Which Story are You Telling?
“I was having coffee at a favourite town café and reading the paper. Beside me in earshot, two women were describing their ailments: chronic and otherwise, new medication on top of old, its effects on their respective bodies whether a now swollen foot or more rapid heartrate… I was not deliberately listening; their voices were loud enough to break through the regular din of this popular spot. What struck me was the absence of personalizing anything else but the state of their health for a good chunk of the conversation. Both had compelling descriptions; both were telling their story about themselves – both stories that defined them according to limitations. Repeating what limits you anchors and reinforces that limitation in your psyche. When you describe yourself in terms of possibilities – as in “I see myself on a beach because I know my knee will heal,” you anchor yourself in the realm of opportunity, and this is a good thing.”
