Truly it is all in the telling. Telling your story...you have control over that. You may not have had control over everything that has happened to you. But you do have control over how you talk about it.
One life experience..two ways of telling it. Two very different ways the world will react to you and more importantly two different ways you react to yourself. Ah choice...it's yours.
Two ways to tell my story:
I am a woman who has been through almost 3 years of hell...post traumatic stress, little or no income and no health insurance who has struggle to get back on her feet with help from her friends and family. I am back on my feet surveying the damage and picking up the pieces of my life.
Or...
I am a woman who has come through almost three years of darkness...I was knocked to the ground by life circumstances but I am back up on my feet in the light again. I own my own business writing, publishing and selling information products which help people navigate through their lives. Until that business can support me in the lifestyle I will quickly become accustom to :) I work part time jobs so while "my ends may not be meeting yet...but they can see each other from the mountains tops!" My intentions this year are to create an intimate family for myself, take very good care of myself and grow my business....and every day experience the joy of being back in the light after so much darkness.
Which story would draw you to it? Which story would make you run for cover? Which story makes you want to get up every morning? Which story makes you reach for the covers to hide?
Same circumstances..honestly they are. Different telling.
Now look at how you tell your story...what are you saying? To the world and more importantly to yourself?
