The bridge to waking up

Julian Moses Photography, 2020

It is not what happens.

It’s the narrative we create around what happens 

that offers the opportunity for waking up. 

How does that work?

A narrative is a story. This narrative we tell is a blend of our convictions, beliefs, 

values, fears, and hopes combined with the events as we experience them. 

It’s subjective. It’s a fabrication. It’s not “truth.” 

It’s just a story we have created.

And therein lies the opportunity for waking up! 

By examining how we tell the story

we can recognize its motivating factors.

We can see that it is nothing but a script -

and it may have become boring, paralyzing, or stupefying. 

We can change that script, that story, that narrative!

The bridge to a happier life can be crossed 

when we first embrace our self, our beliefs, our conditions, 

and then change the narrative. 

"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Wayne Dyer

Happy re-writing!
