Which Story Are You Telling?

Every time we speak, we’re telling stories about our lives.

These stories almost always fall into one of the following types:

  1. I could not do X because of these Y problems, or
  2. I did something despite these Y problems coming my way.

The first casts you as the victim of your story; the second lets you emerge as the hero.

I choose to listen to and tell the hero’s story. Which one will you choose?
