The Direction of Intention

36.

Join me in inspiring truly powerful people. Each day I will add a new thought, story or idea to support your quest and mine.

Change starts internally. It is not possible to initiate external change if you don’t begin inside. The change begins in asking some form of this question: what is the story-you-tell-yourself-about-yourself and the world?

Truly powerful people are aware of the story they tell. First, they are aware that it is a story – an interpretation, not a fact. They are aware that they cast themselves in the story they tell (one person can and does play many roles in a single day!). The real potency comes when they realize (and own) that they are the teller of their story. Of course, the obvious next question is, as the teller of my own story, what story do I want to tell? That question marks the place where transformation begins.

Think of it this way: when you recognize that you are the teller of your story, you also recognize that the same is true for every one else. You stop enabling. You stop trying to manipulate what others see or don’t see. Imagine what you could do in the world with all of the time and energy you to spend on trying to be ‘right!’
