No shocker here - I had to do a post about the Season 2 Lifeclass Premiere on OWN. Did you watch? How many of us are not achieving what we could be because we are addicted to the stories we tell ourselves. Those stories become ingrained for years, decades, even a lifetime. What are you telling yourself? That you aren't smart enough, deserving enough, athletic enough, creative enough, thin enough.... Or perhaps it's a different story, perhaps it's the story that you use to excuse yourself from living better ---- the family I was born into didn't provide me with a strong foundation, there was too much pressure, we didn't have enough, we had too much. Stories in which we blame our families, our partners, our relationships, our experiences play over and over in our heads....
The fact is, they are just stories. They are stories that we tell ourselves over and over to excuse us from something more. And the lesson last night was that we have to let go of those stories so that we can live our to our truest, highest potential. Stop the negative chatter that confines us to the status quo and s-t-r-e-t-c-h... We are more capable than we could ever comprehend.
