Made up stories
How many times have you thought that something was true only for it to turn out it wasn’t? Our minds tell us things. Made up things. Stories. Perhaps it is why a great story can be so effective when connecting with others. Escapism. Adventure. Something different. I certainly relish such stories but in today’s world especially I find it all too easy to get distracted from my real goals in exploring them. More discipline is needed.
So what things have your mind been telling you today? Are they true or just an idea? How do we figure out what to take at face value and what to put our faith and visions into? How present are we as beings in this day and age? Can we work to live life in the moment more and be more selective about the stories we tell ourselves? I certainly don’t think all of the stories are bad. Rather many can help us pursue our ideals with great determination.
Be more selective with your stories. Find the good ones and go with that.
