Post 46: Bad Happens

November 08, 20221 min read

In his book Already Free, Bruce Tift says when we see the past as having trapped us, we are putting ourselves in a victim state. If the past only makes me bad, I am screwed because I cannot change the past. If I see the meaning of my past thoughts, deeds, or actions as changeable, I can make a new path forward.

She divorced me could mean I am doomed to be alone for the rest of my life, or I get to go find new love.

I was injured might signify I can never get back to where I was, or I can find a new way to become even stronger.

I made a mistake has the potential to make me be labeled a failure, or I become the comeback story others look up to.

Every single one of these options is a story I tell myself. I choose to write the story that makes me feel the best.

Bad happens. What I tell myself about it can affect everything else in my life.
