The road wasn’t steep. The story was.
Today, my friend Nikki told me a story.
And I can't stop thinking about it.
You see...
Four years ago, she went to a beach here in Bali.
Ever since then, she remembered the road to get there as very steep.
So steep that this time, on the way there, she was warning her friend:
“Prepare yourself, this part is intense.”
But when they arrived…
They couldn’t find anything steep at all.
No dramatic drop.
No scary turn.
No “oh shit” moment.
Instead, Nikki kept asking:
“Where is that steep road?”
And then it clicked.
Four years ago, she was a beginner on a scooter.
New.
Insecure.
Tense.
Overthinking every turn.
So the road felt steep.
Today?
She’s experienced.
Grounded.
Confident.
Same road.
Completely different experience.
The road didn’t change.
She did.
And yet… the story stayed.
This is how so many of us live.
We’re still reacting to life through stories that were formed when we were:
- younger
- less skilled
- less resourced
- less safe
Stories that made sense back then.
But here’s the problem:
They’re still running in the background.
They whisper:
- “This will be hard.”
- “I’m not ready.”
- “This is dangerous.”
- “I can’t handle this.”
Even when the road isn’t steep anymore.
Those stories don’t exist anywhere else.
Not in reality.
Not in the present moment.
Only in the mind.
And as long as they run unchecked, life keeps feeling harder than it actually is.
Here’s the part that matters most to me.
Once you change the story...
once you update the lens you’re looking through...
you might arrive and be genuinely confused.
“Wait… this is it?”
“Where’s the steep part?”
And if you ask me?
I’d rather be surprised and confused for a moment...
than scared for my entire life.
What about you?
If you want to:
- identify the old story that’s still running you
- understand when it was created and why
- and actually change it (not just talk about it)
Comment STEEP and let’s talk.
Isn't this the time to update your story...
so you can start living like it’s now...
and not 20 years ago???
