[satsang] If you want to change your life, then change the...

If you want to change your life, then change the story you tell yourself about it. Is the story of your life about being a victim? Then rewrite it and tell the story of you as the overcomer, the princess, the knight in shining armor, the hero. Is the story about someone who never gets it quite right? Then write a story where you are almost always competent and capable. When you were young, other people wrote the story of your life for you in the way they treated you and reacted to your actions. It was usually just an extension of their own stories. And you just kept on writing it as you had been taught. But you can change it now if you like. And don't think that you have to somehow change your external reality first. Change the story you tell yourself and the external world HAS to change accordingly. You literally create your own reality through the stories you write and believe about yourself. As ACIM says, "Life is a dream and you are the dreamer." Why not have a good dream instead of a nightmare?
