What if some of the beliefs shaping your life were never true to begin with? The stories we tell ourselves influence our identity, decisions, and opportunities, often without us realizing it. And some…
What you really said is so profound, especially when you mentioned that some we start creating our stories when we are born.
And also you mentioned we not having the neurological capacity to really examine the stories we are having.
Most of the stories, the parts of the stories that we carry are fake, just like you said, and it will require intentionality to really question what the stories are, to really know if they are true to us now.
One thing I would love to ask is why is it so difficult for people to question the stories, to question the bad stories that they have about themselves?
And when we believe something, especially when we believe it's important, We can find all kinds of evidence in our daily experiences, day after day after day, that will validate that.
We can interpret, like I said, a foundational false belief is I'm not good enough.
And if I believe I'm not good enough, I can find evidence of that everywhere I go.
I'm going into a restaurant or a grocery store and the person before me didn't hold the door open for me.
Is that because I'm not good enough? Yeah, it must be because I'm not good enough.
You know, we interpret all those things as evidence that our story is correct because the story that we have been developing, we have been doing that to keep ourselves safe.
That ability to tell stories developed in prehistoric times when as cave people, cave dwellers, we needed to learn about our environment and share that information with others.
And the ability to make a cohesive story about where we live and where the dangers are and where the goodies are, that story was life-saving.
