Last Friday I went skiing and the normal runs were not enough. I just had to hike to the top so that I could ski some fresh powder in Serenity Bowl. Hiking in ski boots, at 12,500 ft., up a steep incline, in snow, while carrying skis is not exactly easy. There were quite a few people at the top, flat on their backs, huffing and puffing as they recovered from the climb.

And, we all did it because we were telling ourselves a story that – “this is fun!”

Let’s compare that to some tax preparation I’ve been procrastinating on for about a week now. I’m telling myself a different story here – “this is not fun!” And consequently, the results are quite different.

It is always all about the story.

We are always telling ourselves some sort of story (some that contribute to us and some that don’t). And those stories determine how we behave and how we act. And the stories are all made up anyway. And, it is extremely important to remember that at any time we can start telling ourselves a different story.

How long are you going to continue to tell yourself the same old stories that don’t contribute to you?

Much Love,
