What if we could uncover the way we are looking at life in light of how it might be sabotaging our own success or lack of success?

What if the story we tell ourselves is sabotaging how we view life?

Even standing in our way of being successful?

How do some people rise above their circumstances in these hard economic times to still experience success?

What’s their secret?

What drives them to succeed, to get past the circumstances and fears and yes, sometimes their cynicism?

I believe it is how they choose to believe and how they change their story to be open to another way of viewing or framing how they see life.

How about you?  Are you willing to frame your story differently, to have your life turn out in a way you never expected?

Here’s a video that I came across that I thought was so powerful I wanted to share it with you today.

Sean Stephenson speaks about a big life altering lesson while on a date. Notice how he views the story and how he uses it to frame his life.

Tell me what you think about this video and how it touched you and made you consider something different for yourself.  Anything is possible if we are willing to shift from the story we’ve been telling ourselves to a new story!!

Aloha for now,

The story we tell ourselves.  What does that mean? How does the story we tell ourselves affect the way we look at life?                                                                                                

We all have a viewpoint that is based on our lives up to the present time; where we’ve lived, the people we’ve known and history we’ve created over that lifetime.  Each of us has “a story” and each of us sees that story differently.  For most people their “story” is simply memories of times past; good, bad or indifferent, and they don’t think much about it.

But what if we could change the way we look at “our story?”

If we could uncover how these stories affect us, then we could better use them to our advantage. This is how I feel and how I coach my clients using  some of the questions below.  I pose these questions to help them, not so much understand their  story, but to shift their thinking, to looking at the story and the circumstances differently.

 This, therefore, helps them to understand the power their story has on their lives.

Think about how powerfully your story has a hold of you and affects the way you view your life.  What if by asking yourself some of these questions, you were able to gain some altitude in how you view life?!

 *How is your story working for you these days?

*Is it stopping you from a greater experience in life?

*What about the contribution that is who you are?  What does that mean….. Think about it…..Who we are is actually a contribution to everyone we know and the world around us.

*Is it possible that the way you are, may be having an impact and contribution on those around you and you not even know it? (Later I will go into how I view the word contribution and how we can see the power of that word.)

*Would it be valuable to know what and how your story is impacting your life and others? 

*Would you like to know how it affects your relationships, your friendships, your work and career….

Stay tuned…..

 AND I would like some feedback in how this subject is landing for you.

Much Aloha,

Coach Kathleen
