Once you make a story out of it, you detach yourself from the dark side & view it from the lens of an observer
Every story has a character, conflict & lesson
You got the character & conflict, time to find out the lesson
"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."
The day that you learn that you are not your mind
Some people get there via a betrayal
Some get there via getting fired
Some get there via getting robbed
Bottom line...
☆You're here
You're not too sure what the next step is
And people who go thru rock bottom realize its not just a mental & emotional process....its also a physical one
You have a loss of appetite
And energy levels begin to plummet
Which is why its crucial to have empathy for someone going thru a tough time
It's part of being a stand up person
But ultimately, it comes down to 2
-does this moment break me?
-does this moment make me?
And the more you try to suppress them via drinking, weed, incessant partying...
The more you set yourself up for doom later on
Because what you suppress fights back
If not now, then later.
If you resist, then it persists
You observe without judgement
You may think it's the person that abandons everything & goes of to the moointans
But nah
Its about riding the waves rather than identifying with the water
Whatever thoughts come up, let it
Whatever emotions come up, let it
Just make yourself aware
You'll notice something
Who the fuck is observing me observing me??
Meaning... who is it exactly that is watching MY thoughts and emotions
You were identifying with the mind and body
To notice that you're much more than that
You're the constant observer of those changes
They learn a crucial life lesson that many never learn
You aren't your thoughts and feelings
Those come and go. You are the mountain of awareness
That's your journey towards detaching
But it's more than that
It's also a powerful force In the game of life
You consume stories from entertainment
And your ego is telling you stories every day
You're a creature of narrative
Question is, which story are you presenting to your subjective reality
It is what YOU experience
When you have detached yourself from the thoughts & emotions, you have more power to influence your subjective world rather than just being a bystander
The power to craft your own narrative is the foundation of a victor.
Remember, victims can't empathize with victors.
But Victors can empathize with victims because they were once a victim
Character
Conflict
Lesson
These are the fundamental elements
Now go find the lesson
Whatever it may be
Write it out rather than saying it out loud
Writing will have you being more of an observer of who you thought you were
Doesn't matter how small the good is.
But its buried within
That's called the silver lining
Ask yourself, what the silver lining is
This may not seem like much externally
But you are rewiring yourself internally
You may even feel some tingling sensations on the brain
Fear not...that's new neural pathways being formed
You don't need a bunch of books, podcasts, & blogs to learn storytelling
You just need to look within
It builds cultures
Breaks apart civilizations
And recreates them
You have access to the superpower
And all it took was the rock bottom moment to bring awareness to it
The more your consciousness levels rise, the less you identify with the mind and body alone
You identify with the divine side of every creature
Some call it the Soul.
Some stick to calling it consciousness.
That's the invisible bond (to our senses) that keeps everything running
Which allows us to experience
And that's what storytelling is all about
Making sense of your true self via tales
Turn the dark into light
Turn what you considered the end of your book into chapter 1 of the greatest story ever told
Discover who you are by finding out what you aren't
And you realize that once you realize that you had the power over your narrative all along....
