I love this quote – it sums us humans up so well!
“Why is it I feel no one really knows me, until they know my story?”
So much of our identity is built up around our story. Who are we? What has happened to us? What are our war wounds and badges of honour?
But that’s not who we really are. That’s who we used to be.
And the amazing thing is that every day we get to start anew and re-write our story.
Are there any edits you’d like to make today?
Wishing you a day full of sunshine and laughter.
Namaste,
Clare
P.S. Joan’s book “Bare-Bones Meditation – waking up from the story of my life” is well worth a read, if this quote resonated for you 😉
I was mired in my “story” for a long time.
And, although it was an act of compassion to turn around and face it, what occurred to me one day was just how much my focus on the sad parts effected me today.
So, one day I decided to list all of the good parts and “rewrite” my story from that perspective.
That was truly an empowering moment.
