MY PHILOSOPHY OF STORY
Our experiences are always consistent with our assumptions.
Stories are how we understand, how we remember. And how we learn. People perceive and remember what fits into their personal plot-an internal script of oneself and one's world. Beliefs and assumptions (inspired by experiences) dictate what you look for and attribute meaning. We find or create that which validates those beliefs, and ignore, mistrust, disbelieve-or more likely don't notice-anything that doesn't fit into that pattern.
Each moment we actively construct what we think, feel, and experience.
As adults we become the sole authors of our own life stories. Every day begins a fresh page. Our assumptions tell us what to look for, and how to perceive and process experiences. Yet so often the story closest to us, our own, is the most difficult to read.
The only thing more difficult than changing and growing is not doing it.
People repeat behavior, even that which doesn't work, because it offers security and familiarity; predictability masquerades as effectiveness. When you move beyond a familiar pattern, you may experience anxiety. Repetition reinstates the security of the familiar, but sabotages invention and imprisons creativity. The ultimate question is: Does it work? Change begins with the recognition that you are the author of your own story. Insight, understanding, and theory do not create change.
The MentorPath™ journey addresses transformation to a successful life or business story. The steps actively incorporate new dimensions of personal, career, relationship, and financial growth.
