StoryTeller - Fantasy Self to Reality Part 3
I really touched on the point I want to make with Part 2, but I didn't specifically point it out. Sometimes we want to do a full reset on our understanding of ourselves. To remodel ourselves. Did you ever dream of moving to a new school in middle school or high school and becoming someone new? Like changing everything from the way you dress to the way you act?…

StoryTeller - Fantasy Self to Reality Part 2
Why do we put things off till another day? It's because we believe our Fantasy Self, or Future Self, is stronger than who we are right now. So how do we get from where we are now to that Fantasy Self that can conquer all these things we delay on? Let's use my sugar issue as an example. I want to eat the ice cream. I want to eat the candy. And I throw …

StoryTeller: Making Your Fantasy Self Real
It has been a hot minute since we've had a StoryTeller installment and it is very needed. In this moment, I am on the struggle bus. I don't want to work any more, at least not a 9 to 5. I want to write full time. I want to train and become the first professional athlete woman to break into a field and dominate. I want to eat all the sugar. A Meyer le…

When we last met, Batman was trapped by the Joker once again... erm... When we last met, we were talking about how we can get irritated by the very thing we were recently hoping for. That sweet, lovely puppy... that's shitting all over your white couch. We have a couple issues that come to mind in this situation. 1) Awareness - we often aren't even aw…

We've been repeating lies since the Garden
And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Genesis 3:11 Stop and think about it. Even if you don't believe in the bible, I believe the bible plays a foundational part in our understanding of ourselves, our relationship with God/s, and our understanding of sin. Here we are according to this, we are naked but we aren't naked because naked is a …

StoryTeller - Hard Things Continued
Sometimes on our way to do hard things we get overwhelmed. We've started telling a new story to ourselves and we hit a wall mentally. If you can power past it, go for it! But what if you can't power past it. What if you try to power past it and you end up giving up all together. First have patience and grace with yourself. Don't fall back into old s…

StoryTeller - Hard Things
Those people you dream of being or being like. Those that are further along in their story, they did hard things to get there. I listen to them talk, all of them, about how people ask them how did they become so quickly. And every single one asks, "this was quick?" We look at people who seemingly overnight become big. But they've been blogging for …

Story Teller - Our Most Told Stories
2020 has been a very difficult year for so many. So much loss in so many different forms. Loss of life. Loss of our definitions of our days. Loss of jobs. Loss of way of life. Loss of proms. Loss of graduations. Loss of our traditional celebrations that define us at a fundamental way. So far 2021 is no different. When we are in the struggle, it is a strug…

Storyteller - Who Are You?
Who Are You? I was listening to a book written by a Tibetan monk the other morning. He was discussing a meditation practice to determine who within himself was feeling a specific thing. It had nothing to do with what we will be discussing here, but it triggered a great question that will help us in our journey. Who are you currently? Who are you in the future?…

StoryTeller - You are NOT Your Family
My uncle was a convict. My uncle was a frequent escaped convict. My family was proud of his escapades. I was in kindergarten/first grade when my uncle escaped from prison. He had starved himself and was admitted to the hospital. Security, at that time, was lax and he escaped from there. My aunt was running to join up with him, I believe in California. My bi…

Stories To Fall in Love With
So far we've discussed a bit of storytelling in regards to our past, present, and future. I thought I would share where this all came from. I read a book where the author was writing about their life, particularly their love life. It was well written and I had practically fallen in love with their spouse by the end. It was that engaging. But the author ha…

Our discussion of big dreams is going to dip back into the past as we continue to build energy and power for the life we want to live. Big dreams are those plans you have in life that make you so excited you have troubles sleeping. You think of each aspect in incredible detail. Your soul feels hopeful.

You are a storyteller. Your life thrives or dies based on the stories you tell. Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you and as soon as you begin telling yourself this, the sooner life will blossom for you. This is such an intrinsic, fundamental, and life changing thing I would like to spend some time talking about it. At a high level to begin with, y…
