The Story You Choose To Believe

‘Do not wage a war on reality, invest in shaping perceptions. Our truth is not what we see. Our truth is the story we choose to believe.’- The Diary of a CEO

Where you are today is not where you are going to be tomorrow. What you are doing right now, it is not what you are going to be doing tomorrow.

The things that you are celebrating now, what is making you happy now, what you are chasing now, it is not what you are going to be chasing tomorrow.

But you have got to change something. Because what you are looking for is not going to happen by accident.

It is not going to happen by accident. You must do something about it. Because nothing is going to happen without you. Your life is not going to change without you.

If you are tired of what is going on in your life, don’t fight yourself. Instead of beating yourself up, why not take your time to question what you have been telling yourself, the story you have been carrying around?

Because where you are is not the problem. What you are doing is not the problem. The real problem is what you are telling yourself. It is what you choose to believe.

If you want to change where you are, you must change your thoughts. If you want to change the direction of your life, you must change the story you are telling yourself. And you must stop believing your own story.

To grow, you must stop believing your own story. Because it is not true.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to change the story you are telling yourself?’

What Are You Struggling With?

You are not alone. Whatever it is that you are going through, do not lose your heart. Do not forget who you are. Do not tear yourself down. It is going to be alright.

No matter how tough, it is not going to be here forever. It will go away.

Struggling is not a crime. It is not going to destroy you. It is going to make you stronger. It is going to make you smarter. It is going to make you calmer.

Do not lose your heart. Do not blame other people for what you are going through in your life.

Because you do not know what they are going through. They are going through things. But they are not like yours.

According to Ray Dalio, ‘… we all struggle with different things at different times in our lives….’ He is right. No one is free.

Whatever it is that is keeping you up at night, just know that it is not going to be here forever.

All you need to do is to take care of yourself.

When you take care of yourself, when you are doing well, when you are living well, when you are thinking well,

when you are loving well, other things will follow.
