The Power of Great Stories

the stories we tell, rehearse, and repeat to ourselves and other people, shape our life and mind.

All the things we do, all the people we get involved, the experiences we have - physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually - and above all how we see, remember, and interpret them, create the STORIES of our life.

Among these stories, there are the stories we rehearse, recall, and speak about more often than the others.

These stories, whether true or not, have significant effects in shaping our character, attitudes, emotional states, and minds - thus our decisions, action-patterns, and preferences.

Unknowingly most people rehearse lousy stories of their lives too often - and the great stories on a much less times, probably because they used to get something they want out of it when they started.

The point is people do not want to pay for lousy stories all the times. In the end people stop listening to these lousy stories - and we seek some others to hear it.

In this way, we can not have any great success - because any great success has to do with successful human relationships that last for a long time.

Living, recalling, and remembering great stories on a consistent basis - supported by meaningful actions and happy attitudes - create successful, long term, relationships among people.

The number of successful relationships - even at the normal emotional, intellectual, and spiritual levels - determine our success and riches in life.

Between a great decision and great results there are great goals and stories.
They shape your visions and imagination.
To change our life we must change the stories we tell about ourselves. All the efforts and actions - we take to create the great stories of our life - will help change our life.

Notes : we may not be able to stop people from speaking of their lousy stories - about them or about us - but we can recall, rehearse, and live the great stories of our minds, to create our life.
