Things happen in life. There are the facts about what happened and there is the story you tell yourself about what happened.
We humans tend to merge what actually happened in a given situation and what our little voice interprets the occurrence. We do it so automatically that it becomes hard to separate the fact from the made up story. Over time we think of it as how the actual instance happened.
Making someone or something bad and wrong because we made up a story puts constraints and boundaries in our lives. Until the cycle of story and fact is broken we find ourselves caught in an endless loop of misinterpretation.
By separating the story from the fact we get to see how our story has influenced our thinking, and our behavior. Personal relationships begin again to flow. Limitations in our thinking expand and options that didn’t seem present before appear.
