a traumatic childhood event that scarred you for life and holds you back from alot of things in life. Are you going to identify as that? Are you going to let your fear and that trama hold you back? OR are you going to take that experience and help others to prevent it from happening to them or if the deed is already done, then help you heal the same way you did? If you had a glamorous childhood, and everything is perfect. Are you going to talk about the struggles you had? If you grew up without a mother figure, are you going to talk about how it feels to have a mother? If you have a rare disease, are you going to tell the world how much it sucks and to have pitty on you? Or are you going to rise up and show the world no matter what disease you have, that doesn't change you from having the best life ever? You choose what you identify to the world as and how you share your story.
If I challenged you to write your story, how will your story go? What parts of your book are you going to identify as? What things that happened in your life are you going to use to identify you? What are you going to share with others so they can form their identity of you? What are you going to keep telling yourself? Right, wrong, or indifferent. What are you going to train your brain to believe? What we keep dwelling on or keep inviting into our lives is typicaly how our life is going to go. By keeping negative thoughts or burdens on your shoulders invites them to continue to stay in our lives. Un-invite that party guest and tell security to kick their a$$es OUT!!!
If I asked myself that same question I just asked you two years ago I would give you a way different answer then than I would give you today. Not because I decided to start making stuff up and am I'm writing you a new fake bullshit story... No, not at all. Its because I decided to make a change and rewrite my story. Not so much change things that happened...just to change what I use to identify myself and how I choose the "theme" of my life. I chose to change how and what I believe. I decided to change what I keep telling myself. I changed my mindset.
It's funny to write this today because just yesterday I was talking to my dear friend Lord Tim and he even said while repeating a conversation he had just had with someone else about me "She is just a completely different person than she used to be." Which surprisingly, It really hit home to me. As I was taking my morning bath today those words kept running through my mind. At first, it didn't make much sense to me. Then it hit me and I couldn't help but think about my journey I've been on the last two years. I couldn't help but praise myself for a little for coming so far. I'm on a way different path then I used to be. I mean let's take a walk down memory lane of my last year.....I quit that job that stole so much of my joy. I cut out some of my best friends in life because I couldn't continue my journey forward with them in it right now. I literally walked to many miles at Devils Lake this past July and August I wore holes in the trails. Every mile I walked, something else in my life became clearer and kinda came full circle. I moved back to Las Vegas to be with my love. I'm here writing this blog today chasing my dreams. Living my best life. Is eveything perfect? No! However, I have a way different energy for life. My story isn't going to be the same poor me story I used to have. This story is going to be way different.
The best is yet to come!!
