There are some amazing story-tellers out there in the world, on the television, in the newspapers, on social media. Omnipresent narrators with an authoritative command of language and imagery and sound and special effects that wield supreme confidence. Doesn't matter if the stories they tell are largely fictional. They sound and look good so we believe them. We can't help but pay attention and give them credence even if we tell ourselves we don't. For you are a story-telling hominid. It's in your DNA. You respond to stories—on a guttural, instinctual level. You perceive your daily existence as a story unfolding into the future and stretching back through time. We are vulnerable to the power of stories. And so for this holiday season, this Christmas, or winter solstice, or whichever one you follow, give yourself the license to tell your own story. Used to be around the campfire you'd tell stories about the day's adventures, the hunts successful or failed, the trickster gods, the founding myths, the battles won or lost. Or you'd heed the stories of your close community, your village, your tribe. These were people with close ties to you. Maybe even blood ties. They knew you, and you knew them. It wasn't all hunky dory, but at least you were all in the same boat together, aiming for the same general outcomes. Those stories you could trust. And because they were "smaller scale" stories, you could also verify the ones you didn't quite trust. That was a limited world and we can't return to it, and there are many benefits to living in the modern far-flungness of the contemporary, but you can't help but note the downsides. Atomization. Lack of meaning and purpose. Traditions shattered whose pieces you pick up and try to reassemble. And stories whose provenance you can't verify with your own two eyes through direct experience. Instead, you have to research and second-guess everything. Triple-guess, even. You have to fact-check the stories and then fact-check the fact-checkers. Everyone's trying to sell you their version of reality—in order to sell something to you, convince you to go along with a narrative, or "nudge" you toward some desired behavior or outcome. This isn't necessarily a new phenomenon, but never before have the storytellers had such influence while also having so little direct connection to the consumers of the narrative. That's where we find ourselves: subjects to the Narrative, or narratives. This cannot continue. You are the protagonist, not a random side character that appears once or twice only to be subsumed into the narrative. When we stop telling our own story, or never start in the first place, we lose ourselves. When we tell our own story, we become the main character. And what happens in every story ever told when the protagonist accepts his or her role in the narrative? The protagonist rises to the occasion. The protagonist becomes the hero. That's the power of story that you need to access. To start telling your … Continue reading "The #1 Gift You Can Give Yourself This Year"
