You can't control how others receive what you bring. Yesterday while speaking to a group of future broadcasters a simple thought entered my process of helping others grow forward. You are your own story. Today I chuckle. How much of that story has been influenced by what others have brought or forced into play? Are you the lead actor in this one act play? Being present in the mirror. Having that personal conversation with the two eyes that look back at you each time you look up from the road to check the traffic behind. Those eyes that have befriended not one but several different voices. Sounds that aren't always so encouraging. How do you get them to stop? Being present in the mirror. On this podcast we dive into some pretty heavy writing. Thoughts are never scratched out or edited. It's being mindful of the present. Documenting what is presently in this place called now. The writer in me calls it free form thinking. Trusting the stronger voices of your mind body and soul. Allowing them to be heard before the image in the mirror begins to turn. You are your own story. Reclaim it. Live it. Activate the lyrics of your own love song. Be present with your self in a world so timid that it has to impersonate in order to be accepted. Not you. You are your own story. Grow forward and outward.
