We Are the Stories That We Tell Ourselves

We are
the stories that we tell ourselves. We are the trust that we have in ourselves.
We are
the value
that we have assigned to our work.
We are
continually sharing
our inner narrative.
I have noticed that this inner narrative
is a combination
of nurture,
nature,
our immediate company
and our past.
Why not work on this story
more so
than its symptoms?
Inner tension can hurt,
but shining a light on it
gives you back the power.
Your inner narrative,
your evolving story that
you share about yourself,
can change
into whatever you’d like it to be.
