Life is story. What we know of the world and ourselves is made up of countless stories that we hear, tell to ourselves and share with others. But stories don’t just describe, they literally construct who we are, our relationship to the world and the way in which the world relates to us.
You can see yourself and everyone else as a complex pattern of diverse
stories that have led you to where and who you are right now. Being discerning about the stories you think about and entertain is becoming increasingly important in the age of media overflow. This is because stories can stimulate both change and stability at the level of the individual, the family, the organisation and even the society.
Create the future with words. Change the stories, add new characters and outcomes. Play with possibilities. Laugh more. See how you change as you experiment with your narrative patterns.
