The journey of our lives tells a story. Consciously or unconsciously we choose the type of story we want to tell. You can tell happy or inspiring stories….or you can tell dark stories of tragedy and fear.
The stories we tell are based on our beliefs, desires, needs and expectations, and we will consciously or unconsciously act out our story to support these things.
Stories are the expressive creation of your mind and your soul. You have picked this card so you can stop and think about what kind of life story you are writing.
Here are some questions you could ask yourself about your life story: If my life were a book or movie, what would it be about? (you are all the characters and the writer.) Ask yourself – If I were watching a movie about my life, would I get up and walk out half way through? Or is my story captivating, inspiring, beautiful, loving and fun!
We chose our stories for some purpose. Ask yourself what that purpose is. What purpose do I have for writing the story I am living? What is the payoff? What is my need? What is my belief or expectation? What gift or opportunity stays hidden by this? What is this story allowing me to do or not do? Behind every event and experience, there is a need or want that is trying to get meet, and an expectation or belief that is being lived out. For example let’s explore what the hidden need/want is, or what the underlying belief or expectation is for the following scenario. Let’s say we want to provide a meaningful service but we aren’t. Is it because we are not ready yet because we need to build our skills or trust in our ability first? Or, do we expect failure and a lack of funding or support? Or,perhaps we believe we are not worthy of providing meaningful things. Or, maybe we don’t want to put in the time and effort after-all.
Perhaps you are living out a dark story. You came to a planet that is made up of light and dark…a place of contrast. Understand how you are benefiting from the dark….the dark contrast or the dark stories. Maybe you have chosen a dark story because you want to add excitement to your life. Maybe it’s because you want to tell ‘a rags to riches story’, ‘a disease to wellness story’, or ‘a villain turned hero story’! Remember; if it’s a Healing Story or a Heroic Story that you are telling , you need sickness, a villain or a victim . They don’t sound like such great stories after all, do they?.…not when you see them in that light! What if you unconsciously created a dark story of illness, disease or tragedy because you actually need to change your life…or you need/want to be cared for more… or you want to consciously or unconsciously end your life?
After you have come to understand why you have a dark story playing, you can change it by choosing a different script. For every little scene of the old dark story that plays out, you can say to yourself, ‘I don’t need or want this anymore. What I need/want is ____’.
You have within you, (and with the help of the universal energy of love, joy, creation and wisdom), the ability to change your story into anything you want. At every moment of your life, and every word in your script, you can choose a.…..Happy Story! A Love Story! Or… An Adventure Story!
