Change Your Thoughts Now

In life,

There are two things going on at all times.

Facts and stories.

Facts are things that are really not debatable,

Like I'm standing next to a cactus.

I have a hat on.

I'm wearing a blue top.

I have blonde hair.

These are facts.

There might be a person or two in the world that may debate that,

But generally speaking,

They're non-negotiables.

They're facts.

And at the same time,

We have stories about those facts.

One of my stories is that this is my magic hat,

Right?

I also have a story that you might be thinking this is such a profound learning,

But just as easily,

I could have the exact same facts,

But a story that I'm not so sure what people will think about me in this hat,

Or is this going to resonate?

I don't know.

When you truly get to experience freedom in your life,

It is as a result of knowing the difference between facts and stories and changing the story so that it serves you.

Notice what would be different if I was telling myself,

I'm not so sure if this is going to resonate or what you might think of my hat,

Versus the story of this is my magic hat,

And I know this is making a difference.

At any moment,

You can separate those facts from stories,

Forgive yourself for the stories that are unkind or not serving you,

And then choose again,

Choose a story that will.

At any moment in life,

You can pause,

Notice,

And make a new choice.

It's as easy as it is,

And it's the quickest way to having a life of freedom.

Remember,

Facts versus stories.

Choose your stories wisely.

You got this.
