What Story are you Writing?
While the New Year is upon us, and people have taken off the starting line in pursuit of their goals, resolutions and habits, already a few days in some are already feeling depleted and discouraged.
One of the things I've been contemplating a lot recently though has been humanity's disconnection from story and myth. After all, ever since before Neanderthals could talk, we were drawing symbols on cave walls depicting a series or sequence of events that included a plot, a character and a progression. This is the heart and foundation of a story.
The Bible and other religious texts are a compilation of stories.
The question becomes: what story are YOU writing?
What's the story you're telling yourself? What's the story you're creating? Is it one that you'd want to tell around a campfire? Is your story one of perfection and wholeness or one of shame and discontent? Is it a story of courage, growth and expansion? Or a story of doubt, self-neglect and contraction? Is it a story of fulfillment and nourishment? Or a story where of compliance and sacrificial enslavement?
If you were to look at your Life as a whole, and you connected with the Story that your Soul has laid out for you to Live, what chapter are you in right now? Are you in the chapter of rest and recuperation where you reorient and realign with your purpose? Are you in the chapter where you've gathered your tools, packed your pack and are ready to head out on your next excursion? Are you in the chapter where you're coming back home to yourself? Are you in the chapter where you're to go out in search of meaningful relationships and pursuits to support and fortify? What chapter are you in?
Are you embracing it? Are you torn between the last chapter and the next one? What would it take for you to close the last chapter and jump into the next one with earnest enthusiasm, excitement and vigor. It's a new chapter. Though it may follow the last chapter, it is nonetheless a new one-ripe with the opportunity for the story to take a change of direction, a turn of events, a resolution, a healing and an expansion.
It's your story. Write it how you want, so long as you remember that you're the author.
