Our Stories

“It isn’t what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it’s what we say to ourselves about what happens.”

Pema Chodron

We all have stories we tell ourselves about the events in our lives.

Many of them are negative.

We often give far more meaning to events than they actually had, allowing them to control us and our actions.
Your stories can either leave you feeling helpless or empowered.
The story won’t completely take away the pain, but it will remind you that it’s temporary–and that you are not helpless.
We never are helpless until we choose to be.
