Not just a story

The meaning we give things is based on the story we tell ourselves about those things.

We make meaning of life through stories, not just facts.

Meanwhile, we are a collection of many stories. And we can tie major decisions we have taken in life to the stories we told ourselves at each pivotal period of our life.

The one we told ourselves when we made the decision. The one we told ourselves after we got our first critical feedback. The one we are telling ourselves now as we rethink what we have earlier done.

Several stories. Not just one.
