The Direction of Intention

120.
Join me in inspiring truly powerful people. Each day I will add a new thought, story or idea to support your quest and mine.

The story you tell yourself about yourself is a creative act; it is something that you do. The story that you tell yourself about yourself occupies most of your waking hours; it is one of the fundamental actions of your life and whether you recognize it our not, it is an act of creation. You are fundamentally creative, creating yourself with every story you tell, every experience you interpret, every yearning you imagine, and every memory you re-play. At the inception of every action you take is the story you tell yourself about yourself.

You cast yourself in this story that you tell and you play many roles in the story. Some of the roles you like to play, some you do not. Whether you like them or not you agree to play all of the roles. You don’t have to play any role that you do not agree to play.

In the theatre, a character (a role) is defined by how you do what you. The actions you take (the verbs) identify you, not the name (the noun): teacher, mother, friend…, are meaningless labels until the actions are considered. A role is not fixed, it is not a singular thing; it is fluid, variable, and dynamic. You are fluid, variable, and dynamic. Your actions give substance to the roles that you play.

If you want to know the story you tell, the roles that you play, take a look at the actions you take. You are the storyteller of this story. What actions and agreements do you like to play? What agreements and actions do you want to change?
