We hear a lot about self-esteem and self-image. We have entire sections of the bookstore devoted to self-help. We may uproot our lives to go “find ourselves.”
Theoretically, our “self” is that part of us that tells us what we believe we are capable of—and not—thus creating a “self-fulfilling prophecy.” Also, the “self-made man” we hear of.
But what is the self? I would argue - nothing but a composite of stories added to the predisposition of personality.
As a concept, a reflection, even a perspective of consciousness, there is nothing materially real to our “self.” The hard science folks agree—our “self” cannot be found. If we are only a combination of brain synapses creating ideas and images that project themselves into our selves… sounds like a scam, doesn’t it...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com

Once upon a time.
Past tense, future tense, present tense. (So tense!)
Our stories about the mysteries of life may require us to think in a way that transcends time—but that is also a reference to time. The timeless in opposition to time.
Our sense of time moving fast or slow tells us something about how much we are enjoying the string of present moments we are in.
We have good times and bad times, boring times, climactic times.
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was the okay of times...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com

When it comes to stories, there is one skill that—with no exaggeration—will make or break our lives. This skill is a choice that shows up every day, in every interaction, and through everything we create. When the choice comes at a particularly important crossroads, it is vital to exercise this skill. But small, everyday choices add up, too.
What is it? When in doubt, and especially when it is impossible to know a given truth, choose the best possible story...

Not all stories are created equal. Rather, not all stories hold equal weight in our lives. I have long explained this through the metaphor of a very, very expensive cake.
Imagine you have a roommate and you have just moved in together. It’s her birthday and you decide to swing by the local grocery and get her a cake. The cost is $6.99 - and maybe 15 minutes of your time. You decide you’ll take the chocolate. When you give the cake to her, she says, “Uh, thanks, but I don’t like chocolate cake.” You think “rude” and choose to eat the cake yourself. Next birthday, though, no cake. You know her better and are closer, but you remember her last response. Kind of hard to forget...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com

Imagine a box. A story box.
Everything in your life fits in this story box, and as time passes, some things fall out, while new things are put in. The new shapes the memories of the old so that a sense of incongruence does not arise. We can travel through our lives with a box that feels cohesive. Carrying this box, we feel like “us” to “ourselves” and not much changes that feeling. We feel like ourselves even if—upon closer examination—there’s not much to support that feeling.
All goes well with our story-boxed life until something happens that does not fit; does not match who we assume ourselves to be on the surface.
At this juncture, we have a decision to make. Will we accept what we cannot understand? Will we investigate further? Or will we say, “Well, that was weird,” and forget about it...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com

Nowhere are we closer to our deeper stories than in our dreams. I find it fascinating that we use the same word—dream—for both that which we experience when asleep at night and for our more conscious wishes, hopes, plans, and visions. Common between the two types of dreams are the bravery it requires to look closely at them and the intimacy and vulnerability it demands to share them. They are, after all, deeper glimpses into our selves and souls. Story portraits, if you will, of who we really are and who we wish to be...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com

We cognitively understand that we live in a world of left and right, up and down, young and old. In short, that everything has its opposite. We are born, we die. We win some, we lose some. Everyone knows this. Few choose to think about it much, at least when things are going well. As I’ve often said: “Nobody soul searches on a good day.” Rarely do we think about guardian angels coming with menacing devils to thwart us - at least in contemporary society, where we have white-washed evil as a superstition and espouse darkness as a mere lack of education. The traditional Old Ones always gave their fair warnings. We seem to think we are above that need now...

At the end of the day, every compelling story is a yes story or a no story. For a time, you can get away with a maybe story, or a wait and see story, but not for long. Life doesn’t stand for it. The half-hearted will always get passed by in favor of the yes-er and the no-er. As a story author, you get to choose to create a protagonist - which is to say the central character of the story living out their yes or no truth - or a victim… someone lost to the story unfolding. Fate, if you will. What you can’t create is a couch-sitter who keeps couch sitting. There’s no story in that story...
