A Better Story
A Better Story
Yesterday I wrote a story about how gardening and getting fit have some parallels between them.
There are definitely lessons you can take from one to apply to the other.
But, if I told you that 1 in 4 people are going to be considered overweight in their lifetime, and that you need to do something about it, you'd switch off. Imagine if all we did was go around telling each other statistics.
Statistics are important to provide information, but they're not great for inspiring us to change.
Instead, we tell each other stories, and we've been doing it since we could tell each other stories.
AND...
We tell ourselves stories.
"I'm not good enough", "I can't do this", "I'll never be like them".
These stories are true, because we believe them, just as much as people believe in one God or another religion.
And so, we can tell ourselves a better story and start to believe that.
What could we do if the story we told our self was actually one that lead to a place we really wanted to go?
Until next time,
Marco
